I *really* liked the section where you pointed out the difference between the tame live action scenes hindered by budget, and the bombastic in-engine stuff. Showing that train crashing through a building after that shitey wee dunt of a car crash (supposed to be a hard-hitting piece of action) really highlights the disconnect in means available to realise the team's ambition for each section. Amazing video as always man, well done.
I want to hear his thoughts on it. I just played through the whole series recently and I particularly enjoyed 3, 4, and DmC. EDIT: Well.. Per 18:30 I guess we're not going to get something like that. Too toxic a topic apparently.
You always manage to find a way to make these videos flow seamlessly between concepts. You cover a lot of ground in depth in relatively little time, and I still feel like I understand your perspective without requiring any sort of visual checklist. I'm kinda jealous.
I know most people thought Quantum Break was mediocre, but I really loved that game, the division between the show and the game created a great pace to play the game at, and the gameplay itself making you have to be constantly moving made it way more engaging than any other cover shooter I've played To say nothing of the extremely well done sci fi story
Amr Sabbagh you are entitled to your own opinion, and this is what counts how you perceived the game. For me the story was the best part, other things not so good. But I played it twice just to see different choices. Got all collectibles and for me it was good game nothing more and nothing less.
Then u have pretty low standarts. The ganeplay was trash the live cinematic stuff was a cool concept, but it was just good towards the end, before that it was... cringy and semi well acted at best. The only real cool thing was the story and how it remeained tension until the last minute. Ambitious project with a good idea, but bad execution. ... i guess thats because its such a unique and fresh concept. You can tell that the actors (despite being very reknown and talented) needed to warm up with the idea of a video game. I am sure thats why the acring and the story deliverance is so much better towards the end.
I was shocked after playing QB that people gave it such a hard time, I really enjoyed it but will admit that the gameplay was not up to par with something like Max Payne 1/2. As for the deaths in game, I feel like they were all executed great no pun intended, some of them I was like, "OH, Ouch :(" and others were more like, "Oh shit, didn't expect that to happen."
I actually really liked the game. I went in with low expectations and left with something I felt let a mark on me. It's mostly how they did the time traveling aspect of the time. I loved it.
Same! I have heared so much "bad" stuff about the game: and it hd a Metascore of only 66 (on PC). So my expectations were reeeeally low! But I got it in a Humble Bundle and... wow... It was kind of amazing!
Same I played it recently on Gamepass and it’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be does it have flaws yeah but the gameplay was very unique from other Remendy games and the acting for the most part was pretty decent only thing I hated was the files and stuff to read I rather someone talk about in a video than actually reading all those files
I got the game through the Humble Monthly Bundle and tore through it pretty enthusiasticall! Though I'm glad I didn't pay the full RRP for it for the variety of reasons you mentioned (the TV show is just. SO. GODDAMN. BORING). Honestly, it felt like the game might have been better off as some kind of Telltale Game-like narrative experience. That said, I did LOVE the amount of world-building extra information that's just littered everywhere; even as I became acutely aware that I was spending up to twenty minutes at a time wandering around and reading the emails of people who should really have locked their devices c'mon guys this time travel technology stuff is meant to be top secret we need to do better
Okay: I am also sb who enjoys "walking simulators" like firewatch. So I am someone who likes "boring" games :D And this is mabey a reason why I enjoyed it, and you didn't!
Exactly, I love just walking around and exploring the gameworld. I don't even like 3rd person shooters that much, but with the extra abilities it was actually fun... And to be honest it was even challenging at points (you don't want me in your BF1-squad). :D
My logical brain found a lot to hate about this game, but my illogical brain loved it anyway. It's one of my favorite recent games, but I can't justify it at all. Oh well, a girl's got to have contradictions!
Sleeping Dogs and Dragon Age II are those games for me. Part of me does nothing but criticize the hell out of them, yet I've beaten them twice and enjoyed them.
That was Nier Automata in a nutshell for me. So much of that game is flawed and just barely works, but when it works, it worked better for me than most AAA shit I've played recently.
At the end of the day Dragon Age II's worst aspect was that 4chan dunked on it. Meaning that no matter what, playing it after the fact is a pleasant surprise. And I think it's a worthwhile game in its own right, with its legitimate flaws pretty severe, but by no means dealbreaking.
I think that's me with Arma. The series is so poorly optimised, has such poor scripting that breaks all the time, has systems potentially too complex for their own good, but the damn thing just grabbed me and has never let go, for reasons I can never quite figure out.
That's exactly the thing with Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. I know for a fact they aren't as good games as Fallout: New Vegas, certainly not as good rpgs as it, but there's just something about the worlds they create and the places they make you want to explore that makes is just so much more illogically appealing to me no matter now buggy or simple the games are in comparison, despite the fact I love New Vegas too.
I felt the exact same way you did after I finished playing Quantum Break, just completely unsure of how to feel. But after a few months, I came to understand that it's an ambitious, solid core completely suffocated by modern design ideas and philosophies. I'm surprised you really didn't breakdown the actual gameplay more here, your coverage in this one is a little scattershot. Was hoping to hear more about how there's just no hipfire at all, the general lack of enemy variety, or how the powers have little to no synergy, with their effect on the environments being incredibly limited and binary. At least, that was my takeaway from my experience. Otherwise, an excellent video. You're right about how Time Travel is one of the few things this game handles exceptionally well, Closed loop theory was a brilliant choice.
I really liked all the story that you learn about the world and the plot through the collectibles and stuff in the environment. I especially liked the whiteboards of the villains plans near the end where the resolution of the textures was so great that you can read every single little detail and post it note. Those white boards alone were a major factor of why I liked the game so much. There is just so much story to discover if you take the time to look around which is not only extremely in depth but also makes it feel very organic. IDK maybe thats just me.
People hate it because it went against the original character and set him up as a replacement when he's not as enjoyable or interesting. Their arguments tend to also completely ignore how good the combat system is and how unique the level design is which is yknow some of the most important parts of a game. Also as mentioned the soundtrack was like really good.
