Given the logic of what we're talking about, could say this for any number of sequels, especially as we can see that one man's virtue is another man's irritation.
I can't see how this game would affect the chances of a title that we won't see for 7 years.

Mixed reviews and no MP, this is going to bomb harder than The Order. Fuck
78 meta with mostly positive reviews is called "mixed" now?

Their first game I'm not interested in, seems to be quite mediocre too.
These guys made Death Rally back in the days, awesome!

I guess I'll wait for a sale to pick it up. I'll probably end up liking it because I've got pretty serious open world fatigue, but I'm glad I didn't pre-order it.

People love overreacting to reviews. I'm still looking forward to it. Sunset Overdrive is the best exclusive this gen and that had low 80s.
Recently? Rise of the Tomb Raider and Ori.
Titanfall, Ori, Tomb Raider.

Yes, they could end the deal with them. But it seems like both are happy.
Same as with Sony and From Software, or Sony and Insomniac Games. The dev is indie, but they have a good relationship with the publisher.
So they keep working together.
Sony forgot to pay them those months

You cracked it, Gamepsot is so biased against XBO, they will never give its games a good score.

This is kind of what I expected. The gameplay looked kind of simple and repetitive. It seems like remedy went for all flash and wow with the graphics and TV content and didn't really succeed fully with either the gameplay or the not-gameplay hooks.
Shame it'll probably almost never be put on sale on PC either.

neither of these 3 are exclusive but QB isn't as well.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Just 2-3 more points and the game would turned from "mixed" into "pretty solid"!

The reviews aren't anywhere near as bad as the order but single player linear story games like this have been on the downtrend for a while. Not having great reviews and being a new IP, and not being on all platforms doesn't bode well for this game.

Well MS could blame themselves for this one. I mean didnt they tell Remedy to make a system seller instead of Remedys plans to do AW2 ?
I must say it has more 80+ reviews then I had expected after playing it. I knew it would be divisive, but I had expected more critics to place it in 70-79 region.
I do think the MC is going down though. The game is less good then Infamous SS and Sunset Overdrive (both of which I got a lot more fun out of than this one)

I've come to accept that Remedy games are kind of divisive. Alan Wake and American Nightmare are among my favorite games of all time, beyond hyped for Quantum Break I'm pretty sure I'll love it.

A bit lower than I was expecting (I xpected low to mid 80s), but it sounds like it's exactly what I was expecting, so I'm not concerned. I'm still excited for it.
hahaha
I don't think I'll enjoy it as much as Sunset Overdrive (which was my 2014 GOTY) but I'm pretty sure that I will like it.

Yes I agree with those points, and I suppose The Order was more hyped at the time and it still bombed. I don't feel anywhere close to the same hype for QB. Hope they do OK though...

I really liked The Order 1886 actually.
Looks like this is right up my alley.

Criticism and negativity are fine, unbalanced/hyperbole however, not really.
Mwah. The Division didnt score as high. Got a ton of sales.

Still getting it regardless of Jeff (who apparently hates everything these days) and his 2/5. I'm sure I'll really enjoy the experience, and then I'll trade the sucker in. Dark Souls 3 is going to consume me anyway.

I watched a couple hours of one of the previews for Quantum Break and I have to admit I just didn't get it. If it wasn't for my faith in Remedy I'm not sure I'd still be thinking about this.
78 is low enough that for a new IP with a somewhat limited appeal to begin with can kill the entire franchise.
It's pretty much the sad reality of the way video game reviews work these days.

The Order wasn't hyped nowhere. It was butchered by media since first showing at E3 2014.

"Jeff hates everything" a favorite point for people to make when he doesn't like a thing they haven't played.
He literally was just praising the division a few weeks ago.
Don't care about reviews, especially Gerstmann ones, this game will be awesome for sure, even Alan Wake got plenty of bad reviews though game was awesome, i loved it, Remedy never miss for me.
Anyway, do we know how long does the game last now? i hope no less than 8 hours and no more than 15 since it looks like it has to played more than one time to figure it out for good

Microsoft doesn't own Remedy. Plus mediocre reviews does not necessarily mean bad sales.

Yes The Order was hyped more. Deal with it in the Croatian forum.

Well, the gameplay looks more exciting than in The Order 1886.
But yes, seems like i will enjoy this game too.

I doubt it, a few more scores aren't gonna change the aggregate of 62 reviews by that much.
The Order didn't have any hype! Probably you missed bunch of previews after E3 2014 and before launch.

It's reasonable for a $60 product to want to use your money elsewhere, especially when it's a new IP people have no attachment to. New IP faces an uphill battle but as with series like borderlands, witcher, the division, it can pay off big for a publisher for years and years.
Or like the order, watch dogs, or sunset overdrive, it can blow up in your face and cost a ton of money you never get back.

Yes I agree with you. The Order was hyped way more.
