Ouch at The order score.

No Bloodborne review? Just impressions?

M.W. · Mar 11, 2015

The Order was fantastic. This mag likes living on the edge.

MaximusPayne · Mar 11, 2015

wow...how do they justify the 4/10 Order score?

I think you have to wait til tomorrow for the 10.

Strickland · Mar 11, 2015

They said Bloodborne and Masterpiece in the same sentence.. So I guess they liked it?

Everyone else hated it and we're the last review so we don't want to think about it too much. 4.

There's plenty of ways to justify it. It's just not a good game

Derpyduck · Mar 11, 2015

Presumably they played it.

TheBioLover · Mar 11, 2015

So there's no Bloodborne score? Just impressions?

Not surprising. Once one bad review comes out, the rest of the critics dogpile. It's cool to shit on The Order like it was cool to shit on Destiny.

Messofanego · Mar 11, 2015

Outer Wilds hype!

They didn't finish the game.

That Dylan Cuthbert interview sound interesting.

Do people sincerely believe that this is how it works?

Eggbok · Mar 11, 2015

Stealth Order 1886 thread, I see you OP.

I can't wait to play Bloodborne, just 2 more weeks !! Also would love to read that Dylan Cuthbert interview, I'm dying for more Tomorrow Children info!

Yeah... that must be why

entremet · Mar 11, 2015

Why are people shocked at The Order reviews still?

Let it go.

Post the cover, OP.

Everyone doesn't visit every thread.

Or maybe these guys actually do think the game is not very good?

"There are moments when the game hints at what might have been... Yet despite the obvious talent at work, the studio has chosen to bury any potential under a fug of disassociative, QTE ridden game design that's as stifling as the smog that creeps through it's streets"

Or they honestly just didn't like it perhaps? It's hard to tell without reading the actual review, but I wouldn't be shocked if they gave actual legitimate complaits of the game, like a number of reviewers who disliked it have, just like Destiny recieved. There's no point in disregarding actual criticism because the game didn't fit the reception you think it should have.

This is why I can't take people seriously on Neogaf.

Borrowed it the weekend after it was released because my friend was done with it by then.

That game is anything but fantastic. It the most mediocre to average game to be released this generation. Maybe I wouldn't give it a 4, but I wouldn't go higher than 5.

I don't care how many people have deluded themselves into thinking it was worth $60.

Absolutely incredible graphics though. that's always nice.

They should use the whole scale and rate it lower, it's still an overrated game. Everything wrong with aaa game production.

Guys, considering the reviews it got elsewhere I don't think this is very controversial.

Did they seriously write "it's?"

It would make just as much sense as the rest of that dribble anyway.

What!?

I've put hundreds of hours in Destiny and agree with every criticism made at Destiny.

Crimsonclaw111 · Mar 11, 2015

Oh god this thread is turning into another thread bitching about The Order and its low score.

If you enjoy it, great. Stop being so defensive.

Very interested to read that making of for Beatles Rock Band.

Yea man, they're sure going against the grain with that score.

Yep 1 grammar error totally invalidates reviews.

Hey, I wrote this. It's like 4000 words. Really excited to see it in print!

At least the hyperbole in the review is consistent with the score.

No that was me ad libbing (couldn't be bothered to type it all out verbatim) and f'ing up the grammar.

"don't dare criticize the critics! you're being defensive"

Last time I checked, expressing an opinion on a review was a perfectly legit thing. Critics can and should receive criticism exactly like the developers some seem to be growing more and more fond of bashing.

Final verdict:
This game sucks!
4/10

Ferrio · Mar 11, 2015

I think gamers as a whole have got way more time and entertainment arguing over The Order's scores than the actual game itself.

It's kinda hard to criticize a review you haven't read.

It's "drivel"

ShockingAlberto · Mar 11, 2015

Why do you even care about review scores if you feel like they have to be objective

darkwing · Mar 11, 2015

this is the first we have known about The Order score from them?
