Rented this from Redbox. I took the disc back after the round table conference room cutscene. Making me walk around that huge table without sprint after starting me right next to the drat exit but having 3 people block me is not a game I want to play.

To each their own, but I must live in some bizarre reality where Microsoft's products work just fine for me. I don't want to start a retarded console warrior flamewar full of edgy and hilarious jokes about how "underpowered" the "xbone" is, so I'll just say this: Sony and the PS4 are far from perfect, and The Order is a perfect representation of that.

I even posted this video in the Shark Tank, and did a stream of the game earlier that was really more at Sony/The Order's expense than Microsoft's. There are no sacred cows. :getin:

Exactly. That's the point I was trying to get across. There should be a more "generalized" type thread for this kind of thing, in my opinion, but was just stating my main thoughts after watching that video, which does a good job de-constructing everything that went wrong with The Order.

The Shark Thread has kind of become a bit more general, actually; Microsoft just happens to gently caress up more often and usually (but not always) in a more spectacularly embarrassing fashion.

I was never interested in the Xbone so I don't know what happened with the MCC. What was wrong with it?

It launched with online matchmaking completely broken and a bunch of other problems and still isn't 100% fixed now months later.

I think a big part of a PS4 mocking thread not existing is because most of the master race just don't care enough. I could mock console users all day for paying for internet and not being able to play simple media formats and whatnot but I would be alone. The only ones that really care for this poo poo are other console users and the poo poo you have to put up with a PS4 have counterparts on the bone but not the contrary, so they are "universally accepted" by console users.
But you should read the sharktank if you don't, microsoft gently caress ups are really funny.

- Even if you purchase the game on disc, you have to download about 18 gigs worth of data to play multiplayer online (it was 15 at launch). If you get it digitally it's about 61 gigs.
- Even if you just want to play single player it installs Halo 4 first (takes 15 minutes), then Halo 1 (another 15 minutes) and then Halo 2 which takes a really long time to install and then Halo 3 which also takes a while. It's a good 45 minutes to an hour+ before you can play Halo 2, a.k.a. the one they remastered.
- Matchmaking is seriously broken and has been since launch. Impossible game types (e.g. 11 people in 10-person game, and it's balanced 7v4 or worse), even if matchmaking works it takes a few minutes to do its thing and the game has a high chance of crashing while loading the map, so you end up with people trying to game all night and getting in 4 games if they're lucky. It's been slowly getting better but is still well below what most people would consider acceptable and we're 4 full months after the game's release.
- Bugs galore including falling through level geometry, content not unlocking, saves and achievements getting wiped.

There are a ton more, someone online somewhere maintains a pages-long list of serious bugs.

As much as I despise The Order, it was a working game with a miniscule Day 1 patch.

Awesome!

The OMG NO 1080P MY PIXELS :qq: discussion is stupid for two reasons: The XBox One isn't marketed as a dedicated gaming console and more as a AIO entertainment device for the living room, and if people wanted graphics so mind-blowing, there are, again, other platforms to consider. While spergs are on PS4s, PCs, or whatever staring at polygons and pixels of a tree up close, I'll be running around buildings at light speed turning other players into swiss cheese and making giant robots explode in TitanFall in a couple weeks. It still looks great for what it is, but you would swear some people think it looks like a stuttering version of Atari's Adventure.

Complaints are warranted, but it's just grasping at straws in my eyes at this point.

And I stand by the general idea of that post: Graphics aren't everything. The Order is a perfect example of a bad game that's barely playable, but hey, at least it's not an xbox title running at 720p, amirite?

I finally played this. I liked it by the end, but I was really frustrated with how drawn out things were for the first few hours. It felt like they spent too long making a pretty engine and had to rush gameplay in to sell it. This easily had the worst pacing of any game I've played. I'd still give a sequel a chance.

That 65 The Order has on Metacritic is pretty generous. I've played games with scores like that that are passably fun.
