Out of the entire run, what's the longest stretch of gameplay from one cutscene to the next?

The playthrough those times are from was played on Normal.
From the impressions thread:
Perhaps the first 'official' review comment on the length. They got <7 hours, and gave it the equivalent of a 7.5/10

I've never seen such a meticulous analysis of a video game playthrough before. Thank you old chap. This game really brings out the best in people.
I think we should start counting the hours and minutes of actual playtime in all future games. Will help to find out how much worth a game really is.

Regardless, I fully intend on purchasing this game on the 20th in support of games of similar fashion. It's a shame that this franchise and studio may not get an opportunity to greenlight a sequel, despite what looks to be a tremendous effort on their behalf going into the first game.
.You're supporting what kind of games?

Cinematic, single player driven games that don't put multiplayer at the forefront.

I wish we got more single player games without the heavy emphasis of cinematics and/or tacked on multiplayer.

Cinematics have only ever bothered me once, and that is with MGS4.
Too Human was a tremendous effort as well...
If this is how you choose your purchases regardless of quality then I got a huge list of developers that need what is in your wallet.
What exactly are you supporting? $60 games that are short and QTE heavy?

I will purchase this game, however i do feel a little short for full retail price with no replay ability, they could have put a gears of war 5 vs 5 of some kind in there.
I will buy , but i shall be waiting as i don't feel this title is worth more than a Max of £30

As it would be hypocritical for me to say that the game exudes quality when I haven't played it, since I lambasted that in an earlier post, I think I can recognize what has been assuredly tremendous effort put into this game, even if it doesn't meet all of my expectations. I will not bring down an entire game based on a few gripes, especially since these are the types of games I appreciate considerably more in the face of the plethora of open world and multiplayer games.
Since when was the quality of The Order an issue?
You may have subjective opinion what constitutes "quality", but actual length of the game - that heavily depends of the subjective way every player will play the game - shouldn't be attributed to such as primary value, don't you think so?
I think is that his point is that most games take tremendous effort to make. Feel free to support the type of game you like though.

This is quite disingenuous. And please, for the lack of a better way to put it, stop reducing the game to just something that is short and only QTEs.

To be honest- from what I've seen it doesn't do anything particularly well except the graphics. I'm a sucker so I'll prob spend more money on this than I should, but for me to feel good about this at 60 the story needs to be fucking amazing.

I think people forget that games can be simply fun to play. RE4 is my go-to example, as it has a shit story but I enjoy playing it over and over. Granted there are unlockables in multiple runs, but I often play the game just as if it was the first time without any extra weapons. Will this game meet that type of expectation? Probably not. But I am totally capable of replaying games that don't have the best story. From what I've seen I think I will enjoy it here.

Wow, hardcore data compiling. How long did it actually take you to make that? lol
That last chapter though >_>
No no no. And no.
REmake asks upfront if you want a longer game or a shorter and easier one. Nobody can finish their first playthrough in 4 hours if you picked the longer route. It s just not possible because you need to explore it all and figure out not only the puzzles, but enemies and bosses, as well as not losing yourself and managing your ressources blindly. You cant compare speedruns of REmake to that casual playthrough of the order that had 3 hours of gameplay and 2 hours of cutscenes.
Then RE also has a lot of modes as well as two different characters. AND MULTIPLE ENDINGS.
But the best part is, IT IS 20 BUCKS.
Come on. You seriously compared the two. If at least order had story interactivity like heavy rain and beyond, it would get a pass.
But 60 to 70 euros for that ? Nope. 20 to 30 ? Sure.
It s not a game with story branches, and the gameplay is far from a DmC DE that you would replay for challenge and execution.

REmake was once brand new and cost almost as much. Also, the game can be completed in the same amount of time that this game has been shown to be able to be completed on a first run. I would still pay $60 for REmake

I wouldn't mind the long cutscenes if they were skippable. Can you please confirm if they're skippable? I previously read you can't.
-MD-
Member
People with the game confirmed they were unskippable.
I don't get why the metal gear solid games are always an example for short games. It took me at least 15 hours on my initial playthrough of each of them.

People like to throw around "well REmake is a 2 hour game" a lot too when in reality it's an 8-12 hour game for a new player.

Maybe a future patch can fix this. I can only play in spurts so I can't afford to sit through cutscenes.
yep, the new release on PS4 was my first time with RE1 and it took me 12h30min

It's a silly comparison. Those are incredibly meaty games.

But The Order only has three hours of gameplay. That's the whole problem.

I think we just suck at games, to be honest. Everyone else seems to be able to blaze through full titles in half a dozen hours, while even Episode 1 of Life is Strange took me 5 hours alone.

Maybe, because it has many long cut-scenes during a game.
15 hours? I think I played even more hours.

Uggghhh this length discussion is driving me crazy, its just gross at this point. IF THE GAME ISN'T LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO JUSTIFY SPENDING 60 DOLLARS ON IT THEN WAIT FOR THE PRICE TO GO DOWN. PROBLEM FUCKING SOLVED.
Everyone who played the game so far here has enjoyed it, recommends it, and said they would buy a sequel. No one cares though. We can't discuss the game, we can only calculate gameplay time.

Fatality.
There is so much fucking negativity going into this release that how can any reviewer possibly go in with an open mind and review objectively.
Yes it will get burned at the stake... the media has seen to it for months.
The industry is at it's healthiest ever in terms of console sales, and yet it's hit an all time low in other ways. The hate this game is getting makes me sad.
People will review the game based on what the game is. There is no conspiracy or tragedy here.

Resident Evil: Completed in less than 2 1/2 hours.
= lol Less than 2 hours of gameplay. Worst game ever!
Can't understand how I once paid over $120 for that piece of shit.

That just shows the replay value and challenge of The Order, though. RE you can whittle down to under 2 hours - never going to be able to do that with The Order!*
*Due to over two hours of unskippable cutscenes.
I joke. I think it'll be almost like Ryse on Xbox One. Can be completed fairly quickly, but will take most people 10 hours at least. Some speculation there.
