The Order: 1886

[Dee]

This was supposed to be one of PS4's AAA exclusives, and yet it's been bashed for it's short length (someone did a speed run in 5 hours, but the average seems to be from 7-10), it's lackluster storyline, and the fact that it seems to be missing something else. I have seen several reviews that say it's a "fun" play, that the graphics are gorgeous, the guns are awesome and fun, and, for the most part, it is relatively easy to get through; however, The Order: 1886 has fallen short of gamer's expectations. I thought I might be getting this title myself, but after reading the reviews, I think I might pass for now. If I can find it at a Redbox, I'll play it, but so far I haven't been able to track any down.

Anyone else going to play this one?

From what I've read, that and your post. I'd rather have my time go towards a different PS4 game.

If you can be over and done with it that quickly, it should be sold at a lower price.

Looks ok. Not enough for me to buy a PS4 though.

Posting a reply I made on a gaming forum. My two cents on the game:

I beat it in two days at around 7-9 hours (could've been longer, I wasn't keeping track), and I got it for about $2.75 out of my own pocket. That being said, it's worth more than the two seventy-five I paid, but probably more like a $40 dollar game tops. I'd rate it around a 6.5-7, but only a 7 for SOME aspects of the game. Overall, I'd say it's worth a 6.5 without getting into any spoilers, but I will say this. It most definitely has potential. The game has done a lot of things right, but it also failed to impress me in many other aspects. The good news is that it did end on a cliffhanger, which could either take it in a good or a bad direction. I really hope Ready At Dawn decides to sequel this and learn from their mistakes. Not all the fans are right about what's wrong with the game, but many have good points and those points are voiced by several people with different subjective views about the game. Honestly, if they put out a sequel, and if it looked good and if they had heeded warnings and taken into consideration what they didn't do right with the first game, it could seriously blow it out of the water with a second release. I wanted to really love this game, but I just don't and that's kind of sad. I do, however, like a lot of things about it, and I am not going to trade it in. For now, I'm keeping it. I may pop it back in again just to play for the atmosphere (good lord, it is gorgeous), but for those who are pissing and moaning about it being too short and mediocre for a $60 price tag, just wait for it to go down in price--simple as that.
