| platformmaster918 said: Depends on what kind of backlash. If you're talking about people insulting the fact that it is cinematic (black bars, cutscenes, QTE) or that is a linear TPS with cover mechanics then no that's just dumb because it's a bunch of reviewers who grew up with a certain type of game not wanting to get anything different (there's plenty of traditional games coming The Order won't change that). If you're talking about people who have problems with the story or the shooting mechanics, then sure that's reasonable criticism. I'll wait till I play to agree with them or not but if they don't like it they don't like it. At least they're not insulting it for being a part of a sub-genre they don't like. |
I think you're wrong on this one. You accuse critics of not wanting somthing different, but maybe the developers just didn't failed to execute their vision well.
Try watching the IGN video review. The black bars do appear to get in the way of the cover shooting mechanics. The scenes where you just walk and listen to dialogue can be boring, I know this from Gears. QTEs have been in games for many years now and are rarely done well.
Unfortunately, The Order seems to fail at being an interesting shooter and "interactive drama." But it still might be worth playing, I enjoyed Ryse and that had its own issues. But we can't expect great score for underwhelming experiences.
