I think you mean 7. With half of those being interactive walking cutscenes or the TV show.

It might be 7 hours long but it feels like 40. I started out thinking it was dope but I'm going to say at this point it's teetering somewhere between worth $15 and terrible. Maybe one of the lamest time travel stories ever told with some sloppy rear end gameplay sandwiched in between.

There are some interesting bits, like what exactly is Martin Hatch's deal, and the way the "rules" work and the somewhat clever way they can subvert them while still playing by them, that you only get in the notes laying about. The problem is this hunting for things to read interferes with Iceman's Bullet Puzzle Adventure 2005. Hatch, though... Hatch is really, really interesting. I'd like to know what you think of him after you finish the game.

Yeah, I don't hate the actual story. it's a little bit corny but it's enjoyable enough. The time travel aspect of it just seems super lame and half baked, and even lamer in a gameplay context. All of his powers seems so loosely related to time travel and the non combat stuff is so canned it feels like a joke. I probably missed a lot of exposition because the game talks over itself so much and piles every bit of lore on top of each other though. hatch is already dead at the point I'm at. Tbh I didn't fully understand what his plan was maybe there is more coming up, but I am at what I'm pretty sure is the end boss. I was going to finish it tonight, but Serene's AOE attack was annoying the hell out of me. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Aug 13, 2017 |

I'd have enjoyed Quantum Break more if it hadn't been another overtly cynical (from a game business perspective) "story" game where everything about it is a hook for a sequel, one that in this case will never get made because of how poorly it sold. Another The Order 1886 scenario basically. I've loved most of Remedy's few games (the Max Payne duology and Alan Wake's American Nightmare are incredible, OG Alan Wake is all right), but Quantum Break was disappointing drivel and I'd assume its existence is only because Microsoft really wanted to compete with Sony and their story based adventure games like Uncharted.

That fight is not terribly hard (or even long!) the AoE starts near you so as long as you move to the other side of the area you should be fine.

I take back what I said last night about the end boss fight of quantum break not seeming that bad. This is definitely getting my worst boss fight of the year award. I'd kill to be able to just bump it down to easy and watch the ending, but like most other things about Quantum Break, it's a relic of the PS2 era and doesn't let you switch difficulties. This entire fight is a nightmare. I literally can't tell the difference between the AOE red attack and the red poo poo spreading all over the floor all the time, the camera auto pans to wherever it is, sticking it behind Jack, so when I try to run out of there he gets stuck on something I couldn't see, and of course has to do a very long and cinematic animation that gets me killed. The checkpoint is before the cutscene, which is hiding another load, so I have to watch two load screens to get back to the fight, which has no checkpoints, much like the rest of the over long battles in this game. I hate this game so much right now. Ive died like 30 times on this poo poo.

/\/\/\/\You only need to actually shoot Paul twice. He yells when he does his AoE, if you stay at either end of the room and run across to the opposite end when you hear him yell it makes it way easier. Then it's just murdering goons. Don't let them draw you out, switch positions when the AoE starts. HyperPuma posted:lots of things about the xbox one are unbelievable Punching up, I see. So, Hatch. Hatch is a shifter (like Dr. Kim, the one wandering around the last level murdering everyone) who found a way to claw his way back from that state; he keeps it under control with the same eye drops that Paul Serene uses. Those eye drops are only for people with Time Sickness or whatever it's called, to dull the symptoms. He absolutely wants the End of Time, where shifters can stop being driven crazy by existing in all timelines at once. That's why you can't kill a shifter, it just swaps in a double from a timeline where you didn't shoot it, and goes even crazier. The current Hatch is still Hatch, but he's not our Hatch. So, for the extremely unlikely Season 2 of Iceman's Pullet Puzzle Adventure 2005, Iceman would find a way to bring a quantum version of Beth who didn't die back, as well as maybe a non-evil version of Littlefinger, since they exist in some timeline. The End of Time is going to happen still, Hatch will see to that, but Merry would probably figure out some way to go after the End of Time to start it back up again, probably using stuff salvaged from the Lifeboat Protocol, which isn't a terrible idea to begin with. The title "Quantum Break" has a little more to do with the story than just sounding cool. Too bad about the reception and gameplay. CAPT.

I know what I'm technically supposed to do. It's more a matter of finding the fight incredibly visually disorienting and jacks tendency to do long dramatic stumbling animations every time he makes contact with one of the 1000 objects strewn around the room. This technically shouldn't be hard at all but here I am like 2 hours later. The worst part is that my deaths feel totally random. Like, I'm just standing there fine and he drops dead. Does Xbox have share play? I'd pay someone like 5 dollars to just beat this for me lol. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Aug 13, 2017 |

All in all it took me like 2.5 hours to get through, and then the ending was a 1 minute long lame cliff hanger. Any tiny bit of love I had left for that game was drained during that fight. Already traded it in. What a pos. It has potential and some good qualities, but there was just so much wrong with it I'd never recommend it to anyone.

After getting REAL MAD about PS4 Pro coming out so soon after PS4 (and also my latest GPU upgrade to a GTX 1080) I swore I was done with non Nintendo consoles. I impulse bought this thing today when it went up for preorder on Amazon. Will I have regerts? Are the Forza games still good/can you still LS swap into other cars? I really appreciated how Forza catered to white trash REAL Americans like myself. Gran Turismo always pissed me off with the lack of drag racing, LS swaps, and stupid dyno queen Japanese cars like Supras being faster around a road course than a Corvette. Are the XBOX One Gears of War and Halo games any good? I'm basically only going to be exclusives (anything not on Steam counts as far as I'm concerned) since everything else is better on a good PC. I just bought a $500 Minecraft box for my kid, didn't I.

Yeah, pretty much. Microsoft doesn't have "exclusives" anymore, all of their games for the past like 2 years (and all games going forward) at the very least are also available via the Windows 10 app store with true 4K60 support if you have a powerful enough system to pull that off. And this is a loving tiny list, too, it's pretty much Forza/Halo/Gears like you said with seriously nothing else, and all of those series have taken a serious quality downgrade (with Forza maybe coming out the "best" out of those three). It is a 100% downgrade from your PC because every game that would theoretically benefit from the Xbox One X you can get on PC and actually run at 4K60 instead of pretend 4K60. The PS4 Pro, despite making you hella-mad for daring to come out 3 years after the PS4 launch, does actually have a fat library of true not-on-PC exclusives.

If you want to play Forza, get it on PC in a couple months. You have a high end gaming PC, and PS4, and it sounds like maybe you have a Switch, you don't need an xbox. Xbox has nothing to offer you. Just get a PS4 Pro.

Figure id get the best of both worlds that way. I've struggled to find much to play on it tbh. I'm personally looking forward to PU battlegrounds and cuphead but that's about it. I'm playing the new Halo right now and it blows.

Depending on your UHD Blu-ray wants, you may be better off with a dedicated player (e.g. if you want Dolby Vision), and may also want to consider the hella-cheaper Xbox One S (especially since many upgraders will be off-loading theirs) and just get all the Xbox games you want on PC.

It was wonky at first in terms of performance but I think they mostly fixed it. ODST is available as paid DLC for MCC, AND the 360 version is planned to come to BC before the end of the year along with the rest of the 360 Halo's, because MCC has been such an unmitigated disaster that never got fixed.
