...Are there seriously people believing the whole dick length to game length comparison?
What a sad day.
What a sad day.
Whew! Someone definitely needed to post that. So far, I'm not a big fan of the game, but I'd hate to see everyone boycott it because of something said in a joke news article.Mister K said:
I like mine to be entrancing, so I can get lost in it as I gaze at it for hours on end.Frankster said:
I'd be surprised to see someone in the AAA industry say something like that, but some of the tantrums we've seen among insulted indie devs have made it more believable.Dragonbums said:

What're you talking about? Bethedsa can't even fit in the locker room if their junk is in there. Blizzard, meanwhile, is the Jormungandr of Gaming Cocks, the Phallus that Surrounds the World.Caiphus said:
Perspective is important when talking about gamejunk. GG, The Order. We hardly played thee.
This is probably the greatest thread taco has ever posted. Also I'm kinda sad so many fell for it.

The amount of people here not realizing that this is satirical news ala the Onion is actually the funniest aspect of this "report."
Having said that how many of you have actually played and beaten the order? Because I have, and it's a pretty good game suffering from being the first game in an intended franchise. It feels like an origin story for Grayson (aka Victorian steampunk batman) instead of its own self contained narrative. But it's still a GOOD game. Not the best game I've ever played by any means, but certainly not deserving of all the vitriol being thrown at it.
Here's the thing, The Order does actually have a lot of gameplay, firefights last much longer than you expect them to and have a good degree of difficulty. You have your normal mooks peppering your position with rifle and automatic fire, while there are shotgun mooks trying to flank you, grenadiers and the elite mooks (who use thermite rifles which can light your cover on fire, or grenade launchers) are forcing you to constantly change positions. I liked the feel of the shooting, it felt responsive and the weapon variety is very nice. I did have to laugh though because early on your character says "we do not fight men, Marquis" after having just shot about twenty guys. And yes, the combat is mostly guys with about three or four Lycan fights interspersed throughout the game. And it felt like a wasted opportunity.
Maybe I was able to enjoy the game because I didn't have to worry about getting my money's worth. I got the game used at GameStop, beat it in about three days, and took it back. They have a seven day money back guarantee so I basically played it for free. And when divorced from worries about whether or not it was worth 60$, it was a very fun experience and I honestly hope a sequel gets made that fleshes out the world and characters more. Because it's a very cool world, and they're very interesting characters. I wanted there to be more of it. Anyway that turned into kind of a mini review but I encourage everyone who has not yet played it to pick up a used copy when you can and experience it, it's worth it.

I'd caution naysayers that whilst The Order: 1886 may only look like a three hour game it will grow on you.

I wonder whether this is going to get reported on different site and if the developers are going to hate mail from the people who think this is actually real.
Of course if there is one thing I've learned about the gamer community it's that real or not doesn't matter when they want to fling shit at something.

Game Length isn't really a worthwhile singular goal a game should have.
There are plenty enough games that are short but good because they're replayable.
How long does it take to beat Super Mario Kart? Like, 15 minutes per circuit. How much time do you spend playing it? Years.
For some games, if single play through is the main goal of the game, length to keep the game interesting may come into play. Skyrim for example isn't particularly interesting in terms of combat. A lot of quests are fetch, kill one thing, find one thing, talk to one person, ect. but there's like 1000 of them. I put in only 300 hours and if the game ended in just 10 hours of playing, I'd have only played like two times.
I don't personally complain about the length of games. I would argue that's merely something people complain about because they don't really understand what they want or how to ask for it. Games can lack sufficient content. Day 1 DLC is not the answer there. It feels a lot like clipping existing content.
If developers are designing the games around "Let's make the game X amount of hours long." they're doing it wrong.
The business model of making customers pay $80 with another $40 in DLC exists because people are paying it. If you have the time, energy and money to buy a new game every week with a full time job you may only want a 6~8 hour experience so you can do the next thing.
I personally prefer games like Diablo where I can play it for months and years.

The funniest part about this REPORT is that people think it's a joke.
PsychicTaco is one of the few true real legit journalists we have left in this industry.
He is my number one source for news and info, after Play4Real of course.
I feel kinda embarrassed for you guys honestly.
