Thats also not reffering to the youtube video, but instead a psnprofiles user where people are calculating time between the first trophy and game completion trophy, which obviously isnt accurate since we dont know when the first trophy was obtained, the commenter says "less than 5 hours", actually according to the trophies its 4 hours 52 minutes, and his first trophy was "Kill 5 enemies with a headshot during Blacksight" and not just a simple "you sat through the intro here have a trophy for that" thing.


Im aware of that too.  

CEO "Its impossible to beat in that time"

^  If he is talking about 5 hours and it can be beat in 5 hours, would that not be false advertisement publicly telling people its impossible?  

youre swinging between comments all over the place here.

The interview where he says "its impossible to beat in that time" was conducted a week ago, when rumors were going around claiming 2-3 hours, the 5 hours thing only started a few days ago, first from the pstrophies website, where the user later posted on their forums to say he played for quite a while before he got the first trophy - and then the youtube video of the walkthrough.

Given that the only time related rumors going around at the time the "impossible" comment was made, was 2-3 hours, Im not really seeing how that is lying.

Next up the facebook comment regarding less than 5 hours, "Strange indeed - also not true." And it isnt, because theyre using trophy unlock times, not actual game time.

And lastly, the twitter note that he wont be commenting further on completion times, which is just in general.

The only thing that interest me is that the guy is banned from youtube because he showed his playtrough of the game... kind of sad..

If the game had an embargo on footage (which it almost certainly would have) then it's understandable that he'd get banned. Especially since YT would count every one of those videos as individual offences (though if he had no prior warnings he might be able to argue it as one big offence, in which case they would unban him and put him right to his last warning).

And it's not like anyone else on GAF or elsewhere who claim to have played it as well accused him of cutting parts. The only thing people are saying is that he "rushed" and didn't pick up collectibles.

The Dev saying what he did is impossible is honestly pretty lolz


They should've decided to not respond, tbh. This is even more worse than saying nothing as they discredit the youtube guy and make him look like a liar while they should know how much hours their on game takes.

That said, GAFers who reported 10+ hours gameplay had nothing they could prove their time. The only proof was/is on youtube for everyone to check.

If the Dev has nothing to hide and knows the length is longer than the youtube walkthrough, then why not just tell us and squish all these talks bout its length. Its better ot be honest and just say it then trying to hide it . Whens the review embargo over for this game?

Yet another thread about The Order's run length. Yet another thread filled with Xbox guys who never had interest in the game in the first place. It is sad how much some people want to hate this game. This game has always been fair game for criticism, but a fourth thread on the exact same subject is overkill. I do wonder what reasons people really have for hating this game.

The game clearly isn't very long. Depending on how you play, it may take you anywhere between 5 and 10 hours from the sounds of it. If you don't like the sound of that, don't buy it and move on. If you don't like linear games and if you don't like games with a story focus, don't buy it and move on.

 

Because that never happens the other way around ever right? Let's not pretend like people commenting on something they don't intend to buy is some new thing and The Order is falling victim to an unparalled hate campaign or some crap like that. This is standard fare with exclusives (regardless of platforms), and even multiplatform games as well for that matter (of course nobody gets bent out of shape when it happens to them because hell they're not exclusive so who really cares if they get bashed right).

This game simply happens to appear to have quite a few shortcomings and people wanna talk about it cus that's just what people do.

While the console logs the dates trophies were obtained, unreleased games that havent had the server side support for said trophies activated yet don't unlock and show on trophy tracking sites until the server side supports enabled.

If you get a review copy early, or even a retail copy too far ahead of street date, unlocking trophies works locally but doesnt show when you attempt to trophy sync.

So while he got the trophies on feb 4th, they wouldnt have shown up on the site until a few days later.



Lock: There is confusion on if this comment is about 3 hours or 5 hours which is a big difference on what can be or is "false Advertisement". Until there is proof on what the comment was referring to im going to ask this to be locked

So where are all the other people who would talk about the length? Or is this talk not wanted because [fill in arbitrary reasons here]? We had threads now about it and there are people who still dismiss the fact that there was an actual video of the game while other numbers were just stated, not proved.

And you will never prevent people from talking about games, this happens to all games on all consoles, whether you like it or not.

Sure, currently, people only talk about its length but there will be a DF thread where people can talk about the tech used in that game and a review thread where everyone can talk about how biased reviewers are nowadays. Until then it's up to mods to lock these threads or to keep it open.

This is the fourth thread on the exact same subject. People can talk about the game all they want, but someone making a thread on this games apparent length, waiting for the thread to die off, and then someone making the thread again with the exact same intention is ridiculous. 

But of course you can hate the game all you want. And you will.  As will the usual people. Obviously, the potential of games on other consoles failing is very appealing to a great deal of people. Seems sad to me.



Locking as per request (I think for sure this time!)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
