If you want to replay cases or do side missions from an earlier desk, you'll need to put those discs back in, but when just following the story, you don't need to put the earlier discs in once you've completed them.
An adaptation of an existing work never ruins the original work. It's still there for you to enjoy and love.
@LedRush: RDR streamlines GTA4's combat while keeping the mission structure almost identical. Unlike GTA, RDR features tons of things to do outside of the main story. If those were your grips with GTA4, then sure, try out RDR.
@starbuck13: Since I separate by platform, I couldn't do that. Forgotten Sands would probably go after 2008's Prince of Persia, while the previous two would be in order of release in their own platform.
@starbuck13: Of course, concessions must sometimes be made. Rock Band 1 and 2 go together, followed by The Beatles Rock Band and Lego Rock Band for 360. For PSP, Final Fantasy I and II are followed by Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I also ignore the "Tom Clancy's" prefix on the Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six games.
@bassrocker521: You win!

Though Red Dead Redemption actually came with a nice map and a manual with actual information about the game. But yes, that was the game that inspired this.
@PajamaSam: If anyone could solve the Riddle of how to make a good game out of it, these guys could.
@MrSnuffles: Because the hard drive isn't considered hardware, it's considered an accessory, and MS marks accessories up to make up for the hardware losses. It's the same reason why the wireless adaptor is $100.
@Alessar: The point is the journey and how you get to the end. The end doesn't validate or invalidate everything that came before it.
I remember one justification for the points system was that it allowed Microsoft to avoid credit card fees on tiny transactions (think Avatar items now).
They've been on sale for a while now. I have my registration confirmation from September 8th sitting right next to me. #paxeast2010
It kind of sucks that a major plot point like that is shown in the trailer. Mass Effect 2 did the same thing. Why is this happening more frequenly?
Was there any mention of a PC version?
@Wahrheit: I thought he was referring to the multiplayer, where Call of Duty pretty much reigns supreme these days.
@Zenrick3.0: Yeah, I mean, I really hate to be "that guy" but... come on.
I guess I was mistaken in my belief that Crecente started Kotaku? Who did, then?
This is why review scores should go away.
