Pre-ordered The Order: 1886? You probably shouldn't

[Tom]

Im also a bit torn between going and getting this this weekend, or holding off... The game concept is right up my street, the only thing that worries me is how short the game is...

I'm really not bothered by game times like this, if it's enjoyable and engrossing what's the problem? My concern is more about the amount to pay for it as it's a shorter title.

I warrant my gaming purchases by the amount of time I will (more than likely) spend in a game. At this rate The Order almost clocks in at R100/hour with little to no replay-ability, so to spend R800 on a 6-9 hour game is ridiculous to me. If I buy a R700 game, I look to get at the very least 10 hours game play.

I'l wait a few months at least. Will probably be cheaper option.

I agree with what you are saying it is damn costly that is why I am trading it after I plat the order for Bloodbourne so I will be paying R400.

Ya look i do tend to agree with you... There was a metal gear solid game that came out right when i got my PS4, and as one is, always on the lookout for well priced games, I saw this one for like R350... I nearly bought it on the spot, but luckily i didnt because after doing some research, its apparently like a 90 minute game...

I do think there should be a price decrease on shorted games though...

You're talking about Ground Zeroes, right?. It's a prequel to the The Phantom Pain which is coming later this year. Honestly, they could have made it a demo, or included it with Castlevania: LoS 2 like they've done in the past.

Yeah, everyone had that opinion. If they were going to charge for it, it should've been released as a (maximum) $10 downlodable game. Konami milked the fact that people would buy it because it was called Metal Gear Solid. However, that doesn't mean that the game was bad. It has solid mechanics and was really fun, and I'm looking forward to playing more in The Phantom Pain.

It's not technically correct or incorrect to say it's a 90 minute game. You're supposed to replay it several times in order to find out everything. I know a few people who have put 30 hours into it. At the same time though, there are speed runs which have finished the game in 6 minutes...

Full of spoilers, so don't watch if you care for it. But this gives a good sense of what all the hype and reviews are about.

Phantom Pain being priced as it was was an interesting experiment into how variable pricing can work for shorter games. Especially those that lack an mp component

The Phantom Pain isn't out yet. Also it's going to have a MP component.

I'm assuming you meant Ground Zeroes. Hahaha If by interesting experiment into variable pricing, you mean how large game companies can overcharge their consumer base, then sure, I agree with that it was interesting.

Lol; brainfart. Yeah I meant Ground Zeroes.

I think the game was adequately priced for the play you got out of it. And the fact that the game itself is pretty good
