I'd expect reviewers to be professional, ignore marketing talk by publishers and judge the game for what it offers, not what they expected. Not to mention majority of reviews say good things about gameplay of course so what makes you say QB doesn't live up to these "promises"? Of course I'd say the way QB tells the story can be considered new, also visuals are partly something we haven't seen before..care to tell me how some of the other high rated games re-invented the wheel then?

Umm Killzone Shadowfall also uses a very similar method, don't think QB is the first top use it.....a launch title did

Have visuals been a common point of complaint in the reviews? I've only read 6 or 7 so far, but in those it was primarily the gameplay and story that have had a mixed reception (the latter more so than the former, but only 1 review was outright negative about either). For the most part it seems to do its job as a narrative experience though, so i'm alright :p

I don't think they were saying the concept of a temporal resolution itself was new (though regardless, the process K:SF's MP and QB go through to arrive at their final image isn't strictly the same, at least to the best of my understanding ).

The graphics and atmosphere look amazing in this game. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

All Remedy games i've played had fun gameplay and this looks the part and top of their game.

Disappointed by it being a Windows Store only release. Why no Steam?

If you promised the Mona Lisa but deliver no where close to that due you really expect reviewers to ignore that? No not really. Both you and I know what is going on right here....

Games like battlefield did not promise to reinvent the wheel and consequently they were scored differently.

Quantum break scored below 80 which is considered below average for this gen.

But how does that take away your enjoyment of the game. Unless...

Hmm, I guess we'll all have to wait and see on the story.  But the gameplay looks amazing... like a cross between Infamous and Uncharted if you ask me, which is a good thing.  As far as excessive cutscentes, as long as they don't get completely out of control I'm OK.  If anything, they seem to be really well done, ala uncharted so I'm sure this game will be pretty fun.

Because it is an game made with financial help from MS and they want to make people interested in the Windows store.

Yup I sure know what's going on here 😉 your talk about Mona Lisa is just empty words, maybe you can provide me their PR that led you believe this stuff? I have been keeping my eye on this game for years and I can't remember such promises. They have been excited for the way they are delivering the story though.

Seriously, what good is a review for where the person reviewing it compares the complete product to his own expectations? Game should be reviewed how it is, otherwise it's useless. Or would QB actually be 90 if publishers hadn't been running their mouths about it?

I don't know what you're about with your last sentence. Where did you get the idea from that mc scores would affect my enjoyment? Don't worry it won't 😊 quality of this game surely won't be below average you know. Soon I'll know if it actually be top tier

Actually from a few reviews they do radically change the way this game approach the to a 3rd person shooter.  The question just like The Order is does it gel together to make for a good to great experience.  Just like The Order, it has mixed reviews because some people like it and some people do not.
