The Order: 1886 (PS4)

Four of our five main EGM reviewers (myself being the exclusion) played the game. Three of those people played it to completion, one got decently far but I'm not sure he actually beat it. They all came to pretty much the same conclusion. The problem really isn't its length, its what it does with that time, and the overall gameplay. It sounds to me like a project that, somewhere, just went wrong, and the options were to either scrap it completely or release what could be salvaged and hope it sells some copies.

Sounds like the perfect $10 game in a month or two.

So is this to be the PS4's Lair then?

How many people defended Lair after it came out? Because I blacked out my NeoGAF REVIEW BINGO card 5 minutes after the embargo lifted.

I still haven't played Lair.

Liar.

me neither ;o

I've been telling my friend/co-worker who pre-ordered it not to due to those reasons but eh, it's his money. It seemed like RAD didn't want to overpromise and go overbudget so instead of making a Gears of War they settled for a Ryse: Son of Rome but it still bothers me that they didn't implement any type of coop or online multiplayer. Hell even Ryse had multiplayer and that was a launch game!

It was equally disappointing in games like Binary Domain and Bulletstorm where you had AI buddies that friends couldn't control for coop. I just hope RAD ups their game and add in these features for a sequel because this first one seems like a $20 story primer for me.

sadly, I don't see there being an Order 1887

I could definitely see it, PS4 owners are hungry for more big budget exclusives and this one's been getting a lot of hype and controversy. I'm sure it'll sell well enough for Sony to greenlight a sequel unless the reviews make a big impact on sales.
