![Eminem - Fuel (Shady Edition) feat. Westside Boogie & GRIP [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k1OquBida9s/mqdefault.jpg)
you, sir, deserve a hefty amount of subscribers. God Bless you and keep growing.
I really don't understand all the hate and low marks for this game. Allot of reviewers talk about the length, it's not like it's a two hour playthough, it's several hours. The gameplay is like "The Last Of Us" + "Uncharted" minus the puzzle solving. The biggest haters are the hard core online players that only buy shooters for the online component. There is nothing wrong with a ninear game, instead of exploring huge areas while you do extra side missions to upgrade your health, weapons etc.. you play through the story.
The graphics are superb, the sound and music is perfect, the voice acting is on point and the story is awesome. If you are one of the few "Offline, single player, campaign playing, narrative based gamer" then you'll love the game. The only reply value however is the same as when re-watching a film.
Would you say this game is worth playing tho ?
People bashed this game so hard I didn't buy it until it became 9$ and I loved it, I liked the story even if it's a little predictable, I liked the cutscenes because I was going in for a cinematic experience and I got a great one at that. I only didn't like the ending and the beginning chapters were somewhat boring and I couldn't care less. Overall it's a much better game than people make it out to be and this is the fairest review I've seen of this game. Great job man.
I enjoyed it
+ACG I'm glad you're always active in the comments replying and all, also again this was a fantastic review you were very fair with the game pointing out its negatives and positives although some of your negatives I consider positives but we all have different opinions (and expectations) after all :D
thanks sir
same here. I had a great time.
jalal ali Wish more people talked about it like you did man. I didn't pay 60$ for this. About 10$ I wanna say and it was some high quality stuff.
More trust-worthy than both IGN and Gamespot.
Rojigami Thanks Roj
AngryCentaurGaming Did you see IGN and Gamespot's twitter and Facebook accounts? They were acting no better some internet trolls, you would expect.. better from a professional team. Regardless, Thank you for your review!
Rojigami ign and GameSpot are dogshit
Wow, a developer actually managed to release a half-decent game? No major bugs either? That deserves a round of applause.
One minute we complain about a legitimately buggy game with repetitive gameplay. Next we complain about a bug free game with little gameplay. You can't please anyone these day's it seems! xD
Atomic Rebellion I just think a bug free game with less gameplay is the better of 2 evils. Not that I want all games to be movies.
*****
I played Unity on release version for ~16 hours and only once I had to restart the game because of a bug. I also get 5 second freezes, but beside that the game is awesome. People also said Skyrim had a lot of bugs, had a ~200 hours blast with it. Also I saw no gamebreaking bugs in Inquisition/Dying Light/Darkest Dungeon.
Bugs are a minor annoyance to me as long as the game is interesting to play.
Personally, I feel we rely too heavily on reviewers. What I mean is, we hail them as THE deciding factor of any purchase. If we subscribe, follow, and watch a reviewer there's going to be that large portion of the audience who will eat up what they say and will SLANDER a game saying the same things as that reviewer on social media. We don't cross reference with other reviewers. We don't investigate the problems ourselves. We don't consider (most of the time) our own tastes either. Some people just didn't like Telltale's Walking Dead because they don't want a story driven, QTE, and choice festival of a game. But gamers will harass them for being "uncultured". This is the exact reason why I simply watch a review and only dissect the parts where my opinion may or may not be affected. Not to mention this is honestly the reason why I can't verbally talk to most gamers. It's honestly sad how people get this upset, harass others, and are blind to what really is a criticism. I'm not even defending this game or any of the other "shoddy" releases over the past few years. In my eyes, if you paid 60 bucks, felt like your money was well spent...GOOD FOR YOU! Honestly, we should be happy for our fellow gamers for ENJOYING a game instead of pissing and moaning about it.
it is sad we consider this an accomplishment
Good to have you back, man. I just love the way you make your reviews. Jokes but serious. Just perfect. Thanks for you hard work.
Rui Pedro Appreciate it Rui
AngryCentaurGaming
Very detailed review but I don't think this should be a buy. The game looks amazing but it's so short that you can finish it and be done with it in a day. So why not rent it for 1$ at a red box? This would be a perfect rent. An amazing game but not worth 60$ in any way.
Just told my friends about you! You are the best reviewer out there! None of them had faith in the Order except for me and know after everyone of us watching you only one is not buying this game because he is using the money for dying light but that's ok haha.
Keep up the good work and have a great day Bro!!! 👊👊👊😁
Gilberto Sanchez Thanks man and thanks for spreading the word
By far the best review I've seen. The game is not nearly as bad as some people want to say it is. It seems these days that everyone *wants* gaming to fail. It's truly depressing. Why hate a game when it does quite a bit of things right? I mean no game is perfect (well almost none are), so why do people seem to want nothing but perfection? What happened to the days when people loved games even if they fucked up?
