Totally agree w/ both of your points. I'm not sure the Order will review well regardless of how great it is because too many "journalists" have already shot it completely down, & the more close minded users will go into the game w/ their opinions coloured quite a bit. It will definitely be a cult classic though, I'd say even if the previews are true the game still has a market of fans looking for exactly the kind of game RAD are making, the kind of game that is becoming more & more rare in the industry, a true narrative driven game w/ fluid gameplay mechanics & a lot of attention to detail & focus on crafting interesting environments & situations. When everything else is now an open world, online rpg, The Order should have a pretty wide audience of fans salivating for the kind of experience it could offer, myself included.

Speaking of open world online rpg's, there is little doubt in my mind that The Division won't live up to its lofty promises. The difference between the two games is focus, The Order has a very clear focus on what it aims to be, while The Division is still pretty wide open & dependent upon user interaction. If The Division releases in 2015 it will most likely be broken when you look at the history of Ubisoft's online components. Hopefully more spectacular failures in this arena can bring some more attention back to a good solid offline campaign and force devs to truly make sure these mmorpg's will actually work upon release, regardless of how much dev time that may take.

Ya where is this, the order hype? All ive seen is articles writing it off.

I disagree with you about the division single player mode though. They have designed a coop/multiplayer game. If someone is interested in that type of game then good, if not then thats fine. They shouldn't have to go create a separate campaign with different npcs because some are against playing the game they designed. Also im pretty sure you will be able to play a lot of it by yourself if you wish, like a destiny sort of thing.

Haven't played ACU coop but i did play some of Farcry 4 coop and multi, as well as Watch Dogs multi. And it's safe to say online stuffs are not the things Ubi is worst at.

Yeah. I've pre-ordered it. I hope it leads to a successful franchise.

While I agree with UC4 and H5, I have to totally disagree with Quantum Break being hyped. Apart from the reveal and a now extended gameplay demo, it hardly gets a mention.

Most media outlets are even leaving it off their list of top 2015 games coming out.

Quantum Break hardly receives any fanfare whatsoever. It's a top three most anticipated game for me, and I rarely get to read any articles about it.

Yea seing the disagrees and comments I admit there s not much said about QB for a while and the hype kinda fell. Maybe its just because there s no news about it and its a while off but at E3 and later Gamescom the hype was real. We ll see when there are news but it was just an example I chose because I think the game has similarities with the Order I admit I chose poorly considering there hasn't been news about it for a while

Unlike xbox fans, who honestly don’t support most of their games, sony fans do. You guys bitch about having the best reviewed games on xbox 1, yet you refuse to support the developers.
Forza Horizon 2, this game sold on xbox 1 and 360, and couldn’t even make it to 900k, sunset overdrive reviewed well, yet it currently setting below 800k, even the flagship game Halo MCC, is sitting at or below 2M. Sony fans love diversity and support their games, even if they are bad, we support them. So that developers can improve on the next game. So YES, we will come to the defiance of The Order.

I think the Order won't impress. So far its a heavily scripted single player linear 3rd person shooter.. a 8 hour playthrough and its time to move on.
I think Ubisoft might finally get things right with the division although we're getting a massive visual down grade.
No Mans Sky is anyone's guess right now. I like what I've seen.. but I haven't seen enough to know.

So basically everything I already know is what to be expected in the game... I don't know about that then. Exploring is great and all but there needs to be a better reason for doing all this.

If that is it, then I feel this game has wasted on some huge gameplay potential.

Thank for the link.

Edit:
"Other than that it seems like an ordinary 3rd person shooter with a multiplayer"

I meant to say "without a multiplayer"

There's a lot to do in Minecraft though, from getting together with four friends, exploring, crafting, to building massive cities, not to mention all the add-ons and mods (currently there is a GTAV mod,) so yes there is a lot to do in Minecraft.

I would like to have more if indeed that is all this game is offering. Being a small indie game doesn't mean that they couldn't add anything that I mentioned. Being a small indie dev doesn't mean a more robust experience should not be included in their games.

I haven't asked for anything out of this game that isn't unrealistic or couldn't be done by them.

Lol but that stuff you tried to make seem like more is still just build stuff. You can act like minecraft is more than that but it isn't. Thats the point, that you can have fun with just a simple game. It doesn't need to be like the big produced games. In no mans sky you can travel to thousands of planets, collect resources, upgrade your ship, connect with players online, and work towards your end goal of making it to the center of the galaxy. The game can be like minecraft, dont starve, dayz where it doesn't need huge gun fights, branching storylines, 1000 npcs, lol getting married, and the ability to play dress up to be a fun, awesome game. Its what you do with it that makes it fun, like minecraft.

I am not acting like Minecraft is any more than anything. I am telling you from first hand experience that IT IS more than just building. because the devs have given you the ability to do almost anything you can think of. Will No Man's Sky give us the same freedom?

"In no mans sky you can travel to thousands of planets, collect resources, upgrade your ship, connect with players online, and work towards your end goal of making it to the center of the galaxy."

In the interview one of the designers said in your entire playthrough you may NEVER see another player, I don't even think they are marked as players. Travel to thousands of planets and do what? Upgrade my ship and move on? Then WHAT!?

You don't see the concern? This game doesn't need guns or getting married but it needs a point, Minecraft has a point. In No Man's Sky can I build colony's, can i build galaxy class ships? Will I run into indigenous alien life forms? Will I run into hostile Aliens? Are there any mysteries to the universe to unlock?

Are these not valid questions? Or hopes for a game as big and ambitious as No Man's Sky?

I don't think it will be too hard for The Order to live up to its hype.

Agree, curious what they are cooking up for that one?!

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones
