So I just finished the game it had potential to be great but it never was amazing. I still enjoyed it for 20 dollars and a sequel feels needed. The best way I feel about this game is like uncharted 1. It's rough but with a bit of work and more openness it can be great. What do you guys think?

I mean, should based on what metric? It seems like it was a commercial disappointment and RAD have moved on to other things, so, no?

Yes.
It had lots of problems but the core gunplay was pretty solid. If they can write a better story and do better with the encounter design, I'd play the shit out of a sequel.

Absolutely. Kind of lackluster first outing (still better than people say though) but it has an assload of potential.

The game is set up to be a franchise with mutiple entries, so yes.

It was a massive flop, wasn't it?
Why double down on failure?

I still gotta finish it. I played about 3 hours and quit.

I want a sequel. The groundwork is laid... Now they just need to improve the gameplay (more gameplay).
At least salvage the tech.

No. Uncharted was a critical and commercial success on release. The Order was a critical flop and the brand is tarnished. RAD is not a WWS studio. Sony should spend their money elsewhere rather than paying RAD to try and fix their broken project.

Hell yeah. Was hoping for it to be a trilogy but don't see it happening whatsoever.

Terrible sales and critically panned. Sounds like a no. I almost jumped on it when it was $20 though, the story premise is still interesting.

What exists in The Order 1886 is enjoyable. Its biggest issue is content. It needs more to do to justify its asking price.
This. The story was bad, the gameplay was bad, the characters were bad. Give the money to a team that will make a good game with it.
Heck yes.

If buy it in a heart beat. For as much flack as the game gets at least I had fun with it. Could be better obviously, but that's what sequels are for.

Because sometimes there's a solid premise that can be improved on hugely in a sequel.
Imagine if Sony gave up on Killzone? We'd have never gotten one of the GOAT PS3 era shooters

No. Yes. Maybe. No.
Source on this? Has Sony ever released numbers or are we just basing this on VG chartzzzz

Sony owned the studio that made Killzone. They were more invested in allowing them to spread their wings, and, frankly, they probably felt the PS3 needed a signature FPS at a time when FPS' were the hot shit and Sony didn't have tight relationships with the popular FPS publishers at the time. Sony does not own RAD. By all accounts RAD are off doing their own thing. So this would require Sony to take their own internal resources/studio, or hiring an outside studio, to continue on an IP that isn't all that popular to begin with, in a genre that isn't exactly lacking. They seem like fairly different circumstances to me.
You already have a game like that which is made by a team far beyond RAD. It is called Bloodborne.

Pretty much this. It wasn't a bad game, but it was so damn boring that I couldn't care less where the story went, and that's the last effect a story focus game should achieve. I'd rather see the money spent on a sequel put to use elsewhere.
Not at all, the game looked great but was unbelievably dull with absolutely no payoff in the end. I wouldn't want to invest more in that team if I were Sony.
I mean for fucks sake they had these awesome werewolf hybrids as enemies and managed to turn fights with them into the most boring shit this gen.

I'd like to. They had a great concept, but it was clear that they were too ambitious and we got something that was not commonly liked. I hope they get another shot, but it's doubtful now.

It seemed like a lackluster first outing, but it's not like there haven't been franchises that have come back from that kind of thing. If you peer hard enough at the game, there's some real potential evident. There's certainly a reason why the game captured by imagination in the buildup to the release more than many other games did this year.
Should it get a sequel though? Should is a really strong, weird word to use here. Would I like it to? Yes. Should it? Debatable. Will it? Probably not.

Yes, please.
But so much of the interactive elements need a complete rethink. If you want cinematic realism to rule, then go whole hog with it and establish a new grammar for player choice. If you want players to examine items, make them important windows into the world that provide the player with background they can put to use, and if it wants to be shooter / adventure, it needs a lot of time for experimentation, iteration and refinement.
But for the art, and the setting, and the possibility that it could be put to good use, hell yeah, give it another shot at some point.
