The Order: 1886 Is Actually Quite Innovative; it’s Time to Shelve that Boring, Generic Excuse to Bash it

I didn't read any of what you wrote, sorry. From what I have seen, 1886 is a TPS version of Ryse. I actually had very high hopes for the game, but the more I see, the less interested I am. 

It's nothing like Ryse.. Ryse's equivalent of a TPS would be a game where you only use a pistol from start to finish.

 

@wilco, whether you think it's dumb or not is irrelevant, it's not a QTE, and even if it was there's still hardly any QTEs, therefore anyone calling it a QTE fest is straight up lying, as I already said.

I wasn't referring to weapons because really that isn't all that important. If you only had one pistol in the entirty of the game it should make no difference as long as the game is of good quality and the gameplay is designed around it. 

It has the same quicktime events with action buttons followed by linear gameplay that looks to be more cinematic than game where you actually feel you have a choice and become a part of the game instead of just watching it go by. At first it seemed like it could have been a thinking persons game where you are out to track down some killer that is possibly super natural. Play the game your way, act as a sherlock holmes type character with steampunk. The original trailers left so much open and they have ended up making it a game of tunnel vision with little complexity.
