Nope, as more gameplay footage came out people just boasted about The Order's graphics. At best people cautiously optimistic about gameplay because Sony was involved (I'm sure people will now downplay Sony's involvement).

People didn't really boast about The Order's gameplay because it looked like an average galley shooter. Which is Sony's fault, they chose uninteresting footage. Bungie did the same thing with Destiny.

Regardless of what your edit in my post says, you're rewriting history.

Few were boasting about Ryse when they saw it was a QTE fest. However, when people finally played the game it was a more enjoyable experience than anticipated.

Feel free to disagree with me but I believe Sony was more deceptive about what type of game The Order was. I think they wanted people to think it had a bigger focus on gameplay than it actually did. Which is why a lot of shooting fans played it and have been disappointed.

I felt Sony's marketing for Beyond: Two Souls was also a little deceptive. There is a scene in the end of this TV ad that I naturally assumed was part of the game. But it was was just a scene from the ending, you don't actually learn what that's about. I genuinely felt mislead by Sony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9omMUrm05Dw

Fixed that for ya. ;)

Well, whatever you need to tell yourself about The Order. I think most of us here understand it was hyped. I think common sense would tell most judging by the amount of discussion generated by the game and its content and its reviews that the hype was there. Otherwise no one would give a shit.

Kind of like.... Ryse. No one cared when it got 6/10. Before there could be a build up of huge hype like The Order, people saw gameplay of Ryse and knew exactly what to expect. You can thank Sony for building up all that Order hype and for the negativity when people realized just what little there actually was to the game. And yes, positive or negative, discussion and buzz is all hype. One day you will learn :)

Again, it's just perception and expectation. We all knew what Ryse was before we played it. There is no persecution complex amongst Ryse owners, believing there is some hidden agenda behind low scores. Meanwhile lots more was expected of The Order. Now you constantly see conspiracy theories about clickbait and people just not "getting it" and reviewers purposely scoring it low to protest the style of game, even though those same reviewers score good versions of that style like Walking Dead pretty well.

I also just realized the answer to the thread is yes. Will Bloodborne be smeared like The Order? Yes. Because The Order was not smeared at all. It's a very flawed game and deserves the scores it got. Bloodborne will also deserve the scores it gets, as people have had nothing but praise for it and we know more of what we are getting with that game.

Puggsly is exactly right regarding the marketing of the game, too. That was a big mistake by Sony, though thanks to a drought in games in a huge userbase, they'll still probably sell a good amount of units of the game.

Gamers in general will say it's too difficult or not play it but say it's too difficult anyway. 

well I just beat The Order and have to say a 7 is about right for this game. Game starts off slow and pretty boring, but from the middle of the game towards the end,it picks itself up imo

Well, judging by the developer's reputation, I expect Bloodborne to be difficult. That's why I'm not going anywhere near it.

Looks like some of us have a bad habit of downplaying every PS exclusive. But whatever you say God Of War >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bayonetta in terms of EVERYTHING about the games.

Thing is Watch Dogs is nowhere near as good as The Order: 1886, atleast for me. I didn't have much ype for it, but it was just bad in many ways, and its biggest draw which was the hacking wasn't actually that fun to use.
