Quantum Break Is Blatantly Better Than Uncharted 4 - Satire

"Reviews for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End were published this past week, and the Internet flipped out over them because Uncharted reviews bring the very worst dregs of humanity crawling out from under rotted driftwood."

Quantum Break is just another game that will come and go, Uncharted 4 won't and you gave them the same score.

I'm not condoning attacking the guy about it though and in the end 8.5 is still a great score.

BLizardXD3296d ago

Lost Odyssey scored poorly and was remembered heavily by fans. Quantum Break has plenty of content to work on for sequels to come.

Overload3295d ago

The Lost Oddessy IP seems to have been ditched considering it doesn't have a sequel and the Xbox One could use a JRPG.

Not really the best example.

thekhurg3294d ago

I find it sad that this guy gave both games the same score and then throws a satire piece up about them afterwards.

ShadowKnight3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

If you watch Angry Joe video review on Quantum Break you will get your answer. He doesn't just tell you he shows you how bad the game is. I thought it was decent at best.

BLizardXD3295d ago

Better than the order 1886 though for sure.

ShadowKnight3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

I wouldn't know because I never played the Order 1886.

BLizardXD3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

ShadowKnight "I wouldn't know because I never played the Order 1886. It's definitely better than Ryse: Son of Rome."

I forgot shooting was in Ryse, good point.

ShadowKnight3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

What was the reason for you to bring up the Order 1886? Last time I check this article was talking about Quantum Break and Uncharted 4. BTW One thing I did like about Quantum Break was that the achievements was easy to get on my first walk through.

ShadowKnight3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

@Tacobell323 Ummm I actually did play the game Xbox fanboy and it wasn't that good. If you wanna know my XBOX gamertag let me know. I have to agree with Angry Joe with his review. Until Dawn had a way better story than Quantum Break. It's funny yall keep comparing other Sony exclusives with Quantum Break lol. Your history speaks for itself Lol

@Tacobell323

You are entitled to your opinion. I'm not going to go back and forth with anyone on social media or gaming website especially a fanboy.. Good day Sir.

"bring the very worst dregs of humanity crawling out from under rotted driftwood."

This applies here.....

GamingIVfun3294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

Jim, I like you but the sarcasm is lame, and you are being just as bad as what you are complaining about.

I like Quantum Break, it was a great game, but I can see where people would lower the score for it, just on technical issues alone.

I haven't played Uncharted 4, will soon, but if it is only as good as the first three games it is better than Quantum Break for me. Of course you are allowed to have your opinion and it's just as valid as anyone else's but with most sites, many of them just as reputable as yours, saying that it is the best game in the series and game of the year and giving it 9.5 to a 10 score and the game having current 9.5 score on metacritic, which is getting harder and harder to achieve these days, that people would question your review.

By the way I would give Quantum Break a generous 8 in my opinion.

You do gaming journalism on the internet, journalist, especially kinda edgy journalist, shouldn't be so thin skinned.

fenome3296d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

I don't usually like satire, but this was actually kind of amusing.

He's more telling fan boys to get over themselves than anything else really. An opinion I agree with wholeheartedly. There's nothing wrong with having preferred systems or games but stop trying to shove it down everybody's throat. The worst are the ones that blatantly just make things up and straight lie, what's the point? And yes, there are really annoying ones on ALL sides of the spectrum.

End of the day not everyone is going to like the exact same things you do, and that's not a bad thing. This Industry would stifle itself to death if there was no variety or competition. As long as you like it who the hell cares what random people on the Internet think?

UltraNova3295d ago

Stop with your common sense! hehe

Jim Sterling is at it again and fanboys will get enraged. This was pure undiluted satire, with a slight hint of 'I mean it' somewhere in there, if I may say.

I wish Jim could answer this but based on his scoring does he really believe U4 and QB are equal games?

dp2774073294d ago

Just because more people have an opinion not shared by you doesn't mean its being shoved down your throat, maybe you come here with your throat wide open.

DLConspiracy3294d ago

Well said. I thought it was funny. I got the humor. Both sides are pretty big hypocrites.

notachance3294d ago

'As long as you like it who the hell cares what random people on the Internet think?'

Jim Sterling care apparently, he care so much he write a long-ass satire so that he can have a peace of mind that he retaliated against trolling fanboys lol.

Kaneki-Ken3295d ago

Who ever wrote this article is just ignorant, and salty. Most of his opinion mention is already answered in trilogy of Drake characteristics and why do this stuff, Uncharted 4 show how he have change because if you played the game, in the end he clearly show how wrong this article is.

Kalebninja3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

It's satire.

stuna13295d ago

The thing about satire is that it can also be used as a way to mask or redirect ones actual feelings under the guise it's all in jest.

johndoe112113295d ago

Which is exactly what he did. Granted, I understand his annoyance. He got a lot of flack from people who were pissed that he rated uncharted 4 the same as quantum break, and it's people who haven't even played the game as yet so I can't really fault him on that. This entire piece is rage satire, it's basically him jokingly admitting to being an xbox fanboy because people are accusing him of it. I dont think he was laughing at all when he wrote this. Personally, I have never cared about jim sterling or his reviews. He has shown WAAAAAY to much bias and stupidity in game reviews in the past for anyone to take him seriously as far as i'm concerned.

I haven't played either game so I really can't judge which is better from any sort of personal experience. The only judgement I can make is from the reviews I've read so far and I have issues with people who gave quantum break very high scores after seeing many videos showing glaring downsides of the game, especially when certain ps4 exclusives were hammered to death for having similar faults. I haven't seen anything but praise and statements of almost perfection for U4, so I would be very wary of anyone who gave both these games the same score whether it be high or low scores.