13Hyrule mostly because in an action game about style, the rebooted Dante is not what they want to play as. I was very disappointed when they didn't keep the original smoking junkie dante when they revealed the game, that dante seemed to be more interesting, although given how bad the writing was and the general execution of the cast as a whole, I wonder could it changed anything
Something about these videos you make is always emotional in a way that’s difficult to describe. Your passion for the games is intoxicating, yet somber and serious. And it still makes me excited to eventually experience the game for myself, even though I have no intention of purchasing most of them because finances. It always brings joy to see an upload from you, even though I never really click away with a smile, instead a with a contemplative blank look that tells of how I’m processing what you said and presented. Congratulations on making me this addicted to that emotional conflict
What an underrated adventure. Guiding Iceman to avenge his Hobbit brother while siding with Sylus to take down Little Finger was quite the enjoyable foray.
You joke, but even though Control is a better game, I still really enjoyed this one. I hope MS and Remedy do another (and Shawn Ashmore has made it very clear he wants to return to it, too).
@@LicoriceLain I was serious. That’s who I saw in my play through which made it all more enjoyable. Now that Lance Reddick has passed on, I lament the absence of a sequel to QB and a big hole he will leave in the next Horizon game.
As a sucker for good time travel stories, i really enjoyed Quantum Break. The problem with QB is that it is a product of the Xbox One TV Integration that was later scrapped. The TV Show portion was mediocre and probably would have better off being separate from the game or scrapped entirely...
CasualGamePlayz omg yes it added nothing! Much better off as a bonus content thing that's optional to watch not during the game! It actually broke my immersion instead of increasing
I enjoyed the time I spent on this game. I played it on hard, read and collected everything, did all the junctions and unlocked all the achievements. As you said, the story is REALLY good and I also loved the Sci-fi concepts. And I recommend to anyone that if you want to really understand everything, know the characters backgrounds and discover nice easter eggs that you just have patience and don't rush the game. But I must agree that the way the story is told and presented is not the best... And yes, the gameplay and mechanics also needed more depth and development time. I'm pretty sure that if MS didn't demand Remedy to make an "interactive game connected with a live action series" and let the guys do what they do best, it would've been a better GAME at the end... Because of that, when I think about it, I do know it's not a bad game, for I had nice times playing it. But I feel like it was just an one time only event. And I'll probably never play it again. Which is sad. Nice video btw, dude. Keep up the great work! :)
I'm still amazed that DMC is written and directed by the same guy who wrote and directed Hellblade... Excellent video, Raycevick. I just watched all of your videos, and I'm looking forward to more.
If you enjoy time travel stories or the idea of time travel. I highly recommend Steins;Gate.(Warning: is an anime). I played/read the visual novel and my mind was blown. I hear the anime is fantastic too.
I adore Quantum Break, and you accurately identified all pros and cons. The timetravel plot is really outstanding, and the live action episodes made the virtual characters seem that more real - because they were! (In a weird reverse uncanny valley effect) - I only wished there was more combat to play with your time powers. The full combat loop with all effects firing on all cylinders is truly a sight to behold. Maybe they should have added a trial mode with combat arenas.
i would love to see a video on "Shadows of the Damned". I still can't figure out what went wrong, and someone like Raycevick would probably find it out. Keep up the good work !
I made the mistake to play this game after finishing Control, and boy if its gameplay is ROUGH, weapons feels like pea shoter, little enemy variety, the costant tease of polymorph and never even seeing one in game, no hipfire, sluggish movements and ability casting. Story wise is fine, cool take on time travel, Beth is easily the highest point of the narrative, her personality and development just squash the others, while Jack, Paul and Derrick (I dont even remember the character name) in the end felt just by the number cliché. I mean if you find this on sale or on Game pass its very well worth your time to play, just it feels like it doesn't have that standout point were it excels, wether is gameplay, story or style even. An interesting experiment that deserves the lukewarm reception
Yeah, and I generally liked the combat. I just wished you fought more enemies that were on the same level as you. There was huge missed potential towards the end with regards to... (avoiding spoilers) some things that were related to Lance Reddick's character that could have been a serious threat to you.
This game had the potential to be top notch, that's what went thru my head when the credits rolled. But I still enjoyed it, it was a unique experience.
I don't think I ever nodded in agreement this much while watching these kinds of videos, you are completely right, even about black mirror in the end, my thoughts exactly.
I just realized that this is one of the few single player games released in the past few years. It's a damn shame we're headed down an online-only future.
Don't see problem here good singleplayer games still enough especially if to look at indi not only aaa earlier me too looked only at aaa games but now I so much wait Witchfire and Hollow Knight Silksong
I actually liked how easy liam was to defeat, he was weak, acting out of impulsive rage/emotion, and Jack was stronger than anyone could fathom, inlcuding paul.
I guess I enjoyed Quantum Break more than you did. I have Alan Wake as an 8 of 10 game. While I feel Quantum Break is a 7.5 out of 10. Personally I think Max Payne 2 is Remedy’s best game. Unfortunately with Remedy’s relations with MS soured and the studios own slow output, I don’t think Alan Wake or Quantum Break will see sequels.
Yeah, unfortunately Alan Wake and Quantum Break only became cult hits as i really like those games, i would be more generous and give Alan Wake 9.5 and QB 8.5, but that being said i am a big film buff and dont mind the gameplay being mediocre so much. So its really unfortunate that these game probably wont get sequels, but the good thing is that Remedy is making something new again called P7 and singleplayer for CrossFire 2, as i am a bit afraid of Remedy going down because of the poor sales of their games.
MrReyno Tanks They are focusing on other projects with another publisher. I hope this gives them much more free reign than it ever did when they were working Microsoft. The studio is nothing but talent and have pushed gaming to both its story telling and mechanical limits .
Remedy has typically made single player games of short length (6-10 hrs). Single players games seem to have increasingly hit and miss sales. For every Horizon Zero Dawn sales success we get several AAA single player titles that under perform or straight up flop , e.g. Prey (2017), Evil Within 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. Remedy makes games that are subjectively of quality, however, their titles don't have mass appeal. I wish the studio the best of luck on their next projects. However, as they are no longer paired with a big publisher, I don't expect P7 to have comparable production quality to Alan Wake and Quantum Break.
