The Order: 1886

I hope this is good. I am looking forward to this one but sitting on myself until I get some real world reviews before I plunk money down.

I'm really hoping it will be solid as well, but remain very skeptical. There is hardly any marketing for it (somewhat rare being a AAA exclusive), haven't seen new gameplay in quite a while. Still day one purchase, just hope it doesn't disappoint.

New story trailer looks good, but the lack of hearing much about this game is worrying. Ill wait till reviews come out.

I've been totally warned off buying this as a Day 1 release. All the previews I've heard say that the game is boring, full of clunky quicktime events, or else standard cover-shooter fare. And those are the people who get paid to like early release games! Damn. Not holding out much hope for this.

you can get a free ps4 theme for exploring the 1886 site, its actually cool reading and watching the videos on the backstory
The Order: 1886

i got in on the best buy glitch (CE for $40) last year so I'll be playing, will see if its a QTE-shitfest or a fun game

SM studios - it'll no doubt be QTE heavy to some degree - but hopefully not to shitfest levels. (GoW games weren't overboard on QTE for 95% of the game so I could stand them for example)

I'm still excited for it. Seems like most people who have played the demo say the combat is a bit bland, but tbh the combat in TLOU was as well. Everyone is saying it is the most graphically impressive console game to date, so if it has a good story then I will be plenty happy.

Is this shit still letterboxed for the "cinematic" experience? Fucking lazy shitters cutting pixels out of their rendering.

QTEs are fucking awful. Why do they continue to put that bullshit in games?

Full play through on youtube. It looks like it metal gear solid level of cutscenes vs gameplay.

Is that ply through heavily edited or is the game only 5 hours long?

He rushes through the game on easy.

Think it is unedited, though from the comments ( I just skimmed some chapters ) there are some complaints that the uploader doesn't do much exploring or interactions (notes, talking to npcs, etc). So might be some extra gameplay / missed stuff.

Mechanics in the game seem like what the standard has been for years now. Story followed by combat chokepoint featuring waves of enemies, then story again. Third person combat with a cover system, enemies drop weapons accessible with the standard d-pad menu. Anyone who has played a third person action game in the past decade will be familiar with it.

With the active combat, it appears to have less QTEs than Ryse, but it seems like a very linear story based game suited for rental at best. 16 chapters, and from the videos, chapter 12-13 are 5 minutes each with 99% cut scenes.

I will play it eventually, but not after a substantial price drop or it coming to PS+.

i think some dude did a more normal play through in germany and said its around 12 hours, so not that much longer but long enough I guess? I dunno seems like its gonna be very controversial, guessing some people will enjoy it and some people will feel super ripped off

i definitely don't think its gonna be a console mover, still don't really have one exclusive to next gen which is kinda sad now that its coming up to 15 months past launch. I think Blood borne is gonna be too niche, maybe Uncharted 4 and Halo 5 respectively? All sequels too. Guess theres some new IPs coming out this year hope they fare better than Destiny, Sunset Overdrive, and 1886.

Depends how much additional content comes down the pipe and how much side content/etc.
