How Do People Think That The Order: 1886 Will Turn Out?

I expect the mainstream review sites to really push the gorgeous visuals and downplay the gameplay elements.
If for some reason the game does not score particularly well then I expect to see social media posts from fanboys questioning whether the concept of review scores is still valid (as we saw with Knack.)

I like this logic for the wrong reasons. The media has been taking a dump on this game for quite a while and have gone out of their way to make it known that they don't like what they see AND yet, some people are working under the impression that the game is a media darling.

I expect I'm going to enjoy it quite a bit, while lots of people complain about it in a vague non-specific way that makes me doubt that they've even played it.

You are free to disagree, of course. I just happen to be very cynical about game reviews having grown up reading them in the 80s and 90s.

Very good presentation and overall atmosphere but probably extremely shitty to play and that will most likely average it between the 7.5 - 8.5.

Best case scenario: Gears of War with a better aesthetic
Worst case scenario: A very pretty third person shooter that is an absolute bore to play and choked to the gills with non-interactive cinematic hogwash

I see it scoring like the first AC. A love it or hate it type game.
There actually is kind of a lot riding on it so I doubt Sony would let it go out straight up bad.

7/10 in average when it comes to reviews I guess. Impressions so far have been pretty lukewarm and past tells us that devs usually don't turn that around with the finally game.
Well from your post there is only one thing that can be reasoned - you will not trust any review unless it's a negative one. You're free to think that way. You're definitely not alone in that thinking. I am just saying, I find that logic awkward and amusing at the same time.
An extremely pretty yet very average shooter? That's at least what I imagine the general consensus being.
But, since you've played it and are happy to answer questions.... I might be asking too much but, from what you played, does the game focus/prioritize human v human combat or is it more focused on the werewolves?

The press loves cinematic corridor shooters with cutscenes everywhere, somewhere along 85-95% meta-c. Fanboys will fall over everywhere and gifs will flood the "next gen car-racing graphics comparison"
DLC will be announced shortly after and of course it's overpriced as the newly uncovered MP mode sux ass to begin with.
A new thread will be made about stories in vidya gems and if the game would come out on top at the theorethical video game academy awards and every time a "Best horror game?" thread is made, expect the game to be mentioned for the first few months.
Then the layoffs hit Sony and the sequel that was halfway finished has to be converted for iOS as Apple buys out the competition in an unexpected business move that will leave Neogaf legit shook. The Order 2 Lycans of 1942 will be the third most successful horror dating sim on iOS the year it comes out. Germany will ban the game but I didn't want to play it anyway.

Will get a lot of 6's and 7's. The gameplay reveals for this game has been terrible at best. My only conclusion for the baffling gameplay reveals is that RAD wants to keep the story and more interesting gameplay bits close to their vest...at least I hope that is the reason.
Unless RAD are hiding something fantastic, I'm seeing a Metacritic score between 65 and 70 for The Order.

I don't think Sony is that hands on with quality. I mean, they let Knack, Battlefield 4 (multiplayer issues), and Killzone Shadowfall be launch titles for the PS4.
Sorry, I meant Knack is game of the generation.

Didn't get an answer before, so what makes this game bad/bland/boring but makes Gears good and fun? Because I don't see it.

I think it will have a Meta Critic score around 75-80, but will have a decent sized fanbase because of its settings/graphics.

Except most previews are based on a small portion of the game. To a story-driven game like The Order, a short demo can't really do the game any justice. To know how the game will actually turn out, we can't do anything but waiting
Yeah I liked seeing the Daxter screen in you article! Can you tell me if there are any long uninterrupted portions of gameplay in The Order? Or do cutscenes or those parts where you barely have any control constantly breaking things up?
I think it'll be in the 6-7s range, which isn't bad considering it's RAD's first AAA game but it seems to me the gameplay lacks substance. It just feels so run of the mill and dull. I can see why some people may enjoy it though but I'm disappointed that RAD built this great technology, world, ideas and what to do they give us? Another cinematic-heavy third person shooter.

7/10 for me.
I generally don't trust reviews from entities that have some sort of incentive- financial, review copies, whatever. I found I was happiest when I just stopped letting reviews influence my purchase decisions. I just play what I want to play regardless of how somebody else thinks about the game.
Be that as it may- this thread asked how we think The Order will be perceived. I am simply offering my opinion. Glad it amuses you.

thanks knack
Never.. The demo goes for about 40 minutes and i'd say that there was about 2-3 minutes of non-playable cutscenes...
You're not alone in that too.

I'll predict 77 on Metacritic.

Can't imagine i'll have it out from gamefly for long.
I think the problem is that some of the gameplay parts look like uncontrollable cutscenes when you just watch it.

Reviews will be very polarized 5-9 range. Overall 70. But GAF will love it
I hope it plays well and has a decent length + great story. Love the setting and cast.

It's also probably not a good sign when the demo literally starts with an interactive cutscene.. It's the only one in the whole demo though...

More hyped for the review thread now then the game. I'll like the game I'm sure but the thread...man, that thread is going to be epic. It will start out half civil for about 20 posts then the drive-bys will start. Feelings will get hurt and after some QTEs, people will start shit posting. Bish will come in and start sending people to the graveyard. Juniors will be the first to go and the smart members will refrain from entering into the fray but a person can only hold their tongue for so long and then BAM! Oblivion.
Games going to good, though. Couldn't give two shits about review scores.

The drive-by usually start at post #5-8, sometimes, even less. Mind you, posters are aware that post #1-5 drive-by's will have mod-hawks in them - so shit post at your own peril. I've noticed that - posters adapt.
