The quick turn is less intuitive than the original resident evil 3 and i think that is really funny. What was wrong with pressing the run button when your backing up to quick turn

I can’t imagine playing a game like this with keyboard and mouse. just feels weird and wrong.

I think I have to take back what I said about the writing. it’s good. great, maybe! keeps getting better the further I get. also, unlike nearly every survival horror game except the first silent hill, is actually getting scarier the further I get.

this sure crashes a lot. kinda kills tension when it goes to desktop on opening the map and tutorial prompts get stuck on screen forever

you ever just think about how they were planting the seeds for this bullshit as far back as 2012?

this house of dreams is also on the white board in quantum break that mentioned altered world events and a bunch of control shit. i am so fucking excited to play more alan wake 2…god damn

i keep thinking about how the main character of quantum break says in the narration when you pick up a gun that he’s “used a gun a few times” but then you find his file later and it says he had extensive weapons training in laos. its like in terminator 2 when you find out sarah has been paling around with guys who are probably fascists to train john connor. it makes it even funnier that you can frame him as a terrorist since he has an appropriate skillset despite being A Guy

I’m going to play alan wake and american nightmare after this. I need to fill the gaps between my weekly alan wake 2 play sessions with as much remedy shit as possible. I will play through control and the max paynes again if I have to.

I’ve been hopping between AW2 and Control myself. The way these games relate to each other now it feels very seamless to spend a few hours in one and later on a couple in the other.

Every game they’ve made since Alan Wake was originally Alan Wake 2 so it’s kind of amazing how well it all goes together. Quantum Break combat feels like a prototype for Control etc etc.

Also this happens like immediately lol

In my own personal analysis of remedy games Quantum Break is also notable for being the remedy game where people say “transpo” 10000 times

quantum break looks so much better than a game released in 2016 should tbh

quantum break is cool because it has venture bros style henchmen. that’s mainly the thing I remember about it. love that shit.

It’s the first game they made that uses northlight! It’s such a ridiculously pretty looking game engine even though it runs like fucking SHIT in quantum break where the cutscenes are all 30 fps but the gameplay is 60 fps except when it randomly isn’t and it jumps between these two framerates constantly

Lance Reddick is so fucking good in Quantum Break…I love him. I wish we could have gotten to see him in Alan Wake 2 but he was sick…every time I sit down for 40 mins of TV between levels and know hes gonna be doing some beast shit it brings a smile to my face…
