The Order Of The Day.

The Order: 1886. Wish me luck

1 minute- Drowning? That’s a good way to start! Glub glub!

2 mins- This guy must have some serious water retention.

4 mins- Wow, this truly is a great looking film.

6 mins- No need for a tutorial kind sir. I know a QTE when I see one!

7 mins- Feeling suitably emasculated by the hirsute pronouncement of the orders congregation.

10 mins- OK, not that way then.

13 mins- Yeah that’s definitely a werewolf. Or my grandmother?

14 mins- Mutton chops ahoy!

16 mins- Oh great. Implementing more convoluted QTE’s. Why not just make a game? There’s an idea.

17 mins- Initiate QTE struggle cuddle.

19 mins- Starting to show my age when pursuers shout “up on the roof”, and my first thought is Robson and Jerome.

21 mins- The Order 1886 titles? Damn that was short!

23 mins- Wow, this movie let’s you control the character?! What a novelty.

25 mins- Character has no reflection? I call vampire! Or absent rendering.

27 mins- Misread “phonograph” as “pornagraph”. Tee hee!

28 mins- Strange how Victorian London also reflects the modern-day capitals miserable ambiance.

30 mins- I believe they maybe boning.

32 mins- This kitten has claws!

34 mins- Man this game just keeps going!

37 mins- Considering I’m a knight, I’m pretty amoral.

39 mins- Not sure what’s more of a challenge; the enemies or the controls?

41 mins- I must be half way through by now?

44 mins- Picking heads off like a boss!

46 mins- Damn those no good, alcoholic, pot of gold retaining Irish!

48 mins- Either I’m impressively good, or this game is….No, let’s stick with that.

49 mins- Tea, cake and biscuits anyone!

51 mins- Damn, this is some great articulate dialogue. Would be perfect for a game!

53 mins- This is the frenchiest Frenchman that ever did French!

55 mins- Sorry, could you repeat that. Escaped patients?! Well I’m going this way then….

57 mins- Someone’s been playing Uncharted?

60 mins- Cool, Werewolves! Sorry, Lycans.

61 mins- Wow! I’m dead.

63 mins- Teach those hairy beasts a lesson.

64 mins- Cool, a light-sabre gun!

68 mins- Self appointed knights that don’t relinquish authority to bureaucracy. But rather borrow dialogue from various Sherlock Holmes novels. An elementary deduction I think your agree. *Smokes pipe*

70 mins- We even have a round table.

Chapter 2 literally consisted of cinematic, short constitutional and another cinematic. Huh?!

So far, not so bad. Certainly retains some systemic issues and pacing problems, but I’d largely contest the incredible acrimonious vehemence this game has so far received. Still a long way to go yet……I hope.

What did you think of The Order: 1886? Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.
