| vkaraujo said: To be fair, the dislike bar is not about the game itself, but about the review. Like you and Curl already agreed, there is hate/hype for the game on that like/dislike, but that's not all. For example, very early the reviewer disregards criticism about the lack of MP or having too much cinematic, just because the game wasn't advertised with those features in the first place. While it is great that SONY or RAD didn't lied about the game during marketing, what would let vulnerable to sue, people can still complain about what is and isn't in game. Overall the reviewer sounded really defensive to me, stating more than once that the negatives reviews about the game are flawed and wasting the first 5 minutes doing damage control, instead of actually reviewing it. From my point of view, that review deserves to be disliked even if the game was good. |
Well, I obviously can't know for sure, but I made a comfortable guess that many of those dislikers didn't watch the whole 17 minutes, or even much of the video at all.
So, he begins by addressing the meta-reviews, and the overall hostility The Order receives. Frankly, I don't blame him for that. It's relevant to the subject and he counters the negativity well, though I have to criticize him for letting it drag on by quoting so many people...
Secondly, you can't really judge a game based off of what it clearly wasn't intended to be, and the devs' vision simply never included multiplayer. That's that. Now, on the subject of cinematics and their quantity within The Order, well the reviewer actually made it one of his cons. He took a point off "length" for excess cinematics, and a point off "overall appeal" for lack of complete value (or the price not being justified for what you get).
Lastly, I normally don't like people saying "reviews are wrong" because it's like saying other people's opinions are incorrect and that's illogical. However, this guy points out a few that indeed fail at stating fact, as in, they say something along the lines of "The Order isn't what they said it would be", and the reviewer proves those untrue. With that, let me say that I haven't played The Order yet and thus I currently don't have an opinion of it.
