Alan Wake- Light is your weapon. Quantum Break- Time is your weapon.

Finally we get to play as Max Caufield's dad

The only KZfaq channel that I trust when it comes to video games

Quantum Break is fantastic. Mechanically sound, visually different and thematically unique. Thoroughly enjoying it!

I’m very late to the party and only just now playing this- I really regret waiting so long, it’s a fantastic game! I thought I would hate the live action part, but it actually adds to the experience. And despite the over abundance of time travel themed sci-fi stuff, they actually find a take on it that is a bit outside the box and very entertaining!

Life is Strange : Days of Future Past

Who else is watching this after they bought quantum break? Lol.

honestly i love this game to death except for ONE THING this game has one of my all time biggest pet peeves, it provides you with a TON of stuff to read and look at but when you stop to look at or read something....the friendly npcs you are with keep trying to rush you. i fucking hate this, if i want to take the time to enjoy the world you made for me....dont make someone or something make me feel rushed. there is a time and place to rush the player of a game, when they are reading a world building piece of material you left in the game is NOT one of the times to rush a player.

This game is AMAZING! I just beat it

I'd like to see something like a "Shrodinger's dodge" or something. Like where you could either be shot, or not shot when heading straight into bullets when its activated.

I was freaking out during the cutscenes! Then I heard the commentary "live action cutscenes" my mind then relaxed

Game is on Game Pass and I'm on act 3 and so far, I'm having a blast. . Fun mechanics, feels like Max Payne on 6 Red Bulls.. lol

The graphics is so amazing , just wow .

Alan wake Quantum break Rubber snake Chocolate shake Meh

I agree with the collectibles/narrative situation. I find myself missing a lot because of the forward progression. Luckily there is a timeline that tells you what you've missed and where to grab them for a second play through.

Since I found this channel a year ago, this is the first stop before I consider playing a game!! I know this was 7 years ago, but thank you!

One of the most underrated and unique games I ever played. I can honestly say that I never played anything like this.

This is my favorite game I've ever played. I think it's so unique in it's elements and how it incorporates live action and decision making into the game. I really wish it got more press because I thought this game was magnificent

Man, I was pretty stoked for this one because I'm one of those people who complains there aren't enough single player game, but it looks like I'll be waiting for this to be 20 - 40 dollars in a few months.

i don't have the game or the xbox1 so i just watched this video for fun

I just got this game yesterday and just finished the second episode. I really like how the live action worked into it. It wasn’t forced and it made me consider my decisions a lot more before making any. The live action also gave you a break from the amount of information you were getting in game. The amount of lore you get is amazing but I can also understand that it can be really overwhelming at the same time. The narrative/lore is pretty easy to find and it does a great job of letting you also understand the mindset and motivations of characters and gives you some early background on their real intentions.

Wish that way more gms we got were more focused on the single player story & experience. 1 of the better gaming experiences & stories ive had & taken part off. There's nothing better than playin thru an emotionally indulging, gripping, & immersive experience of a great single player campaign.

I think it is the first time that in the picture of the video, the head matches with the body :)

The teleporting soldiers... never fails to amaze me

Really cool game. I like the story and I like how they blended live action elements into it. It all flows really well

I love playing this game on my Xbox one. I love that there is an time manipulation mechanic that is similar to bullet time used in Max Payne!

I somehow missed this game completely, I think because I wasn't gaming much when it came out. But wow seeing this for the first time I knew immediately it was from the devs that made Control which I love. I might have to go back and play this

Probably my favorite game to come out in the 2010's

Is it just me but when I saw the photo for this I thought it was Sam for corridor digital

This game was a lot of fun. Would like to see them go back to it in some way. Not sure how exactly, but would be cool to play again. One of the best time manipulation games I've played.

your channel is so nice, we see you try to pick out every pros and cons about the game you're talking about, that's so nicer than some "video games" channels ^^

Quantum Break is basically Xbox version of Order 1886 but much better

I think its a great game. Solid story. Quick thinking fast fighting firefights. This game has incredible pace. And its voice acting is flawless. Because the voices really belong to those faces. Its very credible. And not to mention os has replay value.... Because you make many choices throughout the game. 9.8 out of 10.

