The Order: 1886... Is its backlash good or bad?

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.

I played for hours this morning and black bars are not noticeable at all.  QTEs aren't great but they aren't a negitve either.  They keep you engaged during the cutscenes.  It's an interesting story though I'm just getting to the interesting part so I'll see how it goes from here.

Well people tell me the bars in The Evil Within were a non issue, but they were to me. If I could disable them I would. I genuinely feel they're there for visual polish on a 1080p TV and nothing more.

Anyhow, I'm sure the game is worth a playthrough. Just like Ryse.
