Until they show gameplay footage, trust no one who is complimenting it.
Modern Warfare 2 is the game that kickstarted the downfall of the series. Every issue the series has spawned from that game. Modern Warfare 1 was the peak of Call of Duty, quite possibly along with WaW for introducing Zombies; which at the time was fresh for the series and offered a lot of replay value.
And this is speaking objectively.

It's not "like", it is. It's sad to say but video game consumers may possibly be the worst consumers around today. I've never seen a group more than happy to repurchase something they already have.
Valve's customer service is notoriously bad. To the point where people are happy to get a response to their queries within two weeks at times.
Supposedly it's because of the way the company works; where certain departments may not be filled due to employees not wanting to work there.
It's being produced by the same developers who made Battlefield what it is today. For those of us that were huge into Battlefront almost a decade ago, you should understand why there's incredible caution and pessimism surrounding this game. EA/Dice's track record should be enough to explain why. But we also have the fear that the game we used to know and love will turn into nothing more than just a name to sell copies.
Doesn't matter if it gets a standing ovation. These are the same people that thought Bioshock Infinite was an amazing game with a profound story.
Tech demos? There are plenty of games on PC that support VR. War Thunder, Half Life, Alien Isolation, etc.

Naughty Dog plz, I don't like multiplayer levels because they're good. I like them because they're well designed.

The alternative is to read reviews from reviewers that seem to offer fair assessment. Whether or not they agree with your views. If you just read reviews from people that say everything you like is awesome, what is the point of reading those reviews? It just confirms what you already think. So again, what is the point?
What a horrible way to look at things. You essentially are saying you want nothing but a hugbox to reaffirm your favorite things. What's even the point of reading reviews if they just affirm what you are already predisposed to think?
Early Access is a minefield, but crowd funding isn't?? It's bad enough the indies are doing it and the developers no one wants to work with anymore (see Schafer). Having big companies doing this means they have to take zero risks. That is bad for consumers.
"Bad graphics can make a game unplayable"
What? Unless you speak of frame rate in regards to graphics, having lower graphical quality will never make a game unplayable. What kind of silly logic is that? Minecraft (for example) would be the most unplayable game due to the developer graphics which look horrible.
I wouldn't go anywhere in the real world then, you wouldn't have a good time.
@Breakpad
Yeah, I don't get it. Instead of a blue filter, it's now using a red filter.
Except Ducky explained everything below which disproves anything about 30 FPS being cinematic.
Plus there's a complete difference between 24 FPS live action films and 24 FPS animation. Hell, even in animated tv shows and movies you can tell very clearly when something is animated with less frames than another thing in the same scene to save some budget.
So the only reason 30 FPS is considered "cinematic" is because it's closer to the Frame ...
I'm just responding to the 30 FPS part for now. One thing I do not understand is how 30 FPS feels more cinematic. It makes no sense. Choppier animation with less frames is more cinematic?
If a 4/10 is broken, what does anything lower mean to you? That they're non existent?
@Crimzon
60 FPS makes every game better. It should be a requirement for all genres.
Are reviewers terrible? Yes. We've established that for years.
But why are they suddenly extraordinarily terrible when it comes to the Order? A mediocre/average game is getting mediocre/average reviews. Finally the ratings scale is being used properly and everyone is throwing a fit.
I also recall Ryse getting this treatment, which is a game in the same vein as The Order. And a quick look shows me that it also has a bunch of average deserved review scores ...
@Subtenko
The Wii-U has been the closest they've been in a while to the days of the N64/Gamecube. Not sure what more you can ask for.
