Отличные актеры, хоршоие роилки. Неплохой сюжет. Но геймплей не тащит. Если я захочу посмотреть фильм я посмотрю. Но игра стрелять тяжело. Враги слишком жирные. Все мажет. Цвета мне не нравятся. В обще смотреть интересно играть тяжело и скучно. Это не стрелялка это не понятно что

Remedy once again demonstrates they are terrible at boss fight design, sadly.

One hit deaths due to poorly telegraphed AoE attacks, getting stuck on the landscape preventing you from avoiding attacks, and awful checkpoints.

Tying skill upgrade point to missable collectables is a terrible design choice.

The way Remedy has stitched in-game and real-time rendered cutscenes together kind of annoys me because they made the choice to force cutscenes at 30fps and the sudden dip in frame-rate is really jarring. Perhaps it’s to match the FMV sequences, but I would have preferred real-time in-engine cut scenes to match my gameplay frame rate.

I find it mildly amusing that Remedy didn’t bring Aaron Ashmore in to play brother to Shaun’s character Jack, and went with Dominic Monaghan instead. Think of the things Remedy could/would have done with twins, lol.

I really wanted to like this game more. The story is good, the acting, some of the gameplay... but there's just too many problems. The game runs like shit on pc. Feels like a bad port. The combat scenes are cool sometimes, but they're a mess. Several times I didn't even know what was going on or what I was looking at. I liked the tv show idea, but it was way too long and the fact it required streaming really pissed me off. Why couldn't it just come in a file with the game? Several times the video was stopped due to streaming problems. Speaking of way too long, the game just has too much reading material. Every 2 minutes there was a new e-mail or memo for you to stop and read, completelly killing the flow of the game... it doesn't matter if the fate of the world is in the balance, the character just gotta stop and read those e-mails. Seems really out of place and I hated that. Finally the game ends on a massive cliffhanger and since we don't know if there will ever be a sequel, you're just left a an uncomplete story. The game's worth it for its ideas, the acting and characters and part of the story... but everything else prevents it from being better.

Bless eBay, this is only $5 CAD. I almost bought it on Steam for $10, but then checked eBay on a whim. An excuse to feed my Series X a new disc!

Been playing through Remedy's catalogue from Alan Wake onward in anticipation of Alan Wake 2. Never played American Nightmare, Quantum Break, or Control.

Alan Wake is Alan Wake. Loved it in 2010, and boy if I don't still love it in 2023.

American Nightmare definitely feels less interesting than Alan Wake. It explores some more of the nitty gritty of how the "magic" in this share universe works but the actual plot is pretty thin tbh.

Quantum Break I am halfway through, I think, maybe 3/4. It's super rad. The time powers are cool. I forgot Lance Reddick was in this and that makes me kinda sad.

I definitely feel like Microsoft didn't market these games the way they deserve. They feel like Playstation exclusives. Cinematic, 3rd person action games, cool twist in the gameplay. It's all there. But hey, Microsoft fumbling exclusives, nothing new there... God please don't suck Starfield.

I'm currently playing Quantum Break...so if anyone has time, they can watch the gameplay on my youtube and if you like it, maybe subscribe, it would mean a lot to me.

I can't be playing a video game with 30-minute cutscenes, this is supposed to be the year that I finish Twin Peaks.
