uncharted 4 ( overhyped since the second one ), no man's sky, halo 5.

The Order: 1886 doesn't really count because its hardly being hyped. Preorders are high, but no one is talking about it. The subtle marketing gets little attention. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Overhyped GoTY will most likely be an FPS if the pattern holds up, so CoD, Halo, etc. Uncharted may actually get average reviews. Dunno.

I guses the people who think it will end below 70 are just detractors. Even though it will probably be quite repetitive without much substance it still has its merits as a gogeous showpiece in a setting we don't see as often. For that alone it will come very close to 80.

I don't see why it should be rated much worse than ISS.

ISS had pretty good gameplay to go along with it's great graphics. Its biggest complaint was its weak story. The Order however, from what some previews have said, is only a pretty game so far. I haven't actually seen a preview praising its gameplay and I would expect that it would get a score in the low 70s because of that.

No one is talking about it because we rarely get to see any new footage. But it is and always has been highly anticipated. Hype is not the amount of advertising but the amount of people who anticipate it strongly. I can see it easily selling 1m FW.

I don't think more advertisement and news pieces would increase the current hype very much.

Last time I checked the main complaint of ISS was that it lacked much content and the content it had was quite boring and unimaginative. The subpar quality of the story was to be expected and also doesn't count as much in open world games.

From what I've seen so far from The Order are the same problems as with ISS. Solid gameplay, pretty graphics, not much to do beyond that. The problem of The Order is that it doesn't have the benifit of being an open world game and as such will be rated worse. Its bonus will probably be its uniques setting and probably a solid if not great plot. That will save it from dropping too much below 80.

Halo 5 the thread.

I knew I forgot something about Second Son. It's been a while since I played it.

If The Order ends up getting in the high 70s or better, I'll be surprised and more than satisified. The previews before PSX didn't give me any hope that it would amount to any more than a pretty but shallow game. Also, I still don't think it has enough hype for it to be considered overhyped

The fact that there is even a single person out there who doesn't think that the gameplay looks boring makes it overhyped :P

Actually this game will stand or fall with its story. There is a chance if the story manages to have some captivating characters(a cool villain maybe?) and some well executed plot twists to even land in the mid 80s.

Yeah, The Order is probably getting just as much hype as it should be getting-And if it does turn out to be an average game (at least at launch), I'll be happy it wasn't too hyped. I'm one of the people mildly anticipating it but I wouldn't want it to be drowned with hate and negative media if it doesn't truly deserve it.
