I'll put it this way; read the impressions. Stay away from the arguments and conspiracies, because they're silly. The impressions will give you a good idea of how ludicrous the gameplay claim is.There's 52 pages
I don't hate myself that much to read that many arguments

well there are a lot of preorders for the game at my work place. but its also Russia so I don't even know if it means something. That said we had the same amount of preorders for both GTA v and TLOU. I even wonder that we have like four times less the number of preorders for Bloodbourne

I'm interested to see how it does outside of the usual locales with good sales tracking info, personally.
Having kept up with RAD, their press tour for this game, as well as Sony Asia travelling and promoting this game at Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, etc... There's quite a bit of effort being put into the Order at a global scale.
I can't remember the last game where the game feels like it's receiving this kind of concentration of marketing from Sony.

There'll be a review thread though, which I won't be stepping foot in at all. It's gonna be a bloodbath regardless of the scores the game gets.

Damn, I was gonna try Walmart today, but there's nothing more disheartening than seeing the game on display, asking for it, then scanned at the register and getting denied. Has happened to me like 4 times at my Walmart, still may make the drive up there tomorrow.

Not really, they're reflective of a normalized summation. It's why there are outlets that separate the role of review writer and who comes up with the score which will then be based on the actual words of the review.

There will be a review thread for that shit.
Can't wait for the inevitable giantbomb 1/5,or a Jim Sterling 4/10 and then for those with preconceived notions to latch on to those lower outlier scores.
you and me.
I'm going to do this to prove my point. The youtuber also owns the game (the one claiming the 1.5-2.5 thing), and uploaded his entire playthrough to youtube. So his evidence is actually stronger than a few pictures technically. I'll post this here to sum up what I'm arguing it's a pointless argument I know.
But I'm not "shitposting" or trying to spread bunk, I'm just talking about how the tactics used to shoot down negative thoughts or impressions are ridiculous and reactionary. I don't believe the youtube guy, but I also won't write something off immediately.

Osiris, Rapier, Lurgan all said the 1.5-2.5 hour gameplay claim is bullshit
here's one

Ok so let's put this in perspective.
I like the game Littlebigplanet 3, I also like the game rayman legends.
So it's either like or dislike in this case? That's it? IMO Legends is a 10 and LBP3 is a 7. You don't have things you like better or worse than others? Number scales make perfect sense for this reason.

Still crazy a thread about screenshots went over 100 pages lol
By the way is there any news/confirmation by RAD about a day 1 patch for the game?

best bet is to just claim that someone told you to come pick it up over the phone. I was able to get Skyrim early from a Toys R Us. When I showed up, the manager was like, "nope, can't do it." I feigned ignorance and was like, "I just drove 30 minutes here because I was told I could come pick it up." He ended up doing it for me. That one was true though.
19th...not sure on actual time if that's what you're asking.

That's what happens when we can't have a dedicated OT till day of release
How many people responded "omg its 1.5 hr"? really?... Because your statement was.. confusing.
I understand what the poster said, he clarified what YOU were trying to say. But my point all along has been that no one was accusing you... well until ME

The only thing I know for certain about The Order is that some of the dialogue is questionable. ... Not terrible, just questionable. I can instantly tell the difference between someone who's versed in 18th century speak and someone who isn't. The overall structure is more or less right but the flavour needs a little adjusting. The problem arises from the misconception that those of higher education use big words or 'narrative' centric words most of the time. I've seen many examples in the small clips I've allowed myself to watch. I'm not prepared to scout out those clips again because I really don't want to accidentally spoil anything for myself.
Here's an example of what I mean. I can't remember exactly how the conversation went:
"We will look into this conundrum' (trying to sound 18th century)
"We will look into this problem." (how he would have said it)
It's a similar problem to when people throw in 'spiffing' or 'dear chap' in order to sound upper class.
Everything else I've read and seen about this game is telling me to buy it.

