Make sure to grab all the updates and you should consider the season pass it adds a shit load of content and I dont buy season passes but it is really worth it.
 
So I'm up to chapter 3 of The Order 1886 now. Taking my time. I know every review/person has said it but the graphics are really outstanding. It's hard to fully understand that until it's playing on your TV. Even the little NPC's standing in the street talking have facial animation that rivals most AAA games. But anyhow, great graphics do not make a good game. So far in the few hours I've played, I'm struggling to understand what all the reviews are going on about. Yes it's heavily scripted - RAD always made it clear it would be, but I feel like games like these will ultimately become their own genre and I do feel there's a place for them. We've been so spoiled with great open world games lately I think people forget that some of the greatest games were linear ones. It's nowhere near as scripted as the QTE-fests that are Heavy Rain/Beyond (I loved those games though), but I still think anyone that didn't like those games would probably not like this one. Combat, while not groundbreaking, is solid and enjoyable. First encounter with the lycans was exciting.

So yeah, not too far in yet but seems I'm not going to regret keeping my preorder. Loving it so far and interested in seeing where the story goes.

^^ Thanks :)

I also bought Destiny 2nd hand from a guy yesterday and I really cannot get into it :/ Guess I will have it up for sale/trade soon
 
Up to chapter 14 on The Order 1886 so am getting close to the end. I think I've been playing over 10 hours already. I am now convinced game critics are becoming undeservedly harsh and I'll trust my instincts from now on when it comes to game purchases. I am absolutely baffled my the negativity surrounding this game having now spent most of my weekend playing it. It is a top notch (linear) action adventure and at least close to the quality of the Uncharted franchise. Graphics are amazing, gameplay is solid and enjoyable (and yes, cinematic) and I am loving the story/characters. It's no lower than an 8/10 for me right now, and I don't expect that to change by the end. It is most definitely way better than what I found Unity to be.

I just wanted to add onto what you have said. People and publications toss around the word "open world" way too much. For example FC4 is a open world game. You can do anything and go anywhere from the start but, you still have to follow a linear path in order to complete the story. The developers simply make it feel like you are given a choice by letting you choose what mission to do next.

That is about the only reason I can come up with for how this game has been received: every big AAA release of this generation has been an open-world title. People have grown so accustomed to endless side missions and time wasting they can no longer appreciate a game that doesn't have those things.

Your review is much appreciated. I'd rather prefer user reviews on myGaming than game critics since they almost always harp so much on the negativity of a game. I'd defintely buy the game after reading your review.

Yeah if one enjoys cinematic games like Uncharted I can't see why they wouldn't like this. Also hasn't felt like there have been too many cutscenes, but I might just not have noticed because with every cutscene I'm so engrossed by the graphics I don't time how long it's going on for.
