The Order 1886 is Ryse Son of Rome

Completely agree. Both seem to be there to just show off the power of the console. It's absolutely sickening that a company can charge $60 for a 7-10 hour tech demo of which 1-2 hours are cutscenes or QTEs, and still have people defending them.

If both games had been $30, they would have been much easier pills to swallow. As it is, both Sony and Microsoft deserve the ire they are getting at these games, and then some.

Whether you like the game or not, people didnt make it for free.

A games length does not necessarily imply a greater amount of expenditure, but on the other hand, it does take a lot of resources to create a game as technically good as 1886, even if it is 7-10 hours long.

The reality is that investments dont always pay off (especially on new IP's), but im glad Sony keeps investing in new IP's.

Drakes fortune was very similar to this game.. short campaign, no online, linear gameplay.... but look where the uncharted series is now. This is just the beginning for ready at dawn. I'm sure they will use the money from this to build on the engine they have, hire more staff and make something on the level of ND or santa monica.

lol, did you really just compare Uncharted to the Order 1886? Uncharted had much more gameplay and replayability than this game. The Order 1886 is more like a glorified interactable movie.

Not to mention, the price will doubtlessly fall anyway after the negative feedback reahes most consumers. It'll drop steeply in price or be offered free with deals and such just like Ryse was. 

Companies should price their games in a way that reflects content. I don't care how pretty the game is, people don't buy games to be amazed by a technical demo. Ryse and the Order had no business being $60 for less than 10 hours of content, it's highway robbery, and should not be defended. The game would have been received much more warmly and probably still made a profit if it was decently priced. Now the entire franchise is dead in the water before it ever even took off.
