That's true and you make good points, but Portal 1 also isn't sold as a $60 game that is going to be a "filmic" experience.

Plus, portal had harder versions of all the maps and speedrun-esque challenges on top of that. Also portal had gameplay. It's not comparable in the least.

The dev is right but I'm not sure what he was expecting with a $60 five hour game with the final boss being a reskin of a random enemy and also a QTE.

And portal-based gameplay doesn't come up nearly as often as QTE and cover shooters.

If you go and you eat a steak, if you pay $100 for a steak that tastes like the best steak you've ever had in your life but it's only 200 grams versus paying the same price for the worst steak you could want--but it's all-you-can-eat. There's an argument to be made that one is better than the other depending on who you are. If you just want to be full all the time then all-you-can-eat terrible steak, maybe that's for you?

I didn't read any of this thread, and didn't know about this game until the OP. I wikipedia'd it and apparently it's 5 hours long for a $60 game.

Bioshock Infinite was about as long, yet a lot of people didn't care. Ok, maybe it was a bit longer because you'd have to retrace your steps through an area for bullshit reasons like the fight with the ghost.

People talking about length are missing the bigger picture: The Order is a cover shooter that's just a cover shooter. Gears of War was a cover shooter that also had a popular and nuanced multiplayer mode. Vanquish was a cover shooter that gave you insane toys to play with, including actual movement abilities. Uncharted was a cover shooter that was also Prince of Persia sometimes. Max Payne 3 was a cover shooter that was also MAX PAYNE.

People are fine with pressing a button to hug a wall, so long as you give them something fun on the side, which The Order doesn't have.

Sony exclusives since gow are a linear downslope in gameplay while rising the movie feel for the kind of casual that like this kind of thing. Gow is already a casualized DMC with a huge focus on feeling like you're playing a movie

that steak thing is a direct quote from the dev, who apparently has actually come from the shareware age

review embargo lifted today and it seems to be ggetting such great grades as 3.5/10 and 5/10

the highest i've seen was 6.5 from ign and imagine: party babies got a 7.5

can't wait for the dev to rant about game journalism being evil and how nintendo power is biased
