I actually thought the exact opposite. It reeks of holier than though and being a sore winner, without saying anything particularly meaningful.
...But yeah those pictures of the team celebrating are pretty funny lol

It's done imo and it is what it is. Yes, no one cares what I think neither do I care what others think.
It's a new gen, we want "new experiences" as shown in the review thread with tons of terrible reviews for this game, and yet so far, the only games to give us that are mostly the same franchises we all love and know that we hate at the same time when another sequel comes out. And then we hate that there are no new ip's.

Sure, and I would do the same. In fact, I would go and say I trust the impressions of certain, specific GAFfers above others, as their opinions line up with mine. Which is even more to say, I don't care for reviewers.
It's not confirmation bias. It's not blind hype. I just don't care for reviewers (for a variety of reasons, nothing to do with this game).

I was fairly close to getting fucking fired at work for laughing over this.
edit: On a serious note though, it seems like reviewers are continually punishing mechanically trivial games unlike last generation when most AAA games were bland gameplay-wise as well. I like where this is headed.

Until Dawn will probably get better scores than this game. First of all there are plenty of meaningful choices which equals replay value. Interactive games like that seem to be held to a lower standard by critics.
See now that seems harsh to me. Everyone here is free to express their opinion whether serious or jovial, doesn't mean they lack any respect for anything

ok wow. I am genuinely surprised. I expected it to be pretty bland in the gameplay department, with amazing graphics, and a by-the-numbers story. I guess it's just barely hitting that 
damn. I did want to try this too. There's no reason at all to want a game to be bad or fail, because a good game is good for EVERYONE involved. what a shame

Oh puh-leaze, if the game had received good scores the haters would've had to endure the same treatment from the other side.
All of their great studios focused on PS3 swan songs instead of PS4 system sellers and now this is what we get for it. That's why their current tentpoles are games from studios like Supermassive, From, and Ready At Dawn: sure, there are collaborations with their first party studios, but they're not first party games in the truest sense of the word. I really think that SSM Sci-Fi project that got canned too much for looking like Destiny was the huge hole in their lineup. I hope Horizon can fill that hole. Can you imagine if PS4 launched with Puppeteer, The Last of Us, Beyond, and GT6 instead of Knack? I think we would be having an entirely different conversation, and I think there would be no competition with the Xbox One at all.
Poor show. Pull yourself together, man.

It´s true.
You're acting like Ryse never happened. Funny enough, both these games are likely going to share a similar metacritic score, and both are among the best looking, but also most linear games on their respective consoles lol.

Assassins Creed is one of the biggest established franchises in video game history though, and it's multiplatform. The Order is new IP and PS4 exclusive.

I'd love to believe that but I'm sorry, I just don't. You haven't even played it yet, but you've been defending it like it was your child for the past few weeks.

Ok, I'm slow and dont get why this is funny/pissing some people off. Can someone ELI5?
Anyone who watched any amount of time from that 5 hour run of The Order that was posted days ago could see this coming. There were stealth segments where you had to press triangle in a QTE to incapacitate the guy. If you didn't hit it right, you are INSTAKILLED via cutscene. Then you restart five feet from where you died. I mean, that's not exactly a good gameplay mechanic.
Not to mention, where are the werewolves? I saw maybe one when I watched the gameplay footage. The rest of the time is just fighting random goobers with shotguns. I thought this game would be some crazy monster mash shooter where I destroyed werewolves and vampires with electricity rifles.
I don't know, maybe I just didn't see the appeal. I mean the graphics are certainly incredible, but from the videos it seemed like it did nothing interesting.

This is pretty fucking unprofessional.
If I were Sony I would be pissed.

Some of those years were for developing their game engine.
I don't know if independent thinking and spending 160 dollars to preorder a game go hand in hand.

Care to elaborate?
It's apparently the devs celebrating after completing the game.
They must not have nailed the story. If the story is mediocre than people won't ignore how simple the game is. So from the reviews I read its a really pretty game, tons of atmosphere but with an average story and a super simple and linear tps design. Which sucks. Personally I expect more out of these types of games now than pick up gun and shoot and now and walk down the next hallway. Exploration, collectibles, rpg elements, new game +, player choices and shit like that.
I know I will get trolled for this , but it may be time for Sony to look at replacing Shu . Sony was always known to have great first party exclusives, but this gen we have had knack, killzone. Driveclub which is a great game but launched after multiple delays , and was broke as heck at launch which killed the buzz for the game . Infamous which was beautiful, but scored rather average, and now the order , which appears to be another ryse. If his job is to manage first party games. I would say he has done a poor job overall. In my opinion
Vinsanity.

I'm willing to bet this game will be on sale somewhere for under $20 by May...anyone want a part of that bet?

Completely broken and borderline unplayable games like Halo TMCC (85 metascore) and AC:Unity (70 metascore) have rather high scores, so this getting 5-6s must mean that it sets your PS4 on fire and kills your dog!
That being said, it's disappointing to hear that the story isn't fully realized, but it's just confusing to me that a fully functional, complete and "alright" game gets significantly lower scores than games that flat out do not work.

Don't pull a hamstring jumping to those conclusions!
Because that's not what any of this indicates. At all. They under delivered on content and some gameplay freedom.
Not every game should be non-story driven open world.
Me cancelling my Amazon order before it could ship
Brutal.
Unfortunately, both DriveClub and The Order actually hearken back to older times. They feel like experiences one might have had on the PS2 with cutting edge visuals. I actually really like that about them and have enjoyed them quite a bit. They actually almost feel out of place in 2014/2015 in that sense.
I feel kind of sad knowing that these games will be viewed as failures and will likely put a dead stop to this type of design.
Interestingly, I also lump Alien Isolation and The Evil Within in with these games. These are types of experiences I want these days. The Evil Within was shredded as well and suffered from annoying technical faults while Alien has a pretty limited fan base as well. It has occurred to me that I'm not really in line with what's popular these days. :\
Same, enjoyed Ryse for the experience, although the gameplay was shallow and repetitive.
Going to hold out a bit, I'd like to grab it when the bottom falls out on the Collector's Edition on Amazon, still want that Galahad statue.

From the Metro review
I guess that is what reviewers mean when they are talking about outdated gameplay.

Engine development
Pre-production
Etc
Game, as of June 2013, was still in pre-production.
Until Dawn will get 1's and 2's then.
eh, I think 1's and 2's will be part of it's campy , B-movie nature, and people will find it fun based on that stage presentation, this one was trying to be a serious AAA game
Bloodborne and Type 0 HD + FFXV demo in March!