There's a line in Alan Wake 2 where one of the characters says "The more cooks, the worse the soup". I see this as I direct reference to Quantum Break.
Every single one of your videos is so insanely high quality that it boggles my mind as to how consistent it is. I don't know how you do it but I know I love it, keep up the great work.
I thought it was a game with solid core mechanics and a great potential story, but the way it was executed was just so.... boring. it felt so washed out and uninspiring by the time the ending rolled around I just didn't care anymore. Great work as always though man!
This game was able to draw me deep within its world and made me think about about its story and characters even when I was not playing it. I began to play it again right after I finished it in order to get more out of this world, including the stuff in the alternate story branches and what I missed on my first play-through. That's rare these days. The darker story path was just brutal and uncompromising when it comes to that. One of the best and most lovingly-crafted games of its generation, for sure. Trendy critics like this guy will bash it because it's an Xbox One exclusive, demands that you to think about more than basic puzzle-solving and doesn't limit itself to the currently-hip single player game design tropes.
I loved how you went through the game's development in this video, E3 and Gamescom demos are so rarely talked about it was really insightful to see your opinion on them.
My favorite time travel stories are ones that don't even try to elaborate on paradoxes or whatnot, and rather just say "Fuck it, it's time travel and this is a movie/game/book, so who cares" For a quick example of what I'm talking about, watch "Eddsworld: WTFuture"
I started this last week. In a world where I'm absolutely sick of open world games, this is so refreshing to me. The amazing graphics and mechanics are fantastic
As a DMC fan that knows that DMC5 is coming out, DmC (by ninja theory) was pretty good. If it was the last DmC game ever made id have a different opinion on it though.
Considering that that was a very real possibility for the longest time...yeah people were eager to pick up pitchforks(admittedly NT´s attitude towards the fanbase,Capcom´s shenanigans and the still painful scars from the unfinished DMC4 didnt exactly help).
This was one of those games where it had 1 interesting mechanic and literally nothing else interesting (In my opinion) but unlike games like Shadow of Mordor where the nemisis system was fun to dick around with at times but it got quite mundane quite quickly, I didn't find that with Quantum Break, the time distortion was interesting enough that it compelled me to play it through to the end. Just my 2 cents :)
A really enjoyed Quantum Break, the combat wasn't as hectic and the rest was calming but still interesting. I can say I loved it. I also didn't fight the guy from the series. I didn't even know you could do that.
This game is so fun .. had it when I had my XBOX ONE -then Xbox one s.. then I jumped over to the PS4 PRO.. then PS5.. ended up scoring an XBOX SERIES X and opened up my old Xbox account to play this against “which I never finished “.. after playing CONTROL.. Series X won me over with Playing all my old favs .. including THIS game .. ALAN WAKE .. and CONTROL :) anywhooo.. I HAVE A MASSIVE NERD CRUSH ON REMEDY games ! Love their games
On its own, DmC Devil May Cry is a decent game. But when compared to its past predecessors of the original series, especially to Devil May Cry 3 and 4, or even the first game, it pales in comparison and might in fact be one of the weakest entries (DmC is however slightly better than DMC2). Also, great vid as always Ray.
Aaah can't wait to watch this! I loved Remedy's old output and played QR last year but don't know anyone else who did. Looking forward to what you have to say...
If they would bring out a new Resistance game or a real Killzone 4, i would instant buy the Playstation 4. I will stick until then with Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4 and Halo 5 on my Xbox One
Excelent pacing and editing on this video. I haven't really touched video games since 2014ish, but have been following then through essayists like you. If I recall, Alan Wake had similar issues of being amazingly deep story wise and genuinely scary at times, but with an ending that felt rushed and flat. The gameplay ended up devolving into fairly repetitive segments of cheesing the light and revolver combo, breaking into shooting gallery setpieces. Having never played Max Paine or its sequels, maybe I'll give that a shot. Thanks again for a great video, Raycevick.
DMC was the only game in the genre that I actually really enjoyed so while it might not cater to fans of the original ones can't it be a good game anyways?
You've just reminded me that I really need to give Quantum Break a chance. Naturally all previous input from Remedy has been completed, culminating with Alan Wake's American Nightmare in 2016 for me.
I don't care what people say: I really like DmC because the art direction was really interesting. The worlds becoming disjointed and all that. Really cool.
Extraction point is just pure fun. I know alot of people didn't like Perseus mandate, but in all honesty I enjoyed it alot more than I did Fear 2 or 3. I hated both of them.
Only thing I will say about DmC is that the music really got me to buy it for ten bucks, pretty fun game to just play, I liked it, especially the over the top edginess. But checking the 2nd one of the original series I can really see why it's hated haha, awesome video man!
The story felt like you where thrown into the 8th chapter of a 5000 page book. It was just so confusing and disorientating, which works for a time travel plot i guess, but the gameplay just wasn't good enough to make me want to figure out the story
MovieNerd_EP It explains its time mechanics pretty clearly in the first level. The trick is to understand where the loops happen and what caused what. If you weren't paying attention because of the meh gameplay then I guess that's understandable.
Quantum Break is a game that really deserves to be explored again after going through some serious refinement. Dropping the filmed shows will sever the disconnect that exists because the show exists, and at least start leading the narration to stay entirely within the much more creative medium within the game engine. I feel like there's sort of a Mass Effect syndrome here, where there's a lot to enjoy about the setting, characters, and theme but the story falls a bit short. Unlike Mass Effect, however, Quantum Break can't hold itself up entirely on these things. Given another chance, and with a bit more focus on story, tone and delivery, the IP has a solid chance to really set itself apart.
sparkie1j he's not lazy at all if he made all his videos hour long videos we would get like 1 video like every few months plus making the videos long for the sake of it being long doesn't make it better and his videos have a lot of production if you wanna see lazy go watch ign
pfft no, if he got off his lazy fucking ass and made content then itd be totally doable to release hour long videos. hes just such a piece of shit that does care about what the people want.
sparkie1j dude im pretty sure he doesn't do RUclips full time and if he does then you got a point but if he doesn't then that's different because that would mean he has a job and his own life to worry about and he has to research and edit all his videos on his own which takes time, that is not lazy in my book BUT if he does do RUclips full time then it's a different story all together
"I've finally uploaded a video" jk, am glad you still make those and know how hard it is to make content like your's. Keep up the good and enjoyable work you do!
