To Lurgan1337, as you already finished the game, did you see Bobby Paige play any part in the story? It is just weird that I haven't heard any information about him since this game was leaked.

not at all. I might forget some small piece of dialog like "it's like that Paige boy!" but I don't think so.

Thanks for clarification. I was under impression that he would be one of major bosses in this game. Oh well...

 

[cerulily]

youtube has new videos that are full of spoilers. I was too scared to click...

Could i get a pm of the links as well ?

Search for Order 1886 in YT, sort by date.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Im liking all the positive impressions but last time I let first impressions get to me I got burned hopefully it dont happen this time.

 

[Elfstruck]

btw I liked the game very much. A new strong IP for Sony I hope

This is what I like to hear.

 

[cerulily]

Wow that ending. Very evocative, i like it.

The dialogue in this game is fantastically written.

 

[Branduil]

So not only is the ending

Spoiler

one giant QTE, it also has tutorial tips

...

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I'm surprised they didn't go the

Spoiler

Beyond Two Souls

route or some other more subtle fashion for the

Spoiler

movement based QTEs.

Good stuff though.

Glad I watched it.

Saved me 60 bucks. Weak as fuck

Sure because so many people in gaming are named

Spoiler

"Zelda"

Please...

It's a real name real life people have believe it or not.

 

[Betty]

beat the game today. sadly, its totally true. I said before you can select chekpoints from chapter selection menu - and in these chapters you can select different points of cutscenes. strange thing indeed

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Holy shit this game's ending and final boss fight are horrible.

Spoiler

"Not so different, you and I."

could you have picked a more Z-tier TV movie line?

 

[curlyfriski]

That ending...

Spoiler

lmao. That was the final boss fight?!

 

[Chubzdoomer]

This game is the definition of "all style, no substance."

 

[RefigeKru]

been watching some of the leaked videos

best graphics ever what the fuck

This is hilarious

 

[Pound_lb003]

Final boss and an awful lot of the writing is pretty bad from what I've seen. The performances are a redeeming factor, but I'd say only because they aren't the normal 'Hollywood' VO. Way more Downton Abbey.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Still don't understand this attitude. What makes a game replayable to people? Do people not rewatch movies or reread books either? You're going to replay it because it (theoretically) tells a compelling story with solid gunplay.

Non-linearity and freedom of choice, for starters.

I typically don't re-watch movies or re-read books because it's the same experience each and every time. The characters and situations never change.

With games, developers have the opportunity to deliver ever-changing experiences thanks to non-linear levels (with multiple routes and even hidden areas) as well as the freedom to approach things in almost any way you desire. Deus Ex is an obvious example of this, but there are many others as well. They don't necessarily have to be RPGs, either, as even oldschool shooters like Doom and Quake offered non-linear, highly replayable campaigns.

Based on everything I've seen and read, The Order: 1886 is little more than an interactive movie with some generic third-person shooter sequences strewn throughout. There is no exploration or discovery, and you're given little to no freedom in regards to how you tackle each situation. The story apparently doesn't branch off in different directions, either. The end result is a game with virtually no replay value, because after just one playthrough you've seen and done all that there is to see and do.

 

[MrxDemix]

This game is somehow even slower than I expected. The gunplay is snappier than what I played at PAX, but it's so uneventful so far. I'm 3.5 hours in.

Hoping for progression!!!!

Hope it gets more eventful for you soon. You only have 2 hours to go before it ends.

I thought someone said its 12 hours long.

Lol fairly sure that was just a subtle jab at the rumor.

 

[jailbird20022]

In before ground zeroes jokes.

told my friend the news, he's not thrilled about the 3 hour long story

Spoiler

yes he's canceling his pre-order

 

[Crossing Eden]

The ending really can't be that bad can it? Lots seem disappointed, i've only watched until

Spoiler

the first elder lycan scene, otherwise known as the e3 demo.

How far into the game is that?

Having no real interest in the game I watched it (it's pretty easy to find), and I'd put it up there with the ending of Halo 4 in terms of "what just happened". In terms of game design I'd say there is a lot of missed potential.

Spoiler

the person who uploaded it apparently clocked in at around 5 hours and 26 minutes to complete it though, cutscenes included.

 

[Oxirane]

I know nothing of this game but some discussion happened in the GiantBomb thread so I looked it up.

Below is a video I just made. SPOILERS

I get along with -MD- in RE threads but yeah....more and more it seems as if they're taking after Derrick where just jumping into threads about things they aren't interested isn't enough and have to bring in the people who are interested too. Don't see why either is necessary.

I haven't watched much of the game, but is the ending that off-putting in the context of the entire game (aka the events that lead up to it) or is it just people looking at it alone? Right now in saving judgement on the context leading up to it, the worst I can say is that it's anticlimactic.

Problem? I don't give a shit if someone enjoys it or not.

Lawd. So what's more accurate 5-6 or 10-12?

 

[SparkTR]

Lawd. So what's more accurate 5-6 or 10-12?

They also said the majority of that was cutscenes apparently, can anybody confirm this?

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

just saw the ending it was alright i guess

 

[Noobcraft]

The ESRB has their ratings breakdown online now, it has some minor spoilers but nothing major if anyone is interested. I like reading their write-ups sometimes lol, they make some games sound amazing.

...Firefights are accompanied by realistic gunfire, explosions, and splashes of red blood. Some explosives cause dismemberment; mutilated bodies, with exposed viscera, are also depicted...

 

[MrxDemix]

They also said the majority of that was cutscenes apparently, can anybody confirm this?

I'm now 4.2 hours in. The game has been 80%ish cutscene so far.

 

[medenko]

If this is really below 10hours, i'll pass then, wait to drop to like 30€ max.
Not worth full price IMO. And no replay value.

With cutscenes??

 

[Lakitu]

This is very disappointing. Hope the ratio starts to get a bit better.

At this point, after all the impressions and some footage, I think I'm going to give this one a pass. At one point, I wasn't going to buy this at all until some stuff definitely swayed me but I'm not seeing much incentive to go and pay £50 for this on day 1. I'll definitely check it out for £20-30.

That is super disappointing...

I would think it be playable scenes

Thank the powers for Nintendo lol.

What a shame. Truelly shocking.

Get that console bullshit out of here, regardless of general opinions on studio output. Plenty can be said without console war shit getting dragged in.

 

[-MD-]

I'm skimming that guy's playthrough on youtube. Chapters 6, 7, 12 & 13 are a combined 24 minutes of straight cutscene

Edit: chapter 10 is a 4 minute cutscene.

 

[JimiNutz]

Based on what im reading The Order is basically everything I don't want from gaming.

Yeah, just saw.

I'm watching footage of Chapter 11 now.

Spoiler

What gives with this trial and error stealth gameplay? As soon as you're seen, you die. It's not too bad though since the checkpoint system seems to be pretty damn good.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I'm skimming that guy's playthrough on youtube. Chapters 6, 7, 12 & 13 are a combined 24 minutes of straight cutscene

I was just looking at that myself. Chapter 6 has some gameplay... uh kind of.

Seems like there's 3 types of chapters, 5 minute cutscene only chapters, 20 minutes half&half chapters and 45 minute mostly gameplay chapters.

 

[Lakitu]

Edit: Wrong thread

That's cool. There are other people who will be more than happy to play it.

Well as you might expect

Spoiler

'fight' is another term for 'QTE'!
