Ready-up writes:

''Geoff Keighley eat your heart out, Ready Up has this years videogame awards all sorted. So without further ado lets roll out the still stained red carpets, count up the bribes and crack open the envelopes (which haven’t at all been steamed open and resealed) and see what the consensus was in a variety of exciting categories. We’re going to be discussing these a little more in the next podcast, so keep your ears peeled for that.''

It seems The Order is on mostly everyone's letdown or worse of 2015 list.

It'll be interesting to see the next big game that gets hyped to high heaven and then fails miserably.

Rimeskeem3784d ago

WTF do you mean hyped?

The game had more hate than any other game I have seen before release.

The amount of hate for The Order: 1886 is unbelievable

I beat it a few months ago, and it was pretty good.

nix3784d ago

the dev kept saying.. "it's a cinematic experience..." no one listened. and suddenly, everyone started hating it for being "cinematic". this game was butchered even before it came out. everyone was talking about how the texture of the wall was.. just like last gen, comparing grass blades to prove 360 had better exclusives.

i knew what i was buying. i freaking pre-ordered it.. it was exactly what i was looking for.. good story, good atmosphere, good world.

i'm truly looking forward to part 2 of this series.

Gazondaily3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

Thats BS. The game was defended like mad after early previews raised concerns about the game.I defended it tbh and said lets wait for the game to come out.

The game was mega hyped so why are we now pretending that it wasn't?

And all those early previewers had their skepticism confirmed when the game came out. It deserved all that critique and then some.

WTF do you mean hyped?

Uhm sony fanboys hyped this game to kingdom come. Dont' deny it.

The order was good, I enjoyed it very much. Too short and I can't wait to see what they do next.
Red, do you always have to hate anything PlayStation?
Get a life sir. Good day.

gangsta_red3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

That's awesome that YOU enjoyed it very much. But a lot of people including myself didn't.

"Red, do you always have to hate anything PlayStation?"

Yes, I hate anything Playstation...

Oooops, must have let that comment slip, anything else?

Inzo3784d ago

You mean a game like Ryse? The Order was a letdown for critics, for the consumers it was very good. And just so you know, The Order got hate, not hype.

Gazondaily3784d ago

It got hate for a reason. Some people don't get that and would think its all unsubstantiated.

Inzo3784d ago

@Septic
And what reason would that be? The reason the critics gave? Maybe you should play the game first. The fact is any reason given, good or bad is opinion, there is nothing to substantiate.

Gazondaily3784d ago

I did play and complete the game and of course the quality of the game is down to opinions. What are you looking for, an objective standard for the quality of the game?

gangsta_red3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

Yes, just like Ryse, another letdown even though I was never pumped for the game.

The Order was a letdown for critics as well as consumers. A lot of consumers even stated that The Order was not only a bad game but not worth the $60 dollars in price.

Check out Sony's own forums to see this.

Maybe you should actually play the game Inzo, then maybe you can see all of this game's shortcomings that have been universally agreed on about the game instead of defending it.

You guys are wrong, the game got an unbelievable amount of hype.

Go back to the E3 showing and read just this site alone how people were salivating over what was shown.

Then look at the many sites pumping the game up afterwards. Hell, Duelshockers alone submitted 100 articles a day hyping up The Order.

Then when people got their hands on it and started to report it wasn't anything special, that's when the red flags went up and for good reason too as we can all see this game was a complete let down.

Gazondaily3784d ago

Yeah revisionist history right there. It was massively hyped. It was supposed to kill Gears affording to some and was constantly in the limelight.

Now people playing the victim act state that it got untold amount of hate? Those handful of early previews were negative for a reason and even those got pocked to death.

showtimefolks3784d ago

i bought the order 1886 for $15. if you ask me it's well worth the price. anything below 20 and you must play the game

the biggest thing against the game was how short it was. i feel like this is a perfect IP that can grow if sony were to hand it to a capable developer

like maybe the 2nd team at ND

Rimeskeem

2 ps4 exclusives that really got the brunt of hate were the order and drive club

but both sold well so that's a slap on face of gaming journalists

gangsta_red3784d ago

I don't understand what sales have to do with quality of a game or why it would be a slap in the face for gaming journalists.

Those games could have sold well just on them being the only things new out for that time to a relative new console.

Michael Bay movies do a phenomenal amount of money in the theaters. But I wouldn't put them next to Citizen Kane or Godfather just because of sales.

Yui_Suzumiya3784d ago

Everybody here already knows that I enjoyed The Order enough to consider it a GOTY contender.

The_BlackHeart__3784d ago

The Order 1886 is actually pretty good. Short indeed. Still the best looking game on the market.

VerminSC3784d ago

The order does not deserve the hate it got. I waited till just a few weeks ago to play it, because of all the negative press. I ended up really liking it, made me wish I got it earlier.

Boobgrabber3784d ago

The Order was a good game. It was not perfect, but it definitely didn't deserve the hate it got. The thermite riffle was awesome, and would have like to use it more.

GrmpyolGamer 3784d ago

Pretty much disagree with every award except for The order 1886 being the biggest letdown. My Awards:

Best Story: Life is strange
Best Aesthetics: RotTR
Best Sound: Ori and the Blind Forest
Biggest letdown: The Order 1886
Biggest Surprise: Life is Strange
Best Multiplayer: Halo 5
Best Character: Rhys (Tales from the Borderlands)
Best Indie: Rocket League
Best AAA: RotTR
Most Anticipated: Quantum Break

Leave disagrees and Hate below. Good Day

Rimeskeem3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

Well, you asked.

The biggest letdown imo was Star Wars Battlefront. MP only, not a whole lot of content, no split screen MP action (only missions). No space battles, season pass, far too casual. Here is literally nothing special about Battlefront besides Star Wars and even then it's not special. From the start The Order was critized for its attempt at a more unique cinematic experience compared to other games of the genre. Now, it's by no means a masterpiece or a flawless game. But for being a new IP by a new Developer, they certainly have it a good shot. The length and AI were really the only problems. A longer sequel with harder difficulty (add harder platinum) would make a sequel for better. They have a great base for a series of games and the atmosphere was splendid. They just needed to capitalize on the value.

GrmpyolGamer 3784d ago

Battlefront was a very close second.

ErogeMaster3781d ago

Your box needs to put more JP game on or its going to become the same old song last gen real quick.

Inzo3784d ago

Almost every game you mention as best is an xbox game and you have the Order 1886 as your biggest letdown. how much you wanna bet you have never even played the Order.

GrmpyolGamer 3784d ago (Edited 3784d ago )

I'm willing to bet everything I got. Just my opinions. If they upset u then u need to put down the controller and get some fresh air or something. Would u have been less upset if I had more PS games and my letdown game was an xbox game? Sounds abit fanboyish to me

Inzo3784d ago

Fanboyish you say, take a look at your list.

GrmpyolGamer 3784d ago

I give my opinions. I don't cry over other peoples opinions

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj56d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

LMGk56d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever57d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai57d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.
