I'm setting the Metacritic bar at DriveClub's 71 and taking the under. But it's going to be damn close.
Unfortunately for The Order, DriveClub had a ton of updates and additional DLC/content to elevate its perception post-release. Makes it easier for enthusiast gamers to overlook that initial score.

I would be surprised to see critics drop this game into Ryse territory.

The review onslaught should be relatively entertaining regardless. Best Buy attempted delivery of my copy earlier today as well so street dates be damned.

Interesting review. It looks like a solid low to mid 80s score for the game. Lacks MP, but seems to provide an immersive single player experience. And of course, it seems to have top-notch visuals. Very original new IP for sure.

I can't wait.

Edit: prrsonally don't give a shit about review scores, but just for reference

 

[barit]

80+ and we have a winner

<75 and all hope is lost

The pressure is real

 

[-tetsuo-]

The biggest question I have right now is whether this thread will dethrone the Uncharted 3 thread for the title of most infamous review thread of all time.

The Driveclub one was pretty amazing

 

[Jawbreaker]

Keep in mind that Jeux Video gave Beyond: Two Souls a "16 of 20."

French bias, obviously!

 

[Krusenstern]

I liked Beyond: Two Souls a lot.

Tell me how bad my taste is. DO IT

Stupid QTE fest and shitty excuse of a game. You and The Order 1886 belong together.

 

[The Shogun]

Here's my random guess that means nothing but is fun

75 meta

 

[Bsigg12]

80+ and we have a winner

<75 and all hope is lost

The pressure is real

You have a gap in your scale. What happens between 75 and 80?!

 

[Any Questions]

I think I'm ready.

Amazing!

 

[Glorified G]

Probably the most anticipated review thread in the history of GAF.

Exclusives makes people here go full bonkers.

 

[Messofanego]

There is also this one.

Funniest youtube gaming reviews, love ItsGWC.

Dying Light review was a classic.

 

[loaf of bread]

If this gets in the green on metacritic I consider it a win.

 

[Dinjooh]

Personally I'm waiting for BioGamerGirl's verdict before deciding if I'm going to give this game a chance.

 

[shandy706]

I think we all know the answer to that...

But to sum things up.

Its a PlayStation exclusive which will bring the Xbox fans.

Its also the best looking video game of all time, from a £349 box which will bring the PC fans confusingly thinking how its possible when their set up is twice that amount.

Much like the Uncharted 2 and 3 threads.

You may want to put this on.

Edit** The above image is awesome/hilarious by the way...whoever created it.

 

[Readingaid]

The encouraging thing for RAD is that despite the misgivings they already have a base of fans that are willing to over look the reviews and the concerns of a few because of the effort obviously laid into the game and the potential for the series.

In that sense they have a sucess alread. Whats more this is what gave Naughty Dog the foundation to make Uncharted 2.

 

[RoboPlato]

You have a gap in your scale. What happens between 75 and 80?!

Balance is achieved and everyone gets to go home to their families.

Since they won't have to be fixing the multiplayer part of the game, they might as well work on some additional content.

Hello,

My name is K1t4j and this is my first NeoGaf "review" thread.

I might grab this over the weekend based of reviews. Let's see

80+ and we have a winner

<75 and all hope is lost

The pressure is real

Not all good games get 80+, though. To me, 70-79% is a B, but I'm Canadian and consider 50% to be a pass, albeit a slight one.

 

[Elysium-777]

I could be wrong, but i really am expecting 80+ on this one. Hopefully the sales are strong as well so RAD has the opportunity to make a more fleshed out sequel.

 

[SniperHunter]

these review threads are so silly. just buy the game if you want it....

 

[oti]

Microsoft fans rubbing their hands...ready to attack
Sony fans rubbing their hands...ready to defend
Nintendo fans rubbing their hands...ready to pre-order the next wave of amiibos

Not to be a dick..but you just called out Xbox One fans and PC fans in one post. Do you just want to see the world burn or something?

There it is <3

 

[Turkoop]

+85
turkoop out

 

[DR2K]

Good luck mods.

 

[bombshell]

Keep in mind that Jeux Video gave Beyond: Two Souls a "16 of 20."

Which is made by a French company. The bias!

 

[Acquiescence]

80+ and we have a winner

<75 and all hope is lost

The pressure is real

75-79 and we're stuck in Victorian-era purgatory.

 

[On Demand]

You people are disgusting. Excited for a game to get bad reviews? The hell is wrong with you?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

There it is <3

We can go wallow in our "shit taste" corner together <3

 

[Floridian]

I don't know if he's coming back to justify that statement.

 

[TheStruggler]

"dis gon b gud"

 

[Future]

Why only one review. Leak before embargo?

 

[barit]

You have a gap in your scale. What happens between 75 and 80?!

Good question. I dont know. Damn. Space-time continuum collapse maybe?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

95% and awarded GOTY by every site because it won't get any better than this,

Spoiler

except IGN who gave it a 6 and cited "poor use of sandbags".

 

[Jinaar]

The game should have taken the RYSE route. It is one of the reasons why I double dipped on RYSE. The ability to play with others or myself in the Colosseum. Adds to the replay-ability of the game. And it didn't feel tacked on either.

THE ORDER 1886 needs that. If it had that, threads would not be blowing up to the degree that they are in regards to play time to completion.

Waiting for more reviews to see how this singular approach will effect the thoughts of reviewers and their opinionated scores.

 

[Despera]

You also have no idea if The Order has creative gameplay ideas or not.

That's why I said "from what we've seen so far of the game". Besides, everything seems to lead to the same conclusion, but of course it's not until the game is out that we can pass our final judgement.

 

[Randam]

does really anyone think, that a console game is the best looking game there is right now?

 

[Grief.exe]

Why only one review. Leak before embargo?

Embargo is Thursday.

95% and awarded GOTY by every site because it won't get any better than this,

Spoiler

Too much sand

 

[Derpyduck]

Why only one review. Leak before embargo?

It's a magazine. Not a leak.

 

[UberTag]

Why only one review. Leak before embargo?

There will be plenty of blogger, streamer and GAF reviews coming before that embargo lifts thanks to street date being circumvented.

 

[Astral Dog]

With loves comes hate, in this case from different people.

yeah, nobody hates bloodborne.

[IKizzLE]

Reviewers have been taking AAA games this generation to task.

Infamous Second Son: 80
Watch Dogs: 80
Wolfenstein: 79
Evolve: 79
Destiny: 76
Dying Light: 73
DriveClub: 71

I mean 80 on metacritic is like the sound barrier no one can break.
I will be pleasantly surprised if The Order breaks 80.

 

[Choomp]

I liked Beyond: Two Souls a lot.

Tell me how bad my taste is. DO IT

Remember how pissed people were getting at that review circuit? Jeez. This year's going to have plenty of these crazy review threads.

Yeah what blew up the U3 review thread were the envious fanboys without a ps3, right :lol

It is. Which other game would it be?

Totally off topic, but OP: Who is that in your avatar?
