The June issue of GI gave RDR a 9.75/10, thats a good sign it will be worth the wait.

9.75/10=best review score system ever.
 
Still, looking forward to this.

Awesome, this game has flown under my radar for almost the whole time, but I may actually pick it up based on people's excitement for it. It'll be a while though, I just NOW picked up Mass Effect 2.

good.

Why don't they just give it a percentage instead of going to 2dp on a scale of 10.

I'm so excited.

Let's see what Giant Bomb says.  That's the gaming opinion I respect most.

In the review, they mention two of my favorite games to describe RDR, Oblivion for its open world and Fable with how people treat you according to your actions. That really sold me on the game. I've read enough other stuff to know that this is a game for me.

Holding out hope that this game will be awesome.  The interactions with npcs based on reputation sounds intriguing.    
 
 GTA IV scored this high as well but was just awful.

Yeah but GTA 4 got numerous 10's

GTA IV wasn't awful. It was amazingly polished and was fun and had a good story. "

It wasn't all that. It got very repetitive at the end. I quit playing it because of the long missions with no save and heaven forbid you die and have to start the mission all over. The DLC took care of that part and from what I've read, RDR has mid mission saves. That helps with my biggest gripe about GTA IV, well, I didn't like the characters either in GTA IV. "

but you realize that THAT is why they mentioned both of those games.  To get the attention of the people that liked Fable 2 and Oblivion.  I'm not saying they did this with malicious intent or misrepresentation...  It's just good advertising on their part. "

Awesome, May 18 will be the best day of the month.

3 days left. Ive known this game would be great since I started following it a long time ago. 

GTA IV wasn't completely awful, but it sure lacked a lot of "fun factor" compared to the previous Grand theft auto games. It felt like a step down from San Andreas gameplay-wise and the multiplayer didn't work great either.
 
I hope they've made up for this, and added a lot of fun stuff to do, in between missions (NOT BOWLING) and made the multiplayer smooth.

Wow, great score, really looking forward to this one

Eeeeeeeeeeh Coooooousiiiin! I hear you like cowboys!....I feel justified

9.75 = 39 / 40  
Its amazing how stupid is to making a 1 to 40 scale and then disguising it as a 1 to 10 scale.  
 
Also im sick about hearing about this game.

Are you telling me GI rates games on a 1,000 point scale?!

Oh sure, but there again, I can see where they're coming from. When I read the review and saw those two games mentioned, I felt they were doing me a small service. If you liked these games for this reason, then you might like this one. I also think it shows the difference between RDR and a GTA game. "

I wanna be hyped for this game but I just don't like the wild west ; ; Hopefully those who do find a lot of enjoyment out of it. It sounds like it's going to be really good by all accounts.

I was going to buy it but that .25 points off of a 10 has me worried. I notice major game releases that get reviewed before they hit the market are almost always positive. Plus call me paranoid but how can we trust a magazine that gets a majority of its subscription base through Gamestop. 
Either way I preordered the game based on my love of Red Dead Revolver and Rockstar's track record with major game releases.

Let's see...the original was rated for just blood and violence...let's check ESRB.org.
 
WHOA! Yep, it's GTA in the west alright. Nope, not playing it. Too bad, it could be cool. Aw heck, I hate Rockstar's games anyway. Who am I kidding? I think they're overrated. A lot.
