I've yet to hear anyone say the Live Action stuff in Quatum break added anything of value. It's like someone on Staff was a big fan of The Wire and decided why not get some of the big actors from The Wire to do a much worse tv show within a game that doesn't need a tv show in it.
Other than Easy Allies and some other professional critics, no one else bothered to defend these segments.
Not only The Wire, but Fringe. Quantum Break is literally Fringe: The Game. Funny enough, I never once watched the show, not counting outside promotions and commericals.
Correct. I hope Remedy learned their lesson from this, and dial it way back with Alan Wake II. Given the tone of the teaser trailer, the game is going to be much more darker and serious. They're going in on hard horror. Fine by me.
I didn't consider Fringe but that works a lot more since it does have a lot of weird sci-fi stuff much like Quatum Break does, though Fringe has a lot of goofy shit kinda running alongside the horror stuff and the kooky sci-fi stuff. But Lance Reddick is a big part of Fringe. yeah.
At most places, you can find Quantum Break $6-15 used. Between $15-20 new. At this point, you shouldn't spend no more than $10 to $15. If you decide to pick up the game.
Unlike the live action stuff in Quantum Gate, which is amazing and the only reason anybody would play the game.
I forgot to mention this, but you might like Star Versus The Forces Of Evil. It has really cool monster and demon designs, and there is even a racism angle going on. Unfortunately the story is not done well, but you can at least appluade them for attempting to try. It's not that it's done super poorly, but it doesn't get enough attention as it should in certain parts, and there's a lot of character derailing, or just making most of the main cast unlikable. But most of the supporting monster and demon characters come off fine though. If you have already seen it, then say no more.

That actually sounds pretty interesting, to be honest. Kind of like what Haze also tried to do, though apparently Haze wasn't very good and that's why it's barely remembered. To be fair, I only remember it exists because I was a big fan of unskippable back in ye olde days of the escapist(Thank god it's been archived on youtube).Quantum Gate (video game) - Wikipedia
I remember when Haze got all that hype over the year, before it released. Then the reviews came in and it turned out to just be another Halo/military clone that didn't know what it wanted to be. Before Call of Duty 4, if a game wasn't trying to be Gears of War, it was trying to be Halo, both, or all 3 after 2007.
Yep. Yet another lesson about how, if your primary design goal for a game is to "beat (insert genre leader here)", you're building on a foundation of clay.
Ironically also the primary color palette of games from that era. Although I’ll give credit to Haze for adding some vegetation, even if the whole thing did look…well, hazy.
That's something I brought up during Hidden's stream, "Hey look, the game is at least as advertised."
