I learned my lesson from MCC about pre ordering.

For me it is the opposite. Its not about the time (because it doesn't take much), its about the money. This game isn't worth $60.

The 6-7 hours of game time seems like it is at least somewhat enjoyable, but has no replay.

More from Polygon:

quote:

But the real sin of The Order: 1886 isn't its shoddy storytelling or regrettable dialogue. No, the real problem is that it's all so incredibly boring.

Every moment of The Order: 1886, from the in medias res opening to the abrupt final battle, feels entirely predetermined. With the exception of a handful of gun battles, in which the player is free to decide in which order they will kill all the bad guys, Ready At Dawn is entirely unwilling to let go of the player's hand.

This is the sort of game that prompts you to hammer on the X button to break a thug's arm, but should you decide not to, Galahad will simply continue to hold the rogue's wrist and keep smooshing his face into a wall for all of eternity.


eta: They gave it 5.5/10

Let me clarify

If you're going to give me a mediocre or only meh game, for me to spend $60 on it, it should be longer

7-8 hours of excellence, I'll drop $60
15-20 hours of "it's alright", I'll consider dropping $60

7-8 hours of "it's alright"...frick no

Definitely passing up on this game. Wasn't really intrigued by the story to start with, and that seems to be one of the only decent qualities of the game

It's been known this is a shallow third person shooter. Don't really know what you've been expecting.

It's a graphical showcase with subpar gameplay and a short story.

So the worse the game is, the longer you want to play it?

Ugh, I loathe Polygon so much.

At least I get some of the comedy through twitter. LINK

not the worse. If a game is ok, but nothing special...moderately fun, I want more of that fun

if a game is a home run, I don't care how long it is (but obviously longer is better)

Unless it's coming out on PC you're going to be waiting awhile.

Bloodborne will be my first PS4 purchase in a long time.

I'll still play it, but I'll either wait until it drops in price or is free on PSN.

I've been watching this stream for over 3 hours now. It's a bit too linear but everything else has been awesome.
