Couple of things brer, it was a 6minute video not an article done by a guy who lambasted MCC, Drive Club and Unity and after all of them he's just saying dont pre-order this game for 5 reasons cos he's played the latest demo build. 4 of the 5 reasons are cos its just a bit rubbish but only one of the reasons relates to bugs that he says could be fixed by time of release. In the light of the games that have launched broken, he's advising people to just wait for reviews which isnt that bad really.

For Clarity:

Why are you so bothered? You're never going to play it.

I watch a lot of Higtons videos and the abuse he's getting on twitter is uncalled for so I'm just saying the video isn't THAT bad.

He warned people about pre-ordering those too? Oh okay, I didn't realise that.

When is the game out? I know it sounds ridiculous, but maybe we could wait until then before defending/attacking it further.

Will it be good? Will it be bad? We won't know until the game is released. But this video is more about saying 'don't buy the game' and using the pro-consumer argument of 'don't pre-order games' to disguise it.

Previews of media in real journalism generally adopt a tone of cautious optimism. This means looking forward to the potential of a movie/album/game whilst mindful of any signficant factors that could impact the quality, always remembering that it is the final product that is reviewed. There are a lot of questions about the Batman Vs Superman movie. Such as the quality of the script, the excess of superhero cameos, the director etc. But on the other hand it has so much potential, so rather than Empire or any other website poo-pooing preordering tickets (i know you can't a year and a half in advance) or the DVD they recognise that there is so much that could be great and every preview is cautiously optimistic - If it's a dud they will tell you in their review.

A preview should remain a preview so you don't give your readers/viewers your opinion on buying (preordering) it. People check out reviews for a buying decision and this preview is telling people don't preorder/buy it without Higton having played the final game. It's unprofessional and the fact that the usual Xbox cheerleader whose name I won't say... PHOTEK! is celebrating the video shows that it has been created to tap into the console wars and generated a ton of hits. The video has done it's job, it's worked out brilliantly for Eurogamer, it's been discussed on GRcade and GAF - expect to see more of this in the future. Come February, The Order:1886 may turn out to be terrible misfire from Sony, but that doesn't mean Ian Higton is vindicated as you shouldn't review a game from a preview. I don't know what it is - but this isn't games journalism.

I like the look of it. But it's the kind of thing that I wish they'd done a Hell Blade/First Light with.

3-4 hour discounted downloadable game.

£50 for this does seem pretty crazy from what we've seen.

Although never let him play a driving game, jesus H christ. Nothing like watching someone flail about for ages trying to get a hang of the controls to make gripping viewing :roll:

Stunning graphics, such a shame to see them wasted on what appears to be another average Gears of War clone.

Still...

What's going on with that last DLC trailer, everyone's mouths and words are out of sync. Is it a fan remix?

PostRe: The Order 1886 by **Poser** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 10:52 am

A trailer for DLC for a game that everyone is still largely unconvinced about. :fp:

Eurogamer kicked off the fashion for writing articles about why they are not convinced about the game and they seemed to spawn a cottage industry of like-minded articles. Now it may well be that the game is terrible or broken and I have tried to see if there is any correlation between these scathing pre-reviews; the common criticism I've seen is about it being cinematic and having QTEs, although not criticising the controls. And generally my interpretation is that some of these reviewers are attacking The Order for the expectations they have of the game about it being a PS4 exclusive. But if the game plays badly they should explicitly say 'the controls are clunky, it feels like gooseberry fool'. Not 'I've got a bad feeling' which is not really communicating.

It was available to play by the public at EGX and PSX and no significant bad feedback has come back. I love the world setting and have pre-ordered so I will look past these pre-reviews and judge this one for myself. :simper:

The latest trailer detailing DLC and the release date makes the game look pretty wicked to me. The visuals are off the wall. I'm still buying it, strawberry float Eurogamer.
