Funny enough, this game makes me think of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, only this one is sixty bucks.


Good comparison. Seconded

No kidding. Starbucks here I come.

And to think I wasn't hipster enough.

If you want to go full hipster, saunter into a Brooklyn artisanal cafe, wearing a fedora, Decembrists t-shirt, and pink overalls.

You'll find me not there.

I think that's a little too hipster, even for me.

I'll just sit here and do espresso shots each time someone uses the word "smear" in this thread. I'll be dead come morning.

Or you'll live forever with a resting heart rate of 5x10^12 BPM lol.

The first user review there is from someone that gave the game a 10 saying that it is so beautiful he cried his eyes out and that it cures bad eyesight and that he pooped himself while playing it. If that doesn't say a lot about people giving the game 10's for no reason as well then nothing will. It goes both ways, people are giving it 0's for no reason and people are giving it 10's for no reason as well.

So you're making an example because of one review?! Way to stay objective. And BTW if you had actually played the game you'd know the graphics are unlike everything we have ever seen to date, so yes...eye watering is a good explanation.


It's not just one review. You can look for yourself and find plenty more user reviews like that. Also you tell me to stay objective but then say that using "eye watering" is a good explanation?

As it pertains to this thread, a smear campaign would be a systematic, calculated and coordinated plan by reviewers and gamers to soil the name of The Order by posting misinformation and lies.

The reality though is people just had issues with the game.

Thanks for answering my Q! That sounds quite ridiculous to be honest. Why would reviewers be out to falsely put down this game? Makes little sense to me. From reviews I have heard, they say a lot of positive things about it, but cover the shortcomings too. I find it odd that people are claiming others are against the Order and seemingly disregard any negative comments people say about the Order, as if the game is flawless.

lAngry Joe's review made the game look like crap. Is he part of the smear campaign?


No, but he is looking for hits just like a few other websites. People aren't going to your site if you give screamride a 4/10.