DMC had memorable music tracks? Interesting, I can remember a bunch of tracks from the originals but not a single track from DMC, and I have played that awful excuse of a game twice through. Damn, I still remember devils never cry from devil may cry 3 -laughs-, finishing that game on the original PC port and on a keyboard no less... What I used to put up with.
lostsanityreturned It did , the club theme , mundus baby boss battle , a majority of the combat themes and even the opening track. The OST is what people praised most about the game anyways
I believe that people gravitate to the club music (and by extension the boss battle in the club) mostly because of how well they linked the visuals to the music, rather than the bgm being anything particularly standout.
@@denzelromero4796 the club theme is named Lilths Club from Noisia *Noisia are pretty great btw* And the mundus spawn theme is Wtf is wrong with you people from Combichrist *One of their best song's in my opinion* The reason ik this is because I listen to them on my free time This isn't important but I recommend anyone who finds this comment check out Noisia or Combichrist they are both great
I don't think you'll ever see this, but I have legit been subscribed to this channel since like the Halo 2 video and I have always enjoyed your voice and it has always sounded familiar but i could never think why. You sound like the English voice actor for Spike from Cowboy Bepop. I needed to get this out there
Living Jojo Reference you mean the older devil may cry games? Yeah right like they are representative of good taste with cringy dialog and over exagerated reality bending physics. The only people that hate DmC are hardcore fans of the original series that cant stand to have something new come up now and then. Things worked out in your favor tho as even with DmC having universal critical acclaim the franchise will continue with Devil May Cry 5.
TheMrRares DmC is for people who don't play crazy over the top fun action games. DMC3s story is frankly underappreciated, its a simple fun story. DmCs is just retarded
"Yeah right like they are representative of good taste with cringy dialog and over exagerated reality bending physics." And DmC Annonymous combined with the Futurama Slurm episode isnt? lol Succubus -Fuck you, Dante! Dante: -Fuck you!
i never could watched fully any of of his vdos. But holly shit his videos make me sleep faster. voice of a lullaby god! my insomnia has been cure!! thanks mate!
It's games like this that make me feel bad for those who stuck with Xbox One. Aside from indies, gears of war, and the halo games, there hasn't been an Xbox exclusive that made the system just as appealing as PC or even PS4. At least PS4 has Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, N-sane Trilogy, all Kingdom Hearts games, and so on. I suppose, in that respect, Xbox has the same amount as Xbox, but some of those Xbox games are on PC too. But Xbox does have that backwards compatibility aspect too, so I don't know
Yep, Crackdown 3 is supposed to be in the same boat. Honestly if not for Persona 5 and the master chief collection I would consider both consoles little more than paperweights.
I find the AIs flank you a lot in both sides,precisely throwing grenades and force you to leave a cover, still better intelligence compared to many other games. Also the combat is very refreshing if you know to combine the skills they give effectively, I never stick to one skill and try to use every of them one after another until all of them need a recharge (skills and power are successful implemented since none of them is useless). It gives the badass feeling to the player.
I'd rly like another Heavenly Sword. Thing is, Ninja Theory don't own rights to any of those 3 games, and each sold below their publisher's expectations.
A great video and while Quantum Break is still one of my favorite third person xbox exclusive( for it's story, not the storytelling) I do agree with almost all of your points. It's a messy, great game. I would love to see you dive into Control, I think it's the ultimate Remedy experience and with all expansions being out you can talk about it all in one video.
Well said, I appreciate this criticism. I also liked the presentation, but it fell short in so many ways that I although I wanted to see more tie-ins in a rerun and making a few different decisions, but I just don't really want to play the game again
My friends will hear of this

DexterousCobra i liked the game but i wish they would have allowed us to skip the cutscenes after having done the level once already.
To be fair the tracks and the way it uses it's music is the most positive thing in that game.
Soundtrack,Gameplay,Visuals,level design were Fantastic. Dante was cool, alright story, didn't like Vergil tho and Kat was A Kyrie 2.0.

Flauxhol Absolutely, not a fan of walking simulators tbh Each to their own, it's all good.
Exactly, I love just walking around and exploring the gameworld. I don't even like 3rd person shooters that much, but with the extra abilities it was actually fun... And to be honest it was even challenging at points (you don't want me in your BF1-squad). :D
Quantum Break?
More like...
QUANTUM SHAKE!!!
I am sorry. This was a great video!
The Act Man first
Oh hey... Its the Acting Male
Can you do a video on this game please
Act man if you ever review Quantum Break you must review Alan Wake
Ah yes, the cringe man
I loved it. Beth made the game for me, the loop in time that made her is just gorgeously tragic.
My logical brain found a lot to hate about this game, but my illogical brain loved it anyway. It's one of my favorite recent games, but I can't justify it at all.
Oh well, a girl's got to have contradictions!
Sleeping Dogs and Dragon Age II are those games for me. Part of me does nothing but criticize the hell out of them, yet I've beaten them twice and enjoyed them.
That was Nier Automata in a nutshell for me. So much of that game is flawed and just barely works, but when it works, it worked better for me than most AAA shit I've played recently.
At the end of the day Dragon Age II's worst aspect was that 4chan dunked on it. Meaning that no matter what, playing it after the fact is a pleasant surprise. And I think it's a worthwhile game in its own right, with its legitimate flaws pretty severe, but by no means dealbreaking.
I think that's me with Arma. The series is so poorly optimised, has such poor scripting that breaks all the time, has systems potentially too complex for their own good, but the damn thing just grabbed me and has never let go, for reasons I can never quite figure out.
