The damage control is real.

I was hoping for 80 in the metacritic but 65 is disappointing... I have to say until now this gen has been terrible, except for the WiiU which delivered.



Whilst I dont think The Order is a great game, I find it funny that Metal Gear Solid 4 was given 10/10 by many media outlets even though the cinematic cutscenes were much more frequent and longer in that game. No media outlet really made much of a fuss about that...



Why does the title still say 66? The OP has been online since the change.



Well, played through first 4 chapters, it took me about 2 hours. So far, it is OK, apart from one thing - I could have done without shooting. Not that there is much of it.
First off, let me repeat myself from my previous The Order posts, made before I played it, so I could only state the absolutes: I really like cinematic games, I really like story-heavy games, I do not mind QTEs, I am fine with short games. I really like TPSs, and the setting of this game is very interesting to me. I really wanted and expected to love this game.

Then I started playing TO, and after the first 1/4 I can say that 65 meta is perfectly justified. I would give it 6/10 - max.
Graphics are fantastic (but then again it is the least important aspect for me), story is interesting, the concept exciting....if only they stopped interrupting the story with occasional moments of ushering me into the a semi-open plaza to shoot some guys.
I said I don't mind QTEs, but is it really necessary to give me a prompt every single time I need to dodge a lycan, every time I need to do anything really.
I honestly would have preferred this game to have been a Telltale style adventure, if they couldn't make up their minds on what to make of it.
I will finish the game, but so far I am so unimpressed, and a little insulted - it treats me as an Alzheimer patient. I remember it's X to jump over the ledge, no need to remind me all the time. I remember it's X to dodge, I remember how to pick a lock...

I'm very disappointed with the way they ruined a very promising concept. So 6/10 is fair...

Does it bother you?

If so then why?  I'm sure he'll update it soon

Well its a pretty popular thread. So yeah, being incorrect in the title isn't ok to me.

Its been like a day since its been 65.



Game trailers reckoned that not being able to see Sir Galahad's reflection in a mirror is a game bug. I think maybe it isn't a game bug, if you get my meaning.

@jlmurph2 66 / 65 it's hardly something to get upset about. It's not like the title is claiming that the game has received amazing reviews. Sure it should be correct in relatively real time, but it's no biggie considering it's only 1 point different.

Just a pet peeve of mine I guess. Maybe it isn't that serious. Oh well.
