Current Events > Finally playing Quantum Break. It's so damn good

(+) Yeah! (+)

All the little details put into this game are great. The gameplay mechanics are unique. The story is crazy and awesome.

My only complaint is that I feel like I'm almost done and I've only put in like 6-7 hours not counting the TV show episodes.

I like how it's a time travel story with no plot holes.

I haven't played it, since it's an Xbox One exclusive, but I've liked all of the other Remedy games that I've played.

they always end up being fun shooters with interesting stories.

It's also on PC if you've got a decent one.

At least I'm pretty sure it is. I can't remember if they started the "Microsoft Exclusive" thing before or after QB.

And this is the first Remedy game I've played. I found it for $10 in a Family Video and it still had the Alan Wake 360 code. I've downloaded it, just haven't touched it yet.

And I'm genuinely shocked at how good the TV show is.

It's not Emmy material or anything, but for what it is it's pretty damn good.

Yeah, I was not expecting to find it kinda interesting. I thought it'd be something to endure, not actually want to watch.

I've had it for a while, need to finally play it.

Once I beat it and maybe a couple of other games I'm really tempted to sell my Xbone.

God damn this fucking game

It's so intense

That's pretty lucky. You can't even buy AW anymore

It's on sale right now on Live. Thinking about picking it up. How's the gameplay?

Wait, really? Why not?

It took a little bit to get used to the controls but after that it's been awesome. Especially in encounters with lots of enemies where you can really have fun with all the different abilities.

I really liked it. I even played through it twice. I've always liked Remedy games though. Something about their attention to detail within the game universe always sticks out. It feels like you're shooting through proper locations that scale correctly with the rest of the world.

I wish the game had a horde mode or something though.

it it was taken off of digital stores because of music rights, IIRC.

Oh this would be amazing. I was wishing there was a multiplayer mode but having time based powers against other players in an online game where everyone has varying connection speeds would be really difficult to pull off properly.

The music industry is so damn lame.

Not really the music industry's fault, Remedy could have bought a long-term license and they chose not to

It could be up to Microsoft since they published the game originally. These things are usually pretty complicated.

really? i heard it was pretty terrible

Same so maybe I just had low expectations and it blew them away. But I was originally planning on skipping them and reading a synopsis and I've ended up watching each one.

Holy fucking shit fuck this final fight god damn

Oh fuck

There's definitely gonna be a sequel...right? They can't just leave me hanging like that. Jack proved that shit could actually be changed so he can totally save Beth

Microsoft said that not every game needs a sequel and Remedy are developing games for new publishers so probably not.

That game was so fucking fun. I can't believe I've had it for like four months and only now started playing it. I blew through the whole thing in just a couple of days.

Same thing happened with Sunset Overdrive last year.

Somebody needs to slap the shit out of Microsoft then because that game definitely needs a sequel.

Remedy tweeted that Phil Spencer was visiting their studio a couple months ago...so that's giving me hope.

I'm actually super excited to play through the game again and pick all the choices I didn't pick this time.

10 hours 44 minutes on normal. Time to try it on hard.

yea, I was talking about Alan Wake, but I forgot to press the quote button.

didn't know that it was put back on the stores, though.

About to start a new game on hard mode where I'll pick the other option for all of Serene's parts. I'm gonna take my sweet ass time to get all the collectibles this time. I only have like 20 achievements left after blasting through my first run. One being hard mode and four being the other four options.

Oh and what the fuck is Hatch and how the fuck did he incapacitate four armed guards while handcuffed in a fucking elevator