That's exactly the thing with Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. I know for a fact they aren't as good games as Fallout: New Vegas, certainly not as good rpgs as it, but there's just something about the worlds they create and the places they make you want to explore that makes is just so much more illogically appealing to me no matter now buggy or simple the games are in comparison, despite the fact I love New Vegas too.
He said Dragon Age: Inquisition was the best from 2014
PREPARE FOR BULLYING
God damn 2014 sucked.
My jaw legit dropped when he said Dragon Age Inquisition...
Seriously? Was that a joke? XD
Alien Isolation is the best game of that year.
I felt the exact same way you did after I finished playing Quantum Break, just completely unsure of how to feel. But after a few months, I came to understand that it's an ambitious, solid core completely suffocated by modern design ideas and philosophies. I'm surprised you really didn't breakdown the actual gameplay more here, your coverage in this one is a little scattershot. Was hoping to hear more about how there's just no hipfire at all, the general lack of enemy variety, or how the powers have little to no synergy, with their effect on the environments being incredibly limited and binary. At least, that was my takeaway from my experience. Otherwise, an excellent video. You're right about how Time Travel is one of the few things this game handles exceptionally well, Closed loop theory was a brilliant choice.
GunPuncher Id say it does telling a time travel story better than most other mediums try to. And I think that's because it's a video game .
I really liked all the story that you learn about the world and the plot through the collectibles and stuff in the environment. I especially liked the whiteboards of the villains plans near the end where the resolution of the textures was so great that you can read every single little detail and post it note. Those white boards alone were a major factor of why I liked the game so much. There is just so much story to discover if you take the time to look around which is not only extremely in depth but also makes it feel very organic. IDK maybe thats just me.
Well, music in DMC was pretty good for the most part.
*canceled*
Great video Raycevick! But you did praise DMC, so I guess that's invalidated any praise I had. Also I hate you now.
Lord Penney boi
What’s so bad about DMC?
People hate it because it went against the original character and set him up as a replacement when he's not as enjoyable or interesting. Their arguments tend to also completely ignore how good the combat system is and how unique the level design is which is yknow some of the most important parts of a game. Also as mentioned the soundtrack was like really good.
13Hyrule mostly because in an action game about style, the rebooted Dante is not what they want to play as. I was very disappointed when they didn't keep the original smoking junkie dante when they revealed the game, that dante seemed to be more interesting, although given how bad the writing was and the general execution of the cast as a whole, I wonder could it changed anything
I liked DMCs combat and punk rock style, even if other parts of the game e.g story wernt great
Something about these videos you make is always emotional in a way that’s difficult to describe. Your passion for the games is intoxicating, yet somber and serious. And it still makes me excited to eventually experience the game for myself, even though I have no intention of purchasing most of them because finances. It always brings joy to see an upload from you, even though I never really click away with a smile, instead a with a contemplative blank look that tells of how I’m processing what you said and presented.
Congratulations on making me this addicted to that emotional conflict
What an underrated adventure. Guiding Iceman to avenge his Hobbit brother while siding with Sylus to take down Little Finger was quite the enjoyable foray.
You joke, but even though Control is a better game, I still really enjoyed this one. I hope MS and Remedy do another (and Shawn Ashmore has made it very clear he wants to return to it, too).
@@LicoriceLain
I was serious. That’s who I saw in my play through which made it all more enjoyable. Now that Lance Reddick has passed on, I lament the absence of a sequel to QB and a big hole he will leave in the next Horizon game.
As a sucker for good time travel stories, i really enjoyed Quantum Break. The problem with QB is that it is a product of the Xbox One TV Integration that was later scrapped. The TV Show portion was mediocre and probably would have better off being separate from the game or scrapped entirely...
CasualGamePlayz omg yes it added nothing! Much better off as a bonus content thing that's optional to watch not during the game! It actually broke my immersion instead of increasing
@@GamingBuzz1 you know you can play it without the tv show don't you?
first time I've got to a video this early, better than any birthday present thank you Raycevick
I enjoyed the time I spent on this game. I played it on hard, read and collected everything, did all the junctions and unlocked all the achievements. As you said, the story is REALLY good and I also loved the Sci-fi concepts. And I recommend to anyone that if you want to really understand everything, know the characters backgrounds and discover nice easter eggs that you just have patience and don't rush the game. But I must agree that the way the story is told and presented is not the best... And yes, the gameplay and mechanics also needed more depth and development time. I'm pretty sure that if MS didn't demand Remedy to make an "interactive game connected with a live action series" and let the guys do what they do best, it would've been a better GAME at the end... Because of that, when I think about it, I do know it's not a bad game, for I had nice times playing it. But I feel like it was just an one time only event. And I'll probably never play it again. Which is sad.
Nice video btw, dude. Keep up the great work! :)
I'm still amazed that DMC is written and directed by the same guy who wrote and directed Hellblade...
Excellent video, Raycevick. I just watched all of your videos, and I'm looking forward to more.
Julian Smith Probably because they learned from DmC a lot and didn't have publisher on their ass
It helps that they did a lot of research for Hellblade.
Loved that game. It is very rare today that i Play a game to the end. Especially in one streak.
Raycevik knows Mandalore. This pleases me greatly.
Hi Raycevick! I love your videos!
If you enjoy time travel stories or the idea of time travel. I highly recommend Steins;Gate.(Warning: is an anime). I played/read the visual novel and my mind was blown. I hear the anime is fantastic too.
Too bad it's just lots of talking and a lot less showing
Uhh, you mean the anime or the VN?
Only thing I remember about this game was how quickly it was forgotten
I always confuse it with Detroit Become Human
I think only Baneposters remember this game
I adore Quantum Break, and you accurately identified all pros and cons. The timetravel plot is really outstanding, and the live action episodes made the virtual characters seem that more real - because they were! (In a weird reverse uncanny valley effect) - I only wished there was more combat to play with your time powers. The full combat loop with all effects firing on all cylinders is truly a sight to behold. Maybe they should have added a trial mode with combat arenas.
