Space Ace was better. It actually had branching paths!

It's actually pretty frickin' sad that Space Ace, a thirty year old game, has more meaningful interactivity than The Order.

it also only cost a few quarters to play instead of 60 bux also don bluth owns

Wasn't it originally a full $1 and more expensive to play than any other machine of the time?

Thank you for looking out for me; a PS4 owner.

You're welcome. I understand that there are a lot of things that trigger PS4 owners, especially when it comes to video games on other platforms.

The wait for a video game on the PS4 continues as The Order turned out to be an officially exclusive movie for the PS4. I believe this is ok as PS4 owners have been used to only using the PS4 console as a bluray player for close to 2 years now.

It was 50 cents or a dollar for a while, yes. In fact I don't remember ever playing it for only a single quarter.

Yeah it was a dollar plus a typical game lasted like 30 seconds since the QTEs were really unclear, especially if the arcade turned off the indication flashes.

That's not fair, I have also watched Netflix on mine, and played HD remasters and rereleases of games released on older consoles and PC.

Neo Rasa: Mar 8, 2007; Everyone should play DUKE games.

LOL

quote:

I�ve never liked the time=quality argument that some people seem to want to apply to games. I took a look at my Destiny profile this morning and I�ve spent about 140 hours on that game. If you don�t count World of Warcraft I think that�s probably a new record for me. It�s pretty rare that I reach the 100 hour mark in a game. In the past it has only ever happened with Pokemon Diamond and Final Fantasy tactics. I loved those games obviously but I would not say I loved them anymore than a games like Rez, Brothers or Last of Us. At no point do I ever consider the length of time I played a game to be in anyway connected with my enjoyment of it.

I can tell you that I wish Dragon Age:Inquisition had been shorter. I spent almost 50 hours on that game before I got bored and quit. I wish I could have seen that story to it�s conclusion but I just couldn�t stick it out. I still consider it a great game and one that I really enjoyed. The truth is, I wish more games clocked in at the 6-10 hour mark. I find that to be the sweet spot for my tastes but I�m not going to get upset if the vision a developer has for a title doesn�t line up exactly with my personal desires.

There are long games that suck and there are short games that can blow you away. It�s a ridiculous argument and it�s one that Polygon leverages here for the purpose of getting people riled up. Tycho explains it really well in his news post today so I won�t bother covering the same topic. What I will do is give you an alternative to their bullshit.

Just read Reddit. It�s where all these news sites get their stories so you might as well just cut out the middle man. When you see headlines like �How many people did John Wick kill? �You can beat the Order 1886 in five hours� or �Some guy solo�s Destiny�s hardest raid!� you can be sure that I already read those stories yesterday on Reddit. Not only that but I read them without the bullshit clickbait spin.

For me I actually made a big change to my bookmark bar a few weeks ago. I removed all the game news sites and replaced them with other stuff. I have quick links now to r/games, and r/gaming for general purpose game news. Then I have specific subreddits for the games I�m currently into. Right now it�s r/DestinyTheGame , r/monsterhunter , and r/hearthstone. The rest of my bookmarks now are just art sites that I like. I figure if I�m going to waste some time browsing the web it should be stuff that will inspire me or inform me rather than just piss me off. So now when I have some spare time I don�t go to Kotaku I go to Eat Sleep Draw. Instead of going to Polygon I go to Design Clever. I�ve had this new system for about a month now and I cannot tell you how much better I feel.

According to the reviews, if this was a movie, it would be a pretty lovely to average movie anyways, as the plot and dialog aren't that impressive. Seems the only thing that's above average are the graphics by themselves.

I'm loving this. I hope the devs have a mental breakdown and release another embarrassing interview post-release.

It just dawned on me that I saw a 20 minute gameplay demo of this once and it looked boring and uninspired as poo poo. Funny to think I saw a little under 1/4 of the game right there and then.

Meh, I'll still sit back and enjoy it. If what they say is true of it being graphically impressive than at least it will be fine to look at and ultimately give me a pleasurable gaming experience. I don't really have time to game much these days, so a 7 hour game play seems perfect for me.

You can't argue with this:

Literally no game has ever looked this good. It�s strange to even write that, but The Order: 1886 raises the bar so far above its contemporaries that it stands in a class by itself. Joined by a soundtrack that perfects the mood, The Order is a cinematic masterpiece. If you want to show off your PlayStation 4 to your friends, this is the title to showcase.
