Quantum Break Hype Thread - GS Review 6.0

I just played it briefly on XB1, and it looks amazing... forget about what all these "experts" & dumb fanboys say, it looks great. And plays great.

Can't wait to play more when I get home from work.

No he was not.

I just thought Xdrone was a little on the nose, dont you think?

I'm still getting it tomorrow. I know what to expect from these kinds of games. After being on an RPG binge on 3ds, I need some quick action!

And yet still at 78... Even when most of the new reviews being 90+...

It's quite pathetic.

yeah I know.

Actually Metacritic is wrong in the avg score (they might haven't updated it yet but w/e), assuming my napkin math isn't fubard but it should be a avg of 79, not an avg of 78.

As of this post the scores are

add all of those which equals 6,264, divide it by the number of reviews which is 79, the meta avg should be something like 79.2911 yada yada

Is he another Alt of Nya? lol

Dude we've been saying this for the longest...

@ni6htmare01: who knows. I wouldn't be surprised...

@blessedbyhorus: the only stuff I saw about it is saying the score is off, I haven't seen a post (only went back 1 page) doing the math to prove that indeed the avg is off. It would be like saying someone saw Jennifer Lawrence nude w/o proof XD

@dynamitecop and others did the same math you did already.

@Ballroompirate: metacritic doesn't do straight averages

Just went back 3 pages and no, no one did any sort of math to find the average (conspiracy theories =/= math), the closes comment I could find was Blackaces

"75% of the scores were 70 or higher. Easily more positive reviews then 60 or below reviews. Don't need to cherry pick, it's pretty obvious. The game didn't score in the 60's like The Order 1886 or FlopClub because those games actually did have more scores 60 or lower. If Uncharted 4 scores anything under a 9.0 it will be a flop as well. Cows are hoping and praying for Bloodborne type reviews I'm sure."

which is not even close to finding the average of something, in case Quantum Break.

That's dumb as hell lol

Can confirm that they did the same math, I forget how long ago that was though

@Ballroompirate:

You didn't go far back enough...

Then be my guest and find the post, cause I went back as far as 1 day and 17 hours and didn't find any post doing any sort of math to find the average.

@lostrib: Both are ridiculous. Maybe this one because you would think he would not repeat such an embarrassment.

@Ballroompirate: here you go

that backfired lol

Not at all actually, he didn't say that because he was projecting that, he said that because he's a fanboy.

He could have been aware the game would be a game of the year contender even before review releases and he would have still said that.

Link?

Looks like all big Xbox games flopping, only Gears of war left then

recore is coming to PC as well

Kudos. I wasn't aware. Looking forward to it. I was bummed about the loss of Legends.

You do realize that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about doing the math to prove (like what I did even though it was pretty half assed) to show the avg was wrong. A 79.2% does not round up to 80%, it would actually just round down to 79%. The only way it would round up to 80% is if Metacritic was a .1 scaling system out of 10, like a 7.8 would just be round up to an 8 so QB and other games that score a 78 or 79 would be a 8/10 or a 80/100, but Metacritic doesn't do this or if they are trying to do it they are failing at it pretty hardcore.

As for QB being a "flop", I don't care I'm dling it as we speak cause the game looks dope as hell. I'm just here to prove the avg rating of QB was not correct.

@Ballroompirate: It was a few days ago, the scores may have been different, but you are both complaining about the same thing...

26 pages. Holy f*ck! I have never seen lems this frustrated. Guys this is what happens when the delays, gameplay, DX12 and resolution all fail to deliver. Thank you Remedy for giving us SW worthy title haha

Metacritic isn't a strict average, certain websites carry more weight to the overall average of the review. It's why the Metacritic average and open critic average are different.

@jg4xchamp: Is there any proof of that though

Agreed. It looks like the cows and lems have officially gone full postal on each other.

Why the term “weighted average” matters

Metascore is a weighted average in that we assign more importance, or weight, to some critics and publications than others, based on their quality and overall stature. In addition, for music and movies, we also normalize the resulting scores (akin to "grading on a curve" in college), which prevents scores from clumping together.

Exactly. And having now played the first act, watched the episode I am enjoying it. Its definitely a Remedy game and that's good to me. I am enjoying combat as well. Much more refreshing than hiding/running to new cover and just popping up and shooting. I enjoy that with my Gears and Uncharted fix. Running around choosing when to use which power is fun. Don't know what the entire experience will be but its a fun start.

That's a crappy average system then lol, specially if they have 3 different categories for those "top" sites like most clicked, most active and publication if that's how they do it. Each top site/publication could change on a monthly or even weekly basis, like one month Gamespot could have a slow month(s) and a random site could have a high hit month and replace Gamespot. I mean you can even factor in say for example a Sony publication site could easily "bump" their site with fake hits.

I might be going too much into it but averaging the avg of a score should be simple like if a LoZ game scores a 7,7,8,8,8,9,9,9 which would be an average of 8.1 or 8 if you want to round it.

I agree. If the sites are worthy enough to be mentioned on Meta then their scores should have equality. Might as well just limit the score to the sites the deem worthy most and not factor in the rest then.

Too bad lems never accept when they've been owned. Remedy being the gracious devs they are recognize when they've been beaten.

how do developer nuts taste

sad

You numb nuts might want to play the game before you get carried away, I don't care about your vitriol, you're bad mouthing a really good game that you'd likely enjoy.

No amount of bullshit fanboyism is worth missing out on a good gaming experience.

Watching this movie on twitch is hilarious especially the comments section

its JACK this and JACK that not to mention half of the people thought they were on netflx twitch streams for quantum break are gold

Save us your butthurt tears. If this game was exclusive to PC and PS4 you wouldn't be defending it like you're doing now. Where were you when SFV flopped?

At least in Destiny im actually playing a video game.. not watching a movie looool

Indeed. They are an embarrassing lot.
