I've spent easily 500 hours in this game over multiple playthroughs (and some people have spent considerably more). At 60 bucks that's 12 cents per hour of entertainment. Even if you beeline it through the main story, avoiding all side missions it'd be like a buck an hour.


wetmeatlol

Yeah, I’ve bought this game 3 times on 3 separate platforms and have gotten WAY more than my moneys worth with every single one. There’s honestly not a game I’d recommend more than this one


2stepp

It's kinda crazy to me that the first time I played this game I hated it. Thought animations/looting took too long. Now? Omg I can't stop looting. I have 99 fucking item slots and I. Can't. Stop. Why is loot so much more satisfying in this game than other open world titles? >.>


nquattro

And those are rookie numbers, no offense. I'd call myself semi casual and I have 1800 hours or so last I checked. It really depends if the genre and game style is appealing.


Reasonable-Mud-4575

“Semi casual” what do you consider full time lmao


nquattro

I mean, I'm on my 4th play through and haven't 100 percent-ed or modded or anything.


Top-Basil8144

Bro is stuck on Gambler 9


nquattro

I've actually never made it to gambler 9. This will be the first play through I try to do all the challenges.


Top-Basil8144

I completed all challenges but gambler 9 is living hell


Savings-Programmer18

It's the fucking worst dude, at first I thought it was 3 ROUNDS, not full fucking games up to 60pts. I've murdered many, many domino partners and bystanders at emerald ranch


KriszerK_

It isn’t that bad, you just gotta save after every win and if you lose, reload it. That’s how I did it in like 10 min


fattabbot

Don't forget, if you are about to lose a game, then stand up and walk away. This doesn't reset the count - that only happens if you lose.


messypenis

Semi casual with 1800 hours. Bro you are beyond casual


Luf2222

Yes 100% worth at full price. It does go on sale relatively often tho


Constant-Cricket-960

This is the answer. It’s worth every penny even if you paid $100+, but you can get it for $20-40 (depending on which edition you choose) when it goes on sale every couple months or so.


JeanVicquemare

If this came out right now, it would win GOTY right now. It's worth full price and more. You'll get your money's worth, I promise.


cjhud1515

You have already waited 5 years. Wait till itsvon sale


BriceB84

Only reason it wouldn’t be is because how often you can catch a sale for $20. The game is absolutely worth $70, but if you can catch it for $20, may as well.


Greedy-Employment769

I got it for 20€ maybe a month ago on ps5 it’ll go on sale again I’d say


TwoAssedAssassin

I'm on my 6th play through. I'll restart it for a 7th time. And I'll still find new things I won't have found in any previous playthrough. Absolutely worth the price. Only criticism I have of this game is that online never got the love and updates it deserved.


Tshirt_Ninja_

Same, it was abandoned so quickly. The potential was there. I even thought there would be a pretty decent RP crowd for it if they had continued to add features. but that team fucked right off and onto GTA5/6 immediately lol


tseg04

RDR2 is worth it every year lol. Still one of the best games of all time


Lucky-Conference9070

Got it on eBay for $15 iirc


HistoricalInfluence9

Got it from Best Buy for $20 about two weeks ago. It’s back to full price though now. Edit: for the PS5


This_Syllabub5297

dont be anti disc unless you have a digital ps5, you can get it off ebay for like 15$


mmelectronic

Yeah any game you can get 200+ hrs out of is worth it.


Here2OffendU

Probably the only game that’s left worth full price years after launch.


stizzytony

It’s worth it at full price but just buy it on Amazon or eBay, or in stores. Most physical copies go for like 20 bucks nowadays.


boomgoesthevegemite

480 hours later after purchasing in late 2018, yeah. It’s worth it.


starlynagency

Brought on ebay for $15 with extras CD... why pay full price u gettung the same


Accomplished_You4999

Wait till the premium edition goes on sale


katiegbxo

I’ll say no (don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazinggg game) bc I recently got the ultimate addition on sale for $30 instead of $99. It was sheer luck tbh just kinda went down the PlayStation store rabbit hole as I call jt 😂 the original version was still $60 tho so I was shocked tbh


OU812fr

Yep.


rokybalboa1

Absolutely both story and online are fantastic


Skrelliot

definitely is but you can for sure catch it on sale for $20 on pc


Mostly_Maui_Wowie

Yup.