I agree. Some kind of end game combat arena would be great. The combat was really fun once you got the main powers
Every time I watched a cutscene or the little episodes, I was always seeing how many people were using Windows Nokia phone.
EVERYONE WAS USING IT!!!
i would love to see a video on "Shadows of the Damned". I still can't figure out what went wrong, and someone like Raycevick would probably find it out.
Keep up the good work !
I made the mistake to play this game after finishing Control, and boy if its gameplay is ROUGH, weapons feels like pea shoter, little enemy variety, the costant tease of polymorph and never even seeing one in game, no hipfire, sluggish movements and ability casting. Story wise is fine, cool take on time travel, Beth is easily the highest point of the narrative, her personality and development just squash the others, while Jack, Paul and Derrick (I dont even remember the character name) in the end felt just by the number cliché.
I mean if you find this on sale or on Game pass its very well worth your time to play, just it feels like it doesn't have that standout point were it excels, wether is gameplay, story or style even. An interesting experiment that deserves the lukewarm reception
I agree with your summary 100%. Quantum Break was an interesting experiment that tried to do some cool things, but maybe didn't always hit the mark.
Baysideplace 919 Agreed , I think even people who hated it can at least agree it was experimental and should be learned from
Yeah, and I generally liked the combat. I just wished you fought more enemies that were on the same level as you. There was huge missed potential towards the end with regards to... (avoiding spoilers) some things that were related to Lance Reddick's character that could have been a serious threat to you.
The game is a solid 8.0 out of 10.
This game had the potential to be top notch, that's what went thru my head when the credits rolled. But I still enjoyed it, it was a unique experience.
Quantum Break was a case of an amazing premise being implemented in a dull way. It really should've been much better than it was.
I don't think I ever nodded in agreement this much while watching these kinds of videos, you are completely right, even about black mirror in the end, my thoughts exactly.
I just realized that this is one of the few single player games released in the past few years. It's a damn shame we're headed down an online-only future.
Cyberleaf LOL WTF YOU MEAN
Don't see problem here good singleplayer games still enough especially if to look at indi not only aaa earlier me too looked only at aaa games but now I so much wait Witchfire and Hollow Knight Silksong
Online only. Hiring, never owning games is my biggest fear. People defending it is my second biggest fear. (That will happen)
@@807D14M0ND5 yeah sure it will.
@@RedYellowBird6889 ? There's people defending micro transactions. There will be people defending only hiring of games.
I actually liked how easy liam was to defeat, he was weak, acting out of impulsive rage/emotion, and Jack was stronger than anyone could fathom, inlcuding paul.
I guess I enjoyed Quantum Break more than you did. I have Alan Wake as an 8 of 10 game. While I feel Quantum Break is a 7.5 out of 10. Personally I think Max Payne 2 is Remedy’s best game. Unfortunately with Remedy’s relations with MS soured and the studios own slow output, I don’t think Alan Wake or Quantum Break will see sequels.
Yeah, unfortunately Alan Wake and Quantum Break only became cult hits as i really like those games, i would be more generous and give Alan Wake 9.5 and QB 8.5, but that being said i am a big film buff and dont mind the gameplay being mediocre so much. So its really unfortunate that these game probably wont get sequels, but the good thing is that Remedy is making something new again called P7 and singleplayer for CrossFire 2, as i am a bit afraid of Remedy going down because of the poor sales of their games.
MrReyno Tanks They are focusing on other projects with another publisher. I hope this gives them much more free reign than it ever did when they were working Microsoft. The studio is nothing but talent and have pushed gaming to both its story telling and mechanical limits .
Remedy has typically made single player games of short length (6-10 hrs). Single players games seem to have increasingly hit and miss sales. For every Horizon Zero Dawn sales success we get several AAA single player titles that under perform or straight up flop , e.g. Prey (2017), Evil Within 2, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. Remedy makes games that are subjectively of quality, however, their titles don't have mass appeal. I wish the studio the best of luck on their next projects. However, as they are no longer paired with a big publisher, I don't expect P7 to have comparable production quality to Alan Wake and Quantum Break.
MrReyno Tanks I don't think P7 is gonna be graphical impressive but I think the gameplay will be a larger focus. And I'm hyped for that
Righteous, Max Payne 2's my favorite of theirs.
There's a line in Alan Wake 2 where one of the characters says "The more cooks, the worse the soup". I see this as I direct reference to Quantum Break.
Despite its problems, I really do like this game
my heart lights up when I see a raycevick video, mmm
The two instances of fake hate comments were more compelling and attention grabbing than all of Quantum Break
Every single one of your videos is so insanely high quality that it boggles my mind as to how consistent it is. I don't know how you do it but I know I love it, keep up the great work.
I thought it was a game with solid core mechanics and a great potential story, but the way it was executed was just so.... boring. it felt so washed out and uninspiring by the time the ending rolled around I just didn't care anymore. Great work as always though man!
This game was able to draw me deep within its world and made me think about about its story and characters even when I was not playing it. I began to play it again right after I finished it in order to get more out of this world, including the stuff in the alternate story branches and what I missed on my first play-through. That's rare these days. The darker story path was just brutal and uncompromising when it comes to that. One of the best and most lovingly-crafted games of its generation, for sure. Trendy critics like this guy will bash it because it's an Xbox One exclusive, demands that you to think about more than basic puzzle-solving and doesn't limit itself to the currently-hip single player game design tropes.
How about a video for Deus Ex?
Mihail Golubovic You say that yet the last halo video was 10 months ago
I second this, would love to see a analysis video on the original game!
I kept asking him to do one about the first Deus Ex game
You should take a look at Ross' Game Dungeon's take on the original, his reviews are fantastic!
I loved how you went through the game's development in this video, E3 and Gamescom demos are so rarely talked about it was really insightful to see your opinion on them.
My favorite time travel stories are ones that don't even try to elaborate on paradoxes or whatnot, and rather just say "Fuck it, it's time travel and this is a movie/game/book, so who cares"
For a quick example of what I'm talking about, watch "Eddsworld: WTFuture"
I started this last week.
