You can't tell me with a straight face these games got criticism like The Order. Uncharted, TLOU and Bloodborne get praise and some cautious criticism. Nothing out of the ordinary, as games on other platforms get too. The Order gets critcised like Watchdogs or Alien Colonial Marines. OK, maybe the latter was worse (for good reason).

Uncharted and specially TLOU are constantly called interactive movies, QTE-fests, "story with crappy gameplay", etc. Pretty much the same narrative as The Order. The main difference this time around is

a) The Order looks better than any PC game so instead of drawing only other console players it also attracted the ire of the Virgin Master Race.

b) PS4 is kicking ass and taking names, so both Nintendo and Xbox fans reinforce the narrative mentioned above because they are being sore losers. With the Wii and 360's success back when U1 was released, the same criticism was there but given the circumstances people just did it less because they were not "bothered by the PS3". By the time TLOU was released, things were already intensifying because PS3 was #1 and still gets trashed almost on a daily basis.

Sorry, no. Just look at the number and intesity of threads here about The Order. In no way were TLOU and Uncharted comparable and they are bigger games. Look at the reception of Bloodborne. This all says also this is not a thing about PS4.
