“Modern gaming is so toxic and lazy!  The Order: 1886 is just a 6 hour shooter that’s mostly cutscenes!  Too many games are charging for DLC that should have been in game!”

Pokemon Snap, a beloved game from the N64 was a 2 hour rail shooter that required either a special printer, or multiple trips to a participating Blockbuster just to view the pictures that you took.  Dollar for dollar, it was also more expensive to purchase, and cheaper to make, than most modern console/on-disc games.

How long is it without the cutscenes?

My playthrough of The Order: 1886 took about 8 hours, though others have blitzed through it in about 5.  There was maybe 90 minutes-2 hours of cutscenes and quick time events in the game, and it was marketed as being a more cinematic experience rather than a gameplay heavy experience.

pokemon snap was a niche title, and most people nowadays don’t seem to really care about the blockbuster photo thing.

the order 1886 is an insanely boring slogfest that promised a load of things and didn’t deliver through on most if any of them. and do i even need to mention destiny?

The point is that the issues that people complain incessantly about now have been around for a long time, it’s just that the complaints are more vocal and accessible now.  

As for The Order: 1886, it delivered what it promised, at least from every pre-release footage and interviews that I saw.  It didn’t promise to revolutionize anything, but to be an experience, and it was.  It wasn’t an incredible experience, but it was what it said it would be, and I enjoyed it enough to fully review the game rather than brush it off.  I did the same with Destiny, which did very little of what it promised, so don’t get me started on that