In a world where I'm absolutely sick of open world games, this is so refreshing to me. The amazing graphics and mechanics are fantastic
Dragon Age, Years Later!!!
As a DMC fan that knows that DMC5 is coming out, DmC (by ninja theory) was pretty good. If it was the last DmC game ever made id have a different opinion on it though.
Considering that that was a very real possibility for the longest time...yeah people were eager to pick up pitchforks(admittedly NT´s attitude towards the fanbase,Capcom´s shenanigans and the still painful scars from the unfinished DMC4 didnt exactly help).
Honestly i really love this game.
It's honestly really cool how you and Act Man are pals.
i saw your profile picture and thought you were rags for a second. Now I'm disappointed... I wanted it to all come full circle
This was one of those games where it had 1 interesting mechanic and literally nothing else interesting (In my opinion) but unlike games like Shadow of Mordor where the nemisis system was fun to dick around with at times but it got quite mundane quite quickly, I didn't find that with Quantum Break, the time distortion was interesting enough that it compelled me to play it through to the end.
Just my 2 cents :)
You liking Inquisition makes me glad, cause now I know that eventually you'll review the series.
Conclusion: They should have made Alan Wake 2
Can't believe I didn't find this channel sooner, these videos are awesome.
Raycevick Can you do a video on hitman absolution or just the hitman series in general? That'd be really interesting, keep up the good work Ray
badabing
A really enjoyed Quantum Break, the combat wasn't as hectic and the rest was calming but still interesting. I can say I loved it.
I also didn't fight the guy from the series. I didn't even know you could do that.
Your videos are top quality and deserve more views. Would you ever consider doing a ...Years Later series on the Bioshock games?
This game is so fun .. had it when I had my XBOX ONE -then Xbox one s.. then I jumped over to the PS4 PRO.. then PS5.. ended up scoring an XBOX SERIES X and opened up my old Xbox account to play this against “which I never finished “.. after playing CONTROL.. Series X won me over with Playing all my old favs .. including THIS game .. ALAN WAKE .. and CONTROL :) anywhooo.. I HAVE A MASSIVE NERD CRUSH ON REMEDY games ! Love their games
Loved the game! I wished I had more games. Like. This to play
I really like this game, I don’t think it’s perfect by any means, but I do think it’s severely underrated
On its own, DmC Devil May Cry is a decent game. But when compared to its past predecessors of the original series, especially to Devil May Cry 3 and 4, or even the first game, it pales in comparison and might in fact be one of the weakest entries (DmC is however slightly better than DMC2). Also, great vid as always Ray.
Aaah can't wait to watch this! I loved Remedy's old output and played QR last year but don't know anyone else who did. Looking forward to what you have to say...
I still remember in the console wars, were Xbots were telling the Sony ponies that this was gonna the, The Last of Us killer...
mylifeintheknifetrade irony how 343 is the real halo killer :(
Don't remember anyone ever saying that, but sure.
If they would bring out a new Resistance game or a real Killzone 4, i would instant buy the Playstation 4. I will stick until then with Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4 and Halo 5 on my Xbox One
Nobody ever said it was gonna kill TLOU, but Ponies did in fact say Killzone was gonna kill Halo
mylifeintheknifetrade Halo 5 didn't suck, the campaign was just bad and the microtransactions sucked balls, but the game itself kicked ass
Excelent pacing and editing on this video.
I haven't really touched video games since 2014ish, but have been following then through essayists like you. If I recall, Alan Wake had similar issues of being amazingly deep story wise and genuinely scary at times, but with an ending that felt rushed and flat. The gameplay ended up devolving into fairly repetitive segments of cheesing the light and revolver combo, breaking into shooting gallery setpieces.
Having never played Max Paine or its sequels, maybe I'll give that a shot.
Thanks again for a great video, Raycevick.
DMC was the only game in the genre that I actually really enjoyed so while it might not cater to fans of the original ones can't it be a good game anyways?
You've just reminded me that I really need to give Quantum Break a chance.
Naturally all previous input from Remedy has been completed, culminating with Alan Wake's American Nightmare in 2016 for me.
I loved the DMC reboot. Go ahead. Crucify me.
*thumb up*
I thought it was better than the previous DMC games. And I loved them, but they never broke out of their comfort zone.
Arthur Wild ew
What comfort zone exactly?
I played through it in autopilot mode. It was boring as fuck
Arthur Wild If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Clearly, that's what works.
I don't care what people say: I really like DmC because the art direction was really interesting. The worlds becoming disjointed and all that. Really cool.
You should Try out the FEAR series. Its freaking great... Well okay the first one is.
And the first expansion is even better IMO.
Extraction point is just pure fun. I know alot of people didn't like Perseus mandate, but in all honesty I enjoyed it alot more than I did Fear 2 or 3. I hated both of them.
Perseus Mandate is pure bleh though :D.
He has
Only thing I will say about DmC is that the music really got me to buy it for ten bucks, pretty fun game to just play, I liked it, especially the over the top edginess. But checking the 2nd one of the original series I can really see why it's hated haha, awesome video man!
I liked the game but yeah the writing was dissapointing. Huge step back from Alan Wake but a good game on its own imo
leonthesleepy it was a pile of garbage
how can you people like it?
My Hentai Girl because opinions
Just like how you like fallout, while I’m my opinion is pretty boring. Not trolling btw, I just can’t get into it.
The writing? What? I'm honestly not sure what's better, the story or visuals.
The writing was great imo
WELCOME BACK
it's so good that you've returned
The story felt like you where thrown into the 8th chapter of a 5000 page book. It was just so confusing and disorientating, which works for a time travel plot i guess, but the gameplay just wasn't good enough to make me want to figure out the story
MovieNerd_EP It explains its time mechanics pretty clearly in the first level. The trick is to understand where the loops happen and what caused what. If you weren't paying attention because of the meh gameplay then I guess that's understandable.
