So I have ordered The Order 1886.
I had mixed feeling about it originally but I realised it doesn’t matter if it is a bad game. What I’m expecting the game the game to game to have simplistic plot, at least good play —when I ordered the sales assistant said it was like ‘Gears of war’ and ‘very violent’ as though this was a good thing— and pretty. I realised this will be the first game I have bought that will be designed from the ground up for the current generation console. Most of the other games have either been remakes or built for the both current and last gen consoles—still not used to calling them current gen.
I’m really buying this for one reason. To offer my support for single player only games with the only thing corp care about, money. They are rather thin on ground and rare in this day and age.
Most games these are forced to a have needless multiplayer which suck resources from the main game like a parasite. Or the other way around, a multiplayer game with a insulting rudimentary single player game tack on as a tutorial.
So even if The Order 1886 was an objectively bad game I simply don’t care.
Also I’m a sucker for steampunk and it looks ‘Gorgeous’.