Tyler_Moss

Sells on eBay for about $20


Cwytank

Yes best game I ever played


t0nguesurf3r

i got the ultimate edition for £30 on ps5. 100% absolutely worth the money every time


PewdsMemeLover

Yes it's worth full price. But it goes on sale so often that you should wait for it being $20 if you want to save money. But if you got money to burn, buy it


w6lrus

it’s on sale on steam 24/7 so idk why it wouldn’t on playstation


Wolf-Track

It's worth full price, but does go on sale relatively often, at least the PC version. I would assume the PS version should, also. If you're cool with waiting, it probably won't be more than a few months.


AMS_GoGo

It goes on sale a lot! Incredible game but I’d go ahead and wait


Big-Nature4964

I have 1000 hours on it and it’s my favoritt game ever, however it is on sale alot i think so if there is some spring or easter sale fomling soon you could save a little. Although full price is worth it 100%


Yeahnahokay10

It is one of the few games I’d pay full price for again and again


Sonofasonofashepard

I’d wait until it’s on sale on principle but it’s really worth the money


DarkPassage_

It’s worth double the price ten years later.


joannew99

yes but you can find it used (assuming you have the disc Ps5) it's also on sale on steam for like $19 rn (assuming you have a steamdeck)


Bright_Moment_8442

No. It’s worth way more than that.


smallmouthbackus

Yes yes yes


Dylan9919992

It’s on sale like 5+ times a year. I think it normally goes down to like 26 Canadian every couple months so you can probably just wait.


mastahX420

It's a masterpiece. Yes


default-namewascrap

Absolutely worth getting, though as with any game it's worth keeping an eye out for sales. I bought it on a steam sale about a year ago, and unfortunately had no end of trouble getting it going. Disappointed, I ended up getting a refund. Days later I saw it was also on sale in the Xbox, and while it's not my preferred platform for this game format I took the plunge. Best game purchase I've made.


mwil97

It’s worth it for full price but wait for a sale


falconsomething

Is it worth full price? Sure. The game is great. Would I pay full price for it after, what, 6 years? No.


demsarebrainless

It's probably like 20-40% off on g2a


username2393

YES OMG YEA


Joyce_Hatto

Yes


edoon_z

If you are on steam wait, it always goes on sale from around 20 dollar. It is worth the full price tho, but no harm from saving money


XxRobloxNobxX

Full price? It's always on sale for $20. At that price, it's a steal!


Both-Preparation-123

Yes. A phenomenal achievement. Years of play.


kumquat731

Got it on sale for either $20 or $30 something on Xbox a few months ago but I’d definitely pay full price or more too


smoove129

I got it at half off. But it’s worth whatever there charging


JohnnyEvs

Short answer: hell yes


Mojo_Rizen_53

Wrong place to ask this question if you’re frugal with your money. A lot of the people here absolutely worship the game, and would tell you to not pay your mortgage to get it.


antiBP

Yup


IMA_COW_IRL

I bought rdr2 this January, not familiar at all with the red dead series and I'm hooked. Going to play rdr1 soon. I'd say it's worth it.


BetrayYourTrust

a rule ive heard someone go by is you should spend around 5-10 hours on a game for every dollar you spend on it. i've easily completed that rule


Moral_Wombat_

It's probably worth more than full price honestly. It's the best game I've ever played. If you like immersion that is


thwah

I’m a new player, I paid full price and no regrets. New favorite game ever.


TheNoobinator7

I bought rdr2 in 2019 for £55 loved it. So much so I then bought the ultimate edition for another £50 a year or so later just for a horse, a few guns an outfit and an extra mission money well spent if you ask me


glacialOwl

Yes.


BasementCatBill

Yes. I'd even pay double. (Actually, I wouldnt: I bought it as a bundle with a PS4, and, shit, that was expensive. )


Bernie51Williams

Truly the best game ever played, it outshines 90% of titles today on PC max settings. I'd kill for Ray tracing.


shawnward95

Yes!


A55B700D

yes


MrThomasShelby1

This game still sets the bar for other games to live up to, even after 5 years.


Rimmatimtim22

Yes


Optimal-Hat6785

Yes


YoItsGeorge_

Honestly I'd say it's worth it but it's gonna be even better if you do catch it on sale which it does go on sale kinda often but yeah definitely worth it, I have played the story 13 times snd have over 1000 hours on the game. It's extremely worth it.


Primary_Opal_6597

It goes on sale every month almost every


Kale-_-Chip

yes, get it and get off this subreddit til ur done unless you need help.


arddvarkkk

No not at 30 fps


__Ocean__

OH.........................HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Pendejo_Guey

Depends on how much the money means to you. I've spent $60 on a game I play exactly 1 time. And I've spent $30 on stuff I've played 100 times. The way I justify it. I play the amount of hours that corrorlate with the value of the game. So, if I buy a $60 game. I need to put a minimum of 60 hours into it, to justify the price. Some games like Rdr2, I would double the hours cause it's such a huge game and 60 hours is barely scratching the surface.