Ive had it since 2018. I bought a cheap gaming laptop on blackfriday 2018 and got this game for 2$ on disk shortly afterwards. The gaming laptop had a 1050ti and technically played the game but not that well. Bogged down low framerates on lower settings. Everyone said it was power hungry so i put it down. I just got a new Asus a17 4060 laptop and now i can play it on ultra with great fps. I think the game itself was just ahead of the average graphic power at the time

thanx jake I asked you on your channel to do a before you buy for this and you did man you are awesome i love the look of the game im getting it asap once again thanx

I actually picked up this game because of this video. I wasn’t blown away by most aspects of the game, but I think the story is very strong. Really unique and mostly fun. Worth it at a discounted price.

Honestly my favorite parts of this game don't really have much to do with the gameplay, but the story and the visuals. The story is really compelling and I've gotten REALLY into exploring every last detail of this world, and I'm already curious about the stuff they didn't expand upon. And the visuals during the time-stopped sequences are AMAZING, the stutters/fracture are my favorite part because being able to move around with sparks stopped in their paths and falling objects frozen midair is SO cool, plus that fractured glass looking glitchy effect that ripples through the world when you use any of the time powers is super neat. The scene on the bridge where you're basically platforming along a bunch of broken pieces of the bridge as it's frozen falling into the river is AMAZING and I would probably play a game made up of just gameplay like that. Especially with how pretty it is and how nice the colors are. That's another thing that struck me about this game, visually speaking, is the color palette. It reminds me a lot of why I liked Pacific Rim so much when that movie first came out, because it was so colorful and bright and interesting, and there are a lot of similarities in the use of blue/yellow contrast-y stuff. It's just pleasant to look at. Anyway I think you can tell that I REALLY love this game, and I thoroughly look forward to buying it when I have saved up enough money. Sadly I can't afford much of anything right now, but when I can, this is one of the first "frivolous" purchases I plan on making!

Love this channel been here for a while.

i got the game on release day. i love it. the story is great the gameplay is great. like you said i noticed a few glitches. during cut scenes it can be hard to see some people because there would be a time rift covering them. but overall i would strongly recommend the gsme for its story.

This is free on Xbox Game Pass and I just downloaded it. The combat with the slow-mo reminds me of the old FEAR games (the first two, primarily. The third one was trash). This looks cool and I think I'm going to enjoy it 🤙

It was a little off for me when I saw that the movie cutscenes were live action. But I guess I can overlook that flaw since the game does look pretty good

5 years later and I'm just starting it woohoo

I think an idea similar to this would make for an awesome Flash game. As the Flash you would always move at normal speeds. but when you use his super speed, the world would slow down around you.

I'm finally playing this game in 2022 and I'm really enjoying it! Not perfect but a super fun single player game! Wishing I played it sooner. Over all I'd give it a 7/10.

But will this game replace the thousand's of Max Payne 3 games in the discount video bin?

Does gameranx reply?

Thanks for the video, I almost bought this game right away but realized I'd rather prioritize my focus on the games I haven't finished yet. That being said I will be adding this to my list of the games for the upcoming months. Thanks again for the review.

I would like to mention that the live action video segments aren't actually on the disc. They stream whenever you watch one so if you have limited internet or a bad connection you may want to wait for this game. That being said you can download the videos to avoid issues, but the download size is around 80 gigs.

this is why I loving having the ps4 and Xbox one cause I get to play really good exclusives like this one.

Watching 5 months later because of steam release! :)

I love Jake's voice gives me warm feelings inside ya know. if only he could narrate my life

I love gameranx upload rate every morning I began my day with a gameranx video 😊😊

I fucking loved it. Beat it already. Very rich and interesting story with many twists while at the same time, having time powers is bad ass I would give a 9/10

I guess the xbox 720 rumor was true all along

This is a game that I've thought about playing for years and just never got around to it. Will have to give it a shot sometime.