***** Its an odd world and the devs didn't help themselves
AngryCentaurGaming I suppose you're right mate. Anyway, again, great review. Far above the usual crap reviews you see these days.
***** People's main problems seem to be the way cinematic games play in general. If that's the case, don't buy a cinematic game. I thought the game was great. My favourite next gen easy.
I hear what you're saying and totally agree. I've decided to look to ACG as my main video game review source for when I'm unsure whether I want to buy a game because he focuses on all important aspects of a game, especially significant being the fun factor, and admits positives when they are present. He's one of the few reviewers I relate to in that he doesn't need a game to be perfect in some aspects for him to enjoy it. I appreciated the ACU review since he focused on the majors flaws in the game, but understood there were positives there and he miraculously actually enjoyed the game. The reviews where he takes a second look at games he already reviewed is also a huge plus, since he understands a game can better or worse overtime, especially considering patches.
pjsmith97 Yeah. I agree with that completely.
you deserve mo subscribers sir, hopefully you're channel will grow larger :)
colorme redd Thanks redd
ACG its crazy because now you pop up as one of the first results for any game lmao
I thought for certain you'd stamp this with Rent since there's apparently no replay value and the campaign is ~6 hours.
Looks pretty for the PS4, though...shame it'll never come to PC.
Excellently detailed review.
SirJamesDTech Well I got into the 9+ hours range now. That teetered it over into buy.
AngryCentaurGaming Good call then if it's nearing the 10 hour mark. Ooooh I'd love to see that title on my machine though.
AngryCentaurGaming Was that 9+ hours gameplay or does that include the unskippable cut-scenes? How many hours cut-scenes are there?
AngryCentaurGaming so game length= buy? I don't understand.
Tim Rahill No total experience does. NOw after finishing a 2nd time the game really is something unique. Not perfect but as the old saying goes, "More than the sum of its parts."
Wow, the last critic I expected to complement this game was you considering how picky you are but I see you got this one spot on. I paid 5$ for this game and if felt bad about it because I feel like I stole it. it's worth way more than that and would preorder immediately if there was a sequel to be announced tomorrow
It's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
don't care what anybody says I love this game fun to play cut sceens are good.good ps4 game
+Robert the lonley soul Fine, go ahead, enjoy it. But don't say it's a good game because then you have to hold it up to the quality of other games, at which point it falls hilariously short.
+Zenith Wills No, Robert's right, and you're just riding the hate train. This game was one of the most criminally underrated games of the year. Everyone I've seen who've actually played it said it was quite enjoyable. Solid gunplay, decent story with great voice acting, no real bugs, phenomenal graphics (of course), and the length is actually right around average at 7-9 hrs depending on completion. But, haters just gotta hate I guess.
bliglum Yeah but I hate what it emulates. Graphics over gameplay. True I give it props for the graphics, voice acting, story etc. But in terms of an actual game it is horrible. I would deferentially say rent it to be able to witness how good it looks. But if you're gonna buy something you should be able to enjoy it multiple times, and can you honestly say that you could enjoy playing this over and over again? I mean come on the final boss was literally a reskin of a previous boss.
Zenith Wills
Yeah, the boss fights were pretty lame. But I don't think in terms of an actual game it was horrible per say, after all, most agree that the actual gunplay was pretty solid.. I had fun with it, when I rented it XD (Played through when it was full price)
So yes, I don't think it was worth a buy at full price.. They should have at least put in some sort of campaign+ mode or something. But at just $20, it's pretty good value! That's the cost of a blu ray, which is only 2hrs. Vs. 8 or 9hrs.
bliglum Yeah but it's shallow. it's advertised as a game about monster hunters yet it's just another average shooter. And the AI is so badly made. You can have fun with it because that's your own opinion, but you have to admit in terms of actually being a game it's pretty bad.
When I first saw a trailer for "The Order: 1886" I was so pumped for it and super excited. Now after seeing your review of this game I figure this type of game is not for me actually. The game looks so boring, the A.I. does look like it has no though process to it, and even though the graphics and voice acting looks and sounds amazing. It's just does not seem to have the gameplay or story to get me hooked on it. Thank you man for making this non-biased review and saving a few bucks from my wallet as well. =)
TheHauntedReader You bet
I actually really liked the story. Much more so than AngryCentaurGaming. I do agree that the AI isn't amazing, though it's not quite as terrible as he's making it out to be. Enemies do attempt to flush you out, especially the heavy shotgunners. The game does let you hide behind cover a little too often though. The real issue is that enemies die incredibly fast in the game. There's not a lot of time for anyone to sneak up on you. They're generally dead before they get even remotely close to you except for the heavy gunners. The sneaking sections annoyed me more than anything, but overall the game is decent. It's not everyone's cup of tea though. So if you don't think it's right for you, then you're probably right to not buy it or at least wait until it goes on sale.
Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts man. I finished the game a few days ago and got my review up for it yesterday, but I really love seeing other people's thoughts on the game. Keep up the great work.
I love the detailed review and you just made me want this game more. Excellent game if your not a call of duty halo head. This game is meant for people with an open mind and appreciation for the developers art and talent
Aldrian Alfonso actually the order is perfect for the cod crowd. Short, soldiers protecting the rich upper class from a less advanced terrorist group and linear as fuck. The only deal breaker for them is no mp
With that graphic on reveal, I already knew this would be a heavy story focused game with lesser gameplays, just play it like its Heavy Rain and its really enjoyable
Bought the game. Finished it yesterday and bottom line - enjoyed it. It was O.K.
I find this review to be pretty much accurate and spot on, this is exactly how I felt after fishing the game.
This is a game that's specifically designed to showcase the graphical prowess of the PS4. It looks fucking gorgeous. Also, motion capture (both in game and cut scenes) is astounding. Better than any other video game available right now. It feels like your eyes are having sex. Amazing.
And it was fun to play. Overall, I enjoyed it.
But yeah - Story could have been substantially better and more fleshed out to draw the player in. Since the camera is always so close to the character's shoulder and the environments are so linear, it kinda feels like the game is choking you at times. Sometimes I'd just turn the game off and start playing an open world game, just to get some oxygen back.
And the number of QTEs makes you wanna puke. At times, they make sense. Mostly, they just feel forced and the result of the lack of imagination or simple laziness from the developers.
I'd wait for a sale on this one, but not a big one. Even just 15-20% off is enough to justify getting it.
This isn't a phenomenal PS4 exclusive as a whole, but it's still better than any Xbox one exclusive I can think of, including Quantum break and all of the Halos.
good review overall, although I would appreciate if you could mention on what platforms games are available (at least in the description box below). apart from that it's always impressive how you manage to pack so much information and in depth review within this fairly short amount of time. glad a found your channel a few weeks back.
keep it up, good sir.
Wow really surprised it was a buy! I was thinking it was going to be a wait for a sale at the most! Great review as always, and I am loving the small additions such as text popping up in gameplay and your reasoning behind your verdict!
Great insight, finished the game last night and it was definitely worth the $80 I invested into the Collectors Edition. Loved the graphics, the atmosphere, details, voice-overs, guns....the only part I felt was a just a tad overly lengthy (maybe because I missed an ammo stash) was all the espionage in the garden.
After playing the game its actually pretty good. not great and i dont think id play it again, but it is far from bad. and i found this review a bit nit picky. but i do agree with most that he said. I also dont have ADHD, like most gamers, so i dont hate cut scenes, i actually like them. And its not a 5 hour long QTE cutscene like people believe. i payed 13 but i would honestly pay 35$ if i had too. It is worth playing but not to die for.
I got it when I bought the PS4 for about 27$(the blackwater edition), it has its problems but I love the coll edition and the game was a fun time
Deathwish7777777 yeah its a decent game i liked it.
I'm surprised by the Buy rating. To me, this looks like another style over substance title. I would certainly not want to award this type of approach to game design.
I actually have no problem whatsoever with the game design. Its just not done super well here. The overall idea of a more cinematic game isn't one without merit. But more accuracy needs to be applied to the design to pull it off. As for me. I had fun for 8.5+ hours even though I had a few issues.
Fair enough!
***** Agreed. That is why I was so blown away that I liked this enough to rate it a buy. Surprised big time.
Great review. You're honestly becoming one of my favorite video game reviewers.
Sora_X5 Thanks so much Sora
this a wait for a price drop cuz i dont wanna watch a movie . i wanna play the game lol. super fast delivery and thanks . peace out
Agreed at full price these linear story games usually get old fast with me. With no choice to the player and with the evil within letter boxing i would not pay full price with this. Games could be sooo much more so trying to chase that movie feeling already put odds against it.
john farley i prefer lots of good and long game play and minimal cut scenes. call me old fashion. cut the fat from the meat and ur stuck with around 6 -7 hour of actual game play. not worth the 60 price tag in my opinion. im a gamer and i want to game hard , long and good. not watch a movie while clicking qtes #the order 1886
order 1886 was meant to be muchh bigger with open london and side quests but with the budget they over reached their vision and had to scale down, sequal will fix it and add multiplayer
This by far has been the best review I've seen for this game. I'm about almost half way through and I have to say that if I just drop the judgement of a game through the eyes of the pretentious eyes and mind of ign, gamespot, etc. I just enjoy the game for the entertainment value. Even with the AI heavy on the clumsy side, it still gives a very entertaining feel and leaves me with a bit of giddiness of a small child.