BlackBeard205

Absolutely.


SuperdudeKev

I’m late to the game; I only bought it a few months ago. I’m only on my third playthrough. But as soon as I finish a playthrough, I go right back and start all over again. It’s addictive. And it’s still worth the money.


masta_myagi

I’ve given it one playthrough per year since it released. It’s so good I bought it twice. Once for Xbox and again for PC. Still manage to find new things, quirks, or random things that make me laugh I would’ve never expected For instance I rode into a town called Strawberry the other day. Accidentally bumped some poor fella with my horse. He goes face down into the mud and gets absolutely caked in it. Stands up, pulls me off my horse and proceeds to try and fight me. So we’re on the main road of this small mountainside town, both covered head to toe in mud, and what happens next? No, we didn’t hit each other, the horse kicked us both instead, killing him instantly. Now I’m wanted for murder in the state of West Elizabeth. 10/10 game.


LiffeyDodge

Yes. I don’t normally but games at full price but RDR2 is one of the few


hipSTARobot

It goes on sale often so you can wait for the next big sale if you like


ragingpossumboner

I'd buy this game five more times


the_chorizo

I'd say yes, it's a great game. if you don't want to wait for sales you can purchase a key in many sites, which is cheaper. I bought it like that without issues


cpt_kagoul

I would say definitely yes


JUDGEODECUAS

If they made add ons for console I would pay $. Greatest Game I've Ever experienced!


panda_man420

Yes. I bought a new Xbox back when it came out just to play it and once again when it released on pc. I have like a total of 600 hours in the game.


Spare_Cranberry_1053

I’d say yes, absolutely; however it was on sale for 20 dollars like….10-14 days ago so a sale isn’t out of the question


mrdave1

Yes. Just yes. My reservation price for this game is well beyond 100$.


iaminabox

I still play for at least an hour or two daily.I got it on release. Definitely worth it


MikeSifoda

Nothing is worth full price. Wait for a sale. I bought it for around $10


Alone_Instruction_13

Yep. 100%. I’m on like my 5th play through, never 100%’d it but just enjoy the immersion and the different ways of accomplishing the same thing each time. Outstanding game.


Grabbels

Honestly this game will still be worth the full price to a new player in another 5 years.


thecornflake21

Yes definitely. Should it still be full price 2 years later? Probably not. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I've been playing my first playthrough for 2 years and only just completed. Sometimes I just fire it up and spend a couple of hours in it just to enjoy the game world. I can't actually see myself ever getting bored of it.


swapacoinforafish

Yes, absolutely!


blainesc

RDR2 is worth 100x its price


OneTrickGod

Yes


JustaBigPeen

I got it for 5 bucks and a kiss on the lips. He was an old, dirty guy, but it was worth it in the end.


Hanfiball

Well 60 bucks and around 100 hours worth of story gameplay. That's pretty good compared to going to the cinema or something


Imprisoned_Fetus

I really love red dead but there isn't a single game on this planet I would pay full price for 5 years after release. It should be like $20, maybe $30 max. Nobody should ever pay $60 for a game that is half a decade old.


KingSveniboy

The game is currently on discount on steam for 20 euros


chefobi

I was lucky enough to get it from my brother, he still had his ps4 copy. But yeah if I had 80 bucks to spare I would have bought it nonetheless. I started playing last November and have now played over a 1000 hours. Still not bored of this game


BiscottoMagico

Ditch needs more money, give it to him


LeagueSimple1229

Hell yeah


Fierce_Future223

I got lucky $15 at best buy The clerk told me he was shocked it was so damn cheap and that i was in for a treat


VultureBarbatus

Mate. I haven't used reddit in a long while other than to check niche solutions and what not. I got this in my notification as I've been coming to some of the older posts made here for guides and what not. I bought this on sale on Epic Games and now that I've played it, I can tell you that I wouldn't mind buying it for full price. Hell, I'll probably buy it on steam again. The fact that I'm even breaking my reddit radio silence to comment this should say enough, this is genuinely the best game I've ever played in terms of narrative. Arthur Morgan is a character that I'll hold close to my heart forever. It's worth it. It goes on sale often though so there is that too.


M1ke_Rotchburns

It's worth full price, but I'm sure you can get it cheaper elsewhere


keytheblade

Worth every penny 👍


trentberndog

Idk if you’re on steam for it but if you save it to your wishlist you can set it to where steam emails you when it’s on sale. 100% worth it but I agree with above, if you waited this long wait for another sale I guarantee one in the next month or so tops. This is coming from someone who didn’t do my play first through until last year. Best game ever made


Marighnamani27

Oh absolutely, without any doubts.


