You're the bane of my exsistance?

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

So awesome. This would be a good moment to point out I'm more of a Sith gal. I like their mindset better. If I were a Star Wars character, I'd probably be a Dark Jedi though.

If Japanese game developers keep releasing games like these I'll probably become a weaboo in the next few months…

I like the way you think. I also believe that the Sith philosophy trumps the Jedi's.

The Order 1886 is filled to the brim with cutscenes?

Then why not just make it a movie Seriously, if the line between the video games and movies is getting so blurred, then what's even the point of making them games… The gameplay should always be the most important thing.

Some stories are to big for movie, but I get your point. I've played The Order at a convention and while I love 3rd person cover based shooters (what a mouth full), it felt very forced and slow. Still, the setting and story are what caught my interest in the first place. So the movie people complain, the more I want this game right here, right now.

But I'll wait for the €20 price drop that is bound to happen. ^^

Then make it a book or a trilogy of movies.
Or make a 10 hour game with good gameplay.
Or make an RPG because it's the most appropriate genre for story heavy games instead of making a TPS just because it's what's popular nowadays and thus will guarantee sales.

The Order 1886 is filled to the brim with cutscenes?

This has got to be the strangest reaction to hearing a game has loads of cutscenes I've ever seen.

I don't think many people would be jumping with joy to hear that a game can't tell it's story without halting gameplay completely and having you sit though a long movie clip (or a bunch of frequent small ones). Games like Uncharted are pretty neat, because many of the cinematics have a fair bit of interaction, and you are almost never completely out of control except for a few pre-rendered scenes here and there. I don't know what the Order 1886 is like, but it would benefit from going the Uncharted route more than the MGS4 route… as would every story-focused game.

Obviously it might be a bit overboard, but I like it when games have a shardston of cutscenes and quicktime events. I'm not sure whether The Order has done it right, but it's welcome to try.

Yea, I usually like to actually play my games. And nothing sticks out quite like QTEs and massive cutscenes. It strikes me as lazy game design.

I don't like how critical I'm becoming

I just really love the setting in this game:


The FirstLook demo was pretty good. But since it's not from a franchise I know, I've decided to wait for a pricedrop like usual. Really, wait one year and you'll safe yourself 40EUR.

Too bad it's about as long as ItN

I haven't played it, but from what I understand, I would be more pissed off that it isn't a good game. (Again, haven't played, can't verify)

Yes, from what I've heard it's getting nasty criticism about the poor gameplay and short length. A lot of people claim it is not worth their money.

Here's that damned HG again with her stupid 3D TVs. My sister had a 3D HV and yada yada. Well, she recently bought a PS3 for her boyfriend. He's one of those Call of Duty/FIFA/Battlefield and nothing more kinda guys. So I did the obvious, I gave him Uncharted 3 and said: ''Look, a game you can play in 3D! Now ain't that fun?''.

So I was at their place yesterday. Really wanted to see for myself. I was in for a few surpises. First when I started the game I was greeted not by Nolan North, but the Dutch host of ShowNews. I didn't want to mess with his settings so I braced myself and took it (didn't even know they made a Dutch sub). But my sister begged me to change it, thank the Maker. Anyway. The 3D glasses were charged, I got Nate to the jungle in France.. I put the 3D glasses on to look at the awesome 3D view and… it's crap. I almost asked: ''Did you turn them on yet?'' but I slid them off and saw the blurry screen. Since Uncharted 3 was the reason for me to get a 3D TV, I guess the whole plan is out of the window. However… Uncharted 3 looked like Uncharted 4 on their 1080 TV. New plan! A curved 2D 1080p TV ^^

Oh, btw. Framedrops? What framedrops? It was smooth as a new iPhone screen when you just took the plastic protection off.

The Order is supposed to be around 10 hours. Which is fairly short, especially when it's mostly ' film'. Final Fantasy XIII has 7 hours(!) of cutscenes, but the game is 40 hours long.
