I always see mixed reviews when it comes to this game. Looks pretty cool though. I got it for free, but haven't got around to playin' it still. If anything, I'll just be wastin' some time if it's really as borin' as some ppl say it is :manny:

I enjoyed it, but I could see why some people didn't. :manny: . If they work on the gameplay if they ever decide to drop a sequel, I think they have a potential hit on their hands. It definitely had me shook walking through them dark ass woods though. :damn:

One of the best games i've ever played on the xbox tbh...if your into games heavy in story this is a great game..

becomes a bit repetitive at times but the story redeems that by keeping u engaged...only big con is without the dlc's its kinda short but still worth playing

I Dont Wanna Seem Like A Jerk Judging Your Opinion, Cuz It's Your Opinion And That's Cool, But What Did You LIKE About That Story?

I Like A Good Story Too, But That shyt Was Not Interesting In The Least Bit

I'm not sure if this is everyones experience with the game, but a lot of people were disappointed with it not because of what it actually was, but because it didn't reach what it was originally supposed to be.

It was announces as this open world type game, but ended up being a highly linear survival horror/shooter. It was good for what it was, but being highly touted as a AAA exclusive on a console that doesn't have many exclusives, and than not being all that great, left a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouths.

Thanks.

Quantum Break was horrible. I ended up selling it on Offer Up.

It came with a dl code for Alan Wake which I never bothered to use. Im going to dl it today
Depends the kind of games you like.
The reviews for Alan Wake are all over the place.
I would imagine if you never played Alan Wake, coming straight off of Quantum Break is going to be rough off the strength of graphics alone.
The gameplay is much slower in Alan Wake as well.
If you're a fan of horror stories with a twist, and slow, deliberate gameplay you'll enjoy Alan Wake.
In a nutshell Alan Wake feels like playing a Stephen King book...as Stephen King.

I wouldn't say Quantum Break was horrible. It was just a bit over hyped and experimented with being half movie, half video game, which to me didn't pay off. IMO it spent too much time trying to be several different things, instead of mastering one.
