Eh, don't feel bad. They made one of the few things the suits are willing to dish out tens of millions for and I'm sure they gave it their best shot, all things considered. Live by the AAA, die by the AAA.
They're as trapped on this path as the dweebs who think stuff like that is the height of modern video game entertainment.

It sounds like from those posts that they had a general and somewhat detailed concept for the world but no idea what to do with it really. Kinda like how Ass Creed sorta went insane after the first game planted all the seeds of the "world."

Dishonored has a bit of that problem.

I was kinda interested in the Order back when it was first revealed, not because of the game itself but cause RAD made some cool God of War games.   :fbm Then more footage came out and I realized that game wasn't for me. I don't have that much shooter experience under my belt, but even I could tell that what little game play the Order had in the trailers was as vanilla TPS as it could be. Eat Lead: Return of Matt Hazard looked more exciting back in 2003.

PC gamers can be such a pathetic bunch lol.

It must make them so mad that some people actually like mobile games.

Honestly it does make me a bit sad to see all the kids in my family, pretty much only playing f2p shit on iPads and such. Not that I care about them or how they use their time, but I want to still play some vidya games every now and then, and not have the whole market disappear to that.  :obama

Knack, Kaz, Beanie, LBP, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, and The Order avatars everywhere

a telling sign of how "strong" PS exclusives have been the past couple years

bloodborne, please save me

I'm still shocked people even give a shit about LBP anymore.

Well I didn't play LBP2, so I would be interested in playing it again sometime soon. I quite enjoyed the first.

Now Knack, that game annoys me just by looking at it. I haven't tried it, that Knack character alone is enough for me to know I never want to play it. and why does people have it as avatars. Fucking GAF

A liittle dead dog's vagina. My friends cut it out and agreed to pay for a sandwich afterwards. I was a very poor 12 year old boy.

Quote
In my country they just kill the dog, tore it to pieces,cook it and sell it in side these deep fried flour made balls called rellenos. Theyre fucking incredible. You have to be careful though, one time I got one with a long, fat hair on it and puked my ass out.

Quote
I know how you feel op. My 13 year old cousin was in love with me. I knew that because my family was teasing me because they saw her crying with a photo of me because she had not seen me in a week and later cause she told me. I was 22 at the time, just out of a relationship and depressed. At a new years eve i was alone in the balcony, sort of drunk with tears in my eyes then all of suddenly she kissed me and I kissed her back. We started feeling each other up but suddenly we heard someone coming. It wasnt her it was my aunt. We stopped. My cousin always visits us once a week so for the following months we would sneak around to make out and I teached her how to pleasure me. I always asked her if she wanted to do this and she said yes. It took a while for her to let me eat her too. We were happy just being with one another.

One day I came to a realization that this was wrong. I explained to her how much I loved her but that I was her cousin and she was a beautiful girl that should have a boyfriend outside her family. She cried and said she wouldnt go away so I started being distant with her. She texted me constantly, began cutting herself and began fighting because she thought I had found someone else. I saw how much it was bothering her so I began to be closer to her as a friend. She began to hate me. Everytime I went to talk to her she wouldnt respond like she was erasing me from existence. I thought she had found someone else and even though it made me feel angry It was for the greater good. Believe me when I say the air is not right between us ever since. I am a piece of shit. I fucked up her life. All because I am weak.

Don't get me wrong: You're a free (wo)man and able to do what you want. But IIRC you came out as transgender(?), and OPA doesn't seem like the place that would go over well. I dunno why anyone would post there with that sort of "hate." Then again, same for the subreddit thing.

Quote from: PeakPointMatrix
All you people in school or without full time work and responsibilities or a SO will one day see these games as a godsend. I just can't do these 15-20 hour games anymore. It took me 4 and a half months to find the time to beat TLoU.

If I saw three films in a theater back to back, or purchased 3 blurays, the cost and runtime would be the equivalent play time/dollar ratio spent on this game.

3 theater tickets = $65 for 5-6hrs of content (that you can't replay)

3 new Blurays = $50-$60 for 5-6hrs of content

New Game that 5-7 Hours long = $60

I dont understand the uproar over "short" games, when the cost/content ratio is the same for other newly released media. Especially when, like I mentioned before, a life full of responsibilities prevents me from playing games that are any longer then 5 to 7 hours.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=152203289&postcount=580

 :bow The Order :bow2


Or you could play the 20 hour game for the same amount of time you would play the 6 hour one each night, until you beat it?   :derp

While true: I don't think most people want to spend 2-3 months on a 20-40 hour title due to job/obligations. I have like 10+ titles I need to play off Steam
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yes, I know I'm stupid for buying them before I'm done with stuff
[close]
but I generally will boot up Battlefield or whatever shooter I have because it's faster, I can play it in small chunks, and feel like I'm "progressing" faster than those longer JRPG/RPG titles.

