If people would play Quantum Break they would stop with The Order comparisons I think. I haven't played TO and I'm not suggesting it's a bad game but QB..forget about it. The game I a masterpiece and will most likely be loved by people experiencing it. Not sure if it'll help sales though.

Say what you will about metascores, but its extremely rare for a game to meta in the 70s and for it to be widely regarded as a masterpiece. You are entitled to that opinion for yourself of course. But in terms of the extent to which the general gamer reception will lead to word of mouth sales, it's highly doubtful that the effect will be that of a masterpiece game. I expect it will get generally positive word of mouth, but it seems unlikely that it will have too many people calling it a must have game.

Calling a game a masterpiece is silly, the only game that deserves that title is Super Mario World.

But I do believe Quantum Break is going to be remembered as something great even if a few reviews kept it from an 80.

Some games sometimes get amazing metascores but arent remembered too fondly. Such as GTAIV and Killzone 2.
