The Order 1886 | Impressions Thread of not shooting the messenger.

Well, these kind of stuff are design choices. Not one I agree with, (prefer seamless), but it's not like they couldn't do seamless, they clearly made a different decision.

Yeah I understand that but it breaks illusion for me. It feels like a cutscene many time

Oh no what have I done. Let me tell that I actually liked tomb raider a lot

Shadow_FFVI said:
I don't know how to interpret that...

Which Tombraider game are we talking about here?



Too late, Viveks.

Tomb raider reboot
 
I have a feeling that this may be a game my girlfriend likes to watch me play. Dynamic camera angles, cut scenes & gorgeous graphics sounds a bit like the recipe for Uncharted.

NPCs are greatly detailed as well but not as great as the main characters and at some moments you would see and feel the difference and it may look like out of scene....

The more there are on screen, the less detailed they are. It did feel weird in that particular part:
the first more or less stealth part with the crowd gathered around the hanged queen dummy

This is for People who are on fence that whether they should buy or not.

Do you like uncharted 2 without co-op and multiplayerand would have payed full price for it ?

Did you liked max payne 2 even tough it was very short and paid full price for it ?

If answer is yes then buy it else wait for price drop.
 
Surprised (and a little disappointed) that the one thing other than graphics that they sold so hard - the story has not passed the GAF test. Looks like Ru needs to prepare himself for a reality check

But also pleasantly surprised that gameplay has been given a pass for the most part by people who have played it.

Best Buy CE shipped; I wish I would know if I needed to use free or expedited shipping in order to get games release day. Thankfully, picking free this time worked out. :)

I'm weird because I never actually played the multiplayer for UC2 (well I played like two matches). And I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

I seriously wanted more gameplay sessions. Shooting is very very fun is a shame they don't have more of them. I would pay money for dlc which I never do for horde morde or co-op mode seperate like u2. Heck just give me time trial mode or score mode like RE mercenary mode
 
Is there anyone buying the Limited Edition just for the behind the scenes stuff? I'm conflicted because it's more expensive, of course, but I don't know whether it's worth it if it's some 5 minute video that could've been released on youtube.

There's a bunch of behind the scenes vids for the game on Youtube already, I imagine it's probably the same stuff.

Yes this! The shooting was really well done and I wanted more time with it.
 
Fucking game. Its like I'm playing in cg. There was a time where i didn't know i have control already after a cutscene. Just found out when someone said "Galahad let's go already". lol

The transition is seamless. Its ridiculous.

18. Februar 2015 um 18:14Hey DarthDiggler. Thank you for that comment. For us it is more important to stay independent from everybody and write stuff we honestly mean than to build good relationships with publishers.​
 
Also, fuck it, I have a bunch of other small questions, so i'll just leave them here;

I'm curious about whats available in the game options:
How are the HUD options (can HUD elements be turned off independently?)
I doubt this is an option, but any film grain or other visual sliders?
Are there individual audio slider options? After Wolfensteins rough audio mixing I would really appreciate this.

What sort of extras are in the game?
Any alt costumes? Concept art? Documentaries (Like God of War of Naughty Dog games)

And finally are there collectibles that have story significance (Like Last of Us notes) Or Ubisoft style pointless collectibles.
 
The Order 1886 |OT| #This is for the watchers.

It's lame I know :P

But honestly, I'm surprised to see all the positive reviews this game is getting so far, considering the mixed impressions on NeoGAF :)
