I don't think gameplay is the real problem but more the lack of content to go with the gameplay .
If people beat this in 6 hours they hardly get to do much gameplay wise and with no replay value that makes this worst .

Oh my. Is that a hairy shit? I have never seen it's like before. And nor do I want to. Yikes.

So far this gen has been pure mediocre low standard games or broken games. Hopefully the dross is all out of the way......But then again Hardline drops next so maybe not.

The Order half as good as Colonial Marines confirmed.

Damn I hate seeing these scores. I was so jazzed when they announced the game. Kept getting bad feelings as the time went on. As a result I didn't preorder. Now reading the reviews it's exactly the issues I was fearing were going to happen that did happen.
It really pisses me off too because the game had so much damn potential. I loved the idea of what they were going for too. It was all just wasted too.

Referring to Bloodborne, that one title in the PS4 library that interests me for the foreseeable future. Persona 5 won't be out until much later in the year and I really didn't like Last of Us all that much, which renders the hype level for Uncharted 4 fairly low.
I haven't played Demon Souls yet, maybe I will just play that instead. I've actually never played a Souls game below 60 FPS and 4K.
Bloodborne will be worth it I think, in my experience all the other exclusives have been fairly average so far other than PT but that was a playable teaser.
Wow, I was on the fence about this, but definitely saving my money for Bloodbourne (which I was getting anyway).
I do hope this doesn't kill the IP and RAD gets to do a sequel that has a bit more meat in the gameplay dept.
Will wait for black friday sale this november, $10 or lower.

I didn't say the gameplay has aged, did I? I said Gears is a product of it's time - and as you so clearly point out, people expect different things and they demand new gameplay experiences. It is true that good gameplay is good gameplay, but if products today simply strip that from earlier design with pretty visuals, it's not going to cut it.
This is why the next Uncharted will have to innovate otherwise it will be criticised for being 'more of the same'. This is why people are sick of Assassin's Creed, and Ubisoft's sandbox design. If a new Gear was to release it would have to re-invent itself somewhat, for the same reasons.
Because there's still a ton of stuff in Halo MCC that works fine. 4 different campaigns for instance. And how does AC Unity 'flat out not work'? Because its framerate isn't great? I agree that's crappy, but judging by the amount of people who had no problem playing GTAV on 360/PS3, I think its fair to say this isn't a massive deal breaker for most people.

Wow, shocking that this is getting mauled so badly. Im still excited about picking it up tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the plat over the weekend and then trade it in next week. I want to support RAD so maybe they can learn from this and make the sequel something really special.

Eh, part of the "glee" has to be understood as a backlash against the uber aggressive "fans" of this game who lashed out at anyone questioning the Order's merits. It's uncouth, but understandable.
psst $160 is pocket change compared to what I already spent on Batman Arkham Knight (Limited and Batmobile Editions in full).
Is there really a reason to be so (for lack of a better word) defensive over the scores or opinions of others, whether towards the game or metacritic?
If you have an opinion of the game or metacritic one way or the other, it isn't devalued by anyone else's opinion or value for the game, metacritic or anything else for that matter. It would be more constructive for you to detail why you like it and what disagreement you have with other peoples' opinions rather than stereotyping who finds value in what, and quoting arbitrary scores

I paid 190 for the Premium edition and 75 for the standard copy which I will sell to my friend once the premium comes. I don't feel ripped off or anything, the game is awesome. Exactly what I wanted right now.

I love these threads, it helps me figure out which people to block with ease 
Not getting this day 1 but will do soon, it looks enjoyable.

That's fine was just asking. But saying that reviewers had some preconceived notions about this game that they held onto isnt fair.
So one game a year and 6 mos after launch that may be good . I own both systems btw and check my post history.

Wait, have you played UC before?
It has many similarities with TLoU, but many crucial differences which give it an entirely different feel.

I'll have to try independent thinking sometime. Maybe once I have an extra $200 or so to throw away on crapWell I'm still excited to pick up my Premium Edition of The Order 1886 tomorrow. What, I'm suppose to change my mind based off some stranger's opinion? Nope. I'm way too much of an independent thinker to allow that madness to occur.
That's a great outlook and attitude.
This thread got a thousand posts in less than 30 minutes. so you can pretend metacritic is irrelevant, and be incorrect.

aaa games are a cut throat business right now, i think rad are done in terms of aaa games. sony wont fund another and luckily for them rad are independent dev so essentially sony can wipe their hands clean of this mess.
its also going to bomb hard commercially no doubt, people were out of their minds in that other thread thinking its going to sell 4m+

What? Why would I do that?
I've got to admit I'm pretty disappointed to see these scores, Unlike quite a few people, I've always had my reservations as reports about the game being very "cinematic" came out, but the premise was really interesting, the game looked gorgeous in all previews and above all that, it was a new IP.
Oh well. I wasn't going to buy it at release anyway. Now I don't need to buy it at all. Hopefully one of these big name exclusives will truly deliver at some point, but I've got plenty of time out of my PS4 already from smaller games so it's not a big deal.

I don't think the game scored a 63 metacritic or whatever merely because it's short. Tons of short games have received 80+ metacritics. I think from what I'm reading the gameplay itself is deeply flawed, and the associated story is nowhere near good enough to make up for the gameplay shortcomings.

The worst part for me in reading the reviews is how most focus on how the gameplay is boring. Which, alongside the concern over the length the past couple weeks, was my biggest concern coming in.
I'll definitely pass and hope to grab cheap or redbox at some point

I'm not a conspiracy guy, fair review is a fair review.
But that is pretty unprofessional for a review site and does show some bias.
Like they had this hilarious idea and just couldn't wait to use it.
That being said, I found it funny. Just not from a publication.

Mediocre game getting mediocre scores would be a great thing if it happened to every mediocre game out there. One out of every hundred mediocre games getting low scores is confusing.
Literally unplayable and broken games get 9s and 10s all the time so I'm just left wondering why this was the game to suddenly get all critical about.

I'm awaiting his review on this as well.
Such a shame about the bad reviews although some of those reviews seem overly harsh IMO. The setting, art direction and graphics are very cool. If they just put more effort in the gameplay and length of the game. Hopefully it will sell well enough so they get a chance on a sequel.
Dont understand the need for all the schadenfreude in this thread though.

This game is another reason why hype and pre-ordering is a bad thing.

Why the hell would you digitally preorder a game when you clearly place more emphasis on other people's opinions over your own.

Now i want to play the game to see how much i agree with these reviews. I can't imagine i'll be thinking this game was a 5.. or a 4. But who knows.
freakin love these
So...
It has been stated by Ready at Dawn CEO Ru Weerasuriya that The Order: 1886 has been in active development since 2010
5 fucking years for this?
greatness? what greatness? for being such a high profile game, this is misery.
Like someone has mentioned ITT, Sony needs to reevaluate how they greenlight games.
Shame on you RAD.
And no, I'm not an Internet bully. Your game is shit. As simple as that.

No there are actual problems with The Order 1886 it went too over the line with the whole game/movie thing and never really did anything new or worthwhile in the tps genre it isn't a problem with AAA titles or journalists trouncing them this game itself just has issues of its own.
