It's 79% on metacritic which is pretty bad considering the inflation of scores.

Not incorrect when there are games that scored much higher. Besides, you haven't played the Order, so you don't know how similar it is to Wolfenstein. 3 sites out of tens of thousands named it goty, so what?

1. You said, and I quote "almost no one considered Wolefstien game of the year contender". Which is incorrect.

2. I brought up Wolfenstein to bring up a point. There are those that are complaining that The Order is short and that a large chunk of the game was cutscenes. This is based on a LP were the game was beaten in 5.5 hours. So, I mentioned that the most popular LP for Wolfenstein is only 7.25 hours long and cutscenes make up nearly 40% of that time.

The issue there is that the average play time for Wolfenstein is like 13 hours, just like so far the average play time for the Order has been between 8 and 12 hours.

Though, as Kerotan said. They are both single player only, linear shooters.


I'd like to forward point number 2 to LudicrousSpeed.  Basically what I said. I Could beat Wolfenstein in under 7 hours and as you say 40% are cutscenes.  There is really no beating around the bush. The order is being unfairly criticised before its even released for reasons that many of these same people didn't hold against other games.  Why are they doing it? That's another question altogether.
