Well those are the real hardcore trolls, if it goes below 70 it will become pretty widespread, vgchartz will have quite a few bans if that happens.

Below 70 is what I am expecting. Even The Order thread on gaf that was positive has turned sour. I see the game getting panned for the following

• AI is supposedly lacking
• The game is short
• The game is linear
• The game does not have multiplayer
• QTEs
• Insta-fail stealth sections

Well if all that is true then it's pretty disappointing. But don't forget you are supposedly able to speed run through all of the God of War games in about 3 or 4 hours, but I've never been able to get through a God of War game in less than 12. On my first run through. So if the major criticism is length then I will probably ignore that. If the other major criticisim is more cutscenes than gameplay, well that will only be bad if the voice acting is bad and the story is lame. Otherwise I'll be OK with a lot of cut scenes for a first play through. But it does reduce replayability.

But in all of that greyed out text you don't mention people crapping on the gameplay, aside from that there isn't much of it. So has there been any word on whether the gameplay is good?

This hate is becoming crazy, people buying a game just to rush it and troll on internet

PS4 at 11 and Xb one at 25 is pretty much the biggest spread int he hourly chart all month.

Nice to see The Order cracking into the top 10 even if only temporarily.

I wasn't going to buy The Order until the end of the year or next year. But if it appears to be getting unfair trolling on the internet I might have to pick it up more or less straight away so I can from my own opinion on it.

Yeah, and that's mainly why I think reviewers are worthless.  I'm sure they're great people, but it's like before they even start a game, let's come up with every meaningless reason we can mark a game down, and start from basically a 50.  That's idiotic.  A game that never meant to have MP in it, should not be reviewed lower, simply because it doesn't have MP.  I consider that a faulty review policy.  Because let's face it, we rarely (if ever) see a MP/SP game, where the overall score is marked down because the MP clearly took away from the SP experience...if that were the case, CoD would probably rank somewhere in the high 3's.

I do, however, think it's appropriate to be a bit more critical on the SP elements, since the dev team didn't have to worry about split focus between SP/MP.

After read this any doubt i had about the metascore of this game is gonne.

And the reason is pretty clear,RAD is trying to pretend that this game is something it isn't.

They're trying to make the game look like Uncharted but everytime they show something,the game looks more and more like Heavy Rain.

And that is not a problem as long as RAD come and say to us: "It's an interactive movie!"

Reviewers will trash this game cause they will play expecting a TLOU/Uncharted kind of game and will end with a QTE/cutscenes fest.

Very possible, I must say that I myself am playing with the thought of just watching the thing on Youtube now, when before I was thinking of picking it up when I have a PS4 (though probably not for full price), but I'm still holding of on making that decision.

It is always extremely hard to decide who to trust at this point, there are people out there just trying to shit on the game (I for example highly doubt that a normal player is going to clear the game in the time that dude with the youtube playthrough did, he may have just rushed through it to have the first full playthrough online) but there are definitely also people out there just trying to defend the game as well, I think this one user on Neogaf that played the game already (theman2k) and gave his thoughts on it is probably the one I'd trust the most right now, he gave a lot of criticism but said that overall the good still outweighs the bad, almost everything else seems way to extreme at the moment. So user impression are still up in the air.

But like I said, I feel that the premise of the game is great and the potential is definitely there, so I just hope that RAD at gets a chance to make a sequel for this. I think AC might be a good comparison here, the first game is considered pretty mediocre as far as I know, but the second one build on it thus became way better.

What I've read is that the gameplay is solid, but not mindblowing or perfect.

I think the order will be fine its over 10 hours completing it 100% I heard so its not like short short
plus metal gear solid ground zeroes can be 100% completed in 5 hours and that has a green metacritic score
