Quantum Break Review - Feminist Frequency

"Quantum Break is the latest third-person shooter from Remedy, the same studio that brought us Max Payne way back in 2001, and boy, does that lineage show. Like that game, this one revolves around a flashy gimmick that serves to differentiate its gameplay a bit from that of other, more straightforward third-person shooters. And like Max Payne, as well as Remedy’s 2010 game Alan Wake, it stars a dude who cannot stop narrating his story for us."

I think they missed the whole core point and style of Max Payne given the constant misjudged jabs they take at it.

As for no female combatants...most of them are wearing helmets, their characterless models walking forward and firing.

By yeah, typical review from these people. Harp on about the same thing over and over, cover a few bases before returning the same thing. Max Payne, Max Payne, Max Payne etc etc

"I think they missed the whole core point and style of Max Payne given the constant misjudged jabs they take at it"

They aren't even gamers like their overlord and mistress Anita so of course they missed the core point and style of Max Payne. They've never played it.

PixelGateUk3367d ago

I don't know who the dude is doing the review, so i didn't want to pass any comment on his beliefs etc (thoguh given the banner he works under it's pretty much a safe bet).

-Foxtrot3367d ago

If they are working for that shitty site then I can easily pass judgement...no offence but after the shit they moan about, non gaming related things they can get lost for all I care.

"Dude"...you mean Lady.

Overload3367d ago

Lol. The reviewer is a woman.

"Reviewed by Carolyn Petit"

I had to check, I thought it was a guy at first too.

Majin-vegeta3367d ago

@Overload

Carolyn is actually a man and well just leave it at that.

But this review was just blehh.

-Foxtrot3367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

Well she's a woman, if she's transsexual then she's now a woman. Anyway Carolyn Petit thought I reconizwed her from somehwere

Why are we allowing Feminist Frequency on this site. It's a disease by FemaNazis making out that they are proper Feminists when they aren't. The same people who would go against someone like Christina Hoff Sommers, a proper feminist who has been one for years and even saw the ridiculous flawed argument during GG and even sided with GG.

Technically because FF links to GamerGate and GamerGate isn't allowed on the site then really FF shouldn't allowed on the site either with it's heavy and I mean HEAVY ties to the GamerGate fiasco.

Just saying...unless the site wants to be hypercritical once again.

Crimzon3367d ago

I just watched this review out of curiosity and I really was shocked to see that the entirety of it was spent complaining about the story and how there weren't enough female characters or female enemies to shoot. It might have been a good idea for the reviewer to just consider for a moment that they're talking about a video game and that the one defining characteristic of the medium that differentiates it from others is actual, you know, gameplay? Maybe talking about that would have been a good idea.

When I saw the comparison to Life Is Strange as justification for why Quantum Break should be full of female characters I honestly thought it was a parody/joke review. It's surprising to see that they're actually serious with this stuff. It's weird as well because I remember the reviewer (Carolyn Petit) used to review games for GameSpot, and her reviews were much better back then and actually talked about the games themselves, something she seemed to be trying really hard to avoid in this video.

johndoe112113367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

What I wanna know is who the hell approved an article from feminists frequency?? why would anyone even submit an article from that site??? Exactly what the hell was overload thinking???

@Foxtrot

Unless she changed her chromosomes from xy to xx she's still a man.

PhucSeeker3367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

She was the one at Gamespot who gave GTA V a con which was "being misogynistic". I would stay away from her.

4Sh0w3367d ago (Edited 3367d ago )

Everybody has an opinion, for the record I just totally disagree with this review. Honestly to me it just seemed like the reviewer quickly brushed over many quality aspects of the game in an effort to make this review about some larger men vs women moral issues rather than the merits of gameplay, actual story and the overall game, all of which I think are very nicely done.

starchild3367d ago

You did. But then again it's not like they hid it very well.

rainslacker3367d ago

At least they're reviewing the game for their viewers, who might be looking for female characters.

Not sure it's right to diss the game, given that having a single character to play is not really a bad thing, and usually works for SP story driven games.

PhucSeeker3367d ago

But come on, *games with attractive dudes* no female protagonist. *games with attractive female* sexualized women.

I gave up understanding these people.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN466d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit466d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead465d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica465d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL465d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit465d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper465d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica464d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer466d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit466d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer466d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit465d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer465d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183465d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper465d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal466d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood466d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183465d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde466d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion482d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer482d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion481d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77481d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer481d ago (Edited 481d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw482d ago (Edited 482d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder482d ago (Edited 482d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing481d ago (Edited 481d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai481d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

15 games on FIFTEEN pages? That's a NO from me.

Superliminal
Antichamber
Manifold Garden
Portal & Portal 2
The Stanley Parable
Monument Valley
Gorogoa
Thumper
Inscryption
Q.U.B.E. 2
Darq
Quantum Break
Perspective
Inside
The Swapper

IamTylerDurden1779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.

I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.

SullysCigar778d ago (Edited 778d ago )

I'd add FEAR and RE7 (when Ethan starts getting visions, especially in the boat) to that list.

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion778d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned777d ago

Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