What I love about this review (an why I watch your videos last) is that entertainment is high for you and not just your own wordy gobbledygook that other reviewers think the world should feel. Honestly, looking at all the fun factors of the game leave you not with the feeling of guilt and shame, but rather, the feeling of happiness and no doubt that you are along for the ride.
Thanks again for your reviews and it's your thoughts that ultimately decide where I put my cash when it comes to my game buying.
Really enjoy the unbiased perspective. Picking this one up. Love atmosphere and the things you highlighted. Seems more like an experience than a game. Might be a cool change of pace
Seth Lord commit was priceless and the 1 and 2 and 3 line
+Lucas Zelitt thanks
Great review! For these types of "Short vs. Long" game length, I like to use a philosophy I heard about a few years back: The shorter it is, the more brilliant is should be. The longer it is, the more interesting it should be.
I haven't played The Order yet, but if the game in the end left you with a nice conclusion to it's story, and you're happy with it, then I think it has done it's job, despite it's length.
The real question is: price. Which, I wouldn't mind shelling out $60, but I do understand other people's opinion about why this is Rent/Wait for a sale worthy. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.
cloud154532 Ya I agree. I was fairly disappointed when someone recently asked me if I had timed my time in cutscenes. I haven't ever been asked that and there are games like the MG series that have long cutscenes as well. I guess from now on every single cutscene will be timed and cut off from the gametime. Such an insane time to be into the industry.
AngryCentaurGaming Somewhat of a "the light that shines twice as bright burns half as long" fell to the game. I am up to chapter 7 and they easily could have made the game longer but thus far simply adding more enemies would fell artificial and whilst it would lengthen the game it would be for the worse. Now more advanced AI that had me panicking what they where doing like no game but the first fear has done for me would also have done it, but as I said, only one game has genuinely shocked me with how good the ai was at countering my movements and attacks with it felling natural and not forced (eg: it not been "you have to go down this path so they can counter you in an already specified way").
One of the things I really hated about it was the wasted potential. You play freaking monster hunters descended from the knights Templar! And all you do is fight humans! Not to mention the final climax battle of the game is literally just a copy of a previous fight. And they're both just quick time events.
that last bit is one of the reasons I didnt' buy this.
Azhrei2000 same here.
BUY!
and if you don't have a surround sound set up...buy one too.
Damn,this game looks good on RUclips it must look good IRL
Stefan8u lol
Pretty fair review. So it seems that it really is cutscene heavy but I don't mind that. I loved games like Heavy Rain and Beyond so as long as I'm invested in the story and the gameplay sections are fun, which they seem to be, I think I'll be just fine. Getting it tomorrow. Can't wait.
I somehow stumbled onto a Kotaku review that talked about how worthless this game was, then I was like "fuck this what does ACG think?" Yet another detailed and unbiased review, you never disappoint!
Andrew Watkins Thanks man
Kotaku is fucking garbage. Most of their shit is click bait anyways. Plus some of their people is shady as fuck when it comes to the industry.
First time visiting your channel and your reviews appear to be born of a strong knowledge base and a real love for gaming. Intelligent, detailed and FUNNY. Subscribed!
Michael Quinn Thanks man
I think this game should be a must buy. I haven't played it but when I first got the ps4 I was hesitant on which games to buy. Granted if you don't like 3rd person shooters, don't get it or any other aspect don't get it. But if your on the fence just grab it for real. I have yet to be disappointed with a Sony exclusive for the past couple years. It's an experience only on PS4 and most have been great. If you don't like it, flip it for 30 back to gamestop or 45 on craigslist.
You know you hit the head on the nail with this one, I agree 100% with this review coming from someone who bought the game on day one and was excited for a long time about the game. I really enjoyed the characters, the weapons are unique, the atmosphere is awesome. They just need to put more control/customization for the players in their next title and it could turn out to be an awesome franchise
Nicolas Wohlfahrt Thanks man
AngryCentaurGaming actually i believe the saying is hit the nail on the head lol pardon my retardism. Enjoyed the game though and im excited for the future of thw franchise
Dang Karak, you still respond to comments on older videos? Respect!
when I can.
ACG Damn man, and i just got here.
You are the best reviewer right now! Keep up the good work.
As for the game I pre-ordered it and I am kind of glad it's not that long since I have a big backlog of games that I would not end in 3 human life times.
Alejandro Mtz Gandara Thanks!
AngryCentaurGaming Great review once again man, think this is worthy of adding to my collection due to the sheer visual and atmospheric feat it is, just gonna wait for a price drop which i can't see taking long.
