Quantum Break
For all the mixed reviews it got, Quantum Break aimed to make use of Microsoft's original vision of the X1. Combining games with other forms of media. Originally there was going to be a television show that aired alongside Quantum Break, instead, they put it in-game between the chapters. You can opt to skip these, but they show an interesting view point, which is Monarch's side of the main story and the internal struggle going on there.
This is your typical Remedy game. That means it's not very long, but the story, visuals, sound, gameplay, controls.. All of it is top-tier. You play as Jack Joyce. A man who, through an accident, gains the ability to manipulate time in...

Quantum Break is an interesting game that seems to be lauded by some and critically panned by others. It reminds me of older Phillips CDI games with live footage mixed with gameplay. QB seems to do that all better, but it's a kind of genre I haven't gotten into beyond the camp affinity I have for Sewer Shark or Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. And truth be told, I haven't played those games either but I sort of appreciate them and how they sit in the retro community.
Oh, meant to ask. How did you play QB? PC or XBone?
I actually played it on the X1. I didn't take advantage of the pre-order offer to get a free Win10 copy, due to my comp limitations.
I hadn't really heard much about this so I looked it up. After seeing the cast I'm disappointed that the show never happened!
This is something I'm not willing to gamble on at $60, but it looks intriguing enough to buy it when the price drops or there's a sale. Unfortunately, it's not on Steam (only the Microsoft store) so it's not as likely to get deep discounts as frequently.
That's true. but E3 and the Summer Sale are just around the corner, so keep your eye out! The show is embedded in the game, and happens at the end of each chapter. It changes slightly based on your decisions, which is pretty cool. Originally, the show (from my understanding) was going to happen based on the most popular outcomes of each chapter, which would have been pretty cool, but I like how they did it instead. You can steam them, or you can download a free 75GB episode pack, which includes all outcomes and choices so you can view them offline.
Do you need to have bought the game to download the episodes?
You shouldn't need to, no. Worst case, you can check them out on Youtube.
Awesome, thanks.
