Read if you want to listen to someone who clearly had no interest in playing this game. It's the equilivant of having someone who doesn't enjoy dark souls reviewing dark souls.

Dewitt3682d ago

So basically Giant Bomb's review?

StrawberryDiesel4203681d ago

oh so kind of like what happened with The Order: 1886?

jb2273681d ago

What do you want from a review? A fan guaranteed to gush about whatever was put in front of them or a skeptic forced to realize the transcendent quality of what they just experienced?

The review was well written & the reviewer was decent enough to explain where he was coming from...I'm willing to bet that of the reviewer scored it a perfect 10 with the exact same text then it'd be a great review to some though.

People are going to have to get over the difference of opinions, and plain common sense would dictate that a tv component that pulled control from the player might not be the wisest choice for inclusion in a medium literally created upon player input.

gamer11383681d ago (Edited 3681d ago )

What I want from a review is a game given a fair chance by someone who appreciates that type of game. That's why most outlets get their resident souls fan to review Dark souls/Bloodborne etc.

He's not a sceptic. He states he clearly doesn't like these kind of story driven games. A sceptic for example would be so one who's liked story driven games but isn't sold on the live action or enjoyed Max Payne but found Alan wake too slow. He probably hates critically acclaimed story games like tell tales walking dead for example. He also hasn't enjoyed any of remedy's body of work so why bother reviewing their latest?

This guy went into this review clearly with an axe to grind. My comparison with a game like Dark souls is still valid. People who don't enjoy that kind of game will not enjoy it. It's that same with this guy.

sammarshall1023682d ago

Clicks is what it's all about these days for these websites unfortunately. There's no honor or integrity

Amazing game. If you like TPS then take the plunge

Rimeskeem3681d ago

The game is not bad, it's simply not as great as the hype wanted it to be.

sammarshall1023681d ago

Have you played it yet? It's great one of best games this generation

Yetter3681d ago

I liked it a whole lot

Rimeskeem3681d ago

Yes, it was alright, not really my cup of tea. And I love Uncharted.

Thatguy-3103681d ago

Idk I guess people just lost the meaning for certain words like "AMAZING, INNOVATIVE etc". News flash! Don't hype up something like the second coming of jesus and then moan about it when people think it's an alright game.

G20WLY3681d ago

There really have been some stinging remarks made about this game in the reviews. Everything from "boring" to "broken" and now "snoozefest" - they are not holding back. :/

Here's my problem with this kind of review is that the reviewer as no clear explanation as to why the review is only fair.

3/4 of the review is about how he didn't really liked the Story (while also saying that the Story is well written).

As for the gaming part there was no real complaints

to save you time I have copied the game part of the review:

"When you aren’t sitting through the television show or the cutscenes (re:when you’re actually playing a game), Quantum Break serves as a pretty ordinary third-person shooter. The additional ripple is that Jack has been given, as a result of events in the story, some supernatural “time powers.” You’ll be able to freeze enemies, create a time shield around yourself, dash/run through time, and you even have the inexplicable ability to explode enemies with some sort of time bomb. The powers are… in a word, they’re ridiculous, and ultimately they don’t make a lot of sense within the context of the story.

However, the moment-to-moment gunplay is actually quite fun. The cover system is automatic (which can be a headache at the beginning of the game) but once you’ve been given access to the full roster of powers, you’ll be zipping around the map pretty effortlessly. The game would be a lot better if you were able to combine the powers in more meaningful ways, but as it stands it’s still a reasonably entertaining game. While the powers are absurd (and make no mistake, they are), combining the gunplay with your time abilities both looks and feels fantastic; you’ll encounter some genuine moments of badassery, but those moments will be few and far between. There’s an unbelievable amount of story sequences throughout the game (many of which have you wandering hallways while listening to someone talk), and in total the actual gameplay takes up about 25% of the overall package."

There! this is the only gaming aspect of the review

But At least he was honest about saying that he never was a big fan Remedy's idea of introducing tv, wasn't rooting for QB and never played Alan Wake.

You're still overlooking this Remedy sci-fi shooter, and its 89% cheaper on Steam Deck

Before Control Resonant launches, you need to play Remedy's mind-bending Quantum Break, one of the best third-person shooters around.

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN789d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit789d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead788d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica788d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL788d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit788d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash788d ago (Edited 788d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper788d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica787d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer789d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit789d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer789d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit788d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183788d ago (Edited 788d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer788d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183788d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper788d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal789d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood789d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183788d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde789d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion805d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer805d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion804d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77804d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw805d ago (Edited 805d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder805d ago (Edited 805d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai804d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
