GotDAMN this thread has jumped the shark one day before the game even releases.

From the the Gamespot review... "Early investigations are very limited"
That makes me hopeful that there is more variety in later investigations.

Yeah just get what version you want, knowing 2 of the biggest respected game sites says PS3 version is better and u are still on the fence, I think that answered your question you always wanted the 360 version and should buy it. I prefer gaming on 360,but I rather have the better version, 1 disc, extra content, plus I have much more 360 games so space is getting limited on 250 HD. PS3 version all the way for me.

Any reviews that mention the differences between the two versions?

I would avoid the gametrailers video if you are at work, some nudity in there.

Its not warfare to ask which platform is going to offer up the most polished experience. Based upon the reviews and this thread it looks like PS3 version for me, once this goes on sale. Its far too linear and lacks replayability for a day one perch.Dabanton said:

Im pretty excited for this, this is the first time ive ever not watched almost anything on purpose for a game. The only thing ive seen was the gameplay reveal. I hope I dont get spoiled between now and tomorrow somehow.

Transgender, I was thrown when I saw the video review too.MBison said:
Reading the comments on youtube about it are sickening though.

Damn. The GameStop in my town isn't doing a midnight launch, but the Best Buy across town is.
God FUCK YOU IGN, and your spoilerific reviews.
Now I know what what time in the game to expect a big twist. And I know how many cases, and I know what you mainly will be spending all of your time doing. They give away so much shit that doesn't speak to how good the game is. God why do they do that shit, it serves no purpose. They dont need to be specific about what time they saw a big twist, or even mention that it had a big twist. Im done with reading reviews.

I haven't seen anything that lends itself to replayability. The open world isn't used as a sandbox, cases are linear and you replay them for score, and all there is to the game is case work, with some car collection and finding newspapers. If there's more to it I'd love to know, but it looks like this is a story focused game/interactive movie - the kind of thing that truly satisfies on the first (and probably only) playthrough. For some people that's exactly what they're craving, but not for me, not day one at premium prices, no.Lothars said:
Seriously? There is a lot of gameplay in there on top of the cinematic stuff. Many of the scenes are interactive as well, which is not something you could have accomplished with a film.Tylahedras said:
Besides, how many movies last 20 hours? As a game, the developers can take their time in regards to fleshing out the world and drawing the players in. It's not just about the story but everything you do while experiencing it.

Read a few of these reviews... super-hyped. The scores fell where I figured they'd fall, and I pretty much was suspecting some of these cons, but it sounds great regardless.

Totilo encounters a moment in replaying the case for the video that didn't occur the first time, and that he didn't expect! Awesome. He also does a great job of showcasing the game mechanics and not spoiling anything (except maybe locations).

Anyone know if you can take off your hat whenever you want? I was curious about that.

Completely agree. I was quickly reminded of what a good ending looks like when I beat Portal 2 recently.BeeDog said:

Why you guys think that gamespot didn't review the 360 version? Does that suggest its score will be different? Meaning its likely to be lower?

I was on the fence, but Brad Shoemaker's review, and Stephen Tortillo's video run down have swung me. Preordered, now to finish RDR before Friday.
And with that, I'll be ducking out of this clusterfuck of a thread.

new game gets mixed reviews from good to great... that's usually a buy for me. not liking the sound of how the interrogations work though. still up in the air trying to figure out whether or not to snatch this tomorrow. pre-order bonuses you taunt me so.
