Forums - Sony Discussion - The Order 1886 Review Thread - Meta: 66

I read gamespot's Kirby review first today (5/10), was terribly disappointed, and then was quite relieved to find that nearly everyone else was giving it a 100%-80%.

I then read gamespot's Order review (also 5/10), expected to find the same improvement elsewhere... And was sorely disappointed lol

This looks like one I'll pick up used for $15 in a couple years.

Guys, the game is bad. Let's just move on. And yes we don't have to play a game to "know" it's bad.
There is knowledge a priori

It's just dumb to tell people to fork up 60 just so they can validate their opinion when we all know the game isn't going to be worth it.

and that "knowlegde" is based on which factors?

Huh?  How can a broken game be fun and have replay value when it is...idk...broken?


Huh? Not completely meaning only certain parts of a game like online gaming.

So explain the logic behind reviewers giving high remarks for a portion of the game that is unplayable.  How can you review and score something so highly when you dont have the ability to review it in the first place?

Based on the meta review of the game?

Exactly what real gamers were expecting. You could see from the very start this would be another boring TPS with a QTE fetish. But most gamers somehow automatically correlate beautiful graphics to a great experience: it does not.


That is why so many defended it & still do!

This game shows exactly the pit the gaming industry is falling in: Shiny-shiny but crappy-crappy.

It's been a while that eyecandy has been the main break or make factor for videogames.

Gamers jump in mass into the hype pool, blinded by the visual eyecandy so devs abuse & cultivate this easy way of marketing/hyping games that rely heavily on graphic technical aspects (good technicians) rather than creative gameplay mechanics (good game designers), with propaganda focusing on the wrapping hiding the substance under the rug.

How gamers conditioned to react to eyecandy will now hype themselves if they can't rely on the graphic factor? That's why so many are defending it despite the evidence. The consensual metric is being proved flawed!

This time it seems the wine despite a good looking bottle, was more vinegar than a good vintage!

Will lessons be learned?

Gameplay > graphics! Always!!!

Can say the same with MS with Ryse.


well its 3rd party and MS havent been banging on about 1080p 60fps at exec level on a regualr basis (for obvious reasons)


Nope, they are more on the 720p=1080p Train.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Most likely renting this game. Not worth buying a game with such a poor gameplay, story and stupid AI.

The only good thing about the game like digital foundry said is that it actually looks as good as some pre-rendered movies and in real time, so graphics are 11/10
