I still don't understand. If they believe the game is legitimately terrible why is slamming it bad? You afraid it'll hurt the games feelings? The way you put it it sounds like they're calling it doodoo head and stuff.

It seems like both the gameplay and story is bland as well.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
here we have a shit post of the month contender
the question will be if they recoup the cost, if the whole thing took 5 years to make

I guess we're doing this then. Wait up Brute, I have to grab my knife.
I loved Knack. And Ryse. I'm sorry, but they were both a breath of fresh air and I'd buy sequels. This game will be the same.
I do feel media was just looking forward to hammering this one, they may even have been drooling.
I still don't understand why. The game never advertised itself as anything other than what it is, part of me feels it's backlash against traditional game design because people were foolish enough to believe in 'next gen gameplay'.
The 6's and 7's seem about right, some of the comments made though smell of sticking the boot in for the joy of it. Same thing that happened to Ryse really, but with added vitriol.
I really want some good single player story based games, which aren't open world. Not sure I want this one, but the market is definitely there. MP and open world are instant turnoffs for me now.

believe me, from a statistical standpoint it's bad test design. Unless the test is just questioning your ability to memorize and not apply your gained knowledge, you need to have harder questions. If your question-difficulty is too low and you compensate by a higher pass-percentage-mark (like the said 69% instead of 50%) then your data is unreliable because there is too much luck(reading a question or answer wrong for example) involved ...unless of course, you also compensate by having a LOT MORE questions, which is just an incompetent waste of time.

People calling for Shuhei to be let go or resign, I really don't think you're seeing this correctly. Sure, you can look at it from the perspective of low reviews for exclusives meaning quality has been down in the first salvos of the Ps4.
But the Ps4 is killing it in sales, and sales for these mediocre scoring games have been good if I am remembering right. Perhaps this won't last and the poor receptions will catch up to them if not corrected soon (Bloodborne let's go!) but it'd be unlikely for him to be fired right now, even if he is a beneficiary of success he had little to do with.
That, and the dude is just likable. That counts for something too.

I give up. No one understands anymore. If everyone wants to encourage a environment where cynicism is rewarded and happiness is insulted.
It really is true... Being nice is hard, being angry/hateful is easy.

"I liked these games because they were new, fresh things. I hope they exploit the IP by making more."
that was great! thanks for headsup

When life gives you lemons make lemonade. If you get a powerful graphics engine make a great looking game.
Some part of me feels like they were given this massive creative idea or genius idea to make a game like this and it was impressing the team so much that they were fascinated by how good it looks until that took control of the project. Don't quote me on that.
maybe they had a good day with the VO talent. I haven't played it yet, but this is what I think could do anything some harm in an interactive environment. Maybe the mocapping went extremely well and the guys were like, "hey this is pretty good".
What would you have Kotaku's writers do? Be dishonest about their opinions?

No offence but TB is in no position to act like a saint considering his past. This tweet was nothing but cringeworthy.
I sure wouldn't want to be one of The Order dev that worked hard on this game for 5 years, only to see all their work getting bashed to hell and beyond within an hour. I genuinely feel sorry for them.

Lol, holy shit man. RAD is a fine team with a good track record. If anything they can take all this in and re-focus for a new project.

lmao don't hold back
I remember you were so hyped for the game. Great GIF
This is fucked up?
Not implementing micro transactions into full priced games? Altering the pacing to ensure some players will fall for it?
Slicing a game for day 1 dlc and pre-order bonus?
Or in thus specific case pulling shit like cinematic experience in 30fps and massive black bars?

I read through some of this thread and can't help but notice the tone of so much of it is like... excitement that it got the scores it got. I don't get it.
Also, those tweets from the journalists are so cringe worthy my face hurts. That some petty shit.

You should learn to be more respectful. This is their life. They worked hard on it for years. Not liking it is fine, but these petty bullshit insults make you look very, very bad.

Some of the reviews do seem rabbid, some seem fair. I guess I won't be able to say any further until I play it. Reviews should always be taken with a grain of salt I suppose. I mean I can't say anything about say the Metro's individual contributers, but I would rate the Metro as a 4/10 quality paper at best. Its free and it is pretty junk.

? The tweet had some very good advice.
Unfortunately no matter of his "past" the tweet is 100% correct. So what made you cringe?

Lot of quality junior posts over the last few weeks it seems.
The poor review scores that "The Order: 1888" has received are a clear indication that the developers both unintelligent and forgetful. Those developers that aren't unintelligent, if there actually are any, should resign.
Did I get that right?

People with sordid pasts are often in the best position to tell you how to handle something based on their past experiences.

No, people want an environment where scepticism is encouraged, and hype is mocked.

Apparently there's a mid-credits scene.
very few reviewers use averages or something like you are using.
Yeah, I wanted them to lie. There is absolutely no middle ground whatsoever between lying and calling something shit.
No matter what, they have an amazing engine to leverage for future projects...
Imagine a Mass Effect style RPG done with this...
Point. Proved.

I think people should really stop saying this.
But it's a videogame. That has gameplay.
You're not the first to suggest this, but you're every bit as wrong as everyone else who suggested it. The success of Walking Dead and TLOU illustrates that the press/media are very open to those types of games. The Borderlands story-driven game just released to much higher acclaim than the traditional shooter Borderlands title.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
I do think there's something inherently wrong with games media. Perhaps it's just that reviews are written by underpaid 20-something guys who are more or less in cahoots with the industry to get better paid gigs. Perhaps it's something else. But if there's anything this backlash against a game (that may or may not deserve it, I do still think it'll contribute to the conversation more than certain other games) that I'd like to play it's that it's going to drop in price quicker than most titles this year. And I never pay full-price for games these days so it means I'll enjoy it sooner.

Yes because making a sequel is exploiting the IP right?
In case its not obvious, it isn't.

But in written form they're lambasting games because of inadequate elements to the game, so might as well use the example I provided, because it's exactly what they're doing in other words. Scoring well in many of the categories only to end up with a lower or very low score in comparison makes no sense. Sure, it may be in writing, but lay out the quantities like that.
Just my two cents.

Scepticism isn't synonymous with negativity, and hype is not equivalent to happiness. I think you need to work a bit harder on your proof, sport.
