| Euphoria14 said: Played it and finished it Sunday night. I enjoyed it all the way through and I actually enjoyed the story. My only real gripe is that it feels more like a prologue. If the game gets a sequel, which I hope it does, that is where things will really begin kicking into high gear. Whether you find a 7-9 hour game to be worth $60 is entirely up to you. Personally, I didn't mind since I enjoyed those hours. |
Yeah, that's my feeling as well. I absolutely hated the first hour or so as it seemed to confirm every complaint I'd read about the game. But once it got going, I enjoyed it a lot despite some truly boneheaded design decisions here and there.
It's rare that you see a game take itself as seriously as The Order does. It is so damned earnest. There is nothing tongue in cheek about it at all, no snappy one liners or references to internet memes. I don't know that I'd say the story is that good, but the characters definitely are. They are among the most believeable I've ever seen in a game.
The gunplay is a ton of fun, too. I only wish there were more of it. Hopefully RAD will get a chance to do a sequel, because if they takes the criticisms about pacing and QTEs on board The Order: 1887 could really be something special. It'd be a real shame if the mixed reception translates into poor sales and deprives them of that chance.
