Re: the OP
How could the game possibly have the replayability of Vanquish when in the very next sentence it is stated that the cutscenes are unskippable and dictate the pace?

What difficulty was it played on? Did they rush through it?
This thread is for gaf impressions, follow the TOS and read the OP.

The amount of effort you would put into that isn't worth it, some people have their mind made up no matter what others say. Hell he came in here said that nonsense in a thread where the guy who's giving impressions already said it was longer than that and gave out a positive outlook on the game.
That's too bad. Maybe it's not the kind of game you'd want to replay though.
I always got a Resident Evil vibe from it, and that series has done a lot to make the game replay friendly, with extra modes and lots of side stuff.
Despite the accusations that this is some "movie" game, I'm still all in for it.
To the point where I saw it on sale today at my local Wal-Mart and contemplating purchasing it and canceling my Amazon order, but decided against it because Amazon Gift Card money made it free.
But yeah,I still want it.

Tbf, MD has watched the gameplay and story on YouTube, so can at least comment on the game to a certain degree.
So you have no idea what majority means.

Is it worth buying a system for? I don't have a ps4 and the only 2 games of interest to me are this and bloodborne.

I'm expecting that to be some kind of network thing unlocked at launch, bit weird to have a greyed out option showing up for so long otherwise.
People wanna know what they game is like from the people on GAF who have copies of the game it's pretty straightforward.
It wasn't a speed run, they died a few times, but they were skipping over collectables. Difficulty was unknown but probably normal.
Oh no, he's gone. Wait, did he play the game?
Nevermind, I don't give a shit.
Are you gonna play the game?
The thing is I don't know if those guys played through the game with a stopwatch at their side. Time can be a difficult thing to keep track of. I thought I spent 14 hours playing The Last of Us through the first time, but it was only 10 hours.
With the Youtuber, at least, you can count how much time he has played in his unedited walkthrough.
But I digress, this thread isn't about the verifiability of timekeeping.
I expect I will, sooner or later.
I think you would do better to read the thread instead of pushing some agenda.

I actually kinda like that the game is on the shorter end. I don't have much time to play each week and if I can finish this game in about 6 hours and if the story is good then I'll gladly pay $60 for it.
Something I've wondered though is how are people allowed to share this information and even more upload the entire game on youtube? I thought the embargo date was on the 19th of February.

Think I will wait for a major price drop , it's alright having impressive visuals but if the ganeplay and substance isn't there then no chance of a day one. The lack of co-op is ridiculous too.
For Bloodburne easily...for this? not so much imo
Alright. I'll edit it out.
The Duck Hunt dig is what did him in. So transparent.
At which point did I support the claim that the majority of the game is cutscenes point that out please. I was just providing stats on roughly the amount of cutscene time.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Yea i'd be in love with the premise much more if it was like RE4 style progression and design. Been a while since a new IP has attempted that style.
This is an odd complaint.

People are so insensitive...sheesh.
Thanks for the impressions man. Its made my hype go wayyyyy up. Question, how is the body damage akin to what we saw in the Conspiracy Trailer and/or the Last of Us?
We aren't doing this, in this topic.
This is about impressions of the game from GAFers.

If you're going to buy it for Bloodborne, then buying now vs. in March doesn't seem like a very important decision, regardless of whether The Order is good.
I don't think the studio or Sony ever shyed from what this game is about. Clearly this is a cinamatic game, and clearly there is a market for it if Sony keeps pumping games of this genre (HR,UD). For the mechanic-tight hardcore type of game, Bloodborne is out soon. I hate to see people hating on RAD and Sony for this.
Thanks for the thread, this is the 1st 1886 I've read in a while.
From your impressions, I'm all in. I stopped pre-ordering games, so I'll pick this up Friday.
As far as the Friday release, that must be a Sony exclusive thing.. TLoU was the same way, which is nice, gives me the weekend to play.

No it isn't
So I am right if you include the cutscenes from regular chapters it is about a 1/4 and all I was doing was providing stats on it. I wasn't backing up the claim that the majority of the game is cut scenes, just to make that clear.

You have that squad with you in so many scenes (like dom in gears), wanting coop ain't the worst thing on earth.

You see the people who keep referring to how short it is? Or comparing it to Ryse? That sort of thing, people seem to be absolutely intent on making sure everyone hates this game because.... reasons?
I don't know, it's just very fun to watch. There's always some reason why this game is awful, from QTEs to black bars to length. Have to find a reason to hate it.
This is a common argument brought up when a game can be beat fast. The fact of the matter is TLOU was long on normal your first playthrough almost no matter what. Playing on survivor without listen mode is definitely more intense and more fun, but I think that rings true for just about every game. I don't think it's fair to gauge game length by the longest possible, it should be gauged by average length. I got chewed out for saying LBP 3 was too short, others were saying if you take your time to appreciate and collect everything it's fine. All games can be extended, but most people don't play this way, they simply enjoy the game and the story line and make their way through.
Isn't there a Bloodbourne bundle?

Big single player experiences are exactly the kind of thing I want. Sold.
Don't let me down OP
Indeed. However, are ALL of them ALWAYS by your side during combat sequences?

Now you're asking for DLC? Just rent it, dude.
Yeah, i know it wasn't a "great"thing to do. I just wanted to show that even if the game is heavy on cinematics it isn't a David Cage game....
Just to be clear, yeah, you do in this thread.

Nope, and that's why they didn't do co-op they didn't want it to dictate the narrative they were telling.
If you want to talk about the story, I believe there is a spoiler thread as well. Please don't do that here.
Yes, as usual people started going off the rails.
