Max Payne is fantastic in all aspects. Alan Wake was more about the setting and atmosphere rather than the gunplay for me.

I hope not because i crave single player linear games.
I sometimes wonder if they played the same game as me. (Yeah. The more famous actor do what they can with the material, but some if the sude characters in the show (that actually get a lot of screen time) are cringe inducing
because people praise TLoU for it's multiplayer, come on now.

I'm assuming the aiming is easy as pie on mouse and keyboard?

I called them Sony ponies now? I still have the Gears Ultimate review in my mind where they have it 2/5 for literally no reason other than "this is a 9 year old game". Just so nonsensical. So seeing another 2/5 here wasn't surprising.
I trust you. Looking forward to it. Hope I don't get those buffering issues. We can download the cutscenes within the game right?

Probably ;P
I just guess they liked it. It's a weird score compared to what we're getting though. I agree.
Ofcourse. Aiming on pc is always easy.

If i used metacritic to make my purchasing decisions it would be I suppose. I have my reviewers I trust on purchasing $60 games.

It seems like most of the complaints are the lack of content, but the story is great and with amazing gameplay.

Wow 2/5 is surprising. Some good reviews as well. I am sure I will enjoy it for what it is.
I agree they have. It's very rare than anything hits the 90's anymore and even when it does it's the low 90s. Quite the change.
If anyone's interested, my full DF analysis is going up tomorrow, but video 1 of 3 is now up!

Another excellent and super detailed review. Only thing I didn't catch was anything about how long a play through took you, I also felt the 'Fun Factor' segment splice audio was edited in a bit abruptly. But besides those two things, I think people would be hard pressed to find a more thorough video review.
neoGAF.
No but seriously, alot of people really just want to re-enforce their predisposed feelings towards a game, totally ignoring anything else.

Code hasnt gone out yet for it. Speaking of combat. I just can't get enough of it. The visuals and abilities just continue to wow me every session I play.
onlinecenter.pl (Polish): 9-/10
Kotaku:
The technological trick happening here masks a so-so sci-fi story and a merely solid gunplay.
Time:
Quantum Break Has Great Actors But a Meh Story and Gameplay.
Metro:
Nothing about Quantum Break is bad, but it’s a crude mix of very basic and largely incompatible ingredients. Far from being a disaster it just feels undercooked. Not enough to give you salmonella, but certainly enough to make you wish for something more substantial to get your teeth into.
Yep, just as I thought from the beginning. The game simply didn't look fun. The gunplay looked boring/medicore from the beginning.

A lot changes in 9 years. Other than a new shiny coat what changed? That game was the definition of mutton dressed as lamb. Unless you adore the original game and feel the urge to replay it there's not going to be much there for you.
Not really. Alan Wake's average so far seems significantly higher at 83.
Almost every review praised the multiplayer.
Damn. :/
At 20-30$/€, not more !
The game lasts 6 hours max...
Act 1 + Ep 1 = 1h16
Acte 2 + Ep 2 = 1h26
Acte 3 + Ep 3= 1h03
Acte 4+ Ep 4= 1h33
The firsts 4 acts =5h18
The last one has no Episode so about 40-1h left..
Expected this since I saw the gameplay. Looked unsatisfying and meh. Now we'll see how many outlets feel this way.

So reviews back up what I thought from streams. Game looks like a game I'm going to have a blast with. Can't wait.

You rock brother thanks!
Ya thats a bad audio cut. I rarely ever do them but I ended up having my dark bark in the middle of the recording that I never heard lol. Sorry.
As for the length about 9 hours with random gameplay.
The reason I am starting to hedge on that in my reviews is becauseI haven't decided my own personal interaction level in most games.
Things that effect length:
What difficulty?
Walking everywhere?R
Running everywhere?
All collectables?
Some?
Watching every single thing?
Reading every entry?
I am working on some ways to gather all that.
I entered the time in the description thanks as always Nib.

Why are you linking playthroughs of the entire game in a review thread?
I tried doing that in Xbox store but it was a bundle exclusive with digital game. Sucks.
Use opencritic guys. It updates faster and has no weighting system.
38 reviews with a 75 score right now.

I dunno. Doesn't sound too bad from Totilo. Sounds intriguing at least according to his view. Not sure if it's $60 worth of intrigue though.
That's...some really poor logic.
The last of us MP is awesome.
That's not what i'm saying, i'm saying if you hear the name The Last of Us you think great story with believable characters and the best voice acting in any game to date. TLoU didn't need MP to get good reviews.
I understood what you meant, but the way you phrased it was weird.

Less than 10 hours including the cutscenes? That's kind of shocking.
I'll have to eat crow on that one. I was expecting a more meaty game.
