villa4europe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 1st review I've seen leak was from a French magazine, 15/20, and everyone is going nuts about it, seems like so many people want it to fail The breakdown of the scores was gameplay 4/5, graphics 5/5, music 4/5, replay value 2/5 Far too much is being made out of the time it takes to complete, especially seeing as I'm guessing here (Pete?) reviewers will put it on easy and purposely smash their way through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2015 A bloke on neogaf has measured, to the second, roughly, the split of gameplay to cutscenes and QTEs in the Order 1886. His numbers bring it to be 57% gameplay, 40% cutscenes, and 3% QTEs, over a 5hr30 total play time. Apart from looking pretty I'm not sure what the hype was based on work this game. It always just looked like GoW mixed with Underworld in a Victorian setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Really want this game but want to see more reviews first. 8-10 hours and I'll get it, any less and I'll bide my time. Looks fantastic graphical though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I thought that neogaf video had already been shot down due to some clever editing, and to be fair I'd love to see the split of MGS 4, that must have been a 20 hour game with about 4/5 hrs gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm guessing here (Pete?) reviewers will put it on easy and purposely smash their way through it Tends to be the case for initial play through, then revisit completed levels on a harder difficulty when possible.

When you've got a game that is about as long as CoD's with no online it's not great value unless you plan to trade it in within a few weeks.

dubbs Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Maybe trading in quickly is the way to go on this one? Can't understand why a game wouldn't have co-op or something extra if the main story is relatively short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always just looked like GoW mixed with Underworld in a Victorian setting. I'm not sure why The Order got so hyped either. It always looked shit gameplay-wise. The review reception is pretty much on par with what I expected it to get. I'm actually getting pretty sick of these AAA game devs and publishers throwing this crap out the door at us, thinking pretty looks will win us over. It's happened with pretty much every exclusive so far this generation. They've all been dressed up dogshit. The only thing I'm holding out hope for is Bloodborne based entirely on the pedigree behind it and nothing more.

There hasn't been a real stand out game yet even something like Drive Club gets the big sell. Reviews make it sound like a full price Telltale game without the charm.

Czechlad Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Why is this console so expensive? It's considerably more than the xbox one. I could buy a game and a meal with the difference. I really want this system, but why haven't ps4 adjusted their price to match the xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still outselling it over most of the world so I assume they're not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 i think with most of the other features they've added they are basing it on everyone being online rather than sat in each others houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs more, and I don't see any real feature that would convince someone to purchase the ps4 instead of the xbox one. You'd think that the considerably cheaper console would be the more sought after one especially if they are nearly identical now. One redeeming factor for playstation was that the ps network was free, but they took that away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 disagree about there being no real features that put it ahead of the xbone - PS4 has a higher spec - they are indie games which a lot of people dont like but there are at a guess more games on ps4 - playstation plus, despite it all being indie games, is still miles better than free with xbox - playstation now, playstation tv (which i think in the states at least is now free with a PS4 and PSN+ 12 month package) project morpheus - remote play, the reason i love my ps4, both on my vita and psTV, its great - the 1 disc online multiplayer thing, which i think at the start blew people away personally ive got no interest in kinect or any of the tv features that xbone offers all that said i still think the PS4 is benefiting from that E3 showing, microsoft got it so wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
