This thread is really selling the game. Seriously, I'm now really looking forward to it.

This. Sony keeps doubling down on single player like its 1996 again.

This is how I feel. The setting is amazing, but that's not enough for $60. Once I finish the campaign, what's there to go back to?
Yep. It's what I've been saying ad naseum for months as well.
RaD is a smallish studio working on their first AAA game and wanted to focus on delivering a single player experience first. If there's a sequel, I'm sure they'll have MP but they wanted to kick off the series in a single player focused way. I do hope they bundle an Uncharted beta or something with it though.

No you got it wrong I thanked him for agreeing this is a Gaming forum where people can post their opinions, I'm checking the positive impressions don't get me wrong

GAF seems not to have an issue with TNO and RE4 which are also single player only. If this game gets knocked for that, then why didn't they knock it for these two games?

I'd rather have a strong single player than a half assed campaign with multi player.
I expect this for The Order 2: Wolfman Boogaloo as well. An Uncharted beta is a wicked good idea.

Drawn to Death is MP focus.

He probably means in terms of being a big franchise with a dedicated user base. The SP will have to be something really special.

On the other hand, many of us moan when a game gets multiplayer needlessly crowbarred in, so how can they possibly please everyone? I say go the Uncharted route, and if it's a big success and the gameplay solid think about expanding with MP modes in the sequel. I'd much rather they focus on a great campaign for their first original IP. Plus, RAD are as I recall only about 80 people, so no need to stretch themselves thin in order to tick a box.

Yep. They could have at least just slapped in a horde mode. It's a bizarre decision.

Well, the cutscenes are unskippable, but at least they seem to be pretty short.
Nah you see things that get slapped on are never good and a waste of resources.
I Wonder if they can't bring MP later after the game has shipped. Unfortunately I don't see the value in $60. They should consider dropping it $40 to ensure more people buy it. I mean look at the resurgence of Shadow of Mordor sales after the price drop.
I plan on grabbing it but at a smaller price point

RE4? Really? A game that came out in 2004, has been part of a historically single-player franchise, and has tons of other extras besides the campaign? What else does the Order have besides its campaign? I can't imagine that it will be too long either (TPS games don't typically have long campaigns).
And I don't know if you noticed, but TNO didn't really set the charts on fire, even on GAF. A few people made a lot of noise about it, but that's it.
The cutscenes are the best part of the game
Any chance of an official art book in the future? By the way, the entire art team working on this game deserves a medal.

I love the Victorian London setting and the shotgun looks awesome. I also liked the more survival-horror feel from the E3 demo. I hope the game is able to jump back and forth between action and horror. I'm also hoping the story is good. I feel like there aren't a lot of games with interesting stories coming out.

No multiplayer

ugh.
I apologize. I misunderstood completely. Sorry for being a dick.

Haven't played Max Payne 3 to compare, but...hopefully these are shorter?
For the 1 000 000 time, there are no cutscenes.

If the gunplay feels as good as they're touting it to even a simple horde mode would be a great inclusion and add value. No MP for a game like this in 2015 is just stunningly naive.

When it comes to cutscenes and forced walking it seems like I barely win at all.
Game developers pls (; _
It's not just that the ones in MP3 are long, they're incredibly frequent to the point that even the short cutaways become excruciating. Before, after, and sometimes during every shootout. It's ridiculous. I really hope this game doesn't suffer a similar fate. At the very least they seem to be doing the "interactive cutscene" stuff which MAY ease the pain a little bit. (no pun intended)
I dont play mp in my games. Atmost ill give it a 15 min try. (eg in uc) If its really good like tlou ill play more but mp doesnt matter much to me. I'm sure there are many others like me. (I know my ex roommate also loved uc and he just replayed the campaign on harder modes rather than mp) No point just tacking it on .

I wonder if the people who are complaining about the lack of MP are still the same people who complain when we get tacked-on MP in games like Tomb Raider.
I'm confident that a sequel would likely have MP but for their first foray into a AAA console game, fair play to them.

I don't see how this is going to be worth $60 for me. . I had the chance to pre-order it but I passed.
Within the same week The Witcher 3 will be dropping. The Witcher 3 has such a larger scope than this game. It feels so linear without any reason to replay it. At least Gears had horde mode and multiplayer. This game will be another inFamous, great game to play but even better to rent. But hell at least inFamous can have two distinct paths. . it looks like 1886 will have one conclusion.
I might wait until it goes on sale in March.

Do we atleast know if there are different difficulty modes?
I just want to know what reason there is to keep playing this game after the campaign.

If the campaign is the same length as tomb raider/re4 and has similar side content then fair enough if there's no MP.

This is totally going to be one of those games that's incredible on a first run and tedious second time through isn't it?
Day one though because I'm a sucker for a well crafted, story driven game and enjoy my horror, action adventure type games. Oh and a steam-punk Victorian London is one of the coolest settings for a video game ever.
It looks glorious, presentation, characters and sound design are all top notch and we;re hearing that the gunplay is pretty tight. That's all i need to know. I'll probably play it through a few times for the Platinum and then store it away for a few years so I can go in fresh again.

Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.
Or Wolfenstein.

I don't understand the desire for MP just for the sake of it.
Everything that appeals to me about The Order would not carry over to multiplayer, I don't need it tacked on.
