I have an English major and your criticism sucks, period. XD

Reviewers are supposed to criticise a game based on their experience. Just like me and you.

A better analogy in this case would be, a newb golf player given a high quality set of iron to play golf to play, then asked to describe its quality. Would you trust his/her judgement, if you know they're bad/have no experience at the game?

The thing is though - a video game isn't golf. Golf requires an amazing amount of skill and technique. Quantum break - does not.

If the amateur pointed out a flaw in the golf clubs - and could prove it.. I would absolutely agree with them. That is the point about proof.

You are just trying to paint the whole thing in one stroke. Pro = true, amateur = liar. You aren't even looking at their points, you are just instantly ignoring them because of experience.

The Gifs are explanatory regarding the reviewer incompetence at handling the character. I never got stuck in that area or looked like an amateur playing that far into the game. 

I feel that you're arguing just for the sake of it, I've played the game and many share the same sentiment as I do that reviewers are pretty sucky at this game like most games they play.

It's more obvious on QB because this isn't your regular TPS cover shooter. Its mechanics are crafted to make the game feel more offensive and fluid than let's say The Division.

But it is a core gameplay element. People play third person games this way, which is why Bioware made Mass Effect 2 more of a TPS than RPG. People rely on their guns because it's just as effective on chaining together abilities/mechanics.

TPS doesn't mean cover system. Quantum Break doesn't play like Gears.

What you saying is that, because Halo and COD are FPSs they're played the same.

People play them similarily though. I think people overestimate the quality of play and amount of time that people put into these games. :-/ 

All I was saying is that people see a cover system and a TPS, so they expect it to work as well as other games that have the same things. There is a loophole in that the game is designed to played differently, but it becomes a valid complaint if you're able to effectively play the game that way.

This game is in no way, shape or form hard enough for anyone to suck at it.

People will have to cope with the fact that the press didnt received the game well, so they either start dealing with it or keep in denial mode until the next big game makes them forget about QB.

The game is currently at #43 on the Amazon Top 100, so it is more than clear that people are over this incident and this is just water under the bridge.

Better luck next time i guess...

I didn't get stuck there either. Yet you are actually avoiding his REAL points. You are saying "he is bad at this game, so none of his points matter". That is as biased thinking as possible.

He actually shows everything backing up his point. Yet you aren't arguing "well that part isn't hard". You are arguing "you suck, so you must be biased". That isn't how actual adults have a discussion.

It is like the "pro golfer" saying "they are great" without any proof, and the "amateur golfer" saying they aren't good - and offering up tons of video proof. You are just going to ignore him because he doesn't fit your agenda, and doesnt meet your level of experience.

You aren't even trying to discussion his points about the game - you are trying to avoid them all because he was bad at certain points. You are throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Are you going to go look for video reviews of people that gave this game high scores and see if they suck? No because you are very much biased. You are only looking for people that gave it bad scores and saying they don't fit your agenda and your way of playing.

Infact you seem so very determined to ignore any points and just claim "your biased, your score doesn't count" - this wil be my last post.

This is a thread to show how bad some reviewers were at the game. I showed some videos to prove it.

You are the one putting into question their ability to evaluate the game as a whole. I just questioned their opinion on gameplay.

What a surprise. AngryJoke sucks at a game then spends half an hour whining like a little bitch about it.
