sweet, sounds like the story and gameplay hold up.
Eh not seeing any mixed.Mixed impressions in here, some glowing, some middling. Unfortunately about what I expected. Still getting it no matter what.
Sure some people might not like certain aspects but they all come to the same conclusion.

The most negative impressions are from someone who's been enjoying the game overall but has some reasonable issues. He even corrected people last night who thought he was negative on the game to say he thought it was solid and his latest update says he's enjoying the game more now.Mixed impressions in here, some glowing, some middling.

Haha, indeed she is.

The parts criticised by Theman2k are also the parts that's always been most divisive about The Order in terms of what we've seen, which is the QTE design choices, and some aspects of the gameplay.

Im on a phone unfortunately, I just have seen some posts that are troubling. the amount of cutscenes, the talk about quick gameplay sequences squeezed in between cutscenes, better story than gameplay, and a post describing the annoying QTEs and whatnot. Again it's not necassarily negative negative, but it's mixed to a point. We'll see how the media responds to it.

Wow. The way the enemies body falls over his fallen comrade when he dies.
Also, I can't get over the cloth movement. It looks so good.

It'll be interesting to see how the game's pacing ultimately ends up being. One poster finds the beginning had uneven pacing while another says the games pacing is methodical.
It's hard to call anything a positive or negative at this point as we lack the ability to distinguish it from a person's preference.

How many hours so far? And you are playing on medium right?

Cant believe this is their first console game. It looks absolutely mindblowing.
Any updated impressions on how you feel about the controls after OneLetter's input?
In addition to that (this is something not really in the tutorial), you can hold circle to move around the ends of cover to execute a 90 degree turn.
Also, for those that asked a few pages back, you can swap the triggers with the shoulder buttons, and swap the analog sticks, all available in the options.
In the options is also where (mentioning it again), you will find Camera Bias, which allows you to swap shoulders the camera is looking over. This is off by default, and once on, you activate it by pressing on the side of the touchpad you want the camera to move to. If you're fast enough, you can play a bit of camera pong.

What the hell is going on in here with these insane graphics!! My god.
RAD's good at that. They put some magic into the God of War PSP games.

Yep, the detail on everything is just nuts.
The actual gunplay looks great as well. And I saw some nice chunks of it. Heavy Rain, this is not. Thank the gods.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
This seems like a small nitpick but it ruined Dragon's Dogma for me too. There won't be a way to get rid of the black bars right? Like, change the graphics setting to enable full screen and just reduce AA which I'd be ok with? Honestly it's taken my purchase from a "for sure" to a "wait and see"...
Black bars are there from the Initial Reveal! Why were you "for sure" early , Just wondering.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
I'm a few hours in, and I've gotta say this game is a playable movie. That's precisely what RAD intended this to be.
It's almost like a point-and-click adventure game built on TPS elements. The levels themselves aren't levels, they're "sets" where the scenes you control play out.
Finding easter eggs and collectibles don't feel like such in the traditional sense, because the game is so strictly linear and paced and scripted.
There's very little in the way of casual/spontaneous exploration and findings.
If you're okay with sitting along, doing some solid shooting, taking in the artsyle, getting some damn good dialogue fed in, then you will like it. If this restricted form of storytelling videogame offends your free spirited nature, or your idea of game design or...*cough* next-gen game design, then steer clear.
But, it's clear RAD's poured their souls into this. It really does show. It just feels like an old times videogame that happens to be the best looking/most stylish thing you've ever seen.
If you're looking for a bullet point to add to your argument of whether or not games are an art form, this is it. The grace of this game's presentation puts most films (and games) to shame. Ironically, with its old fashioned take on interactivity and player agency, it vindicates the medium in its own way.
I'm sure anyone who's foreign to videogames will take a look at this and say, "well, that's how it's done."
Great start by RAD. They're showing great potential.
Gripes ahead:

It feels a little fluffy on back story so far. It's asking me to take a lot of things at face value as far as the presence of lycans goes, and the history of the Order, etc. It still doesn't feel solidified. For something that strives to be as grounded in reality as possible, the conflict doesn't feel that tangible due to the lack of proper exposition thus far.

Attention to detail is usually something you'll find in very good games and the attention to detail in this gif is fantastic.

Everything you said excited me. Although, it also sounds like people were right. This is a game that's going to radically divide people.
I love open narratives, but I also really treasure tight, linear, well-written stories. I can't wait to make some art arguments with this game
When it takes them million years to make a product, that is the least I would expect.