That's not a knock against those titles. It's just the shorter bite-sized chunks are pretty much what some people/older gaming base want because they can feel like they completed them faster than the longer ones.

You're right. This is what kept me from getting into The Wire. 60 hours of content just to finish the series? Fuck that noise. This is why I stick to 6 episode British series, or shows that were canceled after one season. I feel like I make more progress and can finish them faster.

That's not my point and you know it, Mr. Smartass. The thing is: Longer games take more time investment than the TV shows. TV shows can be seen and have recaps of "previous on..." to where you can go 1-2 months without watching it and still "get it." If you drop a JRPG/RPG for months and forget about the story and what you were doing, it's nearly impossible to get back onto the story and gameplay/etc.

Plus, you can't exactly "binge watch" a 20 hour game in the same 20 hours it would take a TV show due to TV show formats being 30-45 mins a pop versus the gameplay/filler/etc of a game.

So The Order puts gameplay on the back burner in order to be a cinematic, story-driven experience about an ancient order of knights hunting werewolves in Victorian London, but it doesn't even tell a good storyline?

Personally, I think it harkens back to Metal Gear Solid in terms of pacing, to Killzone 2 for its gunplay theatricality, and to Vanquish, for its replayability.

I guess it depends on the game. Generally I play about 2-3 hours a night when I get a new game. I'd finish The Order in two days.

I'm playing Resident Evil Remaster right now, and I think I'm at about 9 hours, just having cleared the cabin. Probably another 4-5 hours left. I'm taking my time, solving the puzzles without a guide, and a length of 10-15 hours is just right.

5 hours is just so fucking short. That isn't even enough time for the systems to evolve, for new weapons to be introduced, or for really fuck awesome endgame levels.

Well, like I said before: Is the game fun? Because if it is it can be a 12-hour campaign a la Uncharted and I'll be happy as hell. If it's 30-80 hours and still fun, I'm game. The problem is that some people put value on the hours-to-complete without asking the "yeah, but is it fun?" But I can't really fault the "short games are better for me" crowd because those people may be working 35-40 hours a week come home and simply want to have a "movie-game" like experience a la the Order or Uncharted and are completely fine with that gameplay. Whereas, to get the same "experience" from something like Final Fantasy, you need to invest a week or so depending on your schedule and how busy you are.

Like, I got Persona Q back in... November? and I'm still on the third dungeon even on the easiest difficulty because I've got a few other things (and playing FPS as that's my primary genre and not really a handheld person) going on to where it's taking me longer than say, someone like Demi who's primary genre is J/RPG's and willing to sink a lot of time into them in a "shorter amount of time"/longer play sessions.

Brothers also had no one complaining about the length because it was $15 and up front with what you were getting (Except the emotional dick punch at the end of the game). It's the same with the Telltale stuff. You can drop some cash on the first episode and if you are hooked, pay for the rest and it's worked out pretty well for them (Though I dropped the cash on The Walking Dead S2 and got bored after Chapter 2 because of the glacial pace. The Wolf Among Us was so much better). The Order is a $60 game that's five hours and no re-playability, no co-op, no multi, no NG+, Nowt. And people are defending it. Even Ryse had a basic horde mode. Or the GOATs of short games, Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta 2 had tons of easter eggs and additional content to unlock by replaying it. Boss fights and enemy placements would change up depending on difficulty as well as it had some thought put into it. It's what makes the stanning for The Order so patently ridiculous. It's demonstrated it's a five hours one and done production and people want to defend it by using examples that had much more re-playability. 

Also, Order ending spoilers again but :dead :dead :dead

No matter the length, brothers was shit. Molyneux levels of pathetic emotional moment attempts, and it wasn't fun to play either, and the art style was ugly as fuck, and they spoke fucking simmish. Why did I play through that thing. I could have spent that time watching efukt videos.

Oh my  :lol

I have nothing against The Order, but it has been delicious seeing the Sony Drones go out to bat for a game that didn't really need the attention other than being a Sony exclusive. Once again kudos to the Order astroturfing team on Gaf. Loudninja,DarkLordMalik,nib95. 100s of new Jr members, Stellar job lads.

