Quantum Break reviews are coming in and they are looking......

^Cool, as I say havnt come across any yet, but good to know!

 

You unlocked the cheevo yet?

 

RippenHarra, I understand you don't like the person (in this case Angry Joe) but you kinda did not address the argument. You created a Red Herring and a Logical Fallacy of Ad Hominem.

If you could address the actual complaint (given the specific) of, you can jump on top of some stuff but other items of the same height you cannot. Just because you did not feel you had a desire to do so, does not mean the logical problem does not exist.

I'm just asking can you actually defend such a position of "game-design" or justify within the Game's World itself. Or should we just say one cannot because of "reasons"?

 

Because the devs didn't want you to. Easy. It's a game. There are plenty of games were you can't climb certain points unless you are allowed to. Rise of the tomb raider being one. Didn't affect the game at all just like QB. In one of joes examples the white
van and the black van he climbed aren't even the same height despite him claiming they are. Consider it Addressed and it's about as much addressed as your comments that most new games are trite.

 

The blind fire criticism is bogus, its not a game about hiding behind cover its a game about using your powers to overcome the enemies. Hiding behind cover will do you no good whatsoever and no amount of blind fire would be helpful when a chrono trooper
just blinks behind you.

Rippen no I don't (yet). One thing I don't get though, is the timeline tells you how many collectibles are in each act and that doesn't change whatever junction you take.

 

Sorry Rippen but I'm not seeing the logic of "reasons". If I can climb a black van but not a white van being nearly identical, I just don't see it as making sense even if it's because the Devs wanted it that way. In addition,
a Game that Features Platforming for problem solving when one set of rules apply but then do not apply in nearly an identical situation it just makes for a immersion-breaking experience.

As for the "no blind fire" defense, again because "reasons" you are supposed to use your time powers instead. Is it not at it's core fundamentally a cover-based shooter? If not then it's "action" was severely miscommunicated. Sorry you may accept that as a
logical answer but I among many others will not.

Curious but is anyone going to want to defend or address the FMV excuse for "cut-scenes"?

And no, I will not respond to Ad Hominem or Character Attacks as deflection.

 

No its not a cover based shooter, the enemies wont allow you to stay in cover much, the will flank and get behind you, if you don't keep moving your dead, yes you use the cover but staying in one place for long will result in death. As for the platforming
I never experienced any issues with not being able to climb anything I needed to.

I really don't care what you will respond to I have no interest in your opinion to be honest, ive played the game and enjoyed it enough to want to play it again. I have no interest in engaging in a conversation with someone who sets themselves up as some
kind of intellectual and keeps trotting out the same old phrases to reinforce this impression. Why should I or anyone else defend the FMV section. You don't like the game don't buy it or play it.

 

I don't have to defend what I liked. I had no problem with The fmv episodes or cutscenes as you like to call them. They kept my interest the whole time I watched them.

 

Genchy, two problems. First, you created an Ad Hominem and a Straw-man. No one ever suggested people want to just stay in one spot or sit there. That is a Straw-man argument you created in your head to easily refute, not the way
discussion works but meh.

If you want to simply state it's not a "cover-based shooter", more power to you and good luck with that assertion.

And Rippen, the same to you for the FMV "cut-scenes". If you are fine with Gaming devolving 30 years into the past that's on you. I will not support such lazy Game Development behavior in any way.

 

'' If I can climb a black van but not a white van being nearly identical, I just don't see it as making sense''

Jesus talk about nit picking, how exactly does that affect the story and game? it didn't make the game less fun because I couldn't climb on certain objects. Also it's not a 3rd person shooter cover based game, if you play it like that than you will die a
lot.

Having actually played through it and taking my time with it (ie not rush through it to get a review out) I can happily say this is the most fun game I've played since I've owned an XB1. The game design and tv shows are well made, Remedy should be praised
for blending the 2 so well and trying something different.

 

Don't see the problem,

for years,we got time to time some interactive movies (Kojima did that with MGS 1,2,3,4 and he is treat like a god and he's not alone)....Nothing wrong with Quantum Break,Remedy just add some live action episodes into the mix.That's all.

I'm not a big fan of 10 hours story telling games,mainly why i never played Alan Wake (same goes with Quantum Break),and it doesn't means these games are bad.Not my style,i don't buy.

And i can spend time on games that i like & enjoy and also laught at Angry Joe bias,stupid and without much knowledge reviews (especially on Xbox one)(How can i believe a guy who gave 10/10 to "a need more than 20 patches to try to fix a downgraded RPG like
Skyrim").

Angry Joe is a show.Nothing serious.

 

Good to see LK hasn't changed a bit. Reading part of this discussion and his thoughts make me want to go check out this game even more now.

 

I would not call Break a cover base shooter. I can't think of any cover base shooter which I played where bad guys can destroy my cover. Angry Joe sorry I have tired to watch him and made thru 3 of his vids. Too Foul month, Too long, and not entertaining.
His production values have increase since I first discovered him.

As to developers having places you can't jump to. That has happen since a certain plumber started eating mushrooms.

I have discover 1 bug. Sometimes you don't get credit for picking up a collectable. During Act 4 I viewed some wall art but the game did not give me credit.

I did do a quick review over in the QB forum.

 

wow, this thread took a turn to the silly, arguing over not being able to climb on top of certain environmental elements? the cover system? which i wouldn't even call it a cover based shooter, as you can't interact with the cover or blind fire, it's more
like soft cover where all you do is squat behind things, but it provides a place to dash to in order to confuse enemies and recoup for a few seconds, otherwise most of your time powers would be completely unnecessary if it had a system like The Division.

Angry Joe is a terrible reviewer IMHO, all he has are angry rants about things he nitpicks, and that resonates with other people who can't allow themselves to just be entertained and/or so weak minded that they're unable to form their own opinions.

i still haven't completed Quantum Break because i got sucked back into The Division, but i do find Quantum Break to be entertaining and will most likely play it again to play out other story paths, even with the simplistic puzzles and lacking story.

and standing back, the box truck and black van look similar, but when he walked up to both, you can clearly see that the box truck was a much higher.

 

LMAO you sony fanboys are pathetic your obviously not happy with your current console choice which is why your on the xbox forums trying to put down them in anyway to make youself feel better but the thing is your waisting your time nobody cares what you
think and imo Quantum Break is a masterpiece
