- Start date
"Xbox wants to empower gamers to play the games they want with the people they want on the devices they want, so Microsoft Studios and Remedy Entertainment will launch Quantum Break on Windows 10 simultaneously with the Xbox One version on April 5, 2016. Anyone who pre-orders the Xbox One digital version of Quantum Break through the Xbox Store, purchases an Xbox One digital token at participating retailers, or pre-orders an Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break bundle, will receive the Windows 10 version of the game downloadable at the Windows Store via redemption code.*"

Holy shit balls
My broken Xbox One which had gotten the error due to an update that supposedly broke it... it fixed itself?
I had it in its box this whole time, plugged it in today and it downloaded an update. Downloading another right now.
Shit y'all guess I'll see you in the OT didn't expect to be able to play this game.
edit: wait no nvm lmao. Plugged in ethernet and it gave me the same error. Gonna try to do the USB method to see if it can fix this.

Alan Wake with every game. American Nightmare only if you pre order on the store or some retailers.

ermergerd...I mean, everyone has a right to say what they want, but it is shameful if they didn't even read the unfavorable review and are just nay-saying it coz it's lower than the rest.

what does internet have to do with installing a game?

You're the man, thanks a lot for this. Going to pull the trigger, I already have Sunset Overdrive and Gears waiting as well.
Why is he playing Gears lol
Oh I assumed he was doing a digital preorder as the game is still unreleased. If they are using a disc then only the patch affects the speed.
wtf lol
I checked and yes, it's using all my speed.
I'm downloading the digital game of course.
Now the game is 8%.

Channel sure lives up to its name
Blind fanboys, don't give them attention.
What's your speed then? Are you downloading the 75GB episodes (making it 120+GB) as well?
7MB download, 1MB upload
I'm only downloading the game, but after that I'll try to download the episodes too
Are you sure it's 7MB/s and not 7Mb/s?
If it's the former then it should only take you about 2 hours. If the latter then about 16 hours.

Why am I NOT surprised at all at who this is
I went back and read his post again and you're probably right; he's probably downloading it digitally. My bad
What word?
The reviews have landed about where i expected them to land. Its, at its core, a bog standard third person shooter with certain gimmicks(time powers, weird TV segments that dont really mesh all that well).
I don't fault the game for that, i'd expect the original Uncharted or Gears of war trilogies to score far lower than they originally did had they come out today as well. Reviewers just seem to have moved on.
But if your looking for those kinds of games with some potential interesting spins on it, i also see why many were giving it glowing scores too

Embarrassing. I feel like it's insanely overused when it comes to gamers.
e: or maybe it's just a neogaf thing

Sorry if asked but if we ordered via the Xbox Store...when do we get access to Alan Wake? Because atm Alan Wake still wants me to buy it.

Ouch, I was a huge fan of Alan Wake and considered this a day one but the gamespot review greatly reduced my hype and interest
Jeff and his Giant Bomb review seem to get a lot of attention (I have disagreed with his scores in the past so dont put much weight on that alone), but the text of the gamespot review sounds very disappointing

Good reviews.
Going through some Alan Wake stuff and I came across this scene. Totally forgot about it. Gotta love Remedy's style.
Can't wait for Tuesday.

I never thought I'd be playing devils advocate for this mothafucker, but I just went and watched his review and he did say something that got me thinking.
The person who reviewed this game and gave the controversial low score went on record saying he didn't like 3rd person shooters. Crapgamer said that means they definitely wouldn't choose this guy to review Uc4 to save face against a low score he'd give that.
However, to counter crapgamer, there is way more to a game review than just th genre of the game you are reviewing.

Played a good hour of it tonight, loved it - felt the story was good ( so far ) and it looks incredible. I'm not a pixel counter so I don't know about the dynamic resolution etc - I just know it looked really nice. Looking forward to playing some more tomorrow

Oke. Now a cool OT name tho.
Quantum Break |OT| Time To Move
I'm not good at joke subtitles but that describes the gameplay and Jack even says it during combat.

none of the review codes were PC afaik
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, eh?
Everything that its negative its always louder, a goalkeeper can make 100 impossible defenses, buf if he fails one easy shot he will be crucified.

Misterxmedia is worse. Says Phil Spencer made Tim Sweeney his bitch and that the XBox One has the first DX12 GPU in a console that MS will "unlock" with a patch....and the "port" on the left side of the console is for a second GPU....like what.
although every community has its crazy people.

Is it true there's no Poets of the Fall in this one?

It's true. ;(
I really wish we could see the PC build of the game. Has there been ANY videos released showcasing the PC version at all?
Agreeing, I suppose
