2 vastly different games.
I predict a lot of bans

Yup, if every game was 60 hours I'd go insane

How so cheap ?
Anyway, I worry about games like this, no matter how good the single player is, it needs a coop or some type of social element for people to keep playing and investing time.
Otherwise danger is many play and then trade it, stacking the shelves of Game and CEX (UK), which is a shame ( I always buy new as I don't like lining resellers pockets. )
Not every game needs multi or coop, but it keeps the game off the second hand shelves.

Considering that the game is said to be cutscene heavy, I hope that isn't the case.
Either way I'm getting my copy on Saturday or Sunday.
The review thread is going to be a war zone.

The Uncharted 3 thread set the bar. If low reviews don't incite death threats, then that thread is still king.

Ill take your word for it then, no way im watching any videos! Anything over 10 hours and ill be happy with the game length. I know the way I play these games i'll be more likely to come in over that, so I guess more methodical play styles will get more immersion and 'bang for your buck' out of the game. Lets just hope the overall experience is also good for those less patient players who are a bit more gung ho'.

Regarding the "unskippable cinematics" argument, I think that it's like the movie Unbrakable when the dad goes to the S. Jackson store looking for a nice draw for his kid, Jackson gets pissed and kick out the guy.
I do agree that the game should have skippable cinematics when you play the game for a second time but it's not a big issue for me.

I haven't watched his videos because I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but are you sure it was his 1st playthrough? Did he go to every nook and cranny to find a pathway or did he move straight forward as if he played this game before?
Holy batman at this thread (and other threads)!
I was gonna pre order it but decided to wait for some "real" reviews. It's already hard enough to trust anyone on this thread. I got burnt few times by spending $60 for a game that's either short or big disappointment. I'm not going to do that again.

I don't interpret that either way. He's stating his observation on others opinions then says hell give his own impressions. Not sure how much more Switzerland he could be there.
playing on hard and gazing at the vistas/graphics like I do in every game will def. increase play time for me

Got my copy pre-ordered for only £42 thanks to a gaffer post in another thread. This is the most excited I've been for a game since Uncharted 2. My wife and kids are sick of me going on about it but I don't care as soon as I'm playing I will be all ooh look at this and check this out lol. p.s I love single player games and I know this is going to sound a wee bit sad but I completed Drakes Fortune about sixty times.

Was clearly his first playthrough. In fact, he blatantly ignored obvious on-screen prompts and audio cues and wandered around like a blind man in a number of sections before stumbling across the obvious white dot indicator he should have spotted 15-20 seconds earlier.
The tame difficulty setting was the primary reason he rocketed through the game in no time flat. I'm eager to hear impressions from folks who've had first-hand experience with multiple difficulty levels that can speak directly to things like AI enhancements at the higher setting.

There are so many different types of games, we get such a variety over the year in the game industry. Why is it so weird to have a cinematic game that is focused and linear? Every game does not need to be open world or have multiplayer. The Order is what it is and to a bunch of people that's fine, if it isn't for you then don't get it. Going around calling things a movie or whatever literally does nothing to further the discussion, if you enjoy your long open world games then go ahead and sink most of your money in those. No one is here trying to get those who are not interested in these types of games to buy it. But those of us who are excited and like these types of games, let us enjoy it. If what you have seen so far isn't to your liking then buying the full game will not change your opinion, if you're on the fence, then you should wait for reviews or more impressions to get a better gauge. This isn't directed at anyone, but just a general thought on this past week in all these threads.
I think I'm actually more excited for the review thread than the game itself. I think the game will be solid but I know the review thread is going to be amazing.

Provided a slight upgrade to your gif.I'm kind of surprised people remember this gif. I had to re-upload it, I lost all my bookmarks when I upgraded my PC.
I can't tell for sure, but they did wander around a bit at times, so my guess is that it was their first time. Also, they unlocked trophies while playing, so that would suggest it was their first time. They didn't seem to be looking for hidden stuff or anything, they just went straight for the main objective. I wouldn't call it a speed run or anything though.

LOL, very nice.
I know.
I too wish to enjoy the immaculately rendered spectacle of me zapping some bowler-hatted dude's head clean off.

Try again, bud. I've never even purchased a CoD game, why would I bash a franchise I've never even had extensive experience with? I think you'll find I've never lambasted any game of 5 hours. In fact, I've always been an advocate of short and sweet games. Some of my most replayed titles are short games, for that very reason. My favorite GTA is San Andreas, but that was the last time I could devote 40 to 50 hours to that monstrosity of a single player campaign. Good try though.
Mind enlightening me on what's so "embarrassing" about my post then? I stand 100% behind my rationale on the matter. I can pay a full $60 bucks for other media and get the same length of content I would for a fully priced "short" game.
That's all well and good. I never said it was impossible to play these lengthy games on this kind of schedule. But like you yourself stated, it took you months to beat the game. It's fine if you can prolong your attention to a game for a span of months, but I like to play a game all the way through in preferably a week or less and move on with my life. If it's a month or more down the line since I've last played a game (especially a lore/story based one) I'll find it extremely difficult to elevate my interest and enthusiasm to pick up the game again. Honestly, TLoU felt like a chore sometimes because I just wanted to beat the game and see what happened in the story already. Of course this was at the 15/16 hour mark.
The Order strikes me as one of those mainstream games that will be extremely flashy, but also extremely shallow.
If you are looking forward to this kind of thing, more power to you there is nothing wrong with that. Just always seen it as mediocre. I can't imagine it on the GOTY list or really discussed outside of this week.

The bans are through the roof.
Sounds like there is a problem if negative comments about a game impact a person's ability to enjoy said game.

Ah I see. I'm genuinely curious to see how this will turn out
That's because we all know Metal Gear Solid V will be GOTY.
I say this without bias.

10 to 15 years ago action and action adventure games were priced
about 50$ with 3 to 5 hours of lenght. Where were all of you (the people so worried about lenght)? Isn't Shadow of the Colossus considered a masterpierce? Resident Evil 1, 2, 3? Ico? Tomb Raider? Silent Hill?

That's really my biggest concern. I forgive it in older games where they didn't know better, but I can't believe a 2015 game would have something like that. Boggles my mind. I hope checkpoint placement isn't stupid, at least...
Not saying this game will be anything like TLOU, but many people said the same thing before and even when that game got released.

I played through Drakes Fortune 6 times. Loved the trophy patch. Best Uncharted.
Why. I don't understand. Why get banned over this. Why fight over review scores?
By the way this thread is amazing and should be studied by a behavior specialist.
