And all this was over a game that wasn't released, was it even leaked at that time?

It doesn't, but where is the fun in that?
I mean, it's a console exclusive. That is prime material.

Used to be different. We would be having reviews out atleast a week before release just a couple of years back.

It's reassuring that none of the impressions I've seen are negative about the action (gameplay) parts. Sounds like RAD did a good job on that even if there isn't a ton of it. Not being able to skip cutscenes might make replays a bit frustrating, but if the gameplay is satisfying, I'm sure I'll play it at least twice.

LOL that post is awesome.This thread will be awesome one way or another. The Order is a divisive subject around these parts.
Has anyone clarified how they got that number? It is the full runtime of cutscenes that include QTEs or what?

I'm expecting low to mid 70s metacritic, 5/10 from polygon and an entertaining thread
Some of those posts... amazing.

What's GAF going to do when the industry gets rid of review scores?

But you're criticizing the amount of cinematics and QTEs as a bad thing. Series like MGS and all of Telltale games embody a lot of these points of criticisms but are generally very well regarded.
You also have no idea if The Order has creative gameplay ideas or not.

No more than there being like 3 pages of gifs that are seemingly setting the stage. I'd like to see some mature and valid discussions about the review scores. My mind isn't made up on the game yet so I'm interested in dissecting the reviews and talking about them with others to get a better barometer of whether or not the game is worth the money to me. That's kind of what review threads on a discussion forum should be about.

I've never played The Order 1886 but I can imagine a 75 is what it would play like

Heheh, I don't think I've never seen that thread.
I see thuway and BruiserBear in there
Isn't 3 considered the least of the series by many/most?
Wait...that's OT...derp, NM.
I need to go read that thread sometime for entertainment purposes I suppose.

The Order 1886 will be a corpse. GAFers will be the vultures.
Funnily enough, Uncharted 3 still scored a 92 for Universal Acclaim.

Actually read the text of reviews and have to discuss the merits of a game in an orderly fashion?
Lol. Who am I kidding.
I'm really hoping if this thread can't manage a discussion, maybe the OT will be filled with some discussion of people's impressions of the game, but I have this feeling the OT will be filled with people trying to share their YouTube "impressions."
Oh so there is an easy mode

Did you play it?

So basically almost as good as The Last Of Us that got 6/10.
The Order:1886 game of the year confirmed.

How would you have rated it? What parts of the game you think were let-downs?
Why else would he say that 75 seems too high? Do you think someone seriously judges the game without having played it?

I predict Eurogamer will favourably review the game in words then say you shouldnt buy it since it has no MP.
IGN will give it a 8 saying its stunning and atmospheric but the story is slow off the ground (based on impressions).
Youll most likely get the usual publications slating it, destructoid, polygon there will be the usual random publication giving a 3/10 because they are some aort of gaming hipster who simply cant tolerate anything cinematic IT MUST BE A SIDE SCROLLER WITH SPRITES!
I think it will sell enough to get a sequel and it will have a strong and passionate following that swear by it being one of the largest leaps in gaming to cinematic experiences ever.
It will probbaly lead on to a second game teased within two years that will cater to the criticisms and have a horde mode, some sort of hub world with useless fetch quests and some truly shocking dialogues having lost the intimacy with the characters. It will also have a added on MP mode woth COD style perks and upgrades and ublockable outfits. The original aufience will be alienated and the others will not pick it up because they hated the filmic experiemce of the first game. IP dies, everyone goes and buys ASSASINS: 16 BLACK FLAGS 17.

Oh no. This thread is already becoming a debate about what people want The Order to be and what it actually is.

At 4 pages in 20 minutes after just 1 review?
First 10 or so pages is usually metacritic predictions.

Good point, I think a lot of the controversy is that a lot people want this to be like Gears of War or TLOU. Just have to wait and see.

I agree with low 70s high 60s.

I'm assuming it will be divisive and near the low to mid 70's.
Polygon will rip it to shreds. But who the hell cares what a reviewer thinks anyways? I think there's enought out in the open especially if you want to spoil yourself to make a judgement on your own.
That being said. Everytime the Order comes up shit hits the fan so we will see how bad the reviews hit people

hopefully the game qualifies as a charitable contribution for tax purposes.

Damn, this game's controversial. Never did I think it would heat up so many people when they showed it. Seemed like a standard third person cover shooter that could end up being really enjoyable, but I see The Order threads going into 3000-4000 numbers.
Really hoping this delivers.
Really hoping this delivers.
I think just like some of the posters here said, it would be considerably lower. I think unless the game has top tier TLOU level writing, cinematic focused titles are not received as favorably as back in the day.
U2 and MW2 certainly influenced a generation of games that flooded the market that try to imitate the success. Even the successors to those games were scrutinized.
I can sense some people just waiting for the reviews to drop. Nope, staying far away from this thread until I finish the game myself.
But how? Time for prompts on screen, time for actions to take place after hitting the buttons, or just the total runtime of cutscenes that contain QTEs? I don't understand how it's quantifiable.
Not this one?
Gamespot Review - Zelda: Twilight Princess.
The fallout from that one review sent repercussions throughout the internet lol.
Exactly six years ago*, GameSpot reviewed The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
I'm not following. Why is this a problem?
Going Hard mode on day 1.
You're a pessimistic.
Also I don't think expecting a few 5's and 6's is that far-fetched, there'll probably be some.

Hopefully a rhetorical question, because a resounding yes to that one.

The saddest part of all that is that life is short and someone took the time to count it.

I believe some GAFers have stated that playing it on Hard resulted in a playtime twice as long (10-14 hrs), so there's that.

I doubt it will, so I'm taking a risk here.
