Ready at Dawn on The Order's replayability: the game encourages you to go back and try new things

Steve Wright, Stevivor -- "As NeoGAF users lash out over allegations that The Order: 1886's playtime is a mere five hours, we sat down with Ready at Dawn's Dana Jan to talk about the game's replayability."

Ill probably go back to the game to beat it on harder difficulties get any trophies i didnt get and find any easter eggs.

[llxKonanxll]

I'm going to play the crap out of this game until BloodBorne comes out. I'm so hyped for this.

[llxKonanxll]

Don't know why I got disagrees for this.. I'll be playing the game for a whole month before BloodBlorne comes out...

[Elda]

Some of these folks are just plain crazy & immature,they'll disagree with anyone's thoughts & opinions especially if they don't see yours.I understand & respect that you want to really get into the game just as I will.

[The_Sage]

Rabid Xbot fanboys.

[nidhogg]

So their treating this as similar to Ground Zeroes now? Ready at Dawn running out of reasons.

[Transporter47]

How is this similar to Ground Zeroes? One is a glorified demo and the other is a full game.

[The_Sage]

I think nidhogg is a little.... special, if you know what I mean.

[Sevir]

I'll be glad to have this game. I've stayed clear of the spoilers. :) just a few more days!

[brotherlymoses]

Please understand

[RyujiDanma]

who cares, if you plan on buying this but now realize that its only 5 hours of gameplay, DONT BUY THE GAME! I don't wanna see you clowns buying the game first knowing its only 5 hours than coming here and bash something you purchased. U goddamn knew it was 5 hours

[NfinityGaming]

Yeah really good logic there buddy. Don't play the game, so you can't review it and tell these developers what they did wrong, so they could make better games in the future. Do you proof read you comments before you submit them?

[BattleAxe]

I'm waiting for an article to come out that says:

"The Order 1886 Encourages Players to Walk Around the Entire Perimeter of All the Maps on All Levels, Otherwise You Haven't Played the Full Game"

[Bathyj]

Thats how I play all games that arent open world.

[qwerty676]

at least people know what they're getting now,

but they obviously didn't want the knowledge of 5 hour campaign getting out before release

and you can see in their earlier interviews they tried to spin it into a longer game then it actually is.

i guess they expected the players to like go sight seeing or something making the game a lot longer.

[SoapShoes]

Trolls agreeing with you. The average completion time is much longer from 9-12 hours. Oh but let's let one person dictate how long it is. That's like going to Metacritic and pointing out how Halo 3 sucks because its lowest review is mediocre while ignoring all of the good ones.

[Kingscorpion1981]

I'm telling everyone this game is not 5 hours I have an early copy of the game and I have already went over 10 hours on normal difficulty. I believe I'm getting close to the end though. This is not a 5 hour game like COD

[ziggurcat]

oh, for the love of... *sigh*

it's not a 5-hour play through when you artificially lower the time by purposefully skipping everything you can possibly skip.

dark souls 2 can be finished in 17 minutes
ocarina of time can be finished in 18 minutes
skyrim can be finished in less than an hour
myst can be finished in less than a minute
the last of us can be finished on hard in 3.5 hours

here's a video of someone finishing Ryse in a little more than 4 hours:

here's a video of someone finishing Gears in less than 4 hours:

yet none of that means that that's the time it takes. one person's ability to complete a game in a short amount of time =/= the actual time it takes to complete that game. that goes for all games, on any platform.

the average play time of the order has been confirmed - not only by the devs themselves, but by another user who got his copy early - as being ~10 - 12 hours.

"To go to encounters and grab a different weapon from thirty minutes ago, just to play and see how it goes – well, we want to encourage that."

Are you serious? So replaying an encounter using a shotgun instead instead of a rifle now count as replayability. What an awesome feature. How come nobody thought of this before?

[lemoncake]

lol

[Man-Eee-Faces]

LMAO. How can anyone defend that lame excuse for replaying a level is beyond me.

I think that quote pretty much sums up that it is a one and done game.

[Minute Man 721]

You wouldn't survive 80s gaming when Contra was the shizznet

[formerXboxgamer]

Back when I had the Xbox 360 and PS3, I was so addicted to multi player games, that those systems had to offer. I didn't get to finish the campaign for my other games, so I'm kind of glad The Order:1886 is campaign only. Plus I'm very interested in seeing what the story has to offer for TO:1886, and probably play it on multiple difficulties.
