But to be fair that game also had a new game+ and let you bring a weapon from your previous playthrough and included the chrysler building. There was replayability built into it. The order did not do this.

As someone whose played and replayed that game a ridiculous number of times over the years...NG+ is kind of awful in it. None of the regular enemies will pose any threat whatsoever, and Chrystler building is a boring slog interrupted by the occasional cool boss fight (and a terrible 'true ending' to boot). It's worth doing once, but it was the story and gameplay that kept me coming back to it annually (and not on NG+).


I liked it. It let me go through multiple playthroughs to build up weapons and armor to make a run at the chrysler building if you were not great at the combat. The game itself was excellent, but there were things to do after you beat it. Whether or not you cared for it is opinion but it did exist.

This thread feels like it is just beating a dead horse.

The Order came and went. By most accounts it wasn't a great game, and it wasn't good value for money.

But so many games are not. Lets just move on.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

There are many bigger problems with The Order than length.

Look at the new Wolfenstein. That's the marketing and release style The Order needed. But I think Sony badly needed to recoup something for the five years they spent building this engine and game.



I bought Skyrim for 10€. So... Nope.



Would you pay $10 for a game where you can run around for 1000h and just do menial tasks?

For $1000, I can buy The Order and 15 other 8 hour games at $60, getting me 128 hours of enjoyment.

I haven't played The Order yet (waiting for a price drop), but if the game is enjoyable, then why wouldn't I pay that much for it? Hell, there's people who spend $60 on cosmetic DLC items in a game.



I paid $45 for destiny, played it for 400+ hours and it still got slated.

No?  I'm right there with you which is why I'm getting tired of all the people defending The Order: 1886.  In my opinion $10/hour of gameplay is simply an unacceptable value proposition for gaming.  If the game had come out at a much more reasonable $20-$25 the game wouldn't have received even half the amount of hate that is has.  So the next time you see someone defending this game just ask them the question: "Would you pay $1000 for a 100 hour game?" and get them to explain why $10/hour of gameplay is worth fighting for.

The Order isn't a 100 hour game and it also doesn't cost $1000. If I was to play the order 50 hours or 100 hours I'm still only paying $60 for The Order.

Its one's choice to buy The Order (or any product) and its those choices that keep these practices alive. Saying The Order costs someone $1000 is just a laughable way of pointing out The Orders short campaign.

Portal 1 is only 3-5 hours.
Portal 2 is only 6-8 hours
Donkey Kong Country is about 3-5 hours, tops (all three of them)
Super Mario World is maybe a 4-6 hour game
Super Mario Bros. 3 is maybe 2-3 hours


Length is not directly tied to quality. Fun, however, is.

I don't know about that for those three.  I remember spending months on those as a kid.  Now that I know them like the back of my hand, sure I could blow through them in just a few hours.  As brand new experiences though?  I don't think so.
