Oh boy, might not even hit the 72-75 I was predicting.

Today will be a fun day.

Current page on Metacritic. Image cuts off the Gamespot review which gave it a 50.



Also doing a little rudementary Maths puts the game in the 67 area on Metacritic currently.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Bad scores all around!



Polygon gave it a 55 and Digital Spy a 60.

Damn how the hell do they fuck up so badly, delusions in development or not enough goodies for reviewers.

I'm seeing reviews saying the game takes around 6 hours to complete, Videogamer clocked in just over 5 hours 30 minutes in their review.

If people were interested.


I say this in all honesty: I feel bad for the people who actually believed what some guys said on other forums about the length. We had proof that the game can be finished in less than 10 hours comfortably, without missing anything. What is even more surprising to me is that RAD themselves came out and felt the need to comment on the length which is now even more surprising as we see now how it turns out.

No matter how much one might not like review sites or youtube or whatever there is to ignore, it was written on the wall before. And it's especially short when you consider how much of this time you are only part of the game in a cutscene.

I hope other games now don't follow this trend and devs see that cinematic games might be a goal but that The Order was overdoing it in terms of cutscene:gameplay ratio and a border has exceeded this time.

The blood bath begins. Can't say it's not justified...
