Quantum Break (PC/XB1)

[theshun]

Will not be on Steam.

[Tyrath]

Fucka you microsoft.

[Waraji]

Will not be on Steam.

How many more Game clients do I need... Steam, Origin, Uplay, GOG, now I actually have to buy shit on the Microsoft Store? I somehow feel that will go just as well as Microsofts Game Marketplace went back in the day. Fuck Games for Windows Live!

[Tyrath]

Does the MS Store part mean you can only buy it on Win10? I'm still running Win7 on my PC and really saw no real incentives to upgrade.

[6souls]

Win10 only. It's part of their strategy to make everyone use the os.

[Obsidian]

Pretty sure it's W10 because of DX12.

I'm getting a bad feeling about this. I was going to pre-order for the free Windows 10 copy, but the closer we get to the launch date without any positive press is making me think this might not be that good of a game. Am I just being paranoid?

It's early. I would imagine the game is pretty long due to the episodes being 22 minutes.

Sorry, on mobile or this would be one post.

[Qalbert]

so I don't know how the free windows 10 copy will work or when I'll get it, but if it's not tied to my gamertag would anyone be interested in it for cheap or something

[Jamison]

Just double checked, because I thought it was worded this way, but it does look like it is just a redemption code. (I know the Alan Wake one was which came in a couple of days ago).

Free Quantum Break Windows 10 game offer valid with pre-order of digital copy of Quantum Break for Xbox One, by April 4, 2016, from Xbox Store, Xbox.com, participating retailers, or inside Quantum Break Xbox One console bundles, while supplies last (physical game discs and bundles with Quantum Break game discs are excluded from this offer). Quantum Break Xbox One codes purchased at retail and inside bundles must be redeemed on the console or at Xbox.com by April 4, 2016 11.59 PM Pacific Time. Windows 10 game redemption code will be sent via Xbox system message around the week of April 5, 2016. (In US, UK and Canada, codes with pre-order of the Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break Bundle can be redeemed by April 10th, 2016, 11.59 PM Pacific Time.) For Windows 10 game system requirements see www.quantumbreak.com/windows10. Offer available in all Xbox Live markets except China.

So I should be able to just give it away/sell for cheap probably right?

[Jamison]

I'm just guessing here, but yeah, that is what it sounds like.

I would probably be interested if this is the case.

[notorious bum]

I was expecting No Man's Sky to be the game that couldn't live up its own hype, but I think it will be hard to beat this shallow tech demo. I still might get NMS, even though I was bummed about the lack of player interaction.

[Jamison]

While I have high regard for GiantBomb reviews, that's the only site I've come across so far that has been so negative. I don't think anyone is claiming this to be a perfect or revolutionary game, but it's getting decent enough marks elsewhere.

[Obsidian]

It wasn't the only low score I saw, but it was by far the most negative review I've seen.
