There are chats for most Game Nights. Follow the link here in the initial post to the Game Night page, then go on to the Game Night Union page. There'll be a link there to the chat just before the game nights start (around 5pm PST on Wed).

It might be tough for them to fully critique it, since there are only a limited # of people playing it prior to its release (a small # of journalists).

Yeah, that's true. I guess it was more me just hoping for an in-depth look about the unlocks, leveling, modes, etc.

RDR needs a Sticky before it comes out.

It speaks for itself.

I'll be on this too.. I'm not sure which night I will play though.. I think I might want to get more accustomed to it before I jump online.. But I'll probably be in Free Roam at least.. I've been looking forward to this game for quite some time..

I agree I might get online a little after I get used to the game, I usually finish the game before I jump online.

So the New York Times has posted a review of the game, with no set score (so sorry for people who hate to read and base everything on a number haha). They stated that : 'One of the buzzwords in the game industry these days is immersion. Rockstar scoffs at that. Red Dead Redemption... does not merely immerse you in its fiction. Rather, it submerges you, grabbing you by the neck and forcing you down, down, down until you simply have no interest in coming up for air.' They also state that "for all of its technical achievement and gorgeous landscapes, Red Dead Redemption is perhaps most distinguished by the brilliant voice acting and pungent, pitch-perfect writing we have come to expect from Rockstar". GOTY definently. Somehow I always knew it would be.

Review embargo is up today, so we should see lots of scrumptious reviews to pour over soon.

Gotta go to work now, though.....:evil:

IGN REVIEW IS IN!!! 9.7! That's an amazing score for them. They State, " Red Dead Redemption is a must-play game. Rockstar has taken the Western to new heights and created one of the deepest, most fun, and most gorgeous games around. You can expect the occasional bug or visual hiccup, but you can also expect a fantastic game that offers the Western experience we've all been waiting for. Red Dead Redemption is a complete game in every sense -- both the single player and multiplayer modes are excellent -- and still manages to offer an attention to detail you rarely see from a game of this scope." I. Can't. Wait. Anymore.

Pre-ordered @ Toys R Us today and signed up as a Rewards member. Hopefully it will go through by tomorrow so I can receive the $25 gift card they are offering to Rewards members when they purchase it on release day.

Yeah, I was wondering this too. I think you should be able too, that would be a negative point in a review wouldn't it? Then you would have to do everything over again.

According to Wikipedia, San Andreas is 13.9 sq miles.

Rockstar have said that RDR is abouttwice the size of San Andreas(and 3x the size of GTAIV's Liberty City), so somewhere around 25 to 30 sq miles. Quite big, in other words.

Eurogamer rated it 8/10. A con for them was the fact the world map was way too big. Yeah its hard to take seriously but that tells you a lot.

Ok ok I have to take this off my mind. This game is alot more like Gun than Red Dead Revlolver. They could have just bought the franchise and called it GUN 2

I haven't anticipated a game release this much since Fallout 3 I hope it's better than I expect it.
