It's a glaring omission, but I would be surprised if it wasn't patched in.
I like how they cough etc when you hit them with the fuel.

Since you're past that,
they also reference the bad blood between Tesla and Edison (Edison sending a Tesla a note that says "may the best man win" in a sarcastical manner - Edison was an ass who electrocuted animals alive).
There are other Edison references afterwards, but I'll let you find them on your own 
Definitely.

If you get shot with it, you also cough a lot, and Grayson says "damn thermite". EDIT: Also being close to the ignited thermite makes the character kind of do a pain reaction. Don't know how to describe it better though!

It's happened to me. I thought it was my earbuds but I think it might be an issue with the DS4. It's happened in Driveclub for me as well.

Just finished it. Visually it's astounding. The pace feels a bit wonky in parts and I would have liked it to be longer, probably took me 7-8 hours. Overall I enjoyed the game and the story.
But they would be great if the meta was 80+?

Omg the real boss was
I liked it apart from a few things.
The ending definitely
that damn room with like 50 guards
I liked it apart from a few things.
The ending definitely
made the game feel short. It is definitely sequalized. Lord Hastings is the real bad guy, and if he was actually killed at the end of this game, at whatever length it was, it wouldn't feel short.

It's happening even without the DS4 for me.
It's definitely not the game. It's also happening in the XMB.
As of now, that is probably where I would place it if I gave a shit about numbers.
Yeah I don't mind it just for the fact of having a variety in my gaming life. as far as value...I can see that being the reason reviews knocked it down.
Something like the last of us had a better way of doing things.

No issues man, is it a digital download or disc?
Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Wow that ending. -_- I definitely agree with the reviews on this one,
It's unbelievably handholdy(yes, I know how to lockpick, this is the sixth goddamn time), gunplay is most definitely not as good as gears of war or TLOU, it's competent but nothing special, especially considering that the enemies are so repetitive. I agree with the metacritic score, 6.5/10, above average game that feels like a huge missed opportunity because the premise was really unique and the setting is not something we see often in games. There's also the tons of cutscenes for every nearly every single menial action. Ugh, disappointed. Will trade in on Monday, i'll stick to Bloodborne for my werewolf victorian london hunting pleasure,
. Excited for the honeymoon period to end for most gamers who bought this on release. Also developers need to learn how to introduce their world properly, this game has a terrible and cliched use of in media res style storytelling.
literally ends just as the story is getting good with a sequel baiting cliffhanger, so many fights against generic brain dead human enemies and identical lycan fights, including a really shameful reuse for the final boss, random as hell integration of vampires for god knows what reason. Tons of things are unresolved at the end.
and AC Victory for my historical tourism with an accurately populated London.

It's pretty much if Gears of War and a Quantic Dream game had a baby. I'm good with that.
The disc version. I'm going to try and clean it after I get to a save point.

13/78 currently online friends are playing it. Go, the Order, go!
Driveclubs JUST came out so I wouldn't expect The Order any time soon.. though Destiny's was out pretty quick

I already posted this in the review thread, but I figure that I may as well get opinions from both sides. I'm really interested in the game, but I'm curious as to how much exploration or downtime there is in the game. I find myself craving that these days, and this game seems like it could be a good source of that.
Surprise! Surprise!
Yo the graphics are crazy. I don't even think any PC games look this good and complete.
Does anybody notice the frame rate goes over 30fps or am I imagining things?
Thanks. Now to abort thread for the night. See y'all when I'm done. I'll just load up Killzone for the gun and bass boost.

I would actually describe this as Quantic Dream-like but with shooting instead of choices. That's not a negative, I love those games and I absolutely loved this game. I think people were expecting the next evolution in TPS but it's obvious RAD were never going for that.
Hmm it's basically like an interactive movie and I can see how some people can hate that
I believe a lot of people are just disappointed by the untapped potential.
Don't like having qte for everything but it's not a deal breaker, it's just annoying.
So far I'm into the story though, having company over and have to put the game down for now

You know, its a shame this game isn't more like DriveClub, where they could patch in features and gradually improve the game over time.
Sadly, I don't think that can be done here.
If there was something you guys would like to see added to the game post-launch, what would it be?

