Nope, I didn't say every game should look like the Order, I didn't even say that I would only play or value games that look like it.

But you said like only 60fps are worth... Every game is a matter of resources... So if a game can be 1080p30fps or 720p60fps more times I'll choose the first option. And if a game would be 1080p60fps it probably is cutting on other IQ itens. I will choose what I preffer based on the intended game, several times 60fps doesn't matter, and how do we know that? We have been playing 30fps games without much hassle in diverse genres for several gen. But sure, you must know the prefference for everyone and how much better 60fps is that no one can play bellow it or think the gain is negible and preffer the resources are used in other places, and because of that your rule should be definitive and everyone need to adhere.

 

Indeed. And i think 60fps should be the basis to start from. Not the one that gets sacrificed first. Because for me, what matters more in a game is smooth gameplay. The choice or AI or objects or whatever should come at the cost of resolution and not FPS. But alas... "everyone" prefers a shiny game over a responsive one. Blame me for defending that a game that plays better is preferable to a game that looks better.

You can defend whatever you like, the right you don't have is to say your taste is the more relevant and should be the rule. There are multiple markets, buy whatever you like and ignore what you don't want, but don't keep preaching to others that your taste is better than others and everyone should like what you like.

I was refearing to the games having bugs that interfere with gameplay, frequent crashes, freeses, some other wierd stuf etc. Te oRder is remarkbly devoid of bugs. And thats quite frequent on the gaming world we live in, games come out with throngs of rather anoyinh bugs.

Ppl give Bethesda a pass for it being Bethesda, I never did. i think its an absurd they are allowed time and time again to release games with some very serious bugs and other technical difficultys just because its Bethesda and ppl love Elder Scrolls.

About Crysis I played it (despite kinda hating FPS games, I played it cause it looked amazing and I wanted ot see what all the fuss was about) from memory I cant recall if it does in fact looks better than the Order, the Order has some more advanced systems tough, specialy regarding reflection, but if does look better than the Order than thats 1 game to count as being technicaly superior, specialy because it was also almost devoid of bugs. I never played Crysis 1 and 2 so i cant realy say anything about them. And i seriouly cant think of a console game that looks as amazing as Order did.

But I think you missed the OPs overall point, even with some games looking the same or better the games that look like this are still very infrequent, the Order as a showcase of what we can expect in the future workd rather well, and for being as technically sound as it was should have gotten a little more recognition. Giving a game like this a score as low as a 3 is just wrong, the game isnt broken, on the countrary it runs super smoothly. Imagine if Star Citzen comes out and it turns out the game is not very fun (but isnt exactly bad either) on the gameplay departement and it has s simple story but one that works. All of a suden rewievers start giving it 3s. You look at the game however and its gorgeous as fck and has 0 bugs. You gota ask yourself "what the hell are these reviewers thinkin ?". "Ye this is not the best game on the planet, it has its flaws, but they arent recognizing the games strengths at all either".  Thats pretty much the point here 



And for those that ran into issues I;m sure they didn't exist or don't matter, again whenever I see someone running into a bug or error you're always and I mean always going to be met with Joe bloggs who goes "huh I never had this bug" in a topic board about solving bug problems. Just because you or someone else didn't run into any doesn't mean the game is factucally the most perfect product in all of existence.

I know you didn't give them a free pass because I was there reading the articles and the forum topics on F4 when you had your left and rights with them, the thing is even though Beth games clearly aren't perfect (or to a form two of you on here are comfortable with), people still enjoy them and regard them as good games and of course on a platform like PC you can mod those out at times or work around them which makes such a method valid (because PC can do it and consoles can't doesn't make it any less valid).

EH I find the first Crysis has aged somewhat, with TO you have advanced character models, lip and bodily movement from the year it was crafted while Crysis was way back into last gen times. Reflection is still nice to look at (I;m actually a sucker for water and it's physics in most games). Crysis 1 still looks the partk, at least compared to 2 and then 3 (apparently 3 is weaker than the series according to fan speak I've learned over the years and I can't think of why).

I do get the point, it's that I don't agree with it all that much, yes I see it as a showcase but a showcase for what the consoles could do this gen or the next, for PC we just have to wait for the enxt Crysis type game to come around and that is looking to be shared between KCD, SC and Eve Valkyrie. With PC you don't really need a showcase from a console exclusive game because we already know what the PC is capable of because at the end of the day it's technically down to you to meet what the game asks, with a console you don't need to adhere to any sort of demand, that's what the console creators have to adhere to and they have to for a number of years and when we get a game like TO we see the results of what can happen now and what we can expect in the future.

See I can admit TO looks great and has the sound and looks about it, the same goes for Battlefront, the engine blows my mind how detailed the forests of Endor or how real the ice looks like on Hoth, the sound is nailed almost to a T but the gameplay modes and lack of SP or any other story just makes the game fall short and I guess when we look into TO it's story somehow fell a bit short for some reviewers to warrant a score, some picking on sound literally sounds silly to me.

