The engineThe hell, this game was in development for 5 years? Just what exactly were they doing?
I can totally understand the game not clicking with people but this is ridiculous. A 4/10 is way too low for this.
Yet you come into a Thread about AngryJoe ?Managed to watch about 2 minutes of it before i wanted to tear my eyes out.
Really can't stand Joe
Except you feel that way anyway because the normal lycans encounters are all exactly the same, crapped space, two or three lycans, everytime. As well as theThe stuff he says about the lycans not showing up enough is just BS IMO. I actually thought that they showed up too much. I mean, if you spent the whole game fighting lycans they would completely lose their mystery and scariness. It'd just be "oh, another pack of lycans, nothing special".
The fact that we spend 95% of the combat fighting humans despite this being the premise, ANDThe Order: 1886 is set in an alternate history London, where an old order of knights keep all of the world safe from half breed monsters, who are a combination of animal and man. In the game's history, around the seventh or eighth centuries a small number of humans took on bestial traits. The majority of humans feared these half-breeds and war broke out. Despite the humans outnumbering the half-breeds, their animal strength gave them the upper hand in centuries of conflict.
Centuries later, humanity finds new hope in King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. King Arthur and his like-minded knights take the fight to the half breeds, but Arthur soon realizes it's a losing battle. Through a mysterious turn of fate, the Knights discover Blackwater, a mystical liquid that significantly extends their lifetimes and gives them remarkable healing abilities. Despite this new advantage, the half-breeds continue to win battle after battle, until the industrial Revolution turns the tide. Engineers are far ahead of their time, inventing technologies such as thermal imaging, Zeppelins, and wireless communications. New weapons belch electricity, ignite clouds of molten metal on top of enemies, and fulfill dual functions as fragmentation grenades and proximity mines.

O.O ....Wow, I wish other people who did the same were this honest about it.Yes, it's like one of those self-torture things. Like when you hate people who take selfies, but find yourself looking at the pictures just so you can get mad. Gotta fuel the hate.
Wow. From that review the game looks like an almost 3/10. How were people enjoying the game in the ot?
Didn't play the game, but by the review, the score is pretty consistent
Also Joe uses the entire scale, so a 4 out of 10 is a below average game... In some sites it would be maybe a 7
I'm on the bus right now so I can't watch, but alright I guess. 4/10 is when my mind wanders to shit like Sonic 06.
Hilarious video. Although, Ryse had replay value and nice multiplayer. AND a fun story.
I knew this was going to be a tech demo as soon as it was revealed.
That's a messed up scale then, since Sonic 06 should be a 1/10.
Pretty sure this will be part of his Most Disappointing Games Of 2015 list.Looks like an early entry into his "Worst top 10 of 2015"
You must not be the sharpest pen in the drawer then, coming in a thread that has "angry joe" in the title e: or just masochist, i suppose
Good review, from all the stuff I've watched and read, sounds like this is how I'd feel about it too

I think its lockedThere is a review thread for this stuff. Don't see why his review deserves it's own thread.
He does not pull any punches though, got to give him credit for that.
But I've played indie games worse than Sonic 06. That game at least had an ending. And functioned, kind of.
Well I guess that's not a suprise.I think its locked
Ryse is every bit as shit as The Order. The sp is repetitive boring trash. "Fun story", "replay value" lol.
Yeah at least it had MP for the twelve dozen people who cared.
Except you feel that way anyway because the normal lycans encounters are all exactly the same, crapped space, two or three lycans, everytime. As well as theThis is the game's setting.two elder lycan boss fights.
The fact that we spend 95% of the combat fighting humans despite this being the premise, ANDis ridiculous.the fact that there is absolutely zero variety in the lycan encounters despite there being so few
Too much resources and times devolved to graphicsHow come they couldn't even do something at least on par with the first Gears of Wars gameplay wise in 2015 ? The AI of enemies (Lycans, WTF ?) and partners were hilarious, and many QTEs made NO sense at all, seriously.
We can argue about the film grain or black bar, but beside that the review is pretty fair and honestly embarrassing for the developper.

It's not even an attitude that every game has to reinvent the wheel. However, when a game has a premise that could it's extremely disappointing to see it squandered with the most by the numbers possible gameplay. My standards for games, especially next gen only new IPs are much higher than they were in 2007 when the first Uncharted came out. Also, making the player fight rebels in a game where the premise is "Knights of the round table during the industrial revolution fighting lycans using weapons made by nikola tesla" is also a really horrible idea. It's an incredibly odd design decision that the lycans have one AI tactic. These are supposed to be the enemies that terrorized humanity for centuries. They should've been a shit ton more intelligent and menacing.This whole attitude that every game has to reinvent the wheel is also very annoying. I don't give a shit whether a game is innovative or not so long as it's enjoyable. I mean, I don't think the Uncharted series has a single innovative bone in its body (from a design-perspective. It obviously does from a technical perspective) and it's still awesome. That being said, while I am defending The Order here, I by no means think that the game is perfect. I do think that it has quite a few flaws and that there's a lot of room for improvement but I did enjoy the overall game and think that, ultimately, the good outweighs the bad.
I never said I liked how they handled the lycan encounters. I said that adding even more of them, like he's suggesting here, would've been a really fucking horrible idea.
Yeah, seems like they tried something similar to the stalkers from Dead Space but did the whole thing in badHoly shit at that Lycan encounter he shows...holy fucking shit.

why do his reviews have to be SOOOO LOOOONG? he could get all his points across in about 5 minutes

Having an ending and being functional should not get a 4/10. That is, like, bog standard requirement. And 06 would barely classify as functional to begin with.
What? It had an ass load of glitches and bugs. Its the reason I never finished it, that and the game sucked away so why bother. Sonic '06 is a 1/10 game.
How did the idea of a final boss being a carbon copy of an earlier encounter and is also a QTE-fest passed quality control?
It doesn't make any sense to evaluate Joe's score by your personal scale or the scale of other outlets. 4/10 seems to be below average on Joe's scale and the review text does reflect that. He never implies that the game is broken or anything, even if that's what you personally seem to associate with a 4/10.Fine then, AC Unity. Same shit.
Point is anything below a 5/10 is when you get into shit that just doesn't function like it should. The Order's really just average at worst, though I personally found it to be exceptional.
