I'm absolutely trading it in and that's something I never do. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it, but it's not something I ever see myself going back to just to reexperience some things as nothing so far has stood out. I'll probably finish it up tonight and trade it in the morning.

Normal. I typically like a run and gun style in my TPS games and so I didn't want to get bogged down in being cover most of the time.

yea I'm spraying it and letting it cool off. Sucks since I got to the ballroom level.
Does it have enough room ?[/QUOTE]
Yea its in an open area, I learned from my mistakes last gen but this has me scared, I just got DOA5 too. Guess I'll keep that in its wrap until another time
Yup, a horde Mode would be fine. But the game would also need a few more enemy types

It seems that way but it's really not that much shorter than similar games. As I mentioned in another thread, my Uncharted 3 playthrough was only 7 hours 3 minutes the first time around.
I have no real interest in MP but that will definitely hurt for some.

I'm playing the game on hard and I enjoy what i have played so far. I don't know how anyone could give this game 4/10...

I'm playing it on Hard, and the enemy AIs are totally fine. It's nothing amazing but they do their job well. Only thing is they don't seem to react to nearby grenades.
Me neither..

I trust your opinion on a lot of titles so I'm following your impressions closely. Good to hear about the gunplay being tight.

I managed to complete the game in about 5 and half hours, that was while trying to pick up all artefacts. Review scores left me worried I would be disappointed but I'm not, while the game is short I did enjoy playing through the campaign and thought the story was quite good once it picked up as the pacing at the beginning was terrible.
Kinda funny. Most of gaf Seems to like it. Looking at Meta and seeing the 5.2 User Rating is really strange.
Nice, my CE was finally delivered, so it'll be waiting for me when I get home. Usually my wife will install any updates/dlc patches, etc, so it'll all set to go. Really looking forward to sinking my teeth into it for a bit tonight before bed, since I have OT tomorrow, I can't stay up too late tonight playing it.

User ratings are terrible, most people who rated it probably haven't played it.
They are almost always a mix of 1s and 10s.
The AI seems pretty good, as well. I've been surprise flanked far more times than I expected to be.
Heh that's not strange at all happen with very big release for every platform.

That and weren't branching QTE's originally mentioned as well? Where you could pass them multiple ways kind of like Heavy Rain.

Agree completely. The gunplay is fantastic in this game, some of the best I've played in the last few years.
I am keeping it, just like all my games though lol

Yea it's a little bewildering to me. Gunplay/combat and character movement all feel smooth as hell to me...

So far the gunplay is great. I really hope they get a sequel. Because I feel we will get an uncharted 1 to 2 jump. They have their engine. Now just build more game and fix some of the glaring issues that they feel this game has.

from the pickup point to the uber
Have played up to chapter... ten? I think? And here are my thoughts so far.
Things I like:
- The graphics are undeniably fantastic.
- The world and characters are engaging.
- The cutscenes certainly aren't boring.
- Shooting and cover mechanics are solid.
Things I don't like (nitpicks):
- The black bars are weird, but largely ignorable.
- There is a complete lack of character reflections, particularly noticeable in the starting building with a large puddle and two mirrors that reflect everything else. STORY SPOILERS:
- Gameplay so far has been very... FFXII-ish. Cutscene > Walking > Shooting Gallery > Repeat.
- The fun weapons are continuously taken away from you in lieu of the more standard guns. This is very annoying.
- I receive movement tutorials every few minutes, but I die 5-6 times before a tutorial for using your Blackwater pops up.
- Armoured guys (usually with Thermite Rifles) are all but terminators, absorbing way too many bullets for someone wearing standard chainmail and plate. Lycans are easier to down than these guys.
- QTEs that have buttom promts that make sense only sometimes (A melee/takedown in a QTE can be any button as opposed to just the melee button), but gun related QTE has you pressing the correct fire or alt-fire buttons. Admittedly lots of games do this.
- I have a lantern and therefore can no longer take cover.
- Your partners are useless and do nothing to attack enemies or draw enemy fire.
- Chapters can go buy without any gameplay.
I better end that there. I'd suggest a rental, as it's definitely not a replayable game unless you're keeping it to show off the PS4's graphics to people. Especially not worth the Next-Gen Tax in the UK.
If it had more gameplay variety it could have been great, but there's some minimal platforming and literal shooting galleries.
Hopefully a sequel is made and they can improve on what they have here.

I've now found out there are Vampires in the game, so unless Galahad is a vampire, this will remain a nitpicky flaw in my eyes.

The main problem is that, if everything related about the game lenght is right, there are too many cut-scenes, something that is not a reality with Uncharted games. Also, I love Uncharted games but finished all of them at least 2 times, but that's because they still have some replay value, I did one normal run and at least one another run to get the treasures and finishing it at crushing mode, what again, is not the case with The Order.
So, not really a problem if the game is 7~10 hours long and single player only, the problem is how was that executed and if you're probably gonna never touch it again after finishing it once. That is what makes it hard to justify the full price. Imo of course.

it could be i am not letting it fully install but then again I'm totally in the dark as to when that would be

Buy it.
I think that you would like it from what you want. Also, the game has a very cinematic presentation, thus it might fit you very much as a film student.
Oh boy, this would be hilarious.

Dying light if you care about bang for your buck. The order and evolve have both been criticized for charging more than they are worth

Oh yeah, for sure. I was just responding to the post that said it seems like people are finishing the game in a really short amount of time, but the total hours from start to end aren't far off the norm for a lot of these.
The value issue is definitely up for debate and will vary from person to person.
Good thing very few reviewers have actually made a complaint regarding that then.

Sorry to say, but this kind of artifact noise is generally related to GPU failure. Hopefully not that serious, but I would contact Sony to see what they say.I have no idea why its doing it.
Yes you are right. Still some games manage to get a good User rating, despite the bad "professional" ratings. Thougt it could be similar here.
I hope everyone and everything at Rad is doing fine. The game may have some flaws, sure, but I can see enough "Soul" and already hope for a sequel.
Same with Amazon reviews that's just how it is sadly.I would imagine very few of those users have actually played it. edit: beaten
Hahaha
Something tells me that I've stumbled onto something ^_^; Now I really can't wait to play.

Campaigns can easily be finished in a day. It's just The Order has no other modes for re-playability.

*looking at the review thread from another page*
90% saying the game is shit, 100% of this 90% did not play the game.
Yes, trolls everywhere.

I have task for GAF,
The free theme you get from the Website, the one called "Mayfair Theme",
I need to find the music track of that because is freaking majestic and I can't find it in the OST!
I've had the PS4 on for about 2 hours just listening to the music while studying.
Edit: bananafactory found it!