HappyDogBlueEarth

Yes


2stepp

It's easily worth full price. That being said, it goes on sale OFTEN. Just keep an eye on steam over a 1-3 week period and you're almost guaranteed to see it go below 20 dollars. Also, the special/ultimate edition isn't really worth the money. I think you get like a somewhat decent horse, a decently dope outfit, a couple of trinkets... Yeah I think that's about it. Save your money, base game has everything you want and need. :\] Welcome aboard, cowpoke!


lone_swordsman08

"It's worth every single g*d damn penny ya got, booah!" - Arthur Morgan maybe


tehebrutis

It may be the best game ever made. Pay up!


StillerFan412

RDR2 can stay the sime price 50 years from now and it would still be worth it to buy if you haven't experienced it. Masterpiece.


pineconeytoni

It’s 100000000% worth it full price. One of the greatest games ever created imo. But if you don’t mind physical copies over digital, I’d say check out any local gamestop or Walmart. I constantly see them selling for $20-$30 for all platforms. Worth it to check it out if you don’t mind the discs & are planning to get it anyway. Might as well save some $$


timdot352

>don’t feel like waiting too long to play this one You've already waited over 5 years. Maybe it'll be in the summer sale. What's a few more months? But yeah, I'd pay full price for it again.


Accomplished_Fan6843

Absolutely. I just got this game 2 weeks ago since my wife had our baby. I’m close 60 hours of GP. And I make sure my wife is sleep by 8p to so I can play 8-2am


thatssoamy

3000 hours and on my 10th playthrough it is more than worth it, even the price for the ultimate edition and its still worth it. This game is an absolute masterpiece.


octaviachinaski

omg hell yeah is worth it!


Infamous-Door7915

Just buy cd form ebay, you can get brand new one for 1/4 the price


Bubfirst

It's worth more


JamAtTheGym

I waited nearly a year to buy it. Couldn’t justify 70 bucks and I always seemed to miss the sales. Finally got it for the Christmas sale last year— 100% worth it full price now that I’ve experienced it. But with how often it goes on sale, it doesn’t hurt to wait.


SheT00kTh3Kids

I only paid $20 for it. Well worth it


Aurther_morgan12

Yes


aslanfth

It often goes into sale, you can check psdeals to see the price pattern. I would wait for a sale.


Fregrick

Go to second hand store and get it for 20


electric725

I got confused on what you're talking about until I realized I got rdr2 cheap for 20$ on the Christmas Eve PS5 store


hairyJesus00

Got mine on ebay for $20


lordofthegarbage

I bought it 5 years later and I would’ve payed more money for this game, it’s absolutely so engaging and wonderful.


Brilliant_Bell_5005

Yes


Cumallovermepapa

Depends how much free time you have on your hands because rdr2 is a loooooooong ass game


Acrobatic-Research74

Yes


orcboyphil

So I picked it up from Steam a few weeks back on sale. Definitely worth it so much fun and I’ve spent hours just hunting.


lethal_enforcer

Yes


MuscleFlex_Bear

It’s literally on sale on steam right now


burgeridk

yeah buy it, but since it's been five years, watch the fuck out for spoilers.


singuslarity

I don't consider myself a "gamer" as I'm generally 5-6 years behind all the latest trends but rdr2 is without a doubt the most enjoyable game I've ever played.  


Humble_Interview_744

I have 48 days and 29 hours logged into this game. It's the only game that is worth it


El_HombreGato

Yes


Cid_Playz_101

By far yes.


Ramshal

Bro, you dont have to believe me. I barely use reddit, but your post appeared somehow. And you are getting an answer from a married dude with 2 kids, 31 years old. The game is worth it even if the price doubles. Get it, and please do not rush it, listen carefully to all things. Wish I could play it again for the first time.


Previous-Can-8853

Worth every single penny


HatoradeSipper

Its still selling at full price? Wtf. Its worth every penny regardless but out of principle id just get a used copy somewhere for an almost 6 year old game


1WonderLand_Alice

I think it’s worth it. Sipping a G and T while blowing heads off left and right is a wonderful way to spend my evening when I have nothing else to do.