Kingthrash3603295d ago

Well I own both, played both wanted both.. (check past comments) uncharted runs circles around qb.
On.
Every.
Level.
It's beat qb is every aspect.
Gunplay
ai
Story
Legth
Replay ability
Resolution
Fps
Graphics
Voice acting
Characters
Difficulty
Size of maps
I could go on ....and I will
Stability
Has mp
Music
Sound effects
Melee combat
Climbing
Stealth
Weapon verity
...and the list can go on.
To give them the same score is just bs at its finest.
Yes it's his opinion...but then write a opinion piece rather that a review.
A review is supposed to take everything in account, not what your opinion is.
Things like graphics, frames, length,
Stability are not opinions but facts. Clearly uncharted is the better game and should be scored as such.

Lamboomington3294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

@Kingthrash360

*facepalm*
all those things are better in your opinion. Going back to square one all over again. The vast majority of people would probably agree with you, including myself, but that's completely besides the point. Stability is the only objective thing there, along with character graphics.

Just about everything else you mentioned are completely different. The gunplay is completely different, the graphics are very different. The soundscape is COMPLETELY different. The story is a completely different type of story. How did you come to the conclusion that the sounds in UC4 are objectively better ? How do you even compare ? You do know that QB features some of the most impressive sound manipulation in games ? but again, how are you comparing ?
Stealth ? QB doesn't even have stealth... Level Size ? bigger is not objectively better. Weapon Variety ? QB has time powers, which UC4 doesn't, which means UC4 has to rely more on weapons. Again, just completely different gunplay overall.

It's not BS to score them the same if someone actually enjoys the experience the same. QB and Uncharted 4 are still very different games. Why is it so difficult to see that someone might have an overall experience with QB that they really like ? Why is it so hard to see that some people might walk away with approximately the same level of satisfaction ?

For example, I find the story in QB to be more interesting in the beginning simply because of the subject matter. The science fiction part of it is very well handled and interesting to me in a way that pirate treasure simply isn't . As a result, what *could* end up happening is QB's story impacts me more than Uncharted 4. That might affect my scoring of the two games. Doesn't mean it's bullshit.

A review score IS AN OPINION. A review score will NEVER be objective, neither can it be, save for a few aspects of a game, such as stability. How much do those aspects influence the score ? Again, even that is subjective and varies from person to person, from game to game. How much do you factor in other game scores when scoring a game ? Do you review a game on it's own ambitions and experience, or compare it with other games in the genre ? How far do you go with that comparison ? Again, that's subjective, and varies wildly depending on the type of game. Reviews are not objective, and they never will be, especially when comparing two games that are very different in a lot of ways.

If people understand this, then maybe all the stupid "You have this game X, but this game Y" will stop. It's incredibly annoying, and doesn't make sense to begin with. It demonstrates a basic lack of understanding as to how review scores work.

Kingthrash3603294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

That's incorrect.
Frames per second
Length
AI... (watch angry Joe's review)
MP
Resolution
Stability
Difficulty
Melee combat
Weapon variety
Map scale
Climbing (platforming )
Are all are are not opinions .
These are facts...watch digital foundry.
And play both. Things like story would be opinion...but the list above are facts. These things are clear as day better and both have been analyzed . 8 could elaborate, but why. You already Facepalmed my comment covering your eyes from the truth.
So at the end of the day from a technical standpoint ..(something not opinion) as a game should be reviewed on uncharted has qb trumped easy...they should not have the same review score. Period.
A review should have both opinion and fact yes.. but the meat and potatoes should be based on pure fact. Stability, length, resolution, size, MP, AI, replay ability and difficulty are facts...everything else like story, characters and other opinions should be a minor point in reviewing a game. Sadly because of clicks alot of site who do reviews (according to ign evolve is a better game than both qb and uncharted, go figure) base their reviews on opinion instead of facts. And that's why almost all reviews are night and day.
Some are actually reviews and some are opinion pieces.

Clicked in just to see somebody who doesn't know what satire is. There is always at least one.

magiciandude3295d ago

Quantum Break was an ultra amazing experience. I'm going to be playing Uncharted 4 day one and see which one I like better or if they're both the same.

SpaceRanger3295d ago

I played QB as the first game I got on my Xbox One this past month. The game is average at best.

QB and UC4 are in two separate tiers. Just based on gameplay alone, UC4 is clearly in the top tier in comparison of the two. If there even was comparison. Unfortunately, I'm expecting you to have a few trolling comments once it's out.

DigitalRaptor3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

Well, that is what I expect too. He said to me that Uncharted 4 has PS3 graphics. We all know he's going to downplay Uncharted 4 to oversell Quantum Break. I mean he's already calling what is a forgettable, average game, "ultra amazing".

I'm already informed, as you are clearly, but you only need to watch these two reviews understand on what level Quantum Break is. Despite opinions being subjective, too much of it is inherently objective to ignore:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

You will never find an honest opinion about Uncharted 4 that is anywhere close to as scathing.

rainslacker3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

I'm personally playing both as their own thing. Don't really care how they compare. Enjoyed QB for my time with it, and I'm hoping to enjoy UC4 with my time with it.

Once I've played through UC4 enough, and feel confident in comparing the two, I probably will do so. But I'm not going to base my opinion of UC4 on how it compares to QB. That's just dumb.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit427d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead427d 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

TheEroica427d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL427d ago

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

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

S2Killinit427d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer427d ago

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

S2Killinit427d ago

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

shinoff2183427d ago (Edited 427d 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.

Friendlygamer427d 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

shinoff2183426d 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)

StormSnooper426d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal427d 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.

TwoPicklesGood427d 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.

shinoff2183426d ago

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

DarXyde427d 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.
