With this current-generation of consoles, I’ve become accustomed to large day-one patches already. It has become so ridiculous that it’s a joke to think that you’ll actually get to play a game on launch day – , with the majority of recent releases featuring massive, mandatory updates before you can even hit start. That’s not the case with The Order: 1886 though.
The Order: 1886 has been put through the ringer over the past few days regarding its length and value for money, but at least there are some silver linings to the PS4 exclusive. It’s out tomorrow, and it will feature a day-one patch like nearly every other game in recent memory. The patch, however, will only be 30MB large, making it an almost uneventful affair.
The update doesn’t fix anything is particular, featuring small bug fixes here and there. Does this mean The Order: 1886 is actually polished to a point where it doesn’t break on launch day? Possibly, with the small patch proving that Ready at Dawn is confident their game is ready for consumption. Of course it also comes without any online features – which more often than not are the reason for woefully launches and massive day-one patches.
Still, it’s refreshing to see a game that actually seems like it’s ready before being hastily rushed out the door. If you’re still caught up on the game’s length, at the very least you have one less thing to worry about when deciding on a purchase or not.
Will you be picking up The Order: 1886 tomorrow, or are you waiting for more reviews?

*SWIFT KICK TO THE CROTCH* for the first person that say that says the day-one patch takes 5 hours to download!

30MB for an off-line single player game,
PROOF that the day one patch is nothing more than DRM. Once you download that patch you have automatically registered into their servers for future MARKETING data, farming and gaming Habits that can be sold to 3rd parties.
ITS OBVIOUS.

The PS4 is capable of working out of the box with no Internet in sight. No activation required unless you want to register to play Blu-Ray movies. The last console that will ever function off-line.
Unfortunately as a bitter traditionalist I will be left behind and I am fine with that.
Just sad to see How Microsoft’s 24hour DRM has come to be, via the back door of making the games Internet reliant. Where are the screaming anti DRM gamers now?
HOODWINKED.

The reason I said your console is already a DRM machine is because you’re not allowed to do with it as you please, as soon as you start tinkering with it you’re breaking all kinds of agreements. Offline or not.

Yeah, I’ll be picking this one up… I was supposed to be well into Dying Light by now, but still got a week to go before physical release… So this will do nicely. The story does look really interesting to me… And who doesn’t want a little graphical eye candy to look at while you play.

The length is not long enough. That sounds funny. I have zero impulse control, I will probably convince myself not to get it but mark my words, any conviction I muster today will be gone by 3pm tomorrow unless it gets 4 out of 10.
