Red Dead Redemption 2 Review Thread

[ASaiyan]

It's Rockstar. We don't need reviews to know the quality. Hell, according to them we don't even need detailed gameplay or information before buying their products anymore, lol.

 

[daiquiri]

I'm going for 94 Metacritic hombres

 

[Couscous]

gonna be right up there with BOTW in terms of review scores. the industry has a hard on for R*

Yeah, I have a feeling that big studios like Rockstar and Nintendo and long running franchises like GTA, Mario and Zelda get passes where other games wouldn't.

 

[Ricelord]

95

 

[KLoWn]

90+.

And I'm not even that hyped for the game.

 

[Necron]

Who are the people that voted below 70...

(I just needed an excuse to post this.)

 

[TheCrackedJack]

If God of War is a 94, then this should be a 95-96 IMO.

 

[xxracerxx]

This poll didn't need two 70 options.

 

[passing breeze]

mid 90s with some more measured/dissenting opinions in unscored reviews.

 

[Xumbrega]

97 mc incoming

 

[Askherserenity]

96 MC

 

[Ruruja]

87.

 

[megathemiis]

Predicting a 98.

Bold

 

[The Cellar Letters]

High 90's brought down a bit by a Jim Sterling 7.

 

[BashNasty]

Once all the dust settles I predict it'll be sitting at a 95.

Yeah, if it were called Blue Alive Downfall 2 and made by Popstar South it'd get the scores it actually deserves.

 

[Amnixia]

I think this will get a 94-96 MC/OC score.

 

[Black Chamber]

98 Metacritic.

 

[DaeJim]

83

 

[passing breeze]

I feel like all the big AAA releases have had hugely inflated scores this year. I'm not sure what's causing it, so I'm going to go with 92.

Click to shrink...

What's causing it is certain big sites no longer scoring their reviews.

 

[Moose]

Going with a 96.

 

[mjc]

93

 

[asd202]

Oh yeah this is what I was waiting for tomorrow will be great :).

 

[rodrigorn_]

Game of the Generation?

After the first 10 minutes of the game playing as Morgan, you are forced to play as a Squirrel and spend the entire 60 hours collecting nuts. Was a HUGE deceptive marketing campaign by Rockstar. Still sells 50 million units.

Spoiler

MC95 - I don't think non nintendo games can break the 95+ score in this day and age

I like the creativity of your made up names. ;)

 

[CrazyAndy]

Guessing 96.

 

[Big G]

I'll say 96.

 

[Sloane]

Would be very surprised if this ended up sub 97 MC.

Zelda fans not wanting RDR2 to the the lead in the GOTG race.

 

[cappers]

Guessing 92 and a score of 9 in the edge.

 

[Patitoloco]

This is a clear 93

 

[SoundCheck]

93 MC

 

[Smurf]

Guessing a 94

will check some scores but not the reviews, want to go in as blind as I can

 

[darkside]

85

Just a feeling.

Dammit. Now I've been spoiled that the game is actually Nut Glut Collection

I like the creativity of your made up names. ;)

Thanks!

...I was being sarcastic by the way lol. I generally don't agree with the "Legend of Belda" argument.

 

[Azzanadra]

94 MC, reviews will say the world will be amazing as will the technology behind it- however the story will be disappointing but well written overall, and the gunplay will leave a lot to be desired in comparison to other popular TPS games.

 

[Deleted member 18161]

98 MC. Game of the generation.

 

[Empress of ice cream]

Guessing 92 and a score of 9 in the edge.

Edge is a 10. I've been reading this magazine for more than a decade and I don't think I've ever read them cream themselves this hard over a preview.

 

[DisturbedSwan]

MC 99.

 

[DMVfan123]

97-98 MC
LOCK IT IN

 

[Blade Wolf]

85

Just a feeling.

850

Just a thrilling.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

The defining game of the generation and Rockstar's crowning achievement. 97 MC, 98 for a while.

 

[PlayerOne]

97-98, gonna be legendary.

 

[Reinhard]

I'm thinking 93-94 range . Not a chance it will be below 90 with the Rockstar hype inflation.. We already know the graphics are amazing, it's just a matter of how good the story/game play are.

 

[BornRZA]

Going off previews, 97 MC.

 

[JigglesBunny]

94 or 97 MC, book it.

 

[More_Badass]

I feel like all the big AAA releases have had hugely inflated scores this year. I'm not sure what's causing it, so I'm going to go with 92.

Click to shrink...

Like which? The only ones in the 90s are Monster Hunter World, God of War, and Forza Horizon 4. Spiderman, BOP 4, AC Odyssey, and Destiny Forsaken are in the high 80s, everything else is lower