RE6 got trashed by reviewers and gamers, I loved it.
Deadly Premonition got trashed, loved it.
Nier was considered to be a middling game, I consider it a excellent game.
Guess what? I harbor no negative feelings towards critics and gamers that think those games are piles of steamy shit. I accept that I may enjoy things most other people don't enjoy, and that my shit stinks just like everyone else's.
The angst towards reviews and critics is obnoxious. Reviews exist to give information and a subjective opinion to people that can't play the game, they don't exist to validate what any random gamer feels while playing a game.
Nailed it and last paragraph gets it sooo perfectly.
Wow. This game is extremely pretty. I like it so far, but I can definitely see why reviewers had issues with it. It definitely isn't for everyone. Which is why they definitely should have thrown in a multiplayer mode, pure gameplay to counter the heavily story driven single player.
Truth.
If you enjoy the premise of the game, buy the game and see if you enjoy it. Who cares what some reviews or random posters say. Do your own research, if a game sounds like something you like, go for it. Reviews are great buying guides I think, and they help me figure out whether the game is for me or not. But just like he said, there are games that reviewed bad that I still enjoy (heck I actually enjoy Knack in a way lol :-0. It's just wierd to see people hating on reviews and everything just because it didn't get a score you wanted it to have, not all games will score well with critics, doesn't mean you might not like it. No need to call their ability to review games into question or anything, people just have different tastes.
That said, gonna be giving this game a go over the weekend hopefully if I have time. Gonna be a bit busy :-/

I'm on my second playthrough on chapter 5 and I noticed it a few times where it felt a lot higher (Infamous SS esque) but dropped back to 30. Noticed it a lot in Dying Light too.

1886 is probably stressing the GPU more than any of your other games, hence why it's only happening now. Similar thing happened when Gears of War came out. Lots of 360s met their fate early because of that game.
A few chapters in so far....
Visually, the game delivers hard as hell, i had high expectations and it definitely matched it. Although the enemies surprisingly dont have that much visual flair, if at all, especially compared to everything else. It is a visual showcase for sure, but hard to show off because it takes a while to hit the action scenes.
Gunplay, way more "floatier" than I thought, and the bullet impacts don't feel as weighty as the weapons visually appear/sound. The impact detection is also a bit off, especially when enemies are around corners. I can see them poking out but I can't get a hit at all. Blackwater is an interesting concept but awkward in execution since you can't really aim it as much as you'd like.
Controls - Prompts. Fucking everywhere, and rather unnecessary. When the action kicks in it is very straight forward.
Story is actually pretty interesting, and the world is wonderfully tailored to it.
Overall, I'd recommend it as a rent, or when it is much cheaper. The game should have been sold not as a cinematic third person shooter but something more like Heavy Rain.

Can we stop with the whole "honeymoon period" shit? It's annoying. Just because you didn't like it as much as others doesn't mean everyone who is enjoying it now is just going through a honeymoon phase. It's not exactly a stretch to think people might actually like the game for what it is.

That's interesting, that's pretty much how I would describe TLOU's gunplay. I don't see anything in particular that elevates gunplay in TLOU over The Order. In fact guns in TO1886 feel punchier, louder, just smoother to operate in my opinion.
This is really starting to get irritating and almost feels like a slight insult of intelligence to the many level headed posters in this very topic. I think many are mature enough here to not have 'drank the koolaid' and can praise the game in the ways they see fit.

Thank you. It's one thing that people are using reviews to make determinations of the game (that's fine), but insulting people who have different opinions as if we have some sort of "emotional" investment in the game if we enjoy it is absolutely ridiculous.
I'm enjoying the game and I could probably make a profit flipping it. I bought it for $37 and can trade it in for $40 if I wanted. Why the fuck would I have some sort of honeymoon period with the game? Its such annoying bullshit.