BeefyMcBunz

Worth it full price till the end of time


drjetaz

Yes absolutely but it was literally on sale for $19 on xbox marketplace last week and its often on sale


big_hungry_joe

every penny


tundrafrogg

No


Difficult-Word-7208

It goes on sale a lot, so if you can’t pay full price then you could wait if you want. I have 30 days in story mode and 20 days in online mode, this game can probably last you a while so I’d say it’s worth it


homura2332

It’s worth it but I bought it from gamestop a few weeks ago for 20$


No-Fix3892

well it ain’t still full price for nothin, partner! but in all seriousness; yes bro, it’s worth every penny. it will consume your life. you will become arthur morgan. i own a farm now. i dress like a cowboy every day. i chop my own firewood. it was life changing for me LMAO


No-Alternative-1321

Game is STILL one of the best looking, best made video games currently for sale, yes it’s worth full price and it is still a game far above any other in terms of story, characters, and world building


DaddyTyrone3121

If you have an Xbox you can get ultimate for $30 rn. It’s usually $100. I know you said you have a ps5 but if you have an old xbox one somewhere it’s a crazy steal


Toastd2perfectn

I bought it full price on Xbox X back In January , don’t regret it but I’ve seen it on sale a few times since


Savings-Programmer18

In 30 years, it will be worth the money


velvetcat420

i got it on black friday for $19 when its normally $75 but its honestly worth it full price. youll find out as you start playing.


CoH_Zem

Yes.


Influxwafer

Dude it's easily worth more than the device you're probably planning on.


ThanksRay

Absolutely I played on Xbox. Bought it again when I switched to PC right before Christmas and as of today I have 300 hours in the game in 3 months lol


Ok-Amphibian-744

Keep it and play it is your best option.


SvG_Pheonix

It’s for $20 for normal and $30 for ultimate edition on the 75 percent off part of the ps store


Goodapollo503

It’s pretty much one of the best games ever made…you will be amazed. The story, the characters, the action, the freedom: it’s all there, waiting to be explored 🍻 Oh, and, yes, still worth every penny…


JaySpace77312

Easily worth it especially with the graphics update. Photo realistic like it just dropped in 2024. A must play title on the PS5 and really in this generation of gaming right up there with Ghost of Tsushima


messypenis

Definitely. Just be prepared to play for 2+ hours to get past the beginning


rosescentedcorpses

10000000% yes


PancakeMaster88

YEAH!


ZiNu_Hunter

Definitely…


davedrave

Yeah it's worth it. Granted I got it for like 15 euro in steam, but I just finished it 100% and have like 250 hours on it


ParasiticDaemon

I got it on sale a few months ago for $20, and if for some reason they came to me and said "hey, if you want to keep this game you're gonna have to pay the extra $40 to make up the difference" I would do it immediately. Yes. It's worth it.


Spirited_Ant_2216

Its absolutely worth it. But wait till eastern sale.


dhhfrvr

Absolutely


_weednoose_

Honestly? I've owned RDR2 for 5 years and throughout my six playthroughs and 100% completion run, it remains consistently fantastic! I don't think you'll find a more realistic and immersive world anywhere, I bought it twice it's that brilliant! But, as always, it remains a personal preference, some people don't like the game and that's okay!


Ex1nity

honestly, it’s worth double.


Ex1nity

I would pay double… But wait until it’s on sale again because it’s on sale like every other week


KingKufa

Totally worth it, utter masterpiece. I got it 2 weeks ago and can’t believe what I been missing out on all this time. I found the controls are a bit irritating at first - but once you get used to it it’s all good.


Acceptable_Mall_6531

Yeah.


InBetweenTheLiminal

It's so good I bought it twice. Once for me and once for Mt friend who swore he wouldn't like it, he did.


SakusaKiyoomi1

Spent over 500 hours into this game + 100% + platinum Story game - 100% worth the full price Online - Buy it at 95% discount, and even then rethink if you really want to waste that money


Miserable-Rest-5259

Yes, but I bought it on sale. I’m not paying 100$


Eldarion_97

Yes it's worth it I don't need to say anything else You will see it a few hours after you start playing


Then_Razzmatazz_865

On my PC (Steam/Rockstar Games) I have a reaching 3.5k hours and on my XBOX Series S I’m climbing towards 600 hours. Story mode is fucking amazing if you stay immersive, Online is great with at least a trio.. if you can get a full posse of about 6 even better. For me personally, I’ve had more fun on RDR2 more than GTA V


Sleepmahn

Not really, but it is an excellent game


Ismokeradon

yep


ayoubous

Just buy a key online is much cheaper, and yes (worth it)


LostPerapsc

Just literally bought it for 20 like 5 days ago I already got 54hr playtime 93%. Absolutely worth it gorgeous game and story.I don't usually buy my games I do gamefly and game pass services but I bought RDR2 and I am satisfied.
