I think they're from some article recently. I just saved the pictures that someone posted
Because they can get away with this shit. I mean you, or someone, already bought it. There are much longer and meatier indies thpugh...
That's what happens when a games primary focus is impressive visuals and a "cinematic experience"
10 hours isn't that bad for a shooter, but apparently like 50% of it is cutscenes.
Except Dragon's Lair was a breakthrough in game animation at the time. But this one?
i think the visuals vs. gameplay dichotomy is just an excuse by designers who don't have much to contribute in terms of gameplay. the people doing the visuals are rarely the ones designing gameplay elements and mechanics, especially at triple a studios.
don't think i'm gonna blame they guy behind the graphics programming or the texture artists and modelers for the lead game designer's failures.

Because plenty of games are cinematic these days?
For all the hate people are throwing at it, I'm sure I will have a good time regardless. You know, you would think people would remember that this is not the first game with 5 hours of gameplay and 5+ hours of cinematics.....

Heck, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls are cinematic and QTE heavy. I enjoyed them for what they were.

Well to be honest, MGS 4 also had really great gameplay, replay value and the (now dead) Metal Gear Online 2 so it's easier to justify a 60 dollar price.
The Order is probably getting so much hate because it is one of the flagship exclusive titles for PS4 with quite a bit of hype behind it, i'll probably pick it up next year when i can find it somewhere cheap.

If a game only had five hours of gameplay then I'd definitely feel ripped off if I paid $60. Five hours of gameplay should cost around $5-10 since it is about the size of an expansion pack or DLC for a typical game.
Like @Arvuti said, MGS4 actually had really good gameplay, and not QTE "CINEMATIC GAMING" gameplay that the Order 1886 game has.
Someone made you an offer you cannot refuse... and you refused?
Did you do a file integrity check, yet? Usually the first thing to do with a Steam game. Besides that, does it crash at a particular point or random? Did you check your system's temperatures?
I found out it was my system forcing tessellation. Always the thing you never expect, eh?
Thanks anyway!

Yep, MGS4 had a lot of content. When a $60+ game is 5 hours long (Or less when skipping cut scenes) and has no multiplayer, worthwhile unlockables, replay, other modes in general then that's an issue for me. If you cannot make your campaign longer or a longer campaign wouldn't be as good (Pacing or what have you) then you should try to add in other things. This isn't an indie developer. They have the budget to be able to add in some stuff to do that isn't the campaign. They could at least put in a survival arena type mode.

Hotline Miami 2 has a free digital comic on Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/274170/
"Download the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number digital comic series by Dayjob Studio prior to the release of the game and dive into the backstory of several factions on a path to confrontation. The entire five-part series is free to download and comes in a single app that will be updated with new issues leading up to the launch of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number."
You've got to wonder to yourself when you kickstart a game for a few million and it has dozens of hours of content while the AAAA+ game is just a few hours long for a budget of many dozens of millions, what the fuck is happening? Less content for more bucks, and more content for less.
