Played.

1. Blackwater Edition:
Ok, Sony goes with his "new" Exclusive Titles yes apparently lately forth the "slightly different" offer Collectors Editions. Last of Us with Mousepad, Infamous with cap and now The Order resonates with a trailer. Nice idea, but: Unfortunately, only waste.
I mean, the part looks really quite nice, only unfortunately it is not to be used as a completely sealed bottle. Had changed this and made it play Relevant ne kind of mini-bottle, it would really have been something special times.
So unfortunately is only a completely Duff supporter of true looks chic, but has no use except as a display filler.
The patches I feel personally as completely unnecessary and indeed the postcards look quite nice, but nothing more reverberates not.
Had as usual to get more out of it, and for 20.- to 30.- additional cost can be divided obs is the value.
In any case, one must emphasize the positive is not echoing the usual "there is ne figure in it" is CE, but what Standalone.

2. The game.
Ok, now it is a little more complicated.
Think times a few years back, as a game of the press was up and down praised. Great Inszinierung, many choices, a real interactive movie.
This refers to Heavy Rain. Ok, that was the game? Completely pointless herumgelaufe at any angle to explore any clues to "collect", tens of Quick Time Events, which are known are not really synonymous with "game" and especially ne Hahnebrüchende educating Story.
Ok, that was "play" his Reitz (if you had not arrived at the end and presented the offender was) quite well the replayability was given because of the decisions that you could meet and the alternatives ends could possibly help, but in Basically wars yet, walk around and look senseless with ner ner shit camera work and the story would actually be really great would have been a not so ... let's say .... comical offender presents a.
But it was completely different from what resonates knew and the press loved hats.

Last year came Murdered - Soul Suspect out, and the press savaged hats? Why because the part was offered as a action adventure and it was not. And what happened? The thing was n flop and yet were are completely open mind tuned gone and it is not considered action adventure so usually have satisfied.
Why? Weil's actually n 3D Point-n-click adventure was old school with trial-and-error principle. Say you could not really do much wrong and just had to click just everything and combine accordingly, it did not work, not that bad, echoes what else to try. Of interest in the 2d exactly was the principle then at all Lucas-Arts adventure games the same, only the more objects were available and as each hats loved :)
Anyway, the game has been savaged, everyone has n Action Adventure expected and do not get so isses flopped because the masses simply not in a position to consider subjective and too much listening to their environment, whether consciously or unconsciously I let time stand in the room and so is already biased.

Also prime example Destiny. Ok, admit the game is fun, but of the variety here, from the offered story and especially the gameplay brand "of a lucky, the other draws a short straw after another" the game is just s vast foam hole with ner huge marketing campaign behind it.

Last example: Evolve: PR giant, highly praised, hochgehyped without end and now? less than a month after release arises in the majority of players the disillusionment and you realize, "uh, that was all male, is yes Gagge, always the same shit, dusty corner hold or sell best right back."

Granted, all examples in which one can disagree, but again all examples where the press we always pretended that opinion and that was usually adopted.

So, but nu to The Order.
Hochgehyped as Destiny, flagship game to the PS4 and and and and; and the ratings? Basically devastating.
That's not a game, doing nothing, stupid QuickTime events etc. The Biggest Fail console generation. Reiner graphic Blender etc.
Read has actually every thing what about it, and I dare to say in the press no good.
But then you look again calls "Murdered" in memory and is moving away from the known.
Departs from the idea of ​​a game to buy that comes up with some mechanisms, moving away from the idea that an open world in which one to B races for hours of A must and nothing in between happened to be better, or the side quests simply belong in the game a shooter echoes must consist of banging and I stop there.
The Order 1886, what would be Heavy Rain basically.
It is an interactive movie, a film which is insziniert terrific, actually has no unnecessary lengths (considered despite its length as a film) and is broken up by said Quick Time Events or cover shooter deposits. A movie wants to tell a story, yet the "spectators" slipstreams.
Sure, you might well have purely bring something more game; and certainly, one could also could present increase Collectibles significantly and they can lend more weight, because as they are, they are just waste and basically ists could not care less whether they gather them or not, but the important thing is, as always, perfectly lost sight of.

The entertainment offered.
And that is for 7-10 hours definitely given without being hergegangen as in many other games and the whole is unnecessarily stretched in the length just so you get more playing time. And yes, it would have been more quiet game, no question, more freedom of choice and a pinch of calm impact of our actions, or discretions.
All this is echoed not enter and you can it through its narrative and not even really be called game, because you just contributing far too little and far too much even a story is purposed.
But you can see it really as "interactive" movie, and if it had been marketed from the beginning so, so I dare to say, you could not The Order slating in the press and quenched the buyer, but the "game" which none is a real opportunity to give to do what it does.

An interesting story to tell, the desire for more brings with it and look at the whole thing as entertainment.

A "normal" film not costs around 15.- to 20.- and is gone about, that you enjoyed hats, or, looked at him, perhaps again and basically he is then only a corner rum.
This movie costs 60, - to 70, -, it has 4 times the length, bind the "Spectator" partially active into the action and ... is just after like any other movie, only resonates with the disadvantage that one "game" called ,

Personally, I can only each can not be put off by either a touch of steampunk still "Tube levels" and even more so by "a lot of story with little play" only suggest themselves The Order to buy and what is offered to enjoy. And I dare to say that the people like then despite all the controversy and the "few gambling" is still very good.

And who now ask why after all this adulation "only" 4 star: Simply the fact owed the more the whole game would have done even better. More background to the world or the narrated story, etc. Do not be, but it would have harmed under any circumstances and it is to be hoped that in spite of the lousy reviews, there are enough buyers and there will be a successor who then makes it a little better, but from her storytelling remains at the same level.
