Eurogamer: "A slick yet hollow hybrid of television and third-person shooting, Quantum Break sees electric style winning out over a lack of substance."

[Shpeshal Nick]

forget it.

 

[Sun Bather]

Oh look at Jeff eating his cheese and drinking his wine.

 

[dragonflys545]

So how early did the reviewers receive the review copies of the game?

 

[Zank Frappa]

Everybody now only gonna focus on Jeff his score...

Pretty sure 99% of the target group has no idea who Jeff is. Won't affect sales or whatsoever.

 

[Theorry]

Good lord the game is getting slammed.

Uhh no it doesnt.

 

[Blue Ninja]

"Sloppy movement and weapon controls"?

In a remedy game?

Yikes!

Man I was looking forward to this one on PC! :/

Once you get the hang of the combat, it's pretty damn amazing. Lots of different options to deal with your enemies.

So how early did the reviewers receive the review copies of the game?

I received mine beginning of last week, others received it even earlier.

Giant Bomb gave an Xbox exclusive a shit score? I'm shocked.

...seriously?

 

[Jigorath]

I want to play it, but I'm not in at $60. Will wait for a price drop.

 

[marc^o^]

I hesitated to get it as my first PC game. I think I'll get Half Life 2 instead, as I never played it.

Media bias, am I right?

I really, really liked it. The TV show side is cheesy as a nandos side order, but it fits surprisingly well with the game. Seems like this is a bit of a marmite game then!

Insidegamer review (dutch)

9+

+ Great Story
+ great acting in game as well as in TV show
+ Impressive presentation of actors ingame
+ Spectacular gameplay
+ story goes indepth in different ways

- Aiming is hard to master
- Some animations seem unnatural
- Bossfights are too easy

 

[Averon]

Very mixed opinions on this.

 

[NexusGamer]

So how early did the reviewers receive the review copies of the game?

depends on region, I'm sure, but i've heard about three weeks ago.

 

[GHG]

forget it.

It's best that way

 

[whyman]

Why all the hate for Jeff? He played the game. It was a 2/5. Simple.

 

[kadotsu]

forget it.

This is so funny for anyone who followed the discussions around GB in the PS3 era.

 

[neurosyphilis]

Looks like this is going to be reviewed divisivly . I still see it getting 80+ on metacritic though, just becuase its Remedy.

 

[wapplew]

Really? Is this the end of single player linear games?

 

[Granjinha]

People said that about Alan Wake too.

And i strongly disagree.

GB 2/5 - Jeff

HAHA. Never change Jeff. Love you man.

 

[texhnolyze]

Wow, pretty diverse review scores so far.
But as usual, let's just focus on the low scores.

 

[Jigorath]

...seriously?

It's a review thread all right.

 

[Sun Bather]

Giant Bomb gave an Xbox exclusive a shit score? I'm shocked.

Last year they were xbots, now they are sony ponies. They change every generation those damn giantbombers! Soon they will become pc nerds using 3000 dollars on every pc setup and then in the end get fully evolved: iOS and Android gaming fanaticos.

 

[Introvese]

Foreigners love this game

Americans not so much

 

[LiK]

Really? Is this the end of single player linear games?

Well, I mean, Uncharted 4 is coming,

 

[SlasherJPC]

Diverse games are the best. Better then endless praise or constant bashing.

 

[scoobs]

Blah... was hoping this was going to be good. Maybe I'll still pick it up down the line on PC when its a little cheaper.

I get the feeling that linearity isn't the problem here.

From everything I saw, this looked like Xbox's marginally better version of The Order.

I was hoping the TV portion would elevate it to some weird / funny / unique entertainment hybrid like Defiance ( I actually enjoyed the game and the show is fucking terrible / hilarious).

8.5 metacritic isnt good?

 

[Sjefen]

As I predicted yesterday, reviewers using the whole scale. Probably a very good game but with shortcomings some reviewers judge as very negative.

Hmmm.. Hadn't played that. Max Payne is my frame of reference

Controversial reviews bring controversy.

 

[winstano]

I got mine on March 16th (day before my 30th) - we all had plenty of time with the game

 

[zsynqx]

Really? Is this the end of single player linear games?

Read a couple of the reviews. The main complaints are NOT about it's linearity.

 

[wapplew]

Well, I mean, Uncharted 4 is coming,

But UC4 have multiplayer component.

 

[LiK]

Hmmm.. Hadn't played that. Max Payne is my frame of reference

You should play Alan Wake

 

[NexusGamer]

I get the feeling that linearity isn't the problem here.

yeah, i don't think anyone is criticizing lack of multiplayer or game length (from what i've seen)

 

[Auto_aim1]

I finished this a few days ago. Loved the combat and storytelling but there's not a lot of content in QB. I couldn't download the live action episodes for some reason and stream kept buffering every 10 seconds. I really enjoyed the campaign but the choices don't really matter so there's not a big incentive to play it again. You can replay missions to get all the collectibles though. Was expecting more from Remedy but it's still a fun game.

 

[Karak]

I suspect a bit lower as I haven't seen a couple peoples that I normally do and they sounded like theirs would be lower.

 

[orichalcos]

WTF?

4/10??

5/10???