If this snow clears up, gonna try this tomorrow and see what happens. Worth the attempt I think.
I should've ended this in the last post instead of being greedy. You legit ruined the punch line with this response. Such a good set-up too.
Hope your game breaks before you finish.

I agree
The reactions will probably be more exciting than the game is

And again I've never said anybody accused me in this thread, god damn man I told you that, I even linked you to a seperate order thread where I have been accused. I'm just pointing out how quick and reactionary the fanbase can be. It runs to levels of paranoia seriously. There are trolls sure, but not everyone is trying to dump on your precious game. Some people like me are genuinely hoping this game turns out great. Read my history in order threads if you really care to, it will absolutely show that I want this game to be great.

That post doesn't really shed too much light on the matter, honestly. I'm sure the original claim of 1.5 to 2.5 hours was exaggerated, even considering the YouTuber said he wasn't counting the QTE stuff, but "very few cutscenes and lots of action" doesn't exactly tell me how much of that one hour he spent actively interacting in the game. Nor do I know his skill level and if any of that was dying/reloading, etc.
I'm sure there's plenty to the game, but I don't really see how that constitutes a debunk.
Lmao
whhhhat? really? lol

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

Speaking of GB, they're the site that said DC lacked soul. Maybe they can reuse that line
yep. live on twitter.
As it stands there are more people in this thread that say it's BS. So One youtuber is more credible Then multiple gaf members in this thread? Unless you're saying people are lying it seems you have an agenda.

Saying something is a "10" for you is a completely arbitrary thing. What a 10 is for you can be very different than what a 10 is for someone else. A person may focus on certain aspects more, grade harder, have weird tastes, be biased by fanboyism, etc. The best way to gauge a game is by reading detailed impressions, not reading some idiotic score.

Jim does good work, but he can have some questionable opinions and methods at times. Don't recall him talking much about The Order 1886, but I feel like he'll be more positive than what is being suggested.
Edit: Helps that he's able to get a review out by embargo/before game is released officially. I've found that stuff that may not even affect gameplay like that can color his reviews.

He actually stated that he thinks the exact opposite if you cared to read.
Obviously you didn't, since you and others are completely misunderstanding the point of his post.

So I checked that youtuber's channel and I found something strange in his uploads. There is no Part 6...
Well I absolutely don't and if you want to interpert it that way, that's fine, but you're being paranoid and only proves my point that people are getting too defensive. Yes I agree there are more impressions stating otherwise which is why I agree with it. That being said the impressions are coming from a thread that is about a game and a lot of the impressions could likely be coming from people who are straight up hyped for the game. I'm not arguing for youtube here, I'm arguing for the idea that we don't really know anything yet, we don't know the general consensus on the game, just relax across the board with how people are feeling about the game. If somebody thinks the game may not be great don't jump down their throat stating reasons why they're wrong.
The most frustrating part is my track record would state everything otherwise in regards to an "agenda" in a sense that I'm a sony leaning guy, I can't help but have an attachment to their 1st party games, and it's been that way since the ps1.
didn't see that thread, you said you were but.. didn't know you DID post it.. but it's a big forum... so it's not surprising if someone does accuse you lol I know it's a quick and reactionary fanbase, but like you said... it's both sides. There were many people who genuinely wants the game to turn out good, just as you.. and were as critical as you. But they didn't start using "defense force" and etc. From reading your comment, I thought someone WAS accusing you, until I backtracked. Just like you're jumpy from previous threads, I"m sure others are as well. So if I've jumped to any conclusion.. sorry. Guess we're all jumpy in these kind of threads :/

No kidding, me either. Just a sign this thread has been going on FAR too long.
Calm down baby girl, no need to be so defensive.
Practising that subtle troll. They say greed is the enemy of man.
Hahah, had to catch up around 20 pages of this thread. Awesome derails and everything you could hope from a hype thread.
This part was really golden.
Edit: Bonus points for Verendus getting a level up on his prestige class, Troll.

You're hilarious.
I think it begun with Cosmic's quote about mediocre games...
which lead to these responses:
I could be wrong LOL >_<
