No thanks.  I would rather hang out on a gaming site...discussing about  a game.

As do most games with "deep stories"... The said games should have this informative sign on the jacket:

But isn't it what the movie industry is force feeding their consumers, who in return eat without complaining, special effects filled flicks with epilectic inducing action rhythm! Viewers can't think, they don't have time to think & digest what they are seeing, if they had time to do so they would leave the theatre. I saw Boyhood last month & what struck me was the impecable rhythm of the movie, not having the movie being forced down my throat was really great, having the time to ponder, think & become part of the protagonists lives was a wonderfull experience, wonderfull Linklater movie as always, to me its best effort so far. On the other hand it's all about the emotion & adrenaline, nothing about the content or brains except the ones being squashed on the screen.

The same recipe is being applied to gaming, effects, action, qte, less gameplay & no time to look at the sauce being served all wrapped in a shiny package of hype & marketing, pre-digested & ready to swallow!

No thanks, I like my Zelda, HL, Portal,  games... give me gameplay 1st, then we can talk!!!

Agreed, it doesn't even reach any of the heights of "art in gaming" like those set by wii-music

There's nothing to get. Like all games, there's those who like it and those who don't like it. Normally the great games have few people not liking it, which isn't the case so I'd say the game is not that good based on thar. But like I said a person individually can still like a game most don't.

Anyway I feel people need to stop talking about this game. It had more hate/love/damage control/reassurance/lenght/what it's supposed to be discussions than any other game, or maybe all other games combined last year. Just stop with it. Enjoy your game and don't care if others do. Maybe some of those haters are missing out ons something that maybe they'd enjoy it if they tried it.

Hate it or love it, people should stop trying to force opinions on other people.

It will have a good first week and will crash hard after that, its already #93 on amazon top 100 games (Dragon Ball Xenoverse was released 4 days later and is still hanging on number 28, Dying Light another new IP from late january at #103).

Thanks God cause The Order is a terrible, generic, boring game with a cliche story. I finished in 6 hours but you can only play it for 3 hours cause RAD wanted to make a movie not a game.

Can we please cut out any and all "movie" comments please. It was old before it even started; and more and we will moderate.

tagging. Interested in your take on the game once you're finished with it.

I did look at angy joes review even if I wanted to stay away from spoilers. He showed a lycan "gun fight" that was REALLY REALLY bad (the lycan basically charges, then runs back the charges then runs back repeat, no variation, no nothing, very poorly done). And then he showed a gunfight in which the AI controlled companion did NOTHING AT ALL except hide behind cover. These two sequences but especially the lycan thing can turn someone like me off. Detail in the world, fine, excellent. Shit detail in a fight? crap

You are absolutely correct, and I'm glad you decided to actually play it for yourself and cast the negative internet clickbait agenda aside. c:

I wouldnt be surprised if Microsoft fanned the flames. What exclusives does Microsoft have for the first 9 months in 2015? All M$ had to do is start a few sparks everywhere to feed the trolls and a fire ensues. 

But don't worry, the thing that matters is the sales of the game. I believe/hope it is going to sell 3mil or more, with ps4 being the console war leader, it is quite possible. And if they sell this number, there is a good chance for a sequel to come out. And then we will have another franchise that is much like Uncharted to enjoy.
