''SJW''

Are you trolling?
''SJW''

No I actually thought the review was interesting as it's was saying something different.

3GB day one patch confirmed.
They're saying something different for the sake of clicks and to be the outliers. As @Bojan11 pointed out they generally underscore games that are highly rated by others. It's an agenda driven review, the most impartial review I've seen so far is from Gamespot, who recognise the negatives but also recognise how good it is is spite of a few flaws.
This is a very good review of the game right here: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2018/10/25/red-dead-redemption-2-the-kotaku-review
It's quite a long read, but very well written and talks in detail about the astonishing things the game gets right, while also acknowledging the (quite substantial, in some cases) things it gets wrong.

Because it's one of the best games ever. The world they created is one of the best ever made.
Couldn’t give two shits that some random unknown magazines/websites are slating RDR2. It’s going to be phenomenal.
Currently waiting for my fresh lasagne in a restaurant I used to go all the time with my grandparents, pint of Best, have taken some photos of lovely autumnal forests by the river Dee and plan on playing at midnight.
Today is a good day.

That's not much. I thought it was said to be over 100GB altogether. I've only downloaded 88GB so far.
Game reviews kinda fascinate me - so much gets "GOAT" contending scores it's actually made high scores irrelevant a bit for me. They've set the precedent though, so it's hard to scale the review scoring systems back a bit. An 8/10 for games is seen as shit generally being my point.
No doubt Rockstar have another super replayable game on their hands here though, will delve into it.

What do you actually do in multiplayer? What's the goal?
You can’t talk about not following orders.
Yeah, they fecked up the scale for reviewing. Really a 5 or 6 should be considered decent, but it's considered crap because they only really review on an 8, 9, 10 scale.
Ah so you are trolling
This game better be shit otherwise I'm going to be proper annoyed.
So many people do this for all things. I don't if it's because of critic reviews. There was a thread about the player ratings and a lot of people see 7 as average, whereas 7 for me is good because I use the full scale (like you should!).
Are you taking the piss ?
Rather than someone have criticism of a video game your excited for, you've instead come up with a conspiracy involving SJW/Women/Clickbait. Christ almighty your a grown up for feck sake.
Back to the rating system again
5 is starting point and depending on performance that number slides up or down.4hrs left, can’t wait, going to be some hootin tootin gun slinging going on partner, yeeeee haaaaa!!1

Absolutely!
What snacks are good to get in? I want Doritos but they're probably the worst for gaming
While I agree that all forms are a bit out of whack. It's massively out of whack for gaming.....probably because a lot of them go massively in on a point system where 0.0 to about 6.9 are generally pointless and all mean the absolute same thing = shite.
I genuinely will rarely give a perfect score to anything, if it's bloody perfect, why would you even bother with anything else after it pretty much. I'm a stickler on even giving out 9/10's for films. But for a game I'd feel the pressure to give that score more because otherwise it'll look I'm absolutely destroying an otherwise great game because I'm giving it 8/10 and not 9.6/10.
With a game it's a tough one. Do you rate it on where gaming is up to right now? Or save the perfect score for something even better? Because they're obviously going to improve far more than, well anything else really. I think the former is the only real way for gaming specifically. If that's the case I expect RDR2 to be a 10, although I still standby that it'll just do everything better than ever before, and not be revolutionary as some people kept saying a month or so ago. Everything points to that from what I've seen.
So are you and not only should you be capable of using your and you're correctly but you should realise that taking one review that calls it average and acting like it's law, even though all other reviews are full of praise, is childish and showing you have a bias against the game.
I never once mentioned SJW or women, but that site is quite clearly trying to create as much traffic as possible, as shown by their previous reviews of highly regarded games by being completely contraian.
Talking of acting like a grown up yet your last response was a fecking emoji.
Oh god what I've gotten into.
You literally mentioned a poster who quoted a tweet saying that the review ''ends in some fecking SJW rant'' and said ''If the lead was a female I’m sure they would have given it a 10.''
Again why can't someone have criticism of something your excited for without there being a alternative conspiracy.
Anyone?
Probably the same as GTA Online. Make money and piss around with mates.
F*ck the horses.
This was your original post.
Hitler said something different...but that doesn't mean it's good. That site's reviews of other games is very fluctuant to the point of being controversial for the sake of being controversial, not a whole lot of substance to it. The review put up earlier on kotaku.co.uk is very good. A balanced argument of good and bad points about the game delivered in a professional manner with small anecdotes about his playing time. From what I gather it's very slow-paced and the controls are clunky. The visuals and story itself are, unsurprisingly, highly praised.
Yeah not sure, bit like GTA 5 maybe? You can get a posse together and carry out missions online in exchange for money/items?
I have never played GTA. Only when Internet didn't exist.
I mentioned a very specific part of that post, listing the other highly rated games that site have conveniently given low scores to.
As far as I can see from your post history in this thread you seem to have some sort of agenda with the game, negative posts and then on embargo day you post the only negative review and put some snarky remark about it being shit.
All of this behaviour screams of an attention seeking troll.

Whatever, man. Different doesn't necessarily mean valuable/good.
At no point have you made a point for me to answer.
If we're taking critics opinions into this, why are you choosing to ignore the dozens of positive reviews, from established reviewers over a completely unknown website? Could it possibly be because you're trying to push an agenda?
I wouldn't say my reaction is particularly strong, I was just pointing out that at the release of any highly rated game there is always one or two sites or reviewers who decide to go against the grain and slate the game, I don't think it's a coincidence that the website you chose to cite have a history of doing this. Now taking that into consideration I wouldn't really say that's a huge conspiracy as you seem to be trying to claim. If anything I'd say of the two of us you have had the stronger reaction.
As for your final point, I can't possibly comment until I've played the game, but I can make an educated opinion based on multiple other opinions, which in this case would suggest the game is very good despite a slow start and some repetition.
Clunky controls? Rockstar? Never!
I bet Hitler wouldn't have any of that.
