I find it sad that in a time when so many games are getting released as broken games, bad dlc practices, and micro transactions; a solid game that seems to do everything right in that regard gets so much shit just for not being long enough, not even bad, just not long enough.

Haha this is a great idea.
How dare they ship this without a dedicated photomode?
We made it, guys. We made it to CG quality.

Sony PR in your country must rock, cause Sony of america didn't even send my site a review copy and our scores are posted on metacritic. Go figure. lol
Just finished it.
The story kicks into high gear at around chapter 10. Some great stuff from there on out.
Soundtrack is incredible.
Was a wild, fun ride. If the game was just a bit more open in terms of the encounter design and exploration fronts, it'd be so much better and probably get 9+ in reviews. There's very little experimentation for the encounters which sucked.
But still, it was a great ride.

Take it easy on posting screenshots until the game launches alright guys?
Can you export these via USB? Facebook compression does it no favours!

They are indeed very awesome. They were actually the first ones who gave me support for my blog. The other companies were harder to gain support from, but I got support from most of them in the end.
Reviewing games for my blog and making YT videos are just a part of my hobby, something I do in the spare time, so no job there.
Do we know if it is truelly a solid game yet? Some seem to think so. You are right. At least it works from beginning to end. I suppose that should be applauded in 2015

can we get all the people insisting and insisting and insisting the 5hr youtube walkthrough is going to represent the typical experience, back in here to write 100 lines of apology?
I'm in the progress of writing my review and I'd like to share a small opinion of mine. Feel free to disagree. Trying my best to not break embargo here, so don't expect too much details.
Anyway, I have an issue with "buyer guide" reviews. That is: reviews telling you if the game is worth your money and not whether the game is good or bad. This is a personal thing for sure. I mean... gaming isn't free. Not everyone has the privilege to buy several $60 games every month. So I understand it's important for some people to know the value of a game next to its quality. As a reviewer, I am privileged to try out games for free. So it's easier for me to judge a game on its quality and not its value/$.
That said, I don't like the comparisons people make when we talk about value. Game length is a hot topic right now regarding The Order 1886 and that makes me sad. Kinda. People keep comparing the game to other games. They're not wondering if the length is right for this game. They're wondering why it is shorter than other games. It's unacceptable etc. But that's not the question we should ask. The question should be: does the length work for this game? I'm not gonna answer this question because I can't... not yet... but it's something to think about.
If I buy a really good book for $15 which is somewhat short and then another book which is equally good but ten times longer, I won't be disappointed. They're the same price but they're both good in a different way. I don't view length as something that is so important to the experience. I'd rather read, watch or play something that is really tight yet short compared to a bloated mess that takes forever.
The Wolf of Wall Street is a personal favourite of mine and it's about three hours long. Do I like it more than other movies because of its length? No. In fact, some people think it's way too long. It's the same price as any other movie, but compared to games, it doesn't seem to be as important. Now, I know this is not a 100% fair comparison. A game is $60. Movies and books are way cheaper and less of an investment. It's easier to just focus on the quality here.
But the price doesn't influence the quality of a game, only its "value". Would The Order 1886 suddenly become better if it was $30? No. It would become an easier buy, I agree. But the game quality will not change. Nothing will change. Only your perception. So many people want game to be "art", but it seems there is still a big business side to things that people have issues with. Again, in my opinion people aren't criticizing the game length because they're wondering if it'll work for The Order 1886, but because other games are longer and more deserving of their money. Despite not having played the game. They're only going off a number.
Now, keep in mind everything I wrote here is about the game length. I did not say anything about the gameplay. Don't take this text of mine as proof I think the game is incredible or anything. I'm just saying I disagree with the length drama. Feel free to disagree with me, as this is but an opinion piece of mine.

Didn't both sides like Wolfenstein though? I agree its metacritic score deserver a higher number but I have a feeling this game will have more extreme opinions.

Genuinely curious as to why you keep opening and posting in the order threads, its obvious you have no interest in the game.

I'm going to pre-order this now, but holy shit this game is £49.99 on Amazon UK. Any cheaper deals?
Your loaf of bread would of been alot longer too had that "The Order mustache" not come along. Coincidence ?
I didn't find it funny, probably because I just read the subs with the sound off. I guess the laugh may be making it funny. The salty PC elitist bullshit in comments doesn't help either.

Where did you order from? I ordered off Amazon and my game just shipped like 10 mins ago.
I think it's too soon to start worrying, as long as it goes out before tomorrow morning you are probably OK
Mine is Amazon too.

Yeah I wouldn't worry yet, I've had stuff go out late on Wednesday for a Friday release. As long as it leaves their facility at some point today you should be OK.

I've been stuck in a courtyard for an hour or more (thank god for quick restarts) because I'm so shit at this - I am a little tired though- so I guess I'm going to be taking about 30 hours to finish this one by the time I've gawped and died and gawped and died...
It's worth getting if you like linear, single player games with a good story, loud guns and beautiful graphics (and I'm loving it so far, and I doubt that opinion will change, unless it does something incredibly stupid before the end) but the bigger question is whether you think it's worth paying full price for, just to get in on the early action.