Craig O Brien Ya wont be long at all
Excellent review. No bullshit and to the point. Your one of the very few reviewers I trust. How long did it take you to finish? No side stuff or anything?
Jestblk Jestblk 8+ with some exploration
Quick time events should be abolished from existence.
Finally a review that makes sense. I absolutely adored this game, I didn't get the story until I played it for the second time, and if you pay attention the story and narrative are actually quite good. The Order reminds me a lot of last gen's beyond two souls where it was trashed for making the player feel passive but delivering a very interesting and amazing story. I bought this game simply because of the poor reception and I'm glad to say I'm really happy I did.
MiSsToX1c Thanks
Well I didn't buy it because i'm broke and I don't have a PS4 with me :p
Lol funny going back and seeing how you use to do things. Cool seeing how far youve come.
man i love your reviews. this was a game that i loved even tho i totally understand why some people hated it. to hear such a quality critique of the game is awesome
Thanks again man for a thorough and unbiased review. You're my go-to reviewer now. I have this on preorder and I was afraid you were going to tell me how much it blew and that you'd recommend it only as a rental - not that I can't make decisions on my own but we have a lot of views/values in gaming in common that I take what you say with great consideration. I avoided your channel for so many years because any game reviewing channel that has "Angry" in front of it that isn't AVGN I take as a copycat hack trying to do the same thing - not so with your channel.
Gahechi Esmichi I don't know what AVGN is but thanks man. I happens. I got my name angrycentaur, over 20 years ago. So thems be copying me lol
AngryCentaurGaming AVGN is the Angry Video Game Nerd - I'm sure you must have heard of him.
Again Karak, hope you still remember me, hahaha! I'm still sticking with ya bro, close to 50k woohoo, gratz bro. Keep up your freaking amazing reviews; you are really the decider wether i buy a game or not! Thanks man.
Co-op Bosses 200,000 subs later...
I thought ACG stood for "Alpha Centauri Gaming".
You got it wrong at the end. Its a RENTAL. You're saying it has alot of down time where the game plays itself with alot of cutscenes that u wish you could but can't. The game is short, no replay value, no co op, no upgrade system to at least work for something while going thru this game or movie.
It's a rental. Indie games have more gameplay then this movie. That $60 price tag makes it all the more of a rip off of a game and no where near a buy unless it's in the bargin bin.
Well I could lie and say I agree with you but that would in the end be a lie.
This is the best review of this game I have seen so far. I noticed most of these things when watching some of the walkthroughs. I will play it eventually, but it's certainly not worth the money they are asking for at the moment. It's such a shame people fall for the 'glamour' of a game and don't really see what the content is.
Wayne Gregory Thanks Wayne
regardless of length or whatever about this game, kudos to the devs for making a game that works and delivers on what they wanted to create and not send out a broken game requiring multiple patches to get right, pre-ordered this and cant wait to finally play a game that's just a straightforward do this kinda game, to many "next-gen" games are trying(and failing) to create these huge expansive sand boxes with tedious game mechanics that tend to be broken, with shopping list-esque mission structure. Great review seems like that only reliable source on youtube for them!
SuperEmcg Thanks super
Great review as always! :D. I really enjoy this type of "in your face" reviews :).
One question though, gameplay time, is it true that it's only around 5 hours of gameplay? Did it feel short?
Catalin Ciubotaru around 8 to 8.5 for me
ANd it didn't felt short?
i played through the order and without spoiling it. the ending pissed me off, because i was so looking forward to a good conclusion of all the shit i went through.
The story overall is not that bad, and i LOVE the gunplay.
The length is also not that bad, it feels just long enough before me getting bored, but i were never bored. the game kept me interesting.
It was like watching a movie and at times i kinda enjoyed it, grab some popcorn and enjoy. but after a while i just wanted to do stuff on my own.
oh and also, takedowns were fucking amazing!!!!
Loved the subtle captions that would appear now and again! "Dat lighting though" lol, I'm still on the fence about this game. I'll probably go ahead and pick it up though because I've been pining for a Gears of War-esque shooter for awhile now.
Bravo Karak nailed the review. Aside from some more colorful comparisons, which i couldn't help but mentally interject with.
OhMan ThatGuy Thanks
This game could be a great multiplayer franchise if Santa Monica gives the time to make it happen. I hope Sony gives the green light for a sequel because if they are able to clean up the flaws of the game then this could become one of the best franchises in the ps4.
+Jamie Tattersall I highly doubt that will happen because the core idea of the game is what's wrong. They spend all there money making incredibly realistic graphics, but use them on pointless things. Like as Extra Credits pointed out theirs a room in the game that serves no purpose to the plot, game play, world building, anything but has amazing graphics in it. They sacrificed game play and originality for graphics which is just insulting.
