IGN is great when they give a high score to a game you are interested in, IGN is terrible when they give a low score to a game you are interested in.

I'm hoping we can get a bunch of people in a posse and do the same with 8 or so NPCs on the tracks.
I've heard rumors of no train in MP modes.

Probably, stinking rat bastard.
Seriously though, I don't think he is -- he got Mass Effect 2 early and I headed over to his place at the time to check it out and saw the box and everything.
Said he got his copy Friday night, what blows my mind even more is he finished it already. Must have skipped all the side stuff entirely.

Yeah that's a little freaky he must have been putting in the hours to complete it over the weekend. :lol
Can't say i'd enjoy rushing through the game like that.
Pretty interesting to see that legit early copies being sold hasn't apparently been an issue. All the places I was tipped off to said Friday, then on Friday they said Saturday, and then on Saturday they said Monday. :lol I'm going to give one close-ish place a call today, and if they don't have it I'm just going to go hit the midnight launch at my closest Gamestop.

It's not that mindblowing, word is that RDR takes 15 or so hours to beat.pahamrick said:
Swedish Gamereactor review 10/10
Summary
Rockstar haven't just made the best western game ever, but also an adult, well-written story that is engaging, touching and genre transcending. Red Dead Redemption is, in short, a masterpiece no one can afford to miss.
edit: Can I post the scans? This is a FREE swedish magazine we're talking about. I removed them for now.

Same. Might as well enjoy all the stuff in the game and take a look for any easter eggs.
Coin Return said:
Is that doing everything or just the story missions? I hope its just for the story missions. =/

I don't know if he meant to do it on purpose, he gave me a ring a lil while ago and the conversation went something like -
"Oh man! I just beat RDR! Awesome ending! *Proceeds to spoil the ending.* " "..Thanks a lot." "Oh, crap. My bad man."

^^ Pffft, sounds like a rental to me.
Oh and I'm not sure posting scans is a good idea around here my man.

There are apparently fewer story missions than GTAIV, but more side missions that you can go off and do. So if you're just intent on finishing the story and not much more, it probably isn't relatively long, but as any open-world game, end-times will vary wildly with everyone who plays.
A good portion may never even finish the game, content to mostly just run around and hunt animals or get in gunfights with bandits. A lot of it will also depend on how players choose to travel around - fast traveling all over the place will cut down on your playing time greatly, but it'll probably keep you from finding other distractions in the game world.

Story missions only, but this is just from one person. How long was GTA4's main story?pahamrick said:

chandoog said:No and No but it's nice to have some closure from reliable people since the opinions in this topic are varying so much.
I guess I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Still a bit weird to care so much about the res if you don't even own the console ...
I don't know about others, but I will probably get the 360 version. Maybe even both

How long have you been waiting to use that pic? :lol
Zeliard said:
A shorter campaign length is probably not a bad thing for me. I've never been able to bring myself to finish a GTA despite making it almost to the end a few times.
In comparison, I've finished both Saint's Row games. Don't know what that says about me.

keep the 10/10s coming.
i'm pretty sure IGN, Gametrailers etc will be handing out 9.5-10 scores too.
though for some reason i care very little lol, might not even bother to read any of the reviews. because i already know i will absolutely love this game.

It's fairly easy to simply power through R* games. That has been my experience, at least.

Pretty damn long as I recall, more than 15 hours.
Coin Return said:
No idea. I never finished GTA4, pretty sure it was 20-ish hours if you rushed though.
chandoog said:
Rushing through the story missions and skipping everything else? Has to be. I could probably spend hours on those sharp shooting challenges alone.
themadcowtipper said:
I'm pretty sure those challenges are part of the download for the outfit. There was a picture someone posted who had gotten the SE early, and it had a picture of the insert with the downloadable code and it mentioned the outfit and challenges.

Ok, main points from the 10/10 Gamereactor review:
- More than just GTA: Wild West
- In a way, reminds him of Oblivion in the way that there's something new and interesting around every corner
- Again, A LOT of stuff to do. Map is filled with icons at all times.
- Compares the combat favourably to Gears of War (cover system mainly), saying it's better than in any other Rockstar game
- Writer is a western fan and says Marston feels like a classic John Wayne-type hero
- As you gain fame, people will greet you on the street, removing their hat and so on. You also get challenged to duels the more famous you are
- Characters are amazing and very likeable
- "not just a western set, but western for real"
- Very nice variation in environments, examples: (environment spoilers) :
- To get money you can skin animals and sell the hides, catch bandits, search for hidden treasure (yay), herd cows and even pick flowers
- Finished the game after 30 hours but only did about 1/3 of the available side missions
