Gears of War was a product of it's time - that kind of gameplay just won't cut it anymore.

Knack, driveclub, Killzone. I did the same for all three and got a more honest score.

Was hoping for atleast a warm reception, I'll probably wait for ps+ in a few years.
Linear is not that bad. It's more like not doing anything interesting during some specific point.
The Videogamer.com guys aren't exactly professional...and that's a good thing. They're not pretending to be anything they're not, and that image is amusing even if you like the game or not.

Yeah because MS have straight 10s exclusives right?

All it needed was Multiplayer and everyone would of shut up.
Hopefully there working on that now the game is done and add it as stand alone DLC.

Because there's room in video games for all sorts of stuff.
It just sounds like they whiffed hard.
Which is what we wanted and which I'm sure we're all in favour of.

Legendary threads, lmao.
It's gonna be a bloodbath. I advise all supporters of the game to stay home. Let all the negative nellies sort it out with each other. Wonder how that'll look.

No it fucking isn't given the history of game reviews. So you're going to tell me now that all of a sudden there are no issues with the way reviewers flip flop what are important issues in one game but not another, and that all of a sudden they're the gold standard?
You mean those guys deeply invested in the game ever since the first reveal?
*Shenmue and Indigo Prophecy, and it should've stopped there.
That's a weird reasoning if I ever saw one.

They're gonna get closed down over reviews? What if the game actually sells?
What are you trying to say man?
hmm RAD isn't first party

Woah, didn't expect the scores to be this low. I guess I'll buy it for my brother and ask his opinion before I play it.

Doesn't mean that Sony wasn't pushing it as much as possible.
That this is all happening after it got delayed by several months only makes it look worse. I can't imagine how it would've turned out had they actually forced the game out last Christmas.

If it does have to be eviscerated, I hope that's how it happens lol. I can definitely live with that.
I wonder if these bad scores will translate into bad sales?
Bollocks they all were. This is like those posts claiming they were all lying about or wrong about their play times. Maybe the truth is many of us just have different tastes?

Drive Club absolutely bombed in the US and Japan and sold ok-ish in europe.
I think Destiny would be a better example.

Until Dawn will get 1's and 2's then.
This probably won't because it's being packaged as a game that requires decision making. It's not pretending to be anything else.

I'm still looking forward to it. Got it super cheap which obviously softens the blow of being such a short game, but in any case I'm a sucker for tight, linear action games.

could never
lol, what's this Snake?
Not even attempting a challenge/mercenaries mode equivalent borders on shameful, IMO. That's just lazy.

Man, this game is taking a beating. I'm still getting it tomorrow, and I'm excited for it too. I'm going to form my own opinion on it once I play it.

Wow, 4/10 from Metro is damning. That's one of the most reliable outlets out there.
Don't try to cynically write their opinions off. It's a shoddy gears clone with unskippable cutscenes taking up 40% of the game. It wasn't exactly going to get showered in love.

Not surprised by these scores at all. Every glimpse of the game that we got leading up to release showcased nothing but boring mediocrity. I hope that this game doesn't sell well. Poor sales would send a clear message that this is not the type of experience that people want from games.
Final Verdict

What I love about Uncharted is that it has a lot of set pieces, but you get to actually play out through those set pieces, and it is more than just button prompts here and there.
There is a lot of platforming, and using your wits to solve puzzles.
Now I haven't played The Order yet, but from what I have read, and seen, there doesn't seem to be a lot of platforming at all, it has way more cut scenes than Uncharted, and a lot more QTEs to do stuff than UC as well, so I guess that is the difference there.

I wonder if people even realise their gigantic confirmation bias when it comes to this. I've already seen a few posters in the impressions thread who were getting hyped from GAF impressions come in here and basically say "reviews don't matter", heh.
Any Questions

I have my doubts. I can't recall am instance where mutliplayer has been retrospectively added.
If that is how you derive value, I guess it is your choice. To me, that is a laughable premise. Without the knowledge of whether it was or wasn't exclusive, it would be judged the same
Until Dawn will get 1's and 2's then.
If the story is good, no it won't, you also get to CHOOSE how the story unfolds in that, so again, at best, it'll be a Heavy Rain type of game that's at least interesting to play for the story.

What gameplay does cut it then?
What is old school about The Order? Modern AAA tropes encompass the design entirely.