I do think Sony should take a stab at making a move based on TO, that way if they make it all CGI and make another installment, the two could easily go hand in hand and create immersion since one is borrowing film elements while the other is actually a film itself (I thought that's what most film game devs were wanting to reach anyway).

 

As for SC, I'm mostly drawn to it's SP experience due to having actors like Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, Gillian Anderson and Andy Serkis. I will give the MP portion of the game a try though but only with people I know absed on how insurance for your ships works with the game (I'd rather not lose my ships since GTA V taught me that randoms love to ruin your fancy vehicles and know you have to pay high insurance).

Human senses arent perfect so a game which will always rely on your senses can never be perfect yes but the can be bug free.

Yeah but because you didn't see a bug doesn't mean they don't exist within the game because no dev is a perfect human being. You can look at the worlds touted "perfect" sculpture but someone on the planet will find inaccuracies with it, it's why we've evolved all sort of tech through time because I bet you each time we've all gone with "wow this first mobile phone is perfect for my needs, this first automobile" etc and yet we still went on from there and made better tech in a venture to "perfect" nearly everything because that's what we are more or less as a species, always trying to perfect as much as possible and strive towards perfection but we never will because we're imperfect to begin with so a game is also likely to be imperfect and have the odd few bugs.

We can debate all day about what is and isn't perfect but we are not a perfect species and as a result nothing we make will ever truly be perfect, especially in the eyes of everyone.

The thing is, even for PCs games that look like SC, EV, KCD, The Order or Crysis (on its own time) are very rare, theyre all showcases of the future, on PC case not realy a gen further cause PCs dont have actual gens, but how many ppl could run Crysis and make it look like it was suposed to look when it released. Even many years after it released we still have more game sthat dont look like that than games that do. I believe that a game that manages to be this far ahead of its time technically should have its merits.

Batlefront is gorgoues as hell, thats a fact. One of the most beautfull games Ive sean. I dindt play much of it tough, only a bit at my friends, my dislike of FPSs would make it impossible for me to realy like it anyway.

I believe you meant a movie ? Ye that could work but I doubt itd draw enought interest to be profitable, itd be a mature movie and the fact that its an animation would be associated with somethign for kids, when it relay isnt, and them parents wouldnt understand why it wasnt for kids and stuf.

Oh yeah we do have less crysis looking games out there for sure but the thing for those games is that they don't come cheap and require time and good dev teams and we really don't get many of those that pull off crysis/TO games a lot of the time, if they could then we'd see a lot more these days, some devs don't even see good visuals as having to focus on real based styles which is why the indie scene that boomed over the past 5 years has largely kept focus with unique art styles or various engines old and new.

I play it daily though the PC version's community is basically on deaths door and it's not the fault of the users that's caused such an issue to happen but due to the gameplay, lack of sp, lack of an actual server browser etc. I still play like I said but it gets tedious trying to find matches but when I do get in some I do always stop a moment to admire some of the scenery.

Well TO has those black bars which basically stem from the film industry, TO also borrowed some camera work and looks they implimented with the game and in general it gives off a very movie esque look and feel to it (as opposed to tie in move games that are based from movies themselves). I feel that if Sony went via a CGI route and used a studio like Ready at Dawn to work on the movie and use RAD to work on the game, the two could make a seamless franchise where you are immersed in both the game and the movie, when you leave the cinema you switch on your PS4 and jump right back in but at a different time and place from the movie but still tied to events that will or have occured in the movie. That's the sort of thing we haven't really seen with video games, most movie tie in based games have their own made up plot and use not so great devs which is why those games end up flopping.

Grow up. Until Dawn knew what it was and lived up to the hype. The Order focused on presentation and forgot it was a game. Until Dawn knew it was a game and used presentation (graphics/atmosphere/motion control) to enhance the game-play and immersion. Until Dawn is a much better game in all aspects.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

i have enjoy both game but Until dawn > order 1886 for me !



I enjoyed it for the gorgeous AA used. Gameplay was so secondary to me.

I enjoyed the order 1886. 

 

Graphics, atmosphere, voice acting(I thought was superb and usually overlooked), story and the gameplay was good (not great but rarely are games perfect gameplay). I enjoyed the linear story as well. I don't need every game to be an open world fetch questapalloozza. 

 

I wish is hit had been multiplat so it'd of not been so vehemently attacked and I'd get to play a part 2 but that's not the way the chips fell.

edit:  it should have been talked more about how well this game worked bug free as well by the press which is rare this gen.  

 

A point which is sad we have to praise. MGS5 is also an example but nobody talks about it. And I too fear it is Xbots and Nintendy's who are attacking this game. Reviewers go with popular opinio these days or whatever the personalities are praising. Halo 5, 4 hour story...Where is the justice there...

 

Yes, The Order 1886 has got to be one of the top games despised by those who've never played it.  Typically they switch to "I watched it on YouTube" which says it all really. 
It's not perfect but no game is.  It was bug free. 

I have bought games that were practically unplayable that got higher scores than the order. That's ridiculous. 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.
