Platinumed.
It was pretty easy via chapter select. Got all the missing battle trophies in the last encounters right before the end.
The only thing I wish they had were summary screens for the chapters so you know what documents/papers were missing for your quota.
Is that the Order theme that is $1.99?

That would have been really awesome. I hope we see more action similar to what you described in a sequel.

dual-wield revolvers would be insane.
Haha, very clever video. Like the way he ties in the Spider-man play through's to The Order, even the excelsior line at the end (the silver lining). And yea, this was definitely the first game that truly made me feel like I was genuinely in an old air ship or blimp. As in, a real, flying, living and breathing one.
Comparing it to the one from Bioshock Infinite for example, if you're in to these sorts of things, the sense of wonderment and immersion is really quite fantastic.
Warsaw
Lisbon
Damn. Lisbon looks incredible.

Yeah, it's the Whitechapel one.
I followed video instructions with the collectibles, but I had only missed a handful of them so it wasn't a big task. One of the phonographs was pretty sneakily inserted in the chapter 3, right after
the brothel.

A globe-trotting sequel, imagine it. Would be so cool.

Were there even Arc Gunners? I remember the guys with Thermite Rifles, but they were underutilized, they actually made you stay active and move from cover to cover

There's an
arc-grenade gunner at the bridge Ch8 or 9
Please tell me these exist in higher res.

Totally agree, and was also blown away by many of the game's locations... the Hospital was equally convincing, thick with atmosphere, very creepy. Meahwhile the airship was this exciting piece of alternate history technology you got to explore. They did a great job of taking you through the entire vehicle: balloon hull, inner support structure, cabin, staff space, guest spaces, dining, kitchen... it was all so believable. It just wish when the
thing blew up
instead of just waking up in the wreckage next to the destroyed Crystal Palace.
where you were fighting to hold on & stay protected, as the craft plummeted to the surface.

Indeed.The only thing I wish they had were summary screens for the chapters so you know what documents/papers were missing for your quota.
Can someone help me:
In chapter 4 fighting the half breed, the tutorial said i can pull several knive attacks if i fill the bar, but after trying several times i can never fill to use that option, i know you can pass this scene without that trick, but i tought it would be cool to use it, can someone help?
I'm from Warsaw, but got to admit, would play an Order game based in Lisbon :-D such an interesting location.
Honestly it was the complete opposite for me. The only time it really felt like I was in a blimp was during the segments where can see outside or when the explosions went off and the blimp swayed. Otherwise it felt like you were in a very fancy building/structure.

Ok I think the problem many people, including you guys have, is not looking at this from a cultural prospective. This is Victorian London, they are still very orthodox in terms of position etc. In addition Vampires haven't been seen in a very long time, accusing someone like hastings with an inordinate amount of clout out of the blue, with no proof of his actions was insane. Gallahad knew this. Even if someone spoke up in his defense, they could have been treated as a colluder, and risk their names being tarnished, and potentially their lives.
Also as to you saying why not test them with silver, based off what we saw in the game, "monsters" dont so much react from the silver, as their regenerative powers seem to be hindered by it. In fact the silver in some ways hurt his innocence, as when the Knights came to arrest Gallahad Hastings was still injured.

Lucian has been with the Order for a very long time (possibly multiple centuries) and had never given anyone any reason to doubt his loyalty. Lucian was also the Knight commander, so it's only stands to reason Gallahad went to his superior, just as his mentor Perceval had confided in Lucian. Lucian it seems had always been the one to be more accepting of out of the box ideas. Even though I suspected Lucian of wrongdoing, I never saw any reason why Perceval or Gallahad or anyone else would mistrust him.
He was seen to be conspiring with the rebels, they were likely trying to find out more information about them. It's probably the only thing that kept him alive that long.
Imagine fighting alongside someone ratonal for centuries, this man also protects the live of Lord Hastings from multiple attempts On his life. After Perceval dies however he completely seperate himself from you and your team. Starts going out killing guards and working with Rebels who have caused tremendous amounts of damage to both the order and London. This man then tries to kill Hastings in his own home, after having protected him for no apparent reason. Could this have been sorted by telling Igraine and Lafayette... maybe? The problem was, if he was wrong about something, or failed in his mission he risked both of their lives in addition to his own. If you can't understand why someone would shelter someone they cared for from the truth to protect them, then that's on you. I'm not saying it's the smartest choice, but it does make sense based on who his mentor was and his personality.
at first glance
that's all he seems to be worried about but why then didn't Galahad say anything about Hastings being a vampire and about Lucan and Hastings collusion? unless Galahad figured he was in on the whole thing ....then in that case he should of shot him! I don't know, maybe someone does.

