Quantum Break: The Misunderstanding

KeenGamer: ''Delving into the past, and taking a second look at Quantum Break. Having personally played the game twice, I believe that Quantum Break’s story is misunderstood. Instead of seeing it as a game, dig deeper and see it as an immersive experience, with an interesting plot and plenty of character development for the protagonist Jack Joyce.''

at the end of the day,quantum break is a very average game and could have,should have been much better in terms of gameplay.

jmetalhead778122555d ago

Quantum Break was like a bikini strip club. You can see the potential. There’s enough there to get you excited, but at the end of the day it left you frustrated and wanting more.

Interesting so everyone here is begging for a sequel to the Order which scored lower than Quantum btw but the very thought of Quantum Break it was terrible bad etc. In fact the quiet man which tried to replicate the live action stuff and failed in a comical fashion. To keep things fair instead of one sided how bout both 1886 and Quantum deserve sequels to fully see the potential in these Ip's.

Yeah, that's not much to ask, given that neither came close to hyped potential...

As I've always said, I really enjoyed Quantum Break. For me it was a great experience only a small notch down from Alan Wake. Remedy's games just resonate really well with me. I thought both the narrative and gameplay were great. Just needed a little more variety and a lengthier campaign.

Unspoken2555d ago

Story, cast, TV episodes, and unique powers were pretty amazing. Game play was average but I played the game for what it was good at, story telling. I loved being able to take different directions in the story line and each TV short left me wanting more. Anytime I had friends over watching the game they would want to see the rest of the series. Had a lot of fun. Too bad their were too many haters.

rainslacker2555d ago

Game had potential, but quickly fell into a standard routine of simplified repetative game play. The TV episodes were an interesting experiment, but just slammed home the notion that a game is a game, and needs to stay true to that, and the story segments should flow naturally with the game, not the other way around. They tried a mixed media idea, and it fell flat. There was no misunderstanding about what they were trying to do, they were quite clear about it. It's just that the idea isn't something that makes an interesting game.

Quantum Break is one of the game I keep installed on my X. Just wish they would have added a multiplayer mode. With those time powers and effects it would have been awesome.

Ricegum2555d ago

You must have some thrilling games installed on your X. I played it on PC and it was very bland so uninstalled very quickly.

Vasto2555d ago (Edited 2555d ago )

You played it on PC but what kind of PC. 4K? HDR? 1080P? 1440P? 30FPS? 60FPS? Just saying PC means nothing. You could have a $100 laptop from Walmart.

Xbox One X is the system to have. You know you are getting 4K every time or something close to it. I have Xbox Game Pass and thats not counting the games I get from Gold and the ones I have purchased. Even still Quantum Break wont get uninstalled.

starchild2555d ago

I played it on PC and thought it was great. And I have access to thousands of games on PC and hundreds just in my library.

NarutoFox2555d ago (Edited 2555d ago )

You should have kept Alan Wake installed on your X and delete Quantum Broken.

Prem8tuaProcrastin8a2555d ago

Wow, "quantum broken"? You think that up all by yourself? That's a really smart jibe. You must be intelligent. Get yourself a cookie 🤡.

NarutoFox2555d ago

I'll save the cookie for Microsoft when they make better exclusives. My tone and attitude will also change.

EddieNX 2555d ago

Does it have X enhancements? I have it but haven't installed it on my X played it when it first came out, was decent.

TheProfessional2555d ago (Edited 2555d ago )

They spent too much time and money on the awful TV sections. Why didnt they put that money into more gameplay or a multiplayer mode? The writing and directing on the TV stuff was terrible and the game had to be delayed so much for those segments that by the time it came out a lot of people had lost interest. The graphics and shooting are good but the story is bad. Remedy should have done alan wake 2 instead.

Dragonscale2555d ago

Good point. Unfortunately it was developed whilst ms were still in their tv obsession at the start of the gen. The worse thing about them were they were 30 mins and unskippable.

starchild2555d ago

To me quantum break was damn near as good as Alan Wake. The only real difference that makes me like Alan Wake a little better is the fact that I preferred the spooky Pacific Northwest atmosphere and that it was a little bit longer experience, but other than that Quantum break was just as good mechanically and narratively.

Tech52555d ago

got the game cheap, a good game for the price to say the least.

chiefJohn1172555d ago

It's only problems was the episode cut scenes took away your mood to game. And the game was too short. Should've added additional content like mp or made the game longer. Gameplay was great

Sciurus_vulgaris2555d ago

I have played and enjoyed Remedy’s two Max Payne titles, Alan Wake and Quantum Break. Remedy’s titles are generally well made stylized 3rd person shooter - action adventure titles. Even though I like Remedy’s games, I generally feel they are too short to warrant full price purchases.

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.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

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.

GamerRN719d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit719d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead719d 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

TheEroica719d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL719d ago

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

S2Killinit719d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash718d ago (Edited 718d ago )

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

StormSnooper718d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica717d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer719d 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

S2Killinit719d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer719d ago

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

S2Killinit719d ago

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

shinoff2183719d ago (Edited 719d 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.

Friendlygamer719d 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

shinoff2183719d 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)

StormSnooper718d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal719d 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.

TwoPicklesGood719d 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.

shinoff2183719d ago

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

DarXyde719d 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.

Petebloodyonion735d 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_Observer735d ago

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

Petebloodyonion735d ago

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

Lightning77735d 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_Observer735d ago (Edited 735d 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?

ZwVw735d ago (Edited 735d 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.

mastershredder735d ago (Edited 735d 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

Jingsing735d ago (Edited 735d ago )

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

isarai735d ago

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