Yes, two of the highest acclaimed games of the last generation referred to as "stink bombs".

Gues it's too hard for some people to realize that some games are great, just not their cup of tea. 

As for the OP. Qwark,I think you're 100% right. I don't see any way in which this game will be well received no matter how good it might. How dare they make linear, cinematic game with qte's!

It's the world we live I wonder if a new lineair IP could still suceed, judging all the hate the order gets form it's own fanbase I guess not. They hate the game for everything which made Uncharted and tlou a great games except the MP. 

It's because the media agrees with that train of thought, so it must be truth.

Me personally, I get bored quickly with open world games. I've always liked linear styled gaming. Only exception is with RPGs and even they can sometimes be linear if they choose to close off specific areas unless some objective is completed first.

Im eagerly awaiting my linear games like The Order and Until Dawn.

Note, they were also commercial successes as well as critical successes

I think it's refreshing to have a nice linear game. All the games I seem to be playing are open world games and without some variety, it gets a bit repetitve. I also want a highly cinematic game from time to time. I'm looking forward to the Order personally, esepcially with Ready at Dawn's PSP track record

QTEs can be good, if they're done right. Uncharted 1 was an example of how to do them wrong, as there are about 3 in the whole game, then you have a QTE boss at the end. God of War is how you do it right

Shadows of Mordor got good review scores despite the QTEs, but I guess since they were msotly constrained to the story that nobody cared about, it was fine

Well it looks terrible. Linearity needs to go and qtes were always a godawful idea. It's a game that wants to be a movie, much like sony's other notable cinematic stink bombs , uncharted and the last of us. Pass.

i enjoy a good game, doesnt matter if its linear or open world. however, i usually find that linear games are more polished and have better set pieces than open world games. they just can focus more on a small area and give you something amazing, then focus on a big area and give you something great. and until dawn isnt linear persey, considering it has multiple endings and you chose your own actions. 

i love red dead redemption, i also love GoW and uncharted. deducting point of a game because of a design choice is the stupidest thing ever, yet it already happened with games like driveclub. 

Doesn't affect me from still buying it though, but I hope this game won't be the beginning of the end for new IP's which want to lineair and thus cinematic, with QTE's while it made games as GOW/Uncharted/TLOU great

It actually just gets hated by the very vocal, yet very minor Internet fanbase that patrol gaming forums.

Real world is always much different.