I never figured it out either... or what the "bar" was that I was suppose to be trying to fill. I just did the standard, slash - dodge/slash - slash - dodge/slash - slash... until they were dead.

its just like the Black Sight mechanic, you use L1 when the info pops up or the bar is filled.
Galahad spoke out against his superior numerous times, doubt that was the reason. But yeah, it was probably to protect Isi and Lafayette. He could have told them, and they could have believed him, but then they would have been dragged into his mess. Only choice was to find proof for his claims without involving them, at least Lucian wouldn't have been in much trouble should he have failed to find proof. His motivations make sense at least.
But there had already been occasions throughout the game were Galahad had spoked against superiors? Why would he be so quite now all of a sudden.
There was also no need to protect Lef and Izy as they had no involvement in the attack on Hastings.

I think this is my new go-to triple A disappointment after AC3. Story, pacing, and design-wise, the game is an absolute mess. Sucks because there are glimmers of magic and great production values present throughout the game.
I think there was one. Maybe. But yeah, I liked how they forced you out of cover. Made those combat sections interesting
Looking at those art shots of various locations around the world... I really hope Sony can support RAD and get an Order sequel on the go. It could be such a fantastic franchise with a few tweaks to the formula and some improvements in gameplay. (Still haven't played it yet, buying in 2 days!). I love the world they've built and there's a ton of scope for this franchise. I hope they continue, now the groundwork's been done on the engine (where there's really not much left to do it appears), they can focus far more on creating more locations etc.
AHHH! Don't care what people say I love their vision from what I've seen and we need more of this!

Try Quadruple wield, turns out Galahad had the darkness in himself much like Jackie Estacado.
This is just some of the stuff that people wanted to see outside of just standard TPS mechanics. People always go "well what'd you expect!?"- more impressive setpieces, more control or affect on the situations playing out, multiple ways to approach the gameplay and finding out why some are better in certain places than others, etc.
Instead the game is very much on rails. It throws in empty side rooms you can walk in and look at, but there's nothing really in there worth going for. It also makes it very clear exactly where and when to go, in that you're basically in a tunnel or pipe, or hall the majority of the time. On rails sections can work, but there should've been more to it than just point and shoot, for instance the truck scene in UC2 (or horseback one in UC3). A lot of the transitions between moments in the game are cutscenes of you walking and talking... you could've done without that. Allow the characters to walk and talk, but you're in control, do some searching/exploring while the plot is laid out. TLOU had a slow burn opening starting with the tense moments as his daughter, or the parts with Joel walking around with Tess. It effectively gives you an idea of what has gone on, where they are, how to play the game, the different ways to play, etc. without having you sit there and pretending your playing (like the prologue where you very rarely play, and when you do it's some random button prompt, or walking awkwardly for 5-10 seconds).
I'm with you on wanting a sequel badly. As many have stated around here, it would probably a lot cheaper for a sequel, as I think the a decent amount of resources went into building the engine. Now that the engine is complete, they can re-use assets and focus more on other aspects of the game for the next entry.
There was an ad for it in the CE. I'm buying it day 1. I adore the art design of this game.

It holds the extra gear. In my case the steelbook's costumes and weapons.
Any release date? Definitely buying that
Yeah I saw that. Called the 'Blackwater Archives'. I'll definitely buy that when its released.

Reading all the story speculation posts has motivated me to start my 3rd playthrough.
I can count the narrative focused games that I've played more than twice on one hand.
The visuals, audio, shooting, and story are definitely putting this game up there with some of the best single player experiences I've ever had.

bought off craigslist for $45, beat it in a couple sittings, and traded into BB today for $44.80...sweet deal. Overall the game was alright.

I agree. It has flash moments of horror(going into the hospital) that it just flounders.
I think you(and I) were your own worst hype machines.

Big time. I was expecting Infamous SS like sales but I'm thinking it might pull in slightly less. Lack of end game content, and bad press really is a thorn in The Order's side
