I like the game for what it is. I hope it gets a sequel seeing as the sale figures seems all right to warrent one.

and on that note.

Playstation_prophet --- you do know that reviewers are based on personal preference. Just because they didn't liek , doesn't meant that the game will sell bad because there will people like yourself will buy the game and will enjoy it. Thats not a smear campaign. You can't expect everyone to agree with your taste.

An example is justin bieber. Alot of us will find his music gay and anyone who lves it gay as well, yet it still sells millions regardless on all the hate. Thats because there people who love it. Is that a smear capaign, nope.

i played it and it was average at best and entertaining enough to play through the end. What was mentioned in the review is actually correct about the game


I agree but when reviews lanslide saying a game is too short based on a 5-6 hr playthrough which is incorrect based on my playthough and all playthroughs on Youtube. (You can watch them to verify) I beat Order hard in 9 hrs. I beat Sunset Overdrive in 10. The only difference is I didn't collect 200 pigeons or delivery stuff from a to b 100x endgame. That was an example.

I posted a topic about the lenght and it was deleted because it's not what all reviews said, lol. I'm not asking anyone to believe my posts. Watch Youtube. It all the evidence you need.

The game doesn't take 5 hrs to complete unless doing a speedrun. Every review that mentioned it is bogus and needs to called on it.

There was no smear campaign. A smear campaign is a systematic, coordinated effort to ruin a reputation through slander and vilification.

There's no real evidence that reviewers or the media were attempting to ruin the game's reputation, it simply didn't meet the criteria by which they assess games.

This persecution complex in regards to Sony games has become absurd. There is no conspiracy, Sony just aren't outputting games that measure up to reviewer's standards.


How did a game that was as bad as the media said sell almost 750,000 copies? It was a new IP and limited advertising. Why does 90% of gamers love the game? How did the Order get 2/10 reviews when it was broken and many games before it were? Why was it too linear back in the summer and 10 websites published it? Why did a week before release Youtube videos say the game was five hours long and multiple websites publish it with no mention of it being a speedrun? You can go to Youtube right now and walk walkthroughs. THEY ARE ALL 8-10 HOURS. Etc, etc, etc

Sounds like a smear campaign to me.

Strangely, The Order and Wii Music actually have something in common.

Playstation_prophet --- it took me 7 hours on hard. so probably 5 -6 hours on normal . The game is incredibly easy as Ai really just walk into bullets. The reviewers bah the length as most did it in 7 hours and out that 3 hours was cutscenes and the rest was QTEs and other section involves uncessarily waking slowly on an environment thats not interactive and the fact there was no replayability. Thats why it was bashed. I heard some herebat the game and got platinum in 7 ish hours. I got 75% in hours of playthrough and the trophies wasn't interesting. For SO the normal story is already 10 hours but there are somany side acitivites that you can do after finishing the game which Order doesn't get.


5 hours is possible without speedrun if you play it on normal which is pretty short considerign half or more then that is just watching cutscenes

you cannot measures quality , but you can measures sales, but The Order is not great in sales but decent, but far from fail. So this thread indeed to prove that there is an agenda to downplay The Order.

They do if it's a bad movie.  


The order is a decent game.  


I wasn't trying to call it a bad game.  Just pointing out that value is based on more than just length.  People will definitely complain about spending money on a 2hr movie if they don't enjoy the experience.  I haven't played the order yet, but it sounds like it has more issues than just length.

there are a lot lol, but still if you still belive in what people say (jurnalist ) then i cannot convince u either.

It deserves FAR more, so hopefully more smart people play it for themselves and get immersed into the fantastic world these devs have built.

You don't have any proof of a grand conspiracy. You disagree with the scores, fine. That doesn't mean there's some kind of clandestine agenda in play. Maybe you just have different taste?