Jamie Tattersall I agree because while I have not played the game the premise of it is strong and from what I have seen of it the main characters seem good. Theres no doubt potential for a Franchise. If it is fixed up so its successfull so it gets a sequel and is part of a Franchise I will buy it.
Great honest review. YOU ARE SPOT ON MATE! This game is a ''next gen'' game, its a bit expensive for the hours you get BUT it's worth buying - playing! Plus not everyone plays multiplayer games... there are people like me that enjoy single player campaigns... So games shouldn't be judged by that! Story is great - graphics are FANTASTIC - this is something new and different on a NEXT GEN CONSOLE! A must play for every gamer!
Panakas86 THanks man
Awesome reviews mate. I judge Games on whether my missus can sit through watching it. Not looking so good at the moment. First five minutes was awesome (the torture part) but after about an hour and a half was pretty bored of it. I'll give it a good crack tomorrow get some hours in hope it picks up a bit. Been waiting so long for it to come out im gonna hope it was worth it. Keep the vids coming bud
Good review! Very smartly written while being INCREDIBLY informative about the game in question. Great work! The only problem I have is with the amount of swearing, but that's a personal preference.
Keep up the great work!
CH Gorog Thanks man. Sometimes I barely swear sometimes I do a bunch. Its just me talking like I normally do so sometimes its varies
I'm going to pick this up just because I'm curious to play it myself. I have a feeling the reactions to this will be similar to The Evil Within at least in the respect that it's linear and feels unfamiliar; but in the end I'd wager it will have its share of fans.
I thought it was really cool, and i was engrossed in the characters, but i felt like it was much too short lived. There wasn't nearly enough character or story development. If another one comes out, I would say I would still play it because I was interested, but I was simply disappointed by the lack of content available. All that aside, the game certainly looks fantastic. It's just too bad they didn't put all that work into the gameplay and AI as well.
I was sure you were going to rate it a rent or wait for a sale when you talked about longevity. Care to explain why it's worth full price for you if you don't think it really has any replayability?
P.S. Good work on your channel.
I agree with much of what you said, but the controls were complete rubbish. The reverse analogue slotting, wherein you look with the left and move with the right, had me completely flustered and I could never get used to it. Also, I'm trying to move AND interact with objects with the same hand! This could have been alleviated by giving the player some controller choices by being able to switch the analogue movements but instead I spent waaay too much of my time playing the game looking at the ground while attempting to shoot enemies in boring gunning segments. It was good the AI was stupid because the game wouldn't let me aim straight enough to shoot em right. I played for a few hours and gave up and returned the game to the store. I was downright depressed with how this game turned out.
And, no, I hadn't read any reviews on the game before playing it. I let the media hype reel me in and that was a mistake. Next time, I'll rent before buying.
You do the best reviews I've come across on RUclips. Dis-Order is bargain bin or gamefly rental for me. Thanks for making my decision an easy one.
izzy1985 You bet
i got this game on sale for 2$. Not even going to complain at that price lol. It was cool but you are right that it never decides if it should be a interactive movie or a game with interactive contents
Excellent review my friend. The graphics are up their with Rise. Keep being the good reviews!
BigLegendD Thanks!
The best/fairest review you'll see about the order!!

So glad you were able to get this review out before Friday, my man. I was hoping you would, but have to admit I was fearful that it would be later and I would have to wait to buy the game.
After watching this, I think I am going to go ahead and get it tomorrow as planned. I cleared my calendar and set aside this Friday to play the game, but all the recent talk about its length, like you mentioned, had me thinking twice about even getting the it at all, much less on Day Of Release, but after this, yeah, I think I feel comfortable enough to jump in.
As always, thanks for the heads up ... no ... thanks for the HONEST heads up on all the issues and/or flaws. THAT is why I always try and wait for your reviews. I can trust the damn things. Peace and keep on keep'in on !!!
Im subbed here becuase you have the earliest reviews. I just might rethink and buy this.
I liked the review but I have a question for you. Do you start off with the review at the bottom of the scale and they earn their way up to a buy or do you start at a buy and work your way down? To ME it seemed like you would have made this a wait or rent by the way you made it sound in the end. Great Review. Will be passing on it personally, back to D3ROS yet again.
The game is undoubtedly flawed but it certainly has potential. I think the team at Ready at Dawn needs to be overseen by more experienced developers like Naughty Dog to guide and oversee their own development as well as for any sequel. Which reminds of the first Uncharted - flawed but filled with potential - that became a great franchise and is by what most people would now agree as the flagship IP of SCE.
Imo it's worth playing to quickly forget about it when you don't wanna go out to the cinema during a lone evening. I'd say wait for a sale though.
