Your post is confusing....if they have been getting critizied from the begnining(or early as you stated) then why would they think that hte game being ps4 exclusive would espace harsh critics and vocal fans? So they thought they game would espace what it was already getting?

I'll break it down.

1. The early criticisms were regarding gameplay, but imo R@D thought by continually improving graphics it would ease the gameplay concerns.

2. Despite plenty of oppotunities for criticsm ps4 developers haven't been criticized. even the indie devs. Merely being associated with Xb1 has warranted a public outcry, but not even close for being on the ps4/sony team. This is the first for someone on team ps4 and by that I mean criticism of this magnitude.

Okay gotcha. So now the question is has anyone been actually complaining about the gameplay like they were skeptical about early on? The issue early on was that people had not really seen gameplay. So are they saying  the gameplay is bad? Because if not then I still don't get the issue and or even why your brought up graphics. I am asking because I am still trying to find what the issue is people are having with this game.

And as for the second point forget about being a PS4 developer what game has REALLY received the critisim this game has had from start to finish whether it be a PS4/XB1/Wii U game? I can't think of a single one. Now there have been people vocal about games in the past(infmaous, KZ, Titanfall, Sunset overdrive etc) but the negative critisim this game has received through and through is crazy imo.

Well lets see. Early gameplay impressions of this game were extremely negative so the game starts getting hate.

Later impressions of this game are negative as well so the game continues to get hate.

People actually start playing the final product and a lot of people don't like what they see when they watch those gameplay videos so the game gets more hate.

Regardless people are really overexaggerating the hate this game is getting. Evolve, Assassin's Creed Unity, Destiny, etc. got as much if not more hate than this game. It's just that they are multiplatform so fanboys don't really care that those games get torn to shreds.

Fortunatly for The Order 1886, it is an exclusive and exclusives for any platform will often be defended regardless of mediocritiy. (Example Ryse for the XB1, Knack for the PS4). I can't even imagine the backlash this game would have had it been a multiplatform so fanboys would have no reason to defend it.

I'm not trying to say that people can't enjoy this type of experience but a lot of gamers are getting frustrated that this is what triple A games have been turning into so obviously they will try and create a big backlash whenever stuff like this comes out.

The part in bold I think is the biggest issue with the lead up to launch. By that I mean that the impressions from people WATCHING the game don't match up with the impressions of the people PLAYING the game. The general consensus from people who have played the game thus far is pretty much "good game, not great, but good". The impression from people who watched a walkthrough on YT is "terrible game".

Watching a game on YT is NOT the same as playing a game.
