A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
I personally made the observation from a gameplay preference perspective.

Yeah, thats what I've seen too. Just wondering if it's that or it's being suggested because it's a bad implementation of aim assist.

Well down goes the Review thread. That was inevitable.
Do we have any new impressions since yesterday afternoon?

Welcome back, brethren.
No, not really.
I just realized what an easy ass platinum this game is.
You could literally platinum it on your first play through.

RIP The Order review thread # 1. Lasted 2 hrs 15 mins.
I must have missed it in the thread. I was active the first several pages, and didn't see it in any of the gameplay descriptions. Do you think it has drawbacks, or just a personal preference? I've played games where the auto-aim thought I was targeting someone in the background, and it actually pulled me off from what would have been an accurate headshot.

It didn't cause any problems. It's just what people who experimented with the settings seemed to think as ideal.

Hey, what are your final impressions after some time after beating it? I know your opinion of the story changed a bit, what do you think of the game overall now?

Lol, that review thread started going somewhere too. The second after I said we had a thread close last year over the same situation (one or two early reviews a few days before embargo).
As for aim assist, while I'm not sure how it works in The Order, it can be both a boon and a pain in Destiny. Good when targeting a single enemy, but if they start passing in front of each other or grouping up it throws the whole thing off.
I'll probably have it off. Still find it weird that camera bias isn't on by default.

Your PSN will be fine, but Twitch will shut you down.
Streaming is allowed starting on release day.

I just felt it took too much control away from me in what is already a pretty simple TPS.
It's a matter of feeling like you're actually wrestling these big guns and being outnumbered, as opposed to another Rambo power trip experience.

Are there trophies based on difficulty? Do I need to beat it on hard for the plat?
Ah, I can completely relate to that. Thanks for the follow-up.
I know I'm willing to spend more money on games than other things because it's a hobby I enjoy supporting. Kind of surprised that doesn't seem to be the prevailing position on GAF.
Yep I dont like any type of assist.

I'm disappointed to hear the game is on the short side. Hopefully my playthrough is closer to 10 hours, if not more.
Its disappointing primarily because the rest of the game sounds ace and waiting on a potential sequel is way too far off.

Not even the game's review thread lasted long.
You'd think the PS4/PSN would have something in place to block certain games from streaming on the console yeah? it seems weird that if you got a game early and use the built in streaming services provided by the PS4, you get in trouble? bleh...
I use aim assist with gamepads. I have no intention of turning it off.

Maybe I'm just a rich privileged person, but I enjoy supporting devs that I see potential in. If others don't roll that way, it's fine, but it does seem like you would expect enthusiasts to have a slightly different mentality.

I will say, the fact that photo mode is coming after launch will be a great excuse to play through the game a 2nd time

Huge missed opportunity on the story.
I was nervous about it, honestly. Too many games have had great promise with the story and once I get through them I end up feeling cheated. I was hoping with this it wouldn't be another Heavenly Sword scenario. But for all the secrecy they had, and those promising Dev diaries... It let me down.
They didn't have enough time, evidently. The plot strands, story elements, characters, they all feel cobbled together and unsubstantiated.

Sidestepping the implied insult, for me it depends on the game and how it feels. There are many types of aim assist, some more obnoxious than others. To give one example Halo (or Destiny) on a controller wouldn't be as fun without it's implementation of aim assist.
Aim assist off, and crank the difficulty to the hardest, this way you'll get at the very least 10 hours out of the game.
And if that's not enough, play with one hand tied behind your back, or play with your feet.
just joking guys, I hope you all enjoy the game. As for me I'll be waiting till it's $15 or lower
For a game that has such straight forward bare bones gameplay this is unacceptable. Definitely disappointing and warrants a no purchase decision.
And I had just finished a GIF for the thread too, might as well post it here now.

It's still a tremendous effort though. It's a flawed gem.
I'm a sucker tight art direction, and this ranks right up there with Deus Ex:HR, Killzone 2 and PoP2008.

I will say, that after playing through it a second time, the gunplay is nice and meaty, and even more satisfying now that i have experience. I've been experimenting with Galahad's melees; throwing smoke bombs and running up and wrecking shit. I've seen some brutal shit that I never saw during the first playthrough.
I don't have a problem with the characters either; they're quite engaging I thought. The problem is some of them need more fleshing out; more backstory would have been welcomed. There was a bit that I missed first time through; there are little hints here and there that give away possible motivations behind certain characters.

I didn't realize the GAF length discussion (and other sites') had made mention into Kotaku: http://bit.ly/19tIf5o

You'll be playing this in about 3 years. The evil within was cheap pretty fast and never got below 29.99
