GTA, Red Redemption And Other Rockstar Hits Are All On Sale Right Now

GTA, Red Redemption And Other Rockstar Hits Are All On Sale Right Now

Yahoo28-01-2025

Almost all of Rockstar's PC catalog is currently on sale right on Steam. That includes games like Red Dead Redemption II, Grand Theft Auto V, Bully, and many more.
The Rockstar Games Sale started on January 23 and is set to end on February 6, so don't wait too long if you've been wanting to buy GTA V. Then again, based on how many millions of copies of GTA V are sold every year, statistically speaking, the odds are you already own Rockstar's uber-popular open-world crime sim. But there are plenty of other great Rockstar games to pick up in the current Steam sale.
If you can only buy one game as part of this Rockstar sale, I'd recommend Red Dead Redemption II. Normally Rockstar charges $60 for the 2018 open-world Western. Right now, however, you can get it for just $15. Even better, Red Dead Redemption II runs just fine on a Steam Deck. And thanks to Rockstar finally porting the original Red Dead Redemption to PC late last year, you can grab that one on sale, too. However, Rockstar only has it marked down to $40 instead of $50, which is just outrageously expensive for a decade-old Xbox 360 port.Anyway, here are the other Rockstar PC games currently on sale on Steam until February 6:
GTA: The Trilogy: Definitive Edition - $24 ($60)
GTA IV & Episodes From Liberty City - $6 ($20)
Grand Theft Auto V - $15 ($25)
Red Dead Redemption - $40 ($50)
Red Dead Redemption 2 - $15 ($60)
Red Dead Online - $10 ($20)
Max Payne - $3.50 ($10)
Max Payne 2 - $2.50 ($10)
Max Payne 3 - $6 ($20)
Manhunt - $3.50 ($10)
LA Noire - $6 ($20)
LA Noire VR Case Files - $15 ($30)
Bully: Scholarship Edition - $5 ($15)For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Post Malone navigated a very damp night for a sold out crowd at Gillette

That might have been necessary to buy in to the scale of the production. With booming, busy drums and lurching guitar squeals, plenty of numbers leaned on sound and fury and signified not much, and the flame bursts and fireworks that punctuated songs like 'Rockstar' simply underlined his band's churning sensory-overload maximalism. With its late-'70s adult-contemporary tinkly-piano sound, 'What Don't Belong To Me' was soft rock, but loud. The rolling cut-time country of 'M-E-X-I-C-O,' meanwhile, was energetic but not particularly convincing. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up But if the singer's recent Nashville pivot may have been mercenary in nature, it also came off as dopily genuine; Malone's great gift as a pop star is his utter inability to radiate anything but sincerity. Leaning into a rasp and a twang, he pulled off the big-spectacle country of 'Wrong Ones' better than a lot of big-spectacle country stars, and the straight-up heartstring-tugger 'Yours' imagined the wedding of his three-year-old daughter, a country theme if ever there was one. Advertisement Even if he didn't slip or fall, Malone's performance didn't always have sure footing. His voice was sometimes more robust than on record, as on a more dynamic 'Better Now,' and sometimes it was even more warbly and thin. He inserted 'Boston' into the lyrics of 'M-E-X-I-C-O' and Morgan Wallen's 'I Ain't Comin' Back,' and it flew by so quickly in both cases that either nobody noticed or nobody cared. Still, Malone's affability was so strong that he could bring a fan in a Dallas Cowboys jersey onstage to perform with him and get the crowd to stop booing long enough for him to sing the almost delicate 'Feeling Whitney' accompanied only by her fingerpicking on acoustic guitar. (The booing recommenced after.) And as he returned from the rigging at the back of the stadium where he sang the encore, he stopped to sign autographs and pose for selfies along the way as his band pounded out the post-rock scope of 'Congratulations.' 'As long as you ain't hurting nobody, keep being yourself,' he concluded, advice that's worked out pretty well for Post Malone. Jelly Roll performs at Gillette Stadium.

