Forums - Sony Discussion - The Order: 1886 - TruckOSaurus' Outdated Reviews

Did they patch the game with a new weapon? I don't recall ever getting that gun. Did they also have an Ant-tank gun?

Pretty much agree with all of your review. It's a real shame that we are not likely to see a sequel that fixes all the bad bits and keeps all the good bits going.

I've never played the game before last weekend but I'm pretty sure it was always there. You only get to use it twice I think, three times maximum which is a shame since it was my favorite gun.

Sneaky stealth edit there I see.  

I always new about the thermite gun, but a termite gun would be very interesting. Though has more of a Ratchet and Clank vibe than a The Order vibe.

You should change the title of the review series to "Bargain Bin Reviews"

That's one of the benefits of having admin powers, I can edit my spelling mistakes even when I'm quoted (that and phenominal cosmic powers... itty bitty living space though)

-------------------

"Bargain Bin Reviews" - I might use that next time around! I won't give you more than 10% of my profits for it though.



Signature goes here!

I thought the lore behind the order itself was rather interesting, though the story the game decided to tell with it felt trite exacerbated by the utterly cliche choice in antagonists.



Also bought this in the BF sale on PSN but still didn't have the time to play it. Nice review.

As to another aspect of the review, re the grumpy old man telling Galahad and co no (it's Sir Galahad by the way, not Lord Galahad), at least we find out there's more of a reason for that than him just being a conservative, old grump and a lame contrivance for galahad to go rogue.

The one thing I find completely unfathomable was how the non-boss lycan fight mechanic made it through to the finished product. I mean who the hell thought it was a well conceived and well thought out combat mechanic? Hell, I struggle to believe that any professional game designer would even come up with that mechanic, let alone cement it into a game. In Uncharted two you had, to all intents and purposes, a warewolf-esque foe that was impossible to engage with hand to hand. And because their run, roll, jump, shoot from the hip mechanic was well designed then it was a good challenge and fun to play.

I agree, I'm guessing the werewolf encounters were supposed to be frigthful but the laughable AI made them a complete joke.

I actually liked The Order. I did always get the feeling the game wasn't what the developer wanted it to be though. I think they ran out of time and just had to throw together whatever they could to try and finish the game.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It doesn't meet the PSN+ minimum metascore criteria, so technically it should never be one of the PSN+ games of the month. I guess we'll see if Sony decides to bend the rules in the case of their own AAA titles. It would finally be a AAA retail PS4 title that makes it on to PSN+ at least.

seems like a stupid rule,some of us like bad games or games reviewers might not dig,

hopefully they give it to us,vgc can have some threads about it

or they'll just have it for free for a month or charge a nominal fee of  1 pound for a month for plussers, can that get round the meta problem
