I played heavily back in the day I don’t think the money was ever really the problem It was the time. When I finally settled down and had a family I had to stop. $15 a month for service and $50 every 2 years for DLC isn’t really all that much money If you consider 60 hours a week of entertainment for that price a deal. If you are that close to the edge you’re going to be on the edge anyway.
While monetarily the subscription is stupid expensive, several years ago blizzard added a way to pay in-game gold for an item that’s worth a month’s game time.
If this person is putting off eating to play they’re would be considered “hardcore” in my opinion. And if that’s the case, they probably have way to get around the monthly cost, or they could have bought mass time all at once on discount.
I would buy all the enchanting mats below a certain price, buy all the items that rewarded those mats, disenchant everything, then list all the mats much higher than I paid. Bank.
Same. I logged about 20 hours on it before my desire to play just kind of slowly faded away. The game was too large and long to warrant such basic gameplay mechanics. You could be fully upgraded within 5-10 hours and then you’ve essentially seen all the gameplay there is. There’s maybe 6-12 random “quests” you’ll see while traveling (those dynamic events, e.g. a wagon being robbed), so even that part of it becomes repetitive pretty fast.
I’ll get downvoted, but RDR2 is a really overrated game, in my opinion. The game was well made, no doubt about it. Its graphics and environmental design are still gorgeous even to this day, despite being 8 years old. The voice acting, writing, direction, cinematography, etc. are all very well executed. However, at the end of the day, I just found it kind of boring to play.
I started and stopped Red Dead 2 several times over a few years, because while I enjoyed the story at first, it just wasn’t gripping. Then eventually you get to a point where the story picks up and you’re hooked. It has such a good ending.
I did exactly the same. The game had been played on and off about 3 times, never really getting anywhere, but the time after that it suddenly picked up and became one of my favorite games!
This screenshot made me long for NMM. Spending hours curating mods to create the perfect look and feel, then spending less than half the time playing the game lol
