Quantum Break Review Thread: 76 OC (70 Reviews) 77 MC (105 Reviews)

[DerNebel]

Jesus currently a 74 on meta (will go up I reckon) didn't expect that.

[ethomaz]

I will update the OP in the morning...

Looking like a solid 70 MC.

[Dr. Pezus]

Wow, 6 from GameSpot

Lol the meta front page has it at 85 but when you click on it it says 75

[DerNebel]

78 now, I gotta check reactions in some places should be pretty entertaining.

[Xevross]

Ouch! That Gamespot score!

 This isn't as good as I was expecting.

Seems like it's repetitive and has too many gameplay breaks.

Wow. A 78 after 62 critics. Listening to the early impressions from the review copies before the embargo lifted, you would have thought this game was going to score way higher.

MS money hat (just kidding)




"If they dial back the gorgonzola, the product placement and adjust that cover mechanic, this could have been a perfect game..."

Okay, ignoring the tense changes in a single sentence, which is a no no, what the fudge does cheese have to do with the game and how is it a 10/10 with the cover mechanic that needs some work. I mean, the rest of the reviews make it obvious that it isn't.

"Quantum Break isn't just the best game I've played on Xbox One - It's one of the greatest games I've played in years."

Must have only owned a xb360 last gen and xb1 this gen

(on to critique the low score)

The low scores seem valid. Just a terrible conversion from MC for a 5 scale rating system.

Well, there's still a shot at the back of this year. Q3/Q4 2016! The half year of Xbox One!

Who is this and what is he talking about?

Who is this and what is he talking about?

I'm assuming the "greatest lineup in Xbox history continues into 2016" that Ms was saying

[Raven]

Who is this and what is he talking about?

That's me talking about the claims I keep hearing from fanboys saying 2016 is The Year of Xbox One.

Every year is the year of the Xbox One, it literally has the greatest lineup in Xbox history all the time, it's just reflected neither in sales nor reception.

Btw. guess who jinxed it: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/quantum-break-preorders-well-ahead-of-plan-could-b/1100-6436196/

It's at 76 on Open Critic.

I figured out MCs poorly executed dog conversion for 5 point scale. Their flaw is that for each point they multiply by 20. 5 stars = 100. However, what they fail to take into consideration is that there are actually 6 points. I mean, what if a game was so cringe worthy, so broken that out of a 10 point scale the reviewer rated it a 1? What would the counterpart for said game be with stars? Definitely not 1 star. That would be a 2/10. It would really be a 0/5. So you have, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 stars making 6 values. Each star should be worth -17 points. 4/5 = 83. 3/5 = 67. 2/5 = 50 1/5 = 33.  Seriously, 3/5 star reviews tend to be closer to a 70 vibe than a 60 vibe. Especially 2/5 seems closer to 50 than a 40

dang, I just realized that I predicted QB's score correctly back in October. Why did I change my mind? I could have been right!!! D:
