DialgaMarine said: I'm really not trying to be a fanboy here, but I can't help but notice that people are so quick to bash it for not being revolutionary or genre defining, yet will praise games like NSMB, DKCTF, MK8, Halo, CoD, etc., to no end. There's a clear double standard, not only amongst fanboys (that one's been obvious), but amongst the people who actually get paid to do gaming journalism, and The Order has proven that fact. |
No, it's no double standard. All the games you named got higher review scores. And it is surely no coincidence you named games exclusive to or usually connected to Nintendo and Microsoft-platforms, but also Uncharted and TLOU got much higher reviews. There is no conspiracy against the game, it just isn't matching the standards for a game of this time. Nothing wrong with some people liking it anyway, I also like Unepic and it got scored in the 60s. But that some people like it, doesn't mean reviewers should give it a free pass.
