Ryse was hyped up due to it's graphics and it was made by Crytek as an "exclusive". It had an "awe" factor to bring in the new gen and a reputable developer.
The Order, though? Previews were mixed (some said things like "I'd play the game if the final release is like what I played, others said things like "what happened to the gameplay?) and it got delayed, so the general reaction was "uh oh, guess it needs to be 'fixed'" not "OMG can't wait!". I won't deny, though, the "hype" that came as a reaction to the recent negative press, with people trying to justify the length of the game (and it didn't hurt that the game looks good, graphically, to supplement the reaction). But this isn't the same as legitimate hype and anticipation, is it?
Either way, I said, time and again, The Order was gonna be mediocre because Ready at Dawn was unproven. And I was right.
