lol @ smeared. The Order is a bad game. That's why it got most of the scores it got. "Smear" implies another motive.

No, The Order is a masterpiece. The critics are just too dumb to realize it. They can't appreiciate a cinematic masterpiece. Their only concern is having fun. Games aren't about fun.

By the way, did anybody get upset at the critics for giving Ryse modest score? That game had a good story, great visuals, and the gameplay was pretty decent. However, a 6 seemed appropriate for linear experience with little value. I want to play it again down the road yet I still think it deserves a 6.

Ryse is a great point. Just goes to show the difference in expectations and how different fanbases react differently. I dont remember any supposed conspiracy being thrown around about Ryse's scores, or any talk about how the game was just too cinematic for reviewers.

Hell, imho Ryse has a story a thousand times better than The Order, gameplay that is much more rewarding, AND it has much, much higher replay value thanks to the arena mode offline and online. And im still ok with it only scoring a 6. I would give it somewhere between 7 and 8 or so, but i understand some did not like the combat.

And then some have audacity to say there was no hype for The Order lol

Neither had much hype.  The Order and Ryse were blasted pre-release which negates the positive stuff (the stuff that builds hype).  If there's more negative than postitive like there was for both of those then they're not hyped relatively speaking.
