Re: The Order: 1886

A price drop to $20 or less, or even an arrival on the IGC.

Any price you won't be disappointed. And this is their first game for this developer? WOW!

BTW, LET's Go RANGERS!

Re: The Order: 1886

If anything, my expectations were surpassed. Granted, I always have low expectations for every game ever since I was disappointed with Uncharted 3 and especially Hitman Absolution.

I think that Ready At Dawn did an excellent job considering that The Order was not only their first PlayStation 4 game but their first console game and the fact that they used their own built from the ground up game engine makes it even more impressive.

Those PSP games and ports to PS3 were solid to good but huge difference between a portable and porting to PS3 compared to a brand new console in PS4.

I already posted my own personal review and opinion here in this topic. Not perfect but an excellent game and excellent start to 2015 and a great start to what's expected to be a trilogy.

Re: The Order: 1886

Finished the game tonight and count me in as one who can't wait to see a sequel. Although some parts of the game I hope to see improved by RaD, other parts were brilliant. As we ponder ideas of where and what the sequel will bring us, I did some history fact-checking of what occurred back in 1887. But as we see in this timeline.......

I was just joking above, by the way. I thought that might be pretty clear but I couldn't be sure.

There's a lot of good history in the spoiler tag that RAD can build their world upon. I really loved this game so fingers crossed we get to see it play out.

Re: The Order: 1886

So there's been no DLC announcements for this thus far? With how they reused some fights and assets you'd think they wrap up some trimmed-for-time content and release a couple more 'episodes' as an add-on for this title. Could do some vampire-centric stuff or maybe something from the perspective of Isabeau.

Re: The Order: 1886

Think some were predicting millions of sales for The Order, it placed 9th in the NPD sales chart, just above a 3DS game that sold 290k copies. #1 was Zelda with 550k.

To be fair, it only had a week since it was released seven days before the end of February
