Impressions of the game (Quantum Break)
There are already played ? Describe your impressions of the game.
First launch: how many FPS!? Aeam... I'd rather save up for a new computer.
Years later the second launch on the new computer: how much FPS!?
Well, more unoptimized game on the PC need to look for more and it's still with a soap picture. Even now rtx2080 is not particularly drawn (in 2k).
Tip: turn off the scale to beat the soap. Reflections and volume rays on the middle level. So it was possible to achieve a relatively stable 80 fps in 2k, and the quality of the picture did not fall.
But at the same time (post dancing with tambourine) looks the game perfectly, time distortions are very stylish and spectacular, very detailed levels and perfectly transferred to the game actors: even emotions give out, not just a familiar computer face.
Remedi is beautiful because they are not afraid to experiment. And the love for the stylization of the game under the series in this case has reached a new level. They put a whole real tv series in the game! With actors, effects, plot, action and epileptic operator! Sam Lake is either a genius or a madman or one of two. The idea is not to say that would be bad, but it is not just good either. I need to watch the series in the game is not much annoying, especially since it is at first not bad and sustained in the spirit of the game, and secondly there are only four series for about half an hour. I mean, not so much.
Fighting somewhere on Alan Veik's level, that is so-so. Battles during the time hangs are spectacular ideologically, but in the end somewhat monotonous.
But the main thing for what we love games from Remedi - the plot. In the plot of the time machine in general it is difficult to come up with something radically new, but here Lake quite worked to the maximum. An interesting concept of the End of Time, breaks, chronos, impossibility of changing the past. Interestingly, very elaborated down to the details. Sometimes it's controversial, sometimes drawn for all sorts of places, but still interesting. Good characters, live, changing. Hatch is so epic and mysterious beyond measure! There is no clear kind or villain. You empathize with them, but... not like Max Payne (except for the third part) or Alan Weik. These names are iconic, and the name of the main character of the quantum rift was difficult to remember after the passage of the game. Actually, with the exception of a couple of recent chapters, references to Alan Veik evoked more pleasant emotions than the game itself. However, the plot is still good, it accelerates gradually, and in the end even can itself in strong moments, it was empathetic.
There is a variability of actions that affects events, including even events in the series.
Suddenly, the music is completely passable. Where are Poets of the Fall!?
This is a good story sci-fi game, not without flaws of course, but I do not regret that passed.
8/10
Quantum Break at XO. 100% - collected all collectibles.
Another Microsoft flagship at the dawn of a generation. They wrote a lot about Quantum Break, but all the hype died down immediately after the game was released. There was a patch for Xbox One X in 2017 and that's it.
This is a solid single player - no DLC, no makeup, no pre-order bonuses, no Kinect and SmartGlass (these two actually died by April 2016). From online only statistics of decisions of other players and a streaming series (which can be downloaded to the console). In a way, Quatum Break is Microsoft's blue dream at its best - a fusion of "TV" and games, almost one of a kind. An interesting plot, a large fictional world, where the player with his errands is given quite a bit of space. In numerous notes, a whole world-behind-the-scenes is hidden, which Gg will not have to face. It would seem that there is a whole series to reveal the details, but no, it has its own, separate plot, which has little to do with the main story. Overall, the show is average,
On the game side of Quantum Break. A short TPS, like shooting is not very convenient, but nice, there is a recoil, and the abilities with opponents do not let you get bored. Gg is somehow limited, does not know how to squat, for him even running is a special ability, and he can climb only where it is provided for in the plot, without exceptions. However, this approach gives originality - for once, a non-trivial set. The plot is so important in the game that the shootings feel somehow imposed - opponents jump out in the most unexpected places (the ship is frozen) and none of the characters is surprised how Jack easily endures whole crowds.
The graphics in the game are decent, but there is a lot of techno-soap, as soon as you move the camera, everything turns into a daub, the screenshots show it is not clear what. By the way, all around in the game is Microsoft's technology, which now looks like a distant retro.
A commendable experiment, despite the holes in the plot and a small amount of gameplay, I liked the game. It reminded me very much of the flagship from the opposite camp - The Order: 1886 - a similar hype with similar problems.
Spoiler 
Ps In the Xbox One menu, you can't see the creation date of the save and you can't make screenshots outside of the game, I'm shocked. And that's not to mention the fact that the built-in screenshots are useless without an XSX controller.
The game is interesting, but very short, I really liked the idea with the series, they could just drive all these notes into the series, but who reads them, well, probably, of course someone reads, I’m not, it’s boring, but the ending disappointed, left more questions than answers, perhaps this touched on the continuation, although .... more than 5 years have passed ... In general, the impression is pleasant.
Toli game, toli series.
After passing the game, there were mixed impressions, like the game itself is not bad, although the plot is too banal and clichéd with the theme of time travel where the gameplay makes it possible to stop time and act as the player needs, although after a few hours of passage it starts to become boring. You can choose two different branches of events which then take place in the game, and then these events show in a 20-minute live-action series that slows down the pace of the gameplay itself and you have to watch the series to make the plot clear, although oddly enough the point is that you need to PLAY the game and not watch almost 30 minutes cutscenes that could be made in 5 minutes (maximum 7-10)
