Agreed…and the ending definitely set it up for a sequel!

Anyway, still a gorgeous looking game and one of my favorite sony 1st party games last gen (bought it twice both physically and digitally). I'm dumbfounded at Sony for not getting Ready at Dawn into the fold when they had the chance...

Serious question…can anyone remember why people were so hard on this game? I somewhat remember it being mostly about the length of it, but can’t fully remember.

It came out during a time when most people wanted every game to be a 50hr open world game.

That’s what I was thinking too…it’s like we’ve come full circle and people want shorter games lol.
I’d have to look, but I think I got like 12-14 hours or so out of it for the platinum. That’s really not terrible…especially since I wanted Assassins Creed Valhalla to end at like 5 hours lol

Holy shit I may need find a way to play this in 60fps.
Edit: So how exactly do you do this? Do you just download an old firmware file onto a usb drive and install it?
If I could play this, Spiderman PS4 with Peter's original face and drive club in 60fps that would be so sweet!

Can anyone confirm that it doesn’t run at 60 on ps5? Is it locked at 30?
I would play through this again in a heartbeat.

That’s what I assumed from the OP, but was hoping that I misinterpreted. I secretly wanted to play-through again at 60

Not to mention the fact that you're saved by mother fucking King Arthur in the end. Unbelievable.
We also could have gotten to see 1900's New York CIty or something with Vampires!
End me.

I've never seen a game get so much hate before launch. I was super hyped for it but ended up really underwhelmed; it just wasn't fun. Also, I was deeply dissapointed all the cool historical figures were wasted, like Tesla, Jack the Ripper. There were only mere references to them.

Yep. Was like Underworld meets Kingsman. Man, this hurts even more.
A young Tesla designed your tech. MOTHERFUCKING NIKOLA TESLA!
The lab was so cool too.

I know man! Do you understand how fucking sick it would be to make Westminster the game's hub world and have Tesla's Lab as the place to upgrade weapons and gear as well as change outfits. If this game had a sequel presented in a more linear-open world fashion comparable to God of War 2018 it would sell like hot cakes.Yep. Was like Underworld meets Kingsman. Man, this hurts even more.

Young Tesla making your Ratchet & Clank esque weapons. Perfection.gif
That's all the first game really needed to me. The length was never an issue for me personally. It released when everyone pined for Ubishit lengths at all times. It was refreshing as shit in 2014 to get a tight experience that didnt waste your time.
What sucked was only being able to play with that thermite gun and whatever the thing was that shot out those electrical bolts and literally nuke popped guys into blood and dust (reminded me A LOT of that one gun from District 9).
We needed more experimental weaponry. What a dick tease

I’d be happy if we kept the visual fidelity at that level moving forward and focused on AI and other elements that will improve gameplay.

As much as I’d like to see a sequel to The Order I believe it’s unfair to blame only Sony. Non of us worked there so you don’t know how the cooperation looked.
As I recall Sony Santa Monica helped with the production. There were also rumors that Sony is buying RaD. Maybe that was the plan but the production wasn’t going smooth and after launch Sony decided that they don’t want to go through this again.
Anyway for RaD it wasn’t easy, they had new CEO and left AAA games. Maybe it speaks about the problems they had. Now they belong to Meta and it’s over. Still I like to think that some day Sony or one of their studios purpose a sequel and they contact Ru for cooperation. Eh, won’t happen but I can dream.

They nailed almost everything on that game. Only forget the "game" part...

Like what...? PS 5 Pro will run old games at 60 but no the first model of PS5? That sounds dumb and stupid but also sounds like a thing that Jim Ryan seal of aproval.

For me Is a decent game just the the fights with the wolfs (not the werewolfs) is so dumb.

This game was absolute trash. It would have been a mediocre budget priced tech demo launch title, let alone a full priced release a year+ into the generation. I got the plat in one four hour play through and never went back.
Idk what is worse, the terribly written story or the fact that the developers treated the story like a high quality work of art. Also hated how any time you got a cool weapon the game seemed to tease you with it for a couple of firefights then took it away. Really killed any potential replay value for me.

Game has a lots of potential. It's still a mediocre game but the world, character concept, lore,.. are really interesting. Core gameplay is good too except the melee.
Would be great if we can see a sequel. Naughty Dog can be a perfect fit for this IP.

They are making everything they can to sh*t on PlayStation. Those guys have some serious mental issues!

The gameplay was total mess & boring as hell. They tried to make their own Gears of war & failed hard.

If I remember well, the gameplay was the biggest issue. I liked the atmosphere and the story also was interesting. There are well liked games with bad gameplay, but with great story and atmosphere like the "Deadly Premonition", but The Order 1886 was also very short... like you only got half of the game.

Fair enough! Yea I do remember the gameplay being slow, with potential. The story did it for me. I’m still putting it at a 7/10 tops though. Would love to revisit with quality of life improvements though.

Game was too short/unfinished, i played my copy few weeks after launch, it bombed so hard it got discounted to like 20-25$ only after few weeks, enjoyed it a lot for the graphics and setting, shooting mechanics were great too, what sucked were boss fights vs those werewolves, which was terrible quick time event, very boring, so basically game started great, then after like 5-6hours of fun time u got 2 boring qte bossfights and thats it, story was basically ended half way with it barely picking up w/o culmination or ending.

With you on the price for sure. I think I got it around $19.99 or something not terribly long after releases. I might feel different about it if I paid full price lol