Elden Ring Nightreign's Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat

Elden Ring Nightreign has enjoyed a massive launch on Steam, but the excitement was tarnished by a 'mixed' user review rating. FromSoftware's co-op spin-off saw an incredible 313,593 peak concurrent users on Steam overnight, enough to make Elden Ring Nightreign one of the most-played games on Valve's platform. But it also came with a number of negative reviews (67% of the reviews are positive so far), most of which point out Elden Ring Nightreign's lack of duos, or two-player co-op, and voice chat. Elden Ring Nightreign drops players into the shifting lands of Limveld, exploring and fighting for survival either solo or in groups of three. There is no way to play two-player co-op. As explained in IGN's Elden Ring Nightreign review: "Let's get the most important caveat out of the way first: if you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn't for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn't patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games." We've got plenty of Nightreign tips and tricks to help you take down all the eight Nightlord Bosses, and if you're wondering how to unlock the two locked Nightfarer Classes, check out How to Unlock the Revenant and How to Unlock the Duchess, plus How to Change Characters. In IGN's interview with Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki, the Nightreign lead developer discussed the choice to lean on solos and trios as the core experience options. When asked why there's no option for a pair of players to drop in together without a matchmade third player, Ishizaki said it was overlooked. "The simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we're very sorry about that," said Ishizaki. "As we said before, we set out to make this a multiplayer co-op game for three players, balanced for three players, so that was the main focus and it's at the core of Nightreign. "Of course, I myself as a player understand that and often want times where I'm just playing myself, so this is something that we considered from the start," Ishizaki continued. "And so we did put a lot of effort into creating this experience that was playable for solo players in as much as the rules and new systems allowed. So in putting all our efforts into that aspect, we kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect, but this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support as well." This means that if you're playing with just your favorite duos partner, you have to accept a random third into your game. Playing trios is very much what Elden Ring Nightreign is built some players are unhappy with the situation. 'Elden Ring co-op, but not really,' reads one negative Steam review. 'You need three people, two isn't allowed. And why? Because. How can something like this happen? I'm deeply disappointed and thought about a refund.' 'No duo option, had random people join to just run off and do their own thing,' reads another negative review. 'Let me duo with my mate…' 'If you don't have two other friends to play with in voice chat, don't waste your time,' another negative review said. 'Game is Elden Ring, but 3p, and the solo queue is abysmal (queuing up to play with randoms). Without VC it's super hard to coordinate where to go, where chests/consumables are, trying to drop items for teammates, etc. Even though I really love Elden Ring and roguelites in general as well as Nightreign's syle of gameplay, I wouldn't see myself ever playing this game again without friends in VC, or if 1p experience wasn't as hard as a 'level 1 Elden Ring any% speedrun.' 'I think no matter how good you are at the game, it doesn't matter if you're bad at teamwork, especially in an environment where communicating is close to nonexistent (pins in a punishing fast-paced PvE game isn't it lol).' The voice chat issue keeps cropping up. Here's another negative review: 'Impossible to make progress without voice chat. If you have three friends you can talk to and play regularly, you will have a great time, the connection is smooth, the map is full of events and the game loop is very interesting. 'However I am a 41-year-old man and I don't have friends to regularly play this with, let alone two others (you need three people to go in as a team, two won't work either). 'Even if they bring voice chat in the game (I'm not sure how there isn't one at the moment) you won't really enjoy this as much as if you were trying to fight with buddies, as your responsiveness with randoms will affect how you feel about your game a lot. 'Playing it solo queue with randoms is hard, it's hard to communicate, it's hard to share items, it's hard to discuss tactics or decide on the next area to farm, it's just hard. 'TL;DR, if you don't have two more friends you can group up with regularly, it's not fun.' As Ishizaki suggested in our interview, duos is something FromSoftware may add to Elden Ring Nightreign in the future. Until then, you're faced with solo or three-player only. Ahead of the launch of Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware warned PC gamers that they may experience framerate drops if they're using "the latest graphics cards." In a vague note to fans included with Elden Ring Nightreigh's day-one patch notes, FromSoftware said it was investigating the cause, and suggested those affected drop the graphics settings down from the default "High" to "Medium" or "Low" and lowering the screen resolution, as well as installing the latest drivers for your graphics card. Check out these crucial Elden Ring Nightreign tips and tricks we put together from the network test — and keep an eye on the IGN Nightreign wiki for plenty more guides when the game launches.

Elden Ring Nightreign's Toughest Challenge So Far? Finding Friends to Play With

It's early days for Elden Ring Nightreign, but already players have run up against their toughest challenge so far. No, it's not a classic FromSoftware boss, it's the struggle to find friends to play with. Elden Ring Nightreign drops players into the shifting lands of Limveld, exploring and fighting for survival either solo or in groups of three. There is no way to play two-player co-op. We've already reported on Elden Ring Nightreign's 'mixed' Steam user review rating, with most of the complaints revolving around a lack of a duos option as well as no voice chat. Playing Elden Ring Nightreign solo is proving to be a particularly difficult experience. As explained in IGN's Elden Ring Nightreign review: "Let's get the most important caveat out of the way first: if you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn't for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn't patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games." So, solo players are faced with matchmaking with random players, which itself is presenting problems because of a lack of coordination required to defeat Elden Ring Nightreign's bosses. As a result, players are turning to the Elden Ring community for help. The Elden Ring subreddit, for example, is packed with requests from duos looking for a third player (yes, the community is having fun with this situation). The nightreign sub looking like a threesome sub byu/justhereforstoriesha inEldenring 'There's like a zero % chance I'd find one other person to play with much less two,' said redditor trickponies. 'Is the game even worth it solo?' Players are pointing out that Elden Ring Nightreign does have matchmaking, so you can play trios if you do not have friends to play with. But, as others have countered, playing this game with randoms isn't always the best experience. 'I have seen too many videos on this sub to trust randoms with anything more than the newspaper,' said one player. 'I love you all. But from a distance. My blood pressure can only take so much.' Players are turning to Discords and other online platforms as they hunt for like-minded fans to team up with. Elden Ring Nightreign hasn't even been out 24 hours, but this is proving to be a big hurdle for the community as they work their way through the game. Some Elden Ring fans are even saying they won't buy the game because they don't have any friends to play with. 'Yeah, as disappointing as it is, Imma have to pass on this game, purely because I don't have any friends to play it with and I can't play solo,' said Twinkie454. Others are calling on FromSoftware to rebalance the solo experience so it's more manageable. 'We'll see what FromSoft does to re-balance it, so maybe have some patience,' one person said. And, as you'd expect, some fans are offering to help others out. '.... Did we just become best friends?!' said one Elden Ring player. 'Get the game bestie, I'll see you tomorrow when I get off work!' Despite these issues, Elden Ring Nightreign has enjoyed a massive launch on Steam, with an incredible 313,593 peak concurrent users on Steam overnight. That was enough to make Elden Ring Nightreign one of the most-played games on Valve's platform. And it sounds like FromSoftware may add a duos option at some point in the future. In IGN's interview with Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki, the Nightreign lead developer discussed the choice to lean on solos and trios as the core experience options. When asked why there's no option for a pair of players to drop in together without a matchmade third player, Ishizaki said it was overlooked. "The simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we're very sorry about that," said Ishizaki.