Quantum Break is the best game I've ever played, and I've played a lot of games. It is by far my favorite. I think that is because I don't consider myself a gamer. If I could divide my time between gaming and movies/tv, I would do 30% games 70% movies. I am much more enthralled by watching a story unfold in full than I am by the actual act of playing. In most games, the unfolding of the storyline suffers due to gameplay. By that I mean if you play on Easy you get the story, but if you want the challenge of a good game, you end up repeating levels 50 times because there is one part you can't beat. I know that doesn't bother a lot of people, but it really takes away from my experience of the story. I never had this problem with Quantum Break. Even playing on hard, the game still flowed well and felt like a story. I think if you are really into gaming, rather than story(movie/tv type) this game will feel a little flat, like it falls short. But to someone like me (who would rather watch a good movie than play a good game), Quantum Break is a revolution. I would rather play Quantum Break than watch a movie. And the strong feeling of the story keeps driving me to replay it again and again.

I would sell my soul to the devil to have Remedy remake the first two Max Payne games reaching contemporary AAA Remedy/Rockstar standards (same as Quantum Break).

I love when Gamepass chucks up some rando game and I get to go back and listen to young Jake tell me if I wanna play it or not

This helps me a lot to have an idea about the game, and I think I will like it, I love reading a lot of things to get deep into the story, and the shooting looks more like an old school game so it's a must buy for me

"Looks like shit" "Looks basic" -every Playstation gamer ever on Quantum Break

Huh. I had no interest in this game, but this video has made me kind of want to play it.

ever since i played older games like gabriel knight 2 and Phantasmagoria. i have been missing those live action scenes. i think live action mixed with gaming is something single player gaming was missing a lot. of course people wanna see the scenes and games in one fell swoop but there are things we can never get to. and this is one. that said i think live action scenes are just that much more incredible when it comes to putting the story alive.

OMG you said it before I could comment the jumping and climbing my God horrid reminds me of old uncharted. That being said I love the game. This, the new tomb raiders, uncharted all of those with a solid story that makes you feel like you're living out a movie

Maybe its just me but I get a real imfamous vibe...

I just want to freeze time so I can walk around the enemy's and take their guns.

I'm still playing it, and at first I wasn't sure about the live episodes...but I'm loving this game.....

Really good story if a bit short, the live action segments were very well executed, and felt very much connected to the main game. The main flaw was though that I felt I knew more about the side characters than the main characters by the end of the game. Game play wise the time powers were very fun and interesting with the extra dynamics they added to fights and how they could be use to solve puzzles, unfortunately the guns weren't quite as good quality as their damage and aim was a bit inconsistent and the infinite ammo pistol you had permanently slightly ruined the tension you get from running low on ammo (although I understand they had to do it otherwise some of the fights would've been impossible without ammo). Overall probably my favourite single player release for the Xbox One thus far, with it being packed with action, a decent science foundation to base the fiction of the time travelling science on and plenty of interesting, likeable/ purposely dislikeable characters, that will hopefully be expanded on in future iterations.

Who's here after the steam's sale?

this game maybe took the idea of time mechanics from time shift or SUPER HOT

Everytime I think about getting a game first thing i do is search 'before you buy' XD shot man you have a great channel and I really dig your honesty in all of your reviews, keep on keeping on ;)

Loved the Story. Entertaining. Played it on release twice and just started it again today (on easy, story beats challenge).

Works better as a TV Show than a video game

i'll play it when it's $20.

