This x1000. I said this before a few times already. Other games got flak for select things. But The Order got crapped on for pretty much every damn aspect of the game except for the graphics (though there was the downgrade thing that didn't really last very long). But half the people in this thread will remind you that other recent AAA titles got it worse than The Order. Suffice to say I have not laughed that hard as I did at that claim.Tomorrows thread will definitely be a graveyard. About the earlier discussion I cannot remember a game in my 40 years of living that has gotten as much negative internet press as the Order.
Ryse was panned for being repetitive and having QTE but that was pretty much the extent of it.
Watch Dogs was just beaten up for the whole downgrade thing and not looking like the "E3 reveal"
Sunset Overdrive hate was not at all close to this level it was more "Hey this exclusive looks boring" then it was fun so that didn't last long.
Titan fall was pretty much only hated because it was an exclusive until it was released.
Then there was Evolve .... "DLC is bad campaign" which is pretty much over now that the game is out.
The Order has been the whipping pony for two years straight. There have been times where there were 5 threads on Gaf Front page (or more) and just the other day at N4G it took up the entire hottest articles front page.

not open world
This has been the common theme surrounding this game for the last two years I can understand why RAD would be sick of it. To be honest at this point its like beating a dead horse. Let the reviews come out and let the chips fall where they may.