Awesome review Karak, so good to see the review on the music and voice, Im enjoying the game right now, why so many critics giving below average ratings is beyond me, its not the perfect game like you said, but the production value is there in the atmosphere, music, voice acting and decent story as well as beautiful graphics. So good to see a good review, keep it up ACG
MrLimo217 Thanks
The Order is currently autoloading onto my PS4, with little under 9hours until activation.
There are few games that have caused me as much consideration on whether or not to pre-order/buy or ignore them.
But in the end i decided that this game had its place in my library, if for no other reason than being pretty. Length, gameplay and other factors didn't matter that much as i'm playing other games that deliver all of that and i knew 1886 looked good even before the reviews came out, that's why i pre-ordered it.
So, after seeing this review, it's nice to know that it has more good areas rather than just its graphics...
markotark I hear you its not terrible or anything
AngryCentaurGaming I want to get this game but it seems a lot of games on the next gen consoles are lacking in a mager way way titanfall shadow of mordor sunset overhype destiny even dragon age inquisition wasn't a game that made you goe wow i don't know i maybe going to pc this console gen is a huge let down
Richard Greeter Out all the games you listed I only played shadow of mordor but that game had little to no hype and was amazing. So I have no idea how you consider it to be overhyped.
Sup Karak, would love to suggest a review of MGS Ground Zeros, shouldn't take you long but I think the gameplay is phenomenal and has some great graphics and cinematics. I am so hyped for the Phantom Pain when it finally comes out. Are you an MGS fan perchance? Cheers for the hard work
A reviewer who talks about AI design or highlights it. Quite rare theses days. You've got a great style in how you approach your reviews keep up the good work! subscribed!
Ebonizer V Thanks Ebon. Ya AI Is a big deal to me. I usually mention it in my reviews
Top reviewer on youtube hands down have yet to come across any of this caliber authenticity mixed with a hint of malevolence makes for a youtuber which should be drawing near 1 million subs! Nice
Devaughn Haughton Thanks man
I know this is kind of late, but are you planning to play/review driveclub? Enjoying your every review btw!
for 19.99-29.99 I would say buy. For the full price of 60 tho? tough one for me. great review again dude love your reviews!!
The story is a big factor that was a bit missed in the buy or not factor. I haven't purchased the game as I don't have a PS4, and I usually stick to PCs in the first place. However, I watched all of the cutscenes and important gameplay moments in order, and by what I saw, the cinematic cutscenes add up to be a damned movie. You get a beautiful game and movie in one purchase, and the fact that they're intertwined is great. I just can't stand when people complain about how linear it is for a shooter. Not that anyone did in this review, but I've seen so many complaints on that so far. Its ridiculous. How games even succeed nowadays is beyond me, because every time there's thousands of negative reviews when it comes to console games.
***** Whats a "damned movie"?
AngryCentaurGaming Essentially, a movie.
***** The graphics are by far the best on a console ever, but it's loaded with qte. The story also isn't really that great in my opinion. AngryJoe gave a good, solid review on this game. I recommend you to watch it.
great honest review. not enough seats left on the band wagon. thanks.
I felt like I had little to do, apart from the brief shooting arenas. Normally I like cutscenes (For one, MGS4 with it's lenghtly scenes was excellent), but the gameplay need to match the expectation set. No point watching a whole lot of awesome unfold on a cutscene and you have no way of influencing it in the next section of gameplay.
This game is going to have a cult fanbase just like LA Noire and some other special games
Subbed. Really like your review style. I've had my doubts about buying the game at launch for a long time. It's a shame that the game is such a standard third person shooter, because the setting and story have potential for so much more. A game doesn't need to be longer than 8 or so hours as long as the trip and the ending are worth it, but the ending doesn't seem very satisfying according to other reviews out there. I'm gonna sit this one out until it drops to about 40 bucks.
Marco Wolken Thanks and ya waiting is fine too. As I said in the review I was close to both choices.
Nice review, not on xbox sadly but for it being short I would wait until its cheaper for that. I don't mind the long cutscenes but i'm a guy who plays games for the story...I won't even touch or look at Fifa :P
multisturge Thanks man
Is it just me or is no one else considering the fact that this is a first and brand new IP from this developer. I think it's a fantastic game for being their first, and they'll only get better from here.
cchdz I don't think so personally.
cchdz I actually enjoy the game. So I'm not exactly sure where you're going with this.
This thread is priceless :)! and thanks Marlon for the keen analysis, i agree with you 100%
It's a good game, but the price was a little steep for something under 9 hours. I consider a 15 hour game worth $60, so this would be good around the $40 mark. Of course, it's price has dropped significantly now, so not like it matters.
toxinqwerty I definitely agree that it should've been around the $40 mark.
Gudinnuffikus. I knew he was a real thing. Strikes me a lot during homework.
