Lol I had a feeling that you were on to something when you were explaining what you felt was wrong with the game.


I feel like so much of its failings would have been forgiven in the main stream media if they at least delivered on that one thing that they were actually trying to make good. The one thing that everyone would be buying the game for. How does a story based game fall so short in it's story? Especially when it was set up so well in the begining. (aside from a VERY cliche way to start the game)

66 is bad because 75 is accepted as average.

average = median = half of maximum = 50 out of 100

75 =/= 50 =/= average

accepting something as fact does not necessarily make it true


Fundamental flaw in your logic...neither average nor median are mathematically half of the maximum. Also, when speaking of averages, you should probably use the term "mean", not "median"

The mean is in the middle of all values that have been given, not in the middle of the potential values.

Reviews are a fair way to avoid wasting money on a bad game. It's not the readers fault and such results were expected, given the trailers.


Except that...The game is far from bad here.

Most reviews of The Order are suspiciously unfair to it. I'm at Chapter III and can't understand what's bad in this game for the moment.

Like in football statistic, and in sports in general, you should remove the top and bottom scores to have a more reliable average. There are idiots who gave The Order 20/100, can you imagine ?   Many many reviews are positive, and some even enthusiastic. Matacritic have become a joke lately. I'm not even talking about most of comments here from X1 fans who didn't play the game and have a lot of free time cause there is nothing to play on their XBox.

Your logic is 08/15.

I hope developers get the message : developers! Don't bother making beautiful and sophisticated games like The Order or Evolve, just make slow and ugly games like MH4U, the press approves!

It's almost as if gamers should care more about gameplay than graphics. 

Not like your point stands though. MH4U is on a handheld on the level of the GCN. The Order is on the PS4.

MH4 is veeeeery far from GCN standarts. It's exactly what it was 5 years ago on the PSP. This is lazy graphics like far too often on 3DS. Btw, while should we accept that Nintendo delivers last-gen tech? They should be penalized for failing to deliver decent technology.

Not like your point stands though : I played MH4U at Paris Games Show and that was some horrible gameplay, slow and dull as it can get.

I haven´t played The Order yet, so I´ll reserve judgement...that said, when compared with the first 14 months of the PS3, I´ve been very disappointed with Sony´s 1st/2nd party output during the first 14 months of the PS4.

At least there´s Bloodborne next month and I doubt it´ll disappoint me.

Trust me. Play more. It's a game you have to finish to understand. Even my first impressions were modest.

Though I think bad is the wrong word. Poor, disappointing, and not good are better. Saying a game is bad makes it sound like there's absolutely nothing good. There are exceptional things about The Order.
