The Order 1886
I ordered this one and then cancelled it last night. Just not hearing anything good. I'm 99% a single player gamer and the 5 hour issue had me worried.
anybody?
anybody?
Re: The Order 1886
I preordered it, and I'll keep my preorder. If I beat it in 5 hours, then so be it. Been there before with Ryse on XB1. I haven't read anything around on it, though, so maybe that helps.
Re: The Order 1886
I am getting it. Yes there's a video around of this dude finishing it in 5 hours. But apparently he went thru so many things gone unchecked while playing it CoD style. Not what this title is meant for. I am hearing between 8 and 12 hours if explored properly with a bunch of cut scenes in between. It's supposed to look gorgeous and I am keeping my pre-order.

Re: The Order 1886
I like the sound of that. Speed runs have no interest to me.
Re: The Order 1886
Thanks for the feedback. Can you guys post some impressions once you snag it?
Re: The Order 1886
I'm in. Looks gorgeous.

Good review and interview with the reviewer http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/19/806355 ... -exclusive
Re: The Order 1886
I guess I am in the minority but I am glad I kept the pre-order. I can see why the current trigger be happy generation finds this game rather dull but for this aging dude, I am enjoying the story very much. Like wine, the older the setting, the better. Perhaps it's not as gripping as the narrative in he 'Last of Us' but I don't agree with the mediocre reviews it got.
Gorgeous visuals describing the 19th century while the cinematics blend rather well with the gameplay. Again, I can see why this current no patience generation may choose to pass on this game, but there's something more than a third person shooter here.

Re: The Order 1886
Still enjoying the game very much. I am probably half way thru the story which while not at par with 'The Last of Us' is still pretty good. It starts slow but as you get better weapons and the story unfolds it gets better and better. Here's a clip I took after yesterday's gameplay.

I loved the world, the characters and the story. The graphics and sound are amazing. I thought the gameplay was meh.

off topic: did you ever catch up to date with Archer? Your thoughts?

Re: The Order 1886
Hey Vinny! No -unfortunately, I stopped after the second season. Playing soccer 4 times a week and kids have killed any other free time so it's often games vs. TV (and I pick the former). Will definitely be getting back into it soon!
re: The Order - we're both big fans of atmosphere and story in games, I think you'd enjoy The Order, I just wish it played better. If you paired the characters and setting from The Order with the gameplay of Gears of War you'd have a killer game.
