Will Bloodborne be smeared like the Order: 1886? (Opinion piece)

seriously?  They said black bars, they showed QTE, they said it would be filmic and story focused and all that stuff.  People complain about the same things in previews as they did in reviews.  That shows entirely undeceptive marketing.  Beyond 2 Souls is from the makers of Heavy Rain with the same director.  People knew exactly what it was going to be I mean one scene in an ad is hardly deceptive.  I'm not rewriting anything you are.  Accuse me of whatever you like.  I saw people insult and insult the type of game the Order was going to be.  Then I saw them insult and insult those same things when it finally released.  I see no discrepancy or deception there.

Again, Sony wasn't forthcoming about how much of a cinematic expeirence The Order is. Why? Shooting fans buy more games than fans of niche genres.

In regards to Beyond: Two Souls. I'm arguing a scene from the ending shouldn't be in the TV ad. That leads people (like me) to believe that's something you would actually see during the campaign. Hence, its misleading.

Some of us were arguing The Order looks too cinematic and boring. Others were trying to lead us into believing the game had more focus on gameplay than it actually does. Why was this discussion happening? Because Sony mislead people about what time of game The Order actually is and now there are many disappointed shooting fans. That's part of the reason it got bad reviews, Sony sold it to the wrong audience in hopes of greater profit.

I'm flat out accusing Sony of being decpetive with their marketing of The Order. I'm not trying to convince you, I'm telling you what I believe.

Lol they can't help it if you ration out how much shooting there's going to be in the game.  You can accuse them of whatever you like the bottom line is the game was advertised as a cinematic TPS and that's exactly what it was.  Sometimes there were longer cutscenes and sometimes there were longer firefights.  You can't tell from advertising what the ratio is going to be and anyone who wants to accuse a company of lying because they've tried to do that is just fishing for accusations.  I'm not sure what game you played but after platinuming it I can safely say that it had plenty of shooting to be called a shooter.

Also while I agree they shouldn't spoil the ending of B2S there's no way you could tell it's from the ending so they aren't spoiling it.  It is in the game however so I'm not sure what you're mad about.  What you thought was in there was in there.