BossOss Strikes me all the times during sex. Oh man sith lord strikes again I am done.
A short game with no replayability, in what world is that not a "rent?"
dbsasuke Yeah, this is a rent 100%.
It's a buy because the game is decent shooting is decent , story is interesting and graphics are amazing but it's very short but it s just a last of us wannabe but you can't be the best ever
Well - I just bought the game - and so far so good! I don't play games like a lot of hard core gamers probably do - I spend a couple of hours here and there, and do marathons on the weekend. Played for about 4 hours last night, and am only thru Chapter 3. To me, this is gonna be a fun game and I'm taking my time and taking it all in. It just looks so good! So, I'm walking thru it and paying attention to every nook and cranny.
Yeesh, this game looks so BORING. Like, deathly BORING. I have yet to see anything from this new generation that I would classify as a console seller for the PS4 and Xbone. The gameplay looks completely generic, the story looks like a big missed opportunity (especially considering that they have way more lore to work with but they seem content to focus on the boring rebel business), everything about it looks bland. Sure, it's as pretty as they come, but when all I'm given is six hours of samey gameplay and dull story with absolutely zero replay value, that's when graphics officially cease to matter in the slightest.
Good review. I just can't stand how much of a missed opportunity this game was. So many good ideas and concepts and yet all we got was a typical third-person shooter with nothing of any real value.
Thanks for posting and for your thoughts. Also thanks for being pleasant regardless if we agree on the reviews outcome! Appreciated.
AngryCentaurGaming No problem! There'd be no sense in me getting nasty over a simple difference in opinion.
*****
I think the problem lies more in gunplay than level design. They don't capitalize on the setting and combat possibilities. Think of "Ratchet & Clank" which is a series that basically sells itself on weapon fun-factor. That's what I think this game needed, they should have just gone all-out with interesting enemies and insane weapons with fun mechanics to each one.
Things are going real bad right now with games on this genre,it was harder and more enjoyable playing games in the 90's,I had amazing great fun beating games on the PS1, Crash Bandicoot for example or DOOM the FPS,solid fun games,the games companies hire PR to hype games to an unbelievable level and when they release the game it is pure shit.
***** i honestly dont even care about exclusives anymore. The 3rd parties are where its really at. They dont care about exclusivity except for maybe a few meaningless add-ons. The only game im really anticipating and looking forward to is arkham knight. fuck exclusives
Thanks for a great honest review!
your reviews are the best dude.keep up :D
Mark Anthony PistaBob Thanks mark
The Order 1886 is my favorite PS4 exclusive I've played so far & I probably enjoyed it more than any other game of this gen so far.
Did I want more after the credits rolled? Sure, but in a good way. I didn't have a problem with the games length as many others did.
I look forward to a sequel & hopefully they will continue to steer clear of any multiplayer. I
I am really enjoying the game. I find the story intriguing to keep me vested (I haven't finished the game. I don't really feel like any source material addition would really make the story about Grayson and the order any better since it is all based on known myths. I also like the pacing as some games keep you so busy that the battles never hold any real impact as it's just more motion and sound. I think the game is paced this way to make each action sequence seem much more intense. I agree the A.I. could have used some polishing but overall I think this is my of my favorite PS4 games to date. I think if you go into the game with the expectation of a sandbox game you will be disappointed.
Excellent review. My Collector's Edition arrives today. I am looking forward to this game, especially since I am a trophy hunter! :)
nice review
getting this game tomorrow
its time to pwn some werewolves
LiangHuBBB Thanks
I don't know really. I thought this game was incredible. Yes there were alottttttt of quick-time events but I felt like they were needed. Like what else were they gonna do (I'm mainly talking about the crate burning and the fights with the big Lycans) the sense of direction imo is good. It gives you a realistic feel of the world and what the character is experiencing. The story line was great also. It had a few twists. Some i expected like the (SPOILER ALERT FROM HERE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) rebels actually turning to be the good guys but I didn't expect Alastair to be a Lycan and his father be okay with. Overall it was a great game. I am a lover of cutscenes. And as long as there is great gameplay to back it up and great voice acting I am perfectly okay to have a lot of cutscenes. But this is just my opinion. I was really disappointed with the lack of respect IGN and Gamespot had for this game with review like 5.5 and 6.5.
There reviews did seem a bit petulant versus poignant.
Back in the Blockbuster days, this would've been your classic rental game. Great review as usual Karak.
I'm for cut scenes, they give me a chance to smoke while I play. But my oh my did this game OD on their cut scenes. This was a $60 movie more than anything. One Cut scene was so long not only was I able to break up my weed, roll up and take a couple of pulls. By the time it was time for me to take over the game play aspect, I immediately died because.... I forgot it was a fucking game. It wasn't the weed either....
