I meant review scores.

I should clarify, I'm not trying to say any one rating is more legit than the other, just looking at the reasons why, which in my view don't invalidate the opinions themselves. For example, you're allowed to like or dislike a game cos you like/dislike the genre or the console.

There have been many games both exclusive and multiplat that get bad reviews On psn.  your average gamer doesn't give a shit about console warz. 

This idea that your average playstation player defends his exclusives is pure paranoia and straight up wrong. 

I didn't say the average player defended exclusives. But hardcore fans often do, and I don't think their influence here can be entirely discounted. 

At any rate, I'll agree to disagree, as I'll be out on a work camp for the next few days and won't be able to continue this discussion.

Sure dude, let me break it down for you. All you have to do is compare a review that discusses all the aspects of the game, against this one. http://www.digitaltrends.com/game-reviews/the-order-1886-review/

Clearly, this review kept telling us the same thing, that it is bad and bland, but no examples. Opinions alone doesn't make a review. Hope this helps.

You're helping them to get more clicks

Don't forget this gem:

Cheatcodecentral

The Order: 1886 (64/100) - The premise is solid, the graphics are great, the voice casting is excellent, but in the end you have to ask yourself, are we buying games to watch them or to play them?

The Walking Dead (100/100) - Simply put, The Walking Dead from Telltale Games is a shining example of what interactive media should be.

"Reviews are useful"

Reviews are opinions.

I won't be able to continue this as I'll be without internet for the next few days so I'm sum up; claims of a "smear campaign" are paranoid delusion. Just accept that reviewers don't agree with you, and stop worrying about what others think if it bothers you so. You'll be happier.

Do we really need another order defence thread? like really? At this point we are all aware that if we don't see the order as anything other than amazing we are wrong and clearly have an agenda. I mean that's the only reason anyone could find criticism with this game.

We get it.Time to move on. Bloodorne is coming and we all have to start downplaying that don't we. /s

There is nothing to downplay Bloodborne. And there is no downplaying The Order, the game speaks for itself.

I know, I should have put a sarcasm marker on my post lol

Gonna feel uncomfortable and awkward around here if Bloodborne is too good and escapes all the hate. It'll be like walking with no legs.

But all signs are pointing toward Bloodborne really being good and really escaping the hate. It gets "hate" from me for being too hard for my skill set, but I am objective enough to realize that the problem lies in me, and not in the game.