The damage control currently being executed on Gaf is breathtaking, we even have mods who should be unbiased and above this doing 'cleanup' work in threads deleting dissenting opinions. I do wonder how many gaffers have already brought the digital version and are getting buyers remorse and can't just cancel their pre order now.

And to think we haven't even gotten to the reviews yet.

It's kind of hilarious that Angry Birds has more actual gameplay in it than The Order does. Yet those people that vehemently decry mobile gaming as the cancer of gaming will never acknowledge it.

Angry Birds has also been giving new levels and such for free for years!

Partisanship...

I don't play console games nor have I bought a short PC game. Honestly if you're constantly buying videogames for $60 you deserve an L, whether the game is 5 hours or 10+. Waste of money. If I'm going to buy a game at full price it's going to at least be a long term investment though. I put hundreds of hours into StarCraft (1 and 2), a hundred into D3 before throwing it in the bushes, etc; I didn't buy Skyrim at full price but it would have been worth it.

also, as a big Wolfenstein series fan,  that game was aiight, not some beckon for determining another game's value

Welp, there's that: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=152282171&postcount=1268

So there's a new run on YT with a guy who's picking up all the collectibles he comes across and is checking out every corner of the map. Comparing his total runtime up to the same point in his most recent upload with the guy who skipped all the collectibles and didn't check every corner, he's only ahead by 25 minutes.

The previous excuse they held onto was that the 5 hour vid was him rushing through the game, and this guy is looking for collectibles and his playtime isn't much longer apparently.  This to be expected since this is a corridor shooter, but still  :lol at the excuses falling apart so quickly.

gaf impressions™ official op yesterday:

The Order 1886 is for lovers of old fashioned single player experiences. For those who want to see strong efforts in storytelling-focused games make a comeback. It's a highly curated museum piece for old-timey, story driven videogames, and if you cherish having a collection of finely produced games, then that's the value of The Order in a nutshell. If you're excited for a strong new IP with endless possibilities and want to see RAD put out new iterations of this level of quality, then give them the nod. I already have.

That's not really the point. The game is brimming with brilliance but it's like the story was commissioned or something.

It's puzzling. I've been super torn about it. I shouldn't have to wait for a sequel to get the cherry on top this needs.

I think we should focus on finding out what happened during the development of the game.

Did they run out of time? Where there massive rewrites? Maybe they had this huge vision that ended up getting hugely compromised. Because there's a smoking gun and that's how bold and confident the scriptwriting is. Really good dialogue that sadly falls flat.

Edit:

And also the acting and direction are top fucking notch, so it makes absolutely zero sense. I'm so torn I'm getting whiplash. Lol

I better just let it slide for a while until more people provide their takes.


holy fuck this guy has no clue that he's playing a cinematic piece of shit.  bad at gameplay and story...at this point the only thing he appreciates are the graphics, voice acting, and the potential for a sequel or prequel that makes the first $60 game make sense and validates its existence.  Denial and bargaining :lol 

I think we've found this gen's Lair.

800+ posts and counting about how long your video game will last. Arguments, video breakdowns, multi-quotes, anger, bannings, name calling...
Over the motherfucking length of a video game. Has this hobby always been this goddamn embarrassing?

Speaking of which...how long before Sony stans, defenders of gamer rights, champions against corporate greed...start supporting pushes to kill "let's play" content on youtube/twitch/etc. Anyone who has seen or heard about that playthrough has to think twice about buying this shitty game. So when the NPD after the next one* comes out and shows the game bombed, expect them to blame the vidoes.

*I say the next one because the first NPD for the game will get the inevitable "the game was only out for x days in the month, doesn't count!" defense

That dude is bang on. That's exactly what it'll be. I'm buying the fucking thing and I have no issues admitting that. It's a launch game in spirit, if not in timing. Can't believe the shit it's causing.

They were already on a quest to kill Metacritic after the tepid critical response to Driveclub showed in it's metacritic and the game bombed (And the press said it was still a bad game after the weather patch which made them even more irate). See the massive championing of Eurogamer's decision to kill review scores for example. I'd imagine Lets Plays wouldn't be too far behind if it shows how bad AAA releases are.

Also now people are turning around and blaming Sony for not being up front with the length too

The game won't flop, it'll be propped up by the fanboys easily.  There hasn't been a big release in months, and with this much on the line, they'll show up in droves to make sure this is a relative success. They bought the unadulterated shitty games such as Killzone and Infamous already this gen, this game will be no different.

Infamous PS4 wasn't bad from what I played of it. This thing looks like a legit mess though.
