The Order 1886 is a GREAT game.

That would imply it did something new or exceptionally interesting.  It didn't.  This isn't Citizen Kane, a masterpiece snubbed by the Oscars for unconventional and unstylish techniques.  It's a game that did nothing other games hadn't done and was received lukewarmly.  Stop trying to dress it up like a misunderstood masterpiece.  If you like the game, play it and have fun.

Wow, sarcasm does go over some people's head.

I liked the way you ordered me not to do something. That was so cute.

Well, I have learned never to take sarcasm for granted when discussing The Order :P .  I have seriously heard people say things not far from what you did.  My appologies.

But on the second point, that's my advice to anyone who gets too caught up in reviews.  I love Mount and Blade, but the game is not any higher than a 6.5 to 7 for a ton of reasons.  And that's being generous.  I wasn't trying to order around, just trying to make a point:  scores should never preclude having fun with a game.  Sorry if it came off otherwise (and for not catching the joke :P )
