The Order 1886 Review Thread

If there's an Order 2, the very first thing RAD should prioritize is incorporating monstrous enemies like the Elder Lycans into the normal gameplay. Fighting monsters is the main conflict in the game world and the main draw the concept has over other shooters.
It's pretty simple: Crazy guns + Shooting monsters = winning formula. The Order showed us the concept, but never really goes through with it.

What makes you think that?
I'm not seeing the problem

Sounds like its a pretty game, just not one that lasts.
I'll probably wait for it to drop in price now, instead of picking up my pre-order.

It's a cesspool.
Had a lot of fun with EYE. Definitely underrated.
Yeah it has been a mess.

Still gonna buy this after it gets a nice price drop.
Concerned even?
I would play it if it got 1s because I'm a Souls junkie, but there's the problem of not having a PS4.
Yes, I'm sure you've already decided this.

I know I'm a late with this reply but.. Good luck getting 7-8 hours of gameplay out of it.
This thread has been less than steller, but hopefully RaD learned a little andcan improve. Hopefully journalist continue to use the entire scale when reviewing. Hopefully consumers learned about hype and pre-ordering games.
Can't we say the same for any major game coming up? I meant what if MGS V gets similar scores. Or Uncharted 4. Or Halo 5?
No ones made a shit nickelback joke yet

The only "must have" next-gen game
I hate the phrase

There's pretty much no chance this'll happen thankfully. I didn't really enjoy what I've played of Dark Souls, but even I can recognize that Bloodbourne looks to be a very well-made game that people are going to really like based on the reception of the Souls series. I would be shocked if it scored below an 80 on MC and more realistically expect it to be one of the best reviewed games of this year.
The most interesting game is definitely going to be Zelda. A certain part of that fanbase is going to be grabbing pitchforks and lighting torches even if the MC score gets in the lower 90s
how, we already know how Bloodborne plays

I just think Sony needs more studios.
Third party publishers aren't putting out a lot of games. This forces Sony's studios to fill in the gaps, while still having to make the best looking games on PS4. Something is going to be sacrificed while everyone adjusts to next gen hardware.

It's a port, not a next-gen game. There is no "must have" next-gen game yet, and I don't think there will be one until later this year. We do have Witcher 3/MGS5/Persona 5/The Division/Uncharted 4/Halo 5 and more all coming out this year though, some of them are bound to be must have.
They should let studios do what they do best, create great gameplay, and fun games.. and let the whle 1080p debate go.. it gave us Driveclub and now the order..
It's not about a few pixels more.
But that's my opinion.
but have you played Driveclub?
Driveclub is one of the best racing games ever made. It really shouldn't be brought up the in the context of "bad" games, any problems with it aren't related to the presentation.
Yes, I have it..
It was a complete mess for months... but at least it's 1080p, right.
And to be honest, it's not that great of a game in it's current state either, I thought RR 6 and 7 for example where much better.

Going by IGN Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive got 9.0 and theres over a dozen Wii U games that have gotten that distinction as well. Not a single first party AAA PS4 game can say that. It's literally the only system in existence without a killer app which is embarrassing considering its been on the market for a year and a half and its competitors have several already.
As Is The Order though.
Man people love Driveclub.
It is constantly getting championed.
I personally thought it was crap. Terrible career mode.
Everyone expected Order to get bad scores.
Bloodborne getting bad scored would bring about the GAF apocalypse.
Let us not forget the likes of Heavenly Sword, Haze, and Lair. The situation is supremely similar though I do feel that The Order is a much better game than any of those (though Lair isn't as bad as reviews suggested).
To each there own, I don't really mind the career mode only really being single events, I love the feel of racing in that game, something about it just feels right.
One more hour to go before we find out if The Order reviews are justified or not.

Do you really think any are "must have" that the general consensus can agree?
That was my point, can you name several MS and Nintendo first party "must have" games?
Fortunately for your feelings, Rad is not a Sony Internal Studio.
I wonder if there's been a directive to their internal studios (and partners) to focus primarily on visuals to try and highlight the difference in power between the PS4 and the competition.
Who's we?
80 is not meh.
Anyhow, people so quickly forget the absurdly good latter years of the PS3, and how bad it was to begin with. Same for MS (except without the good latter years). Only Nintendo puts out great games this early on.
It could very well be, as more resources went in presentation instead of the other stuff.

360 had Gears of War in its first year iirc (November after launch), and Crackdown fell on today if comparing time-frames. Last time I checked they were both rather good games : )
But those mid to latter years on PS3 were great, and we're getting Bloodborne in a month. Been ok with relying on third parties in padding out the time between first party releases.
The general public that didn't get the game early.
Props for Gears, but Crackdown is more or less on Infamous's level.
Gonna stop myself there as I don't really care to get into that conversation, lol.

This is while being a gen behind everyone else though.
Look at Gamecube, and even titles like Sunshine and Wind Waker experienced some cuts to gameplay (and Twilight Princess was being delayed non-stop).
Smash Bros Melee + Metroid Prime + Sunshine + WindWaker + Pikmin + Animal Crossing + F-Zero GX + Mario Kart + Luigi's Mansion and more all in the first 2 years. That's pretty staggering.
edit: Mario Kart actually falls a few days outside of 2 years
If we're counting remakes then TLOU too.
Also, 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and Smash WiiU.
? Well, then perhaps Sony and MS should get a gen behind too so gamers can enjoy games...

So in your words "general consensus can agree is a must have" is now it's IGN rating. I guess if general consensus means 1 review site, it's a shame there's no way to find an average score across a range of websites?
