The problem with The Order, from what I saw at least, is that there were legit complaints and worries about the game, and the developers did nothing to try and calm those claims down except make them worse. Especially with dumb remarks such as "Internet bullies". Especially since there were people with legit complaints that apparently the developers think as just "Jumping on a hate bandwagon". There was also a comment they made somewhere about a $100 steak or something. If someone were to say something about the length of the game, they would have a swarm of people defending the game and with no real answer to believe. It's all looks even worse in the end for the developers as well considering all the remarks that they said, then just to have their game have a 65 on metacritic. In the end obviously the reviews don't matter, if someone enjoys the game and doesn't mind if it's short then that's good for them, no review is going to change that for them since it's all up to opinion. |
Unfortunately, there's no accountability and a lot of fanboy regurgitation.
If a review is honest and makes credible points, then there is merit in that review. When people writes review that say, "Game has the best graphics on a console, story is decent, gameplay is okay, too many QTEs, and not really better or worse than anything out there right now...0," they make no sense. The developers probably fanned the flames, but it won them a ridiculous amount of media awareness, so maybe they don't care. No press is bad press?
