Forums - Sony Discussion - The Order 1886 complete playthrough.(Updated) -The Order 1886 has replayability according to an interview-

 

For games that you buy, how long should that game's duration be? Depends on genre of course.

Minimum 8hrs+ 198 83.19%
 
Minimum 8hrs- 39 16.39%
 
Total:237

We have now many impressions about the game and there are things that are ridiculous by the devs. It even seems they ran out of time in the end given how the last third of the game is done.
Also GAF user rapier who was used in another thread, taking his opinion as a positive, now posted on GAF about the story and this is the exact opposite of “positive“.

I always wonder why people use this argument.

Its like people that buy good, short games think the rest of us are exclusively purchasing shitty long games, instead of...good long games.

The point is that lengthening the game for the sake of doing so isn't always a good idea. Bravely Default comes to mind as it extends itself by a very unwelcome 15-20 hours.

That point I get, and agree with, its the inference that somehow there are two options alone - when clearly a good, long game is preferrable.

Also thanks for the tip, I have been eyeing off Bravely Default at my local store after it got its first price drop...might wait for another!

I was not inferring there are only two options... I was just saying that duration shoukd no be a factor when judging the quality of a game.

There are good short games, bad short games, mediocre short games, as well as long games of the same nature... I was just guving a preference of two extremes.

For example, I really disliked TLOU, as it dragged on forever, it took me two versions and 9 months to finish it. I am certain I would have enjoyed it more had they cut out three hours of plank moving and reduced the number of copy pasted buildings from the middle.

I do understand people not wanting to pay $60 for a short game... I actually shy away from overly long games as I don't play that much to spend three months on it. Dying Light and Far Cry are of ideal length, GTA V was great, but after a while I started skipping all missions except the mandatory ones, I had other games waiting...

BD is still a good game, but it some design and story decisions cause some headaches.

Instead of saying all of that, you coud've just mentioned... Vanquish.

Or Platinumm Games titles. They're short, action packed and fun mostly.

Maybe I could have, but I have never played it. Not really interested in those types of games...

5-hour playing skipped collectors or trophy, but it is far from speedrun. Well, playtime might not a serious matter, the real problem is almost half of them are cannot-skipped cut scenes.

Why is it you go into every single thread about The Order to downplay it? I'm honestly curious. You don't own a PS4. It's clear you don't like Playstation. So why spend so much time and energy on a game that you're probably never going to play, on a system that you have no interest in? You did it earlier with Driveclub and it made no sense then either. It's like it gives you personal joy to see negativity for game that isn't on your console of choice. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

As long as the experiences is great, it doesn't matter how long the game is. I finish Limbi in three hours but would still buy it at full price since its an amazing game. Halo 4 took eight hours to complete and its one of the most fulfilling experiences ever. So the main thing is how good the game is.

The press will have a field day with this game on Feb 20th.

Same thing I posted to walsufnir applies to you too. But I'm pretty sure that you're just a complete idiot so using logic is kind of pointless.