Very very useful video. Thanks bro! :)

just clued into this game because of Alan Wake 2 - just needed more Remedy in my life! Really loved it. Agree with the criticisms, but ultimately will probably replay and am in the bag for a sequel if they ever make one

It looks like infamous

You are very mixed about it but would give it an 8/10? That doesn't add up, an 8/10 game will have problems like any other game but not as many as you described

I'm your '2,955,000 + 1' subscriber and your channel is awesome bro

Late by 7 years but found this for $10 which getting at a local game store wasn’t a bad find at all. I think as of right now they’re working on licensing so it’s temporarily D-listed so I’m happy to own the game and so far my experience has been great. I really loved Control and this has a lot of familiarity to me. I have the Alan Wake remaster so that’s on my list of games to get to in my back catalog.

Honestly loved it 8.5/10

Enter The Gungeon - Before You Buy?

Love this game is fun I didn't know it was part show when I loaded the game I think that's absolutely cool they did that..I just started it

This game was awesome, will be posting my final impressions in detail tomorrow!

When he said the TV show part looks a bit higher quality then a CW show, I looked at he Flash

a great $20 summer sale title

Amazing game, graphics are beautiful and facial animations are one of the best i have seen. Took little less than 13hours to complete and i read 80% of the emails.

I'm playing it right now, as I watch your commentary, the game is awesome. love it. The one thing I do not is the jumping, climbing walking and running they are far too slow don't the main character does not appear to be the superhero well trained type, just make the jumping better and the walking not so static, the running Faster, still pending comment on the melee attacks. Do you live action TV show interaction is genius. Mobility is critical to me in every game so my rank for it would be a 7 or 8 like yourself. No all and all to beat the game is Platinum, Ultra if they fixed the mobility issues Ultra being a 9-10.

i think quantum break is cool

Somehow this looks boring. Who needs guns when you have a kickass supa powah, too much shooting that actually require so less accuracy. And the powah is useless when it comes to mobility, like you can’t run over the sky high buildings etc. Maybe the open world is just flat. Also the main character doesn’t look mysterious or interesting at all. I am just waiting for prototype 3 here.

The live action episodes remind me of the first 2 max payne's comic book cinematics that were basically pictures and voice acting of the game devs and their friends and family.

Loved this game! Hoping we get another!

HAH THIS IS UNCHARTED AND INFAMOUS MIXED TOGETHER 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I JUST WANT ALAN WAKE 2!!!!

I'm glad you lemme know that it's only 9-10 hrs, because for me that shows that there isn't much replayability to it, and probably not worth my money until it's on sale, granted there is always going to be completionists out there that'll say there's more, but to me the game should be based on the main story, as it seems you kept to. So thank you for the review, I'll be happy with Enter the Gungeon (which by the way is incredible and you should check out).

PLEASE make a video about the evolution/history of MIRRORS in video games! THANKS A LOT! You can mention banjo kazzooie and the difference between the Unreal engine 3 and 4 and so on

Yet another game that was sold as a 10/10 but is actually a 7ish/10.

Funny how people categorise this game without knowing what makes Remedy games so special. and this game is no different.

I bought this game on the summer sale and I absolutely loved the game for me it was an amazing story

its a refreshing take on fps, definitely a valiant effort to push the genre and im 6 years late to the party but hey ...times relative

1/10 - I've never given a game a 1/10. 2/10 - Same as 1/10. 3/10 - Games like Ride To Hell Retribution and Sonic '06 that are bad but could have been okay 4/10 - Games that are okay but they're lacking or broken. 5/10 - uninteresting, mundane, or just okay games that I would recommend to people who were interested. 6/10 - A little bit of replayability and decent gameplay/a good story. Limbo, Resident Evil (PSOne). 7/10 - Something worth recommending to a friend. Good mechanics, good story, good gameplay elements, a decent amount of content. Resident Evil 4, Prototype (1 and 2), Dead Space. 8/10 - A great game. Something that's close to a work of art that leaves me satisfied at the end of a gaming session. Fallout 3/New Vegas, Naruto Shippuden UNS3/4, Dead Rising 2 OTR, Skyrim. 9/10 - An amazing game, truly spectacular. Would recommend to strangers on the street. Fallout 4, Until Dawn. 10/10 - It's impossible to get a 10/10. Nothing is perfect.
