Then youre greeted with a cutscene which has a long load time if you skip it. Its an insanely easy fight which is made frustrating by bad design and I had to redo it 5 times.)

WHAT WENT RIGHT??

How come this game isn't getting shitposted to death with how bad it is?

But theres a million threads about "disappointments" like DaS3 which no one has even played yet?
>>
>>333559560
I don't know as I'm not an Xbone owner, but sounds to me like you just want to shit on something else since others shat on something you like. Don't do that. Don't add to this problem.
>>
>>333559560
It's not a Sony/Nintendo game so Microsoft isn't paying shills to campaign against it.
>>
>>333559560
How many Xbone owners actually give a shit about this game?
>>
So is it better than the order 1886?

It has literally been the most hyped up and heavily marketed AAA Xbox exclusive for years now.

And suddenly the game comes out and 4chan is completely silent on the matter? Is it just because there are no memes to be had because the game is justifiably bad?
>>
>>333558474
>>replayable once
what? does the game self destructs after you clear it twice?
>>
>>333560310
There is no reason to play the game more than once after you've chosen both junction options and collected everything. First playthrough normal, second on hard.

Its linear, theres nothing to explore, and the experience is heavily based around the story elements.

There is no reason to play the game more than twice. Its not about the gameplay, it's about the "experience". Which is actually not well written enough to want to experience more than once. There are only a handful of short encounters which feel secondary to finding the next waypoint so you can advance the plot.

>>333560142
This game is basically Xbox's The Order, yes.

>>333560643
>This game is basically Xbox's The Order, yes.
except it isn't. and you'd know it if you played it.

It is narrative heavy, Sam Lake might be reincarnated Hideo Kojima, who died in the future, but his soul travelled back in time and got some writing ability in the process.

It is (or at least the first season, haven't watched more).

>>333558474
I have not seen a single positive thread about it, or even a neutral thread with people discussing it.

100% of the threads have been saying its bad.

So I guess your answer is its not an entertaining game but someone has a hard on for hating it.
>>
>>333560303
No, it's because the game is what anyone who has played previous Remedy games expected from it.

Unlike overhyped trash, QB at least delivers on everything it set out to do without fucking up and without attracting people who don't give a shit about Remedy's games, either.

>>333563509
There's hardly any Xbone owners here and all the everyone with a PC is shitting on it for the bad port a la Arkham Knight.

As someone who played it on the Xbone, it's a fun game with a few technical hiccups. It crashed on me once and a cutscene bugged out, but otherwise the core gameplay is great.

Nobody actually gave much of a shit, but when it came out worst fears were verified

Sam Lake hasn't made a good game since Max Payne.

Max: replayable, harder difficulty modes make the game harder because bullets hurt like a motherfucker and Max really is living on painkillers and mullet time adrenaline

Alan Wake: replayable, in that you can get get coffee mugs and pages you missed. harder difficulty makes you hold the flashlight on enemies longer which only makes the game more TEDIOUS and SLOW

Quantum Break: something he wrote while watching Heroes. Like, the bad second season when the writers went on strike.

I know a couple people who buy practically every semi major release on Xbone, so I'm just going to wait for their opinion. Now is the worst time to get a consensus from the internet, after a month or so passes it's easier for people to look at things more objectively.
>>
>>333558474

I don't care about any of that. I'm such a meme loving retard that I'm going to buy this just so I can quote the plane scene while I play as CIA.

I just got a notification right before your post that a CSGO crate sold on Steam and I earned $0.02 so I thought you were spying on me

As a time travel story it's awful, and I am a huge fan of movies like Timecrimes, Primer, Groundhog Day, etc

It can't be worse than the Sauron final boss QTE in Shadows of Middle-Earth yo.
>>
>>333566547
It is?

There are chest high walls in every area that you walk up to and automatically take cover behind when you aren't shooting or using an ability.

Are you retarded?
>>
>>333566547
it has a cover system but you're not encouraged to hide behind cover non-stop like in Uncharted or Gears

I agree that the health system sucks but otherwise it is superior mechanically to Alan Wake.

I would be happier if it had something like pills in Max Payne for health instead.
>>
>>333566857
The after credits cutscene brings up a junction (same visual effects) where you would normally make a choice and branch the story, except it doesn't actually bring up the choice and just ends in an ominous "to be continued" way.

Given how much is still at stake in the story and that they are clearly advertising an Alan Wake sequel to be announced soon from easter eggs within the game, I'm almost positive it will be paid DLC.

Vanquish? Yes. But don't play it as a cover shooter. Slide around, punch 4 meter robots in the face, dive forward in bullet time, have fun.
It's short and light hearted.

because it's actually a fun game, like everything remedy does. ops points are pretty shit. like op running into the death ray during the final boss. the camera points you towards the blast so you know where it's coming from and can go the other direction. he just sounds shit at the game tbqh

It's not multiplatform so those who are invested in their platform PC and Xbox especially, are going to hype it up regardless of it's quality.

The only benefit of games going true multiplat is that you've actually get completely unbiased views on the game. MGSV is a great example, you can literally pick apart who's new to the series and who isn't by their opinions.

It's just a silly thing to glorify a shit game in any circumstance though, you're sending the wrong message to the developers and building a path for more mediocre games like it to come in the future.
