If you want to go cinematic you go the route of TLOU and do it properly

 

[Pop]

Going to give it a chance, but yikes. A "no" from kotaku? Pretty disappointed right now.

If Bloodborne is a flop I think I'll cry.

What do reviews have to do with a game being a flop? It's just another person opinion.

Let's not forget about how MCC got scored...reviewers aren't consistent

 

[Yoday]

Reviews are going exactly as expected. The game sounds exactly like I thought it was going to turn out, And I am perfectly fine with that. I can't wait to play on Friday. Yet another game that has reinforced my feeling on the complete uselessness of reviews in the modern age of gaming.

 

[Kacho]

The fact that people legitimately thought this was going to be a great game boggles the mind.

To each their own. This game looked awful based on everything I saw. Not the least bit surprised.

 

[Derp]

Waiting for the review from Biogamergirl

This is all that matters.

5,5 from Polygon:

[codhand]

Reviews are polarized, half are bads (5-6) Half are goods (7-8).

joke post?

 

[frizby]

Was always a rental folks.

Sorry to those who were hoping for more and disgusted by those who are celebrating.

Jim Sterling's Review

"Fantastic teaser… can’t wait for the actual game to come out."

6.5/10

Lol, 6.5 seems kind of high for such negativity o_o

 

[MJLord]

Looking at the content of some of the reviews, the story pacing even comes under fire. From what I'm reading, it sounds like it was written as a standard 90 minute/2 hour film and then stretched out thin.

Yeah I'm seeing that in places too. The setting intrigues me, if I can get it cheaper in a year or so then I'll be okay with that.

 

[Gusto]

What the hell is a gamepur

Yeah why post any of these reviews? Why not just the big boys, they're the ones that have calloused from Internet bullying. Unless some you guys are secretly trying to give yourselves hits.

 

[x24hrs2livex]

8.5 from dualshockers

 

[Amentallica]

When games like AC Unity score what they score despite major issues, you know that many of these reviews are unnecessarily critical when they decide to be.

 

[Spineker]

I should really learn to stop digitally pre-ordering games.

Absolutely agreed. Apart from Persona 5, which is a lock for being a great game anyway, I'm done preordering. This was my teaspoon of reality.

 

[Sid]

Bubu Uncharted 1

 

[kamandi]

My feelings exactly.

 

[meanspartan]

IGN review brings up how the letterboxing makes it hard to see over cover. Never even considered that lol.

 

[zeromcd73]

Wow, i really think that reviewers have a thing against Sony Exclusives. Does this game really deserve to get a 4/10? when other games gets a pass? Like sites know about the hype and then give it an awful score. I have not played it but 4/10 is a pretty terrible score when most games lay around 60-70. I seriously doubt that its that bad.

lol. Bloodborne will do amazingly well.

Based Miyazaki-sama.

 

[darkwing]

So, I hear the Vita still needs developers.

I love my Vita

Please don't die RAD

 

[BlackJace]

Jim firing

 

[spekkeh]

It's a shame, from the reviews it sounds like an interesting story. I can't justify full price on something where I'm going to be pressing quicktime event prompts for a majority of the game though. I'll probably get this later down the line.

Haha perfect gif.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Cancelled my pre-order on Monday. Will pick it up cheap later this year. I hate that it turned out this way though.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Meh, still getting it through GCU with a $10 rewards ticket that expires on the 21st. $38 game here I come lol

 

[WITHE1982]

Seems like this game is more "Out Of Order"

Spoiler

Still gonna buy it tomorrow though.

 

[Fury451]

The Escapist Review

Yeah, I was hoping "disappointing" and "missed potential" weren't going to be commonly used descriptors

Ah well. Hopefully they get a chance at a sequel for expansion of what works well.

Also the reviews are kind of all over the place. To be expected with this type of experience I suppose

 

[Luke_Wal]

I would be interested in hearing what separates this game from Uncharted in the minds of reviewers. Like, not that I don't believe the game isn't great, but a lot of these criticisms sound a lot like something I could levy towards Uncharted. I'd be curious to hear what people feel like the difference is, or what line between the two The Order crossed that made it take a trip to suck town.

 

[Bricky]

Metascore as of now

 

[Stereogatari]

The Order 18/86.

 

[Amentallica]

There's no conspiracy man.

I didn't say there was one? I'm saying there's no integrity.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Sony needs to reevaluate how they greenlight games.

Greenlighting based on review predictions that would be a first. Company is there to make money, they'll look at sales.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Feels bad for the people at Ready at Dawn They obviously worked really hard.

they worked hard on the wrong things purposefully. no need to feel bad for them at all

 

[Impeccable]

When games like AC Unity score what they score despite major issues, you know that many of these reviews are unnecessarily critical when they decide to be.

That is my only qualm, have no problem with the score themselves just not sure how they are all held against each other.


Look forward to this game when it is cheap which is bumped up from not caring.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

I'm mostly disappointed the story isn't a strong point. Will still check out the game when i get a chance.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Pachter 5-10 million lol

Poor reviews haven't stopped other games. Look at Drive Club - if they bundle it, it will sell in huge numbers,

 

[StriKeVillain]

How are we standing with the bingo board? Or was that banned?

 

[excaliburps]

Our (PlayStation LifeStyle) review: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net...6-review-interactive-19th-century-cinema-ps4/

8/10 -- a score it definitely deserves. Most people won't like it since it doesn't have any online component, or any social features and is not a sandbox game. But it's fine by me. Narrative-driven, with amazing audio/visual work? Yep, it's The Order.

Bottom line is: reviews will be super polarized depending no who reviewed it. If they're a fan of games like Heavy Rain, go pick it up. If not, then don't bother. It won't change your mind.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Santa Monica better reads the reviews VERY CAREFULLY.

God Of War 5 CANNOT GO THIS WAY.

 

[Dark_castle]

What does Biogamergirl say though?

 

[Alienous]

I say Guerilla Cambridge deserves their shot before RAD gets another one.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

And so concludes the eighteen minutes of my life I spent in a The Order thread.

 

[Betty]

The story was boring, it ended too quickly, the climax was underwhelming and the characters were dull.

The gamplay critique's could've been ignored if the plot lived up to any sort of interesting tale, but it just didn't.

The scores are a total non surprise.

 

[SaitoH]

I preorder the game for $40 almost two years ago. At worst, given the length of the game, I'll likely finish it this weekend and can trade it back for $35.

It's a shame, I love the characters, the style and the world. RAD made an amazing portable GoW game; I had a high hopes.

 

[Uiki]

Chalkboard time.

6.5/10

Ooh.. that quote burns.

 

[BuBBeR]

Very expensive demo/tech demo indeed.

 

[sam777]

What about all those people on GAF taking over 12 hours to finish the game.

 

[PBY]

I didn't say there was one? I'm saying there's no integrity.

Lol same shit.

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Another lackluster AAA title. Neat.
Sounds like a two day rental from Redbox, thanks for saving me $58 RAD!
