Yup it would actually be a disappointment and a letdown given RS's high reputation with such games.

I'm 95% sure that this will be GotY. I can't remember the last time that I was this excited for a game.
Ok time to preorder, do i go with amazon or??
Not really into silly preorder bonus crap but it seems to be a trend. And the 20$ gc from amazon looks to be the best for me.
Don't see a review on IGN where did that come from?

I've not played Call of Juarez, but from what I've read it's more action-oriented than GTA.
It's just anticipation, plus Rockstar's track record. Rockstar really hasn't made a bad game. Sure GTA4 was annoying in hindsight, but it was still better than most other games, a great way to waste time. RDR is an open-world game, which pretty much always rock, with what looks to be like great graphics. Time will tell if areas repeat, which is the main thing holding Just Cause 2 back from greatness.
If GTA4 didn't have that friendship system built in, it would've been a much better game. They put too much stuff in. Those branching choices didn't really have much of an impact. . .or as much as it should have.
The thing I really like is that Rockstar keeps taking elements of their previous games and adding and modifying them to make new games. It's like what you get with Tomb Raider games, but across a wider spectrum of games. This fame and honor system sounds like what they wanted the friendship system in GTA4 to be. They wanted your choices to have a lasting impact on the game, but all it really did was limited the choice of missions you have. You could either be friends with Playboy X or Dwayne, what's the difference?? Not much. So, they changed that this time to have different characters respond to you in different ways, to truly increase replayability and lasting value. And we didn't have to wait until GTA5 to see it.
Of course, that's all on paper, how gameplay actually turns out, we will see. I do notice that usually all these little gripes are glossed over in the gaming media before hand. Nowadays, everybody loves to moan about how lame GTA4 was, but 2 years ago everybody was talking about how it was the greatest game ever. Right now, every gaming site is slobbering on this game's johnson with no complaints. We shall see. . .

Found out both my headsets are broken, so I can't talk online until I get a new one. 
I just ordered the Venom Headset, as it looks pretty good.
Just hope it turns up in time for Red Dead.

I'm hoping to finish up the last 3 chapters of Uncharted 2 so I can clear my gaming schedule by Tuesday! I'm thinking this is the first release that I've actually been pumped for (besides COD MW2).
And speaking of headsets, I just picked up a Turtle Beach PX21 so I'm ready to go! I can't imagine gaming without a headset. I've got a X1 for the 360, but it doesn't work on the PS3. The PX21 works for both systems. Hell, I may even be selling my X1 if anyone is interested.

Fines, I think, but I have yet to hear of any store being charged for breaking a street date. More than likely the game publisher will blacklist the retail chain and not release any exclusives/promotions for that particular store for future game releases.
I have heard of gamers losing their access to online services like Xbox Live and the PS Network for breaking a street date, however. A friend who manages a retail gaming store told me that he always disconnects from the network if he decides to bring a game home and try it out before the street date, just in case.
