Remedy packs punch. And QB has much wider appeal than sunset. People love 3rd person story driven games. The order story was bad, while the QB is moderately good.

I expect QB to sells 50% more than The order lifetime on Xbone.

Doe, you expect the game to sell 2.5M lifetime? Ew..

The Order is overtracked by about 200k in the US, and probably another 200k in the rest of the world.

Quantum Break! (Metascore dissapointment? puh)

how do you know? It definitely sold alot, I've never seen more copies of a single game in the pre owned section lol

NPD for US numbers, logic for rest of world.

Im at 60% after six hours, which is already longer than the order. Granted the TV show takes up some of that time. But yes the media will push the hot topics for clicks you're not wrong. 

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with shorter games, It's just striking that the reviews docked it points for being short, there were dozens and dozens of articles and you couldn't go in a single The Order thread without it being full of 'games too short' comments. The Order was destroyed by the media but clearly they want this game to be successful, which it likely deserves of course.

Probably has more to do with The Order having absolutely zero replay value whatsoever while QB has multiple story paths you can experience on different playthroughs, and engrossing gameplay. Also, who says the games are the same length? I platinumed The Order in less than 6 hours. That's one play through, and then going back for trophy cleanup. QB takes longer than that on one play through.

As for the comparison, meh. Order was more hyped, and a 63 is a long ways off a 78. Plus The Order has been $20 on a much larger install base for a good while now :)

I have to ask: considering Quantum Break is as short as The Order, where are all the articles about this? It just goes to show how the media either get behind a title or not and the reason I take absolutely no notice of them, and neither should you.

Yeah the media is biased in favour of the Xbox One.... Come on, at least lets have serious discussions.  I dont think just the length of The Order was the issue.

OT

QB was received farrrr more positively than The Order.  The comparison is bogus. 

QB reviews: 77% positive.  18% mixed.  5% negative. 

TO reviews: 32% positive.  56% mixed.  12% negative.

The overall rating from Metacritic can be misleasding.  77% of reviews were positive about QB, thats decent.

 

I never said that. I said (and repeat for reading comprehension): It just goes to show how the media either get behind a title or not.

Thanks.

Very similar games with a similar demise... I don't know. It's hard to say. Overall I prefer the characters and setting from The Order. I see more of a future in it. Lots of potential for a franchise.

So my playthrough of the order on hard was 5 and a half hours. My playthrough of quantom break on normal was 9 hours and 50 minutes. While almost ten hours is on the shorter side, there is short, and then there's the order...

Is the series attached to it a high quality? I've seen one episode and it wasn't too bad.

theres no getting away that xbox supporters were touting this as a ps4 destroyer with best graphics etc. game looks ok possibly worth a buy



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I don't think QB will sell more than The Order.



Quantum Break will not sell 'well'. It will be discounted before the end of the month and may only be on the NPD because its the closest thing to a AAA exclusive on XOne for months in every direction. Furthermore it will sell under 300k on NPD. Comparing it to a game that at best was a misunderstood critical failure is also kinda like trolling QB. "Oh can QB sell more than this perceived failure?" And it probably wont but AT LEAST compare it to something like Ratchet and Clank... at least they release the same month. Actually, I know why, because no one think QB can beat Ratchet.
