Yeah, but they make replays a chore. The funny thing is, I always like to slow down and appreciate the art and detail, but it's really annoying when a game FORCES me to.

Well if that's true then screw it, i'm gonna play it on Xbox One and then i'll do a second run on PC to try the other choices and unlock all the achievements...I can't wait until week end to play it waiting for the PC version

Having the game out makes me think back to 2013, before we even knew what the next Xbox was going to be. Found this old thread where SuperDAE (remember him?) said Alan Wake 2 was not in development, but instead an "untitled shooter for PC and Durango" was Remedy's next project. The Xbox One reveal with Quantum Break would be the next month. Those were definitely interesting times...

Played through the first few sequences of Act 1, and I'm super impressed. All of that talk about the resolution, and to me it just looks stunning in motion. Character models are some of the best ever.
Once you start getting time powers the game becomes pretty incredible. Also refreshing to have a focused narrative-driven game for a change.

Good to great, the sense of impact is strong, weapons have reasonably realistic recoil, ragdoll and hit reaction are great.
To me it's awesome, pretty fast and funny, also very engaging even on normal difficulty, you always have to move and use your powers to succeed, which make every battle funny and spectacular

Agreed. Although a lot of Giantbomb reviews I've disagreed with in the past. A lot of the guys over there just don't vibe with me unfortunately. But I respect their opinions. Everyone likes different things.
But yeah, I'm on the first Junction section and I'm absolutely in love with it so far.

Same. If the rest of the game is as consistent then I know I'm going to enjoy it. It actually feels like I'm playing a TV series or something. I thought it'd just be actors talking in cutscenes, didn't expect full on action sequences and car chases.
No hats? 2/5. No wonder MS are not releasing it on Steam.
It's definitely something that should have been communicated from the off, but it shouldn't come as a surprise after the circus that was the delivery of the X1 BC codes for the X360 Gears games.

But QB twitter said this?
"Quantum Break ‏@QuantumBreak

Xbox support never knows jack tbh.
Either way, this is all confusing af.

...lacks reading comprehension.
I can't find that tweet. Either a fake or it got deleted.
https://twitter.com/QuantumBreak/status/717042538725515264 But "start going out" isn't much of a commitment and in fact strongly implies the process will take some days to complete.
The action is really satisfying, but I feel like the shooting mechanics are designed to force you to use your time powers.
The aim-assist that accompanies zoom function strongly favors shots to the chest, so it takes a bit of extra concentration to land headshots with the pistol.

I pre-ordered at bestbuy, do we usually getting he bonus pre-order code on the receipt?
That does make sense as they want you to have to use the powers. Otherwise there is no point to them.

I'm sure this has been asked a lot, but if I preordered the digital version on the Bone when will I get my Win 10 version?

Well, they said that it will be released during the 24 hour timeframe of the 5th so yeah that helpdesk chat still came as a nasty blow for me.
Hype got the best of us, sometimes.

Anyone else notice the ghosting?

Temporal reconstruction tech will 100% have ghosting present, just like any heavy temporal AA solution.
Yeah, very occasionally on the back of characters, generally in slow walk sections
Oh yeah it makes perfect sense, and I enjoy it a lot (as I do with all remedy games). But if people were expecting a more 1:1 input-response they might find it off putting.

This first episode is going a tad long. Over staying it's welcome a bit.
Gunplay is great.

if its not a in case code type deal, they usually email it to your account if you used on site to in store. I think all in store purchases do get it printed on the receipt. Don't follow my word for the in store purchases. I only use on site to in store.

just checked bestbuy foru, they say the codes are emailed 24-48 hours after the game is picked up in store

Just fired it up and I am exploring the whole environment and I keep finding plenty of items to read. I love it when developers put extra stuff in the game like this. You know, like those emails between Paul and Jack, it's the small stuff that counts.

Did anybody actually get Alan Wake? I thought all pre-order bonuses got switched out, due to the different PEGI rating between QB and AW. Amazon switched my pre-order bonus to Kameo, which I already have.

Got it. Thx man.

Then I am definitely going to love it, because I am already enjoying it and I am only reading emails and exploring around do to see and read stuff. The action hasn't even started yet.
Loving the clean look of this game, I'm on a 55 incher here and I barely see any aliasing. I could have done without the film grain though.
