Welp temptation got the better of me and I pre-ordered all 3 special editions of the game, the Collectors+Premium from Amazon and the Euro Collectors edition from Amazon UK. I wanted both statues and the pendant.



Total: US $342

My play-time of the order was about 10 hours on the normal difficulty. The split between gameplay and cut-scene is about 70 / 30 to gameplay and during my time playing I never felt that the cut scenes were taking over and I was just sitting there watching a movie.

Here's to the new us.

The last part of that shortened URL is "zing story" which is all I need to know that's it's probably not a very good review of The Order: 1886.0/10.

They look like monsters to you?
I got the premium edition free and just finished it under 6 hours. My review

Pros
- excellent graphics
- excellent sound design

Cons
- false advertising. I fought zero vampires and 5 wolves.
- might as well have been call of duty 1886 with the amount of humans I killed
- standard gears of war gameplay with no new innovation

The backdrop of this new ip has potential but they really need a good story teller to write the next one.

Nice troll, they brought in the Emmy-award winning script writer of HBO's John Adams, this will be the first game story that manages to surpass the very best of what other media can offer.

I give this game a Hold. It’s not a bad game, but the inexplicable game design decisions that bog it down, and the relatively short amount of time you actually spend playing, make it a tough sell at $60. It’s one of those games I find myself liking, but even more so wishing were something more—more the game it could have been, and less the game it is.

I don't know anything about this website but that review is so horribly written from a technical standpoint, I mean if you told me a 12 year old wrote it I would 100% believe you.

I mean it's really depressing, especially if that guy got paid. :psyduck:

Shenmue was the first big one. RE 4 and God of War popularized it.

Although Shenmue coined the term Quick Time Event, the amount of QTEs in the first game is refreshingly low compared to other game elements (free battles, open-world exploration, investigation conversations, stealth sections, etc.)

And as far as the true "first big one"...

At least the Order is pro-civil rights. I mean, it even comes with two black bars. Those bars take up 31% of screen when I tried measuring it.

I preordered this game with my PS4 so I guess I'm getting a mediocre game in the mail tomorrow!

Regular PS4s were all sold out at the time so I had to preorder one of those PS4 bundles with your choice of game. I chose The Order: 1886 just cuz it had a potentially-interesting setting and that was pretty much all we knew about the game at the time!

At the time I did think it was kind of weird that it was one of the preorder choices, seeing as they never said a release date at the time and it definitely wouldn't be with the console release. But now I'm finally getting the game I ordered with my console, wheee

Cliff Hanger, which was just a Lupin III movie chopped up into a game, was also better because it had TWO buttons (hand and foot)!