Quantum Break is a game that really deserves to be explored again after going through some serious refinement. Dropping the filmed shows will sever the disconnect that exists because the show exists, and at least start leading the narration to stay entirely within the much more creative medium within the game engine. I feel like there's sort of a Mass Effect syndrome here, where there's a lot to enjoy about the setting, characters, and theme but the story falls a bit short. Unlike Mass Effect, however, Quantum Break can't hold itself up entirely on these things. Given another chance, and with a bit more focus on story, tone and delivery, the IP has a solid chance to really set itself apart.
Only 20 minutes?? You are slipping man. I miss the old raycevick who made hour long deconstructions. For shame raycevick
The only hour long videos from him are his years later videos most of the videos on his channel are around 20 mins
thats the problem, his videos are too short and too shit. He is a lazy content creator.
sparkie1j he's not lazy at all if he made all his videos hour long videos we would get like 1 video like every few months plus making the videos long for the sake of it being long doesn't make it better and his videos have a lot of production if you wanna see lazy go watch ign
pfft no, if he got off his lazy fucking ass and made content then itd be totally doable to release hour long videos. hes just such a piece of shit that does care about what the people want.
sparkie1j dude im pretty sure he doesn't do RUclips full time and if he does then you got a point but if he doesn't then that's different because that would mean he has a job and his own life to worry about and he has to research and edit all his videos on his own which takes time, that is not lazy in my book BUT if he does do RUclips full time then it's a different story all together
"I've finally uploaded a video" jk, am glad you still make those and know how hard it is to make content like your's. Keep up the good and enjoyable work you do!
DMC had memorable music tracks?
Interesting, I can remember a bunch of tracks from the originals but not a single track from DMC, and I have played that awful excuse of a game twice through.
Damn, I still remember devils never cry from devil may cry 3 -laughs-, finishing that game on the original PC port and on a keyboard no less... What I used to put up with.
lostsanityreturned It did , the club theme , mundus baby boss battle , a majority of the combat themes and even the opening track. The OST is what people praised most about the game anyways
I believe that people gravitate to the club music (and by extension the boss battle in the club) mostly because of how well they linked the visuals to the music, rather than the bgm being anything particularly standout.
@@denzelromero4796 the club theme is named Lilths Club from Noisia
*Noisia are pretty great btw*
And the mundus spawn theme is Wtf is wrong with you people from Combichrist
*One of their best song's in my opinion*
The reason ik this is because I listen to them on my free time
This isn't important but I recommend anyone who finds this comment check out Noisia or Combichrist they are both great
I don't think you'll ever see this, but I have legit been subscribed to this channel since like the Halo 2 video and I have always enjoyed your voice and it has always sounded familiar but i could never think why.
You sound like the English voice actor for Spike from Cowboy Bepop. I needed to get this out there
inquisition over shovel knight and bayonetta 2? gross
Fun Fact Aiden Gillan was on three seasons of the wire also with Lance Reddick.
Hey I loved DmC. Incoming hate mob in 3 2 1...
TheMrRares get better taste
Living Jojo Reference you mean the older devil may cry games? Yeah right like they are representative of good taste with cringy dialog and over exagerated reality bending physics. The only people that hate DmC are hardcore fans of the original series that cant stand to have something new come up now and then. Things worked out in your favor tho as even with DmC having universal critical acclaim the franchise will continue with Devil May Cry 5.
TheMrRares DmC is for people who don't play crazy over the top fun action games. DMC3s story is frankly underappreciated, its a simple fun story. DmCs is just retarded
Mild Monster well that is your opinion man. Lets agree to disagree then.
"Yeah right like they are representative of good taste with cringy dialog and over exagerated reality bending physics."
And DmC Annonymous combined with the Futurama Slurm episode isnt? lol
Succubus -Fuck you, Dante!
Dante: -Fuck you!
i never could watched fully any of of his vdos. But holly shit his videos make me sleep faster. voice of a lullaby god! my insomnia has been cure!! thanks mate!
It's games like this that make me feel bad for those who stuck with Xbox One. Aside from indies, gears of war, and the halo games, there hasn't been an Xbox exclusive that made the system just as appealing as PC or even PS4. At least PS4 has Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, N-sane Trilogy, all Kingdom Hearts games, and so on. I suppose, in that respect, Xbox has the same amount as Xbox, but some of those Xbox games are on PC too. But Xbox does have that backwards compatibility aspect too, so I don't know
Nier Automata is not a ps4 exclusive.
On consoles, you can only play it on PS4. Same deal with Quantum-break, on consoles, you can only play it on Xbone. That's what he meant.
Yep, Crackdown 3 is supposed to be in the same boat. Honestly if not for Persona 5 and the master chief collection I would consider both consoles little more than paperweights.
Kakashi Okazaki Oops, I actually forgot Automata was on PC lol my bad
Ora Saikatsu nice controllers
I find the AIs flank you a lot in both sides,precisely throwing grenades and force you to leave a cover, still better intelligence compared to many other games. Also the combat is very refreshing if you know to combine the skills they give effectively, I never stick to one skill and try to use every of them one after another until all of them need a recharge (skills and power are successful implemented since none of them is useless). It gives the badass feeling to the player.
DMC was not the worst game in the world.
Legosi Still ain't great though
DmC > DMC2
DMC 2 is the worst
I'd rly like another Heavenly Sword. Thing is, Ninja Theory don't own rights to any of those 3 games, and each sold below their publisher's expectations.
A great video and while Quantum Break is still one of my favorite third person xbox exclusive( for it's story, not the storytelling) I do agree with almost all of your points. It's a messy, great game. I would love to see you dive into Control, I think it's the ultimate Remedy experience and with all expansions being out you can talk about it all in one video.
DmC was pretty good, though.
Sharp, well articulated and valid critique, good review. Greetings from Remedy Entertainment.
I took too many breaks while playing this game its that boring and monotonous !!
It's a show trying too hard to be a video game
Bob Stickman
The show was a trainwreck !
A_Lone Traveler you’re too boring and monotonous lol
The Xmoda how original.
go play fortnite or something
Well said, I appreciate this criticism. I also liked the presentation, but it fell short in so many ways that I although I wanted to see more tie-ins in a rerun and making a few different decisions, but I just don't really want to play the game again
