This. It's a real shame such a big fuss was made by gamers about the length, it kind of shields the game from its real flaws. It's like Driveclub where a big fuss was made about servers, everyone just assumes that's why it scored "low". But if you read the reviews, not much was made about online issues, but rather deeper flaws in the game itself.

Same situation with The Order. Yeah it's short as hell. But that's ok if the game has good elements and strong replay value. I cannot think of a single redeeming quality of The Order outside of graphics, and it has literally 0 replay value. You're exactly right about generic shooting. And even though there are a couple weapons you get to hold a few times in the game before the narrative rips them away, the laughable AI and terribly small selection of enemy varieties more than cancel them out.

I just read someone say there is a seamless transition from gameplay to cutscene and how this is a "next gen feature". LOL. The cut scenes you cannot skip are the loading screens. Max Payne 3 did this last gen as well, only it eventually let you skip the rest of the cut scene when the game finished loading.

No, people rightfully said the game wasn't good, regardless of length.

Also, I played the game. Not much more to say, really.

You list things as fact that are opinion.  I LOVED the gunplay.  I wish the game had been longer so I could have used them more.  Why is it so hard to understand some people really liked the game and thought it did things well?

I actually was pretty bored the first few hours.  Once the story started going and I got a better feel for the weapons is when I really got into it.  

This coming from the guy who is asking for PSN profile names just so he can check and see if people posting different opinions than his own have even played the game.

As if the only way you could not agree that it's a great game is that you simply did not play it.

Well that is true, but it just feels like the ending comes way too early. If the game was like 2 - 3  hours longer and the story would go on, then I certainly would rate it higher. The game is pretty and some moments are really good, but it's not something special. Really mediocre game all around.

lAngry Joe's review made the game look like crap. Is he part of the smear campaign?

sony should make a free 2-3 hours long dlc that adresses some major complaints before they announce a second part. i like the ip, problem is the name is damaged hard.
same problem with driveclub, but i think dc can make it to a sequel, and the order unfortunately not.

Sony owns the IP, so if there's a sequel, there's no way in hell that it isn't a PS4 exclusive.

Pretty obvious you cherry-picked one thing I have said to back up an arguement that is in no way even relevant.  I had already stated the game had flaws.  I also stated there were valid opinions for those that like it as well as those who didn't.  You can't seem to grasp that some people really liked the game.
