So what exactly does this mean, did it to well?

QB ~28K

No.

The story might be different in NA, but the numbers in the UK are mediocre at best. To put it differently, based on the UK numbers, Quantum Break 2 would need a miracle to be greenlit.

 

[solis74]

Congrats and well deserved, brilliant game!

 

[shandy706]

Man, this thread is really embarrassing.

just wow at some of the posts.

Anyway, hope the game ends up being a sucess for Remedy/MS. Was going to buy it at launch but gonna wait for them to fix (IF they will fix it) the PC version.

Bullet = Quantum Break

Jack = PC only Gamer

I'm ready for my PC code......when the PC code is ready. Haha

 

[Gestault]

Also when sales are low aren't Pubs usually just silent (sure, it's a deafening silence but still...) rather than desperately trying to paint the news positively?

I've always found this odd about MS PR. At least it's entertaining though.

If a one-platform game gets top sales ranking in a decent-sized market the week of release, that's good grounds for PR. Same if a new IP's launch week outperforms their portfolio up to that point.

I'm hung-up on the whole "those words don't mean that thing," but this isn't a desperate situation.

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

People are getting too caught up on the whole "MS Studios IP" thing. For MS, these are all games they published, funded, marketed, etc.


Hope we get at QB2 and an Alan Wake 2!

 

[Frozone]

Congrats to the team Remedy! It is the best looking game to date IMO! Great action-packed gameplay and incredible FX and lighting/shading that's on another level from what we are used to seeing!

How much further into the generation before people stop acting like 12 year old fanboys over one giant corporation? I thought we would be closer than we appear to be right now.

Great game, deserves congrats.

Haha these are amazing Shandy

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Good news because I like the studio and I want to see more of their games. And eventually I'll have a PC worthy of playing quantum break.

Sadly I don't think it will ever happen. So much unnecessary hate.

And yes, congrats are in order, great game.

Still no casings?

Bug?

 

[Ricker]

Thanks for contributing?

Probably doesnt own a X1 so of course the game is shitty to him...

 

[Nuke Soda]

Even though I am not liking the game all that much I am happy for Remedy, they really deserve hit after hit.

 

[Asd202]

This thread is turning into another shit sales thread. Can we go back to discussing cool things in the game? The FX are crazy impressive, I want to know how they handled all the rippling effects.

lol

What a sad pr tbh.

The guns in the game are "designed to work in the time folds". I'm not sure if that applies to all of them...or not...haha. I'd think not, but who knows (shrug). All the guns you obtain do come from Monarch...I think.

There is a memo in the game about guns though. On of those little story details you can pick up on if you read and pay attention to the details.

"Bullets" warp and swerve and trail off weirdly at times...even when there's nothing you can see immediately affecting them.

But how does that effect casings, and the fact that he has to reload a clip, and checks the clip to see how many have been discharged? lol

Don't ask me, lol. The time egg is f*cked.

Never think too hard about Time Travel/Manipulation stories. You will just give yourself brain aneurism.

Gonna have to consult Sam Carter from SG1 on this.

 

[Bornstellar]

I think my number one complaint about the game is the fact that shell casings are completely absent despite the fact that you can hear them, and reloads don't actually remove / insert a fresh magazine.

Update with new Xbox article: http://news.xbox.com/2016/04/14/39364/

Last week, on April 5, 2016, we were proud to announce that Quantum Break had launched worldwide to critical acclaim. Today, we are excited to share that Quantum Break was the #1 best-selling Xbox game around the world last week, and is now officially the biggest-selling new Microsoft Studios published IP this generation. In addition, last week Quantum Break was the #1 most played new game on Xbox, worldwide.

What bullshit. They send me a promo code and absolutely refuse to let me access my xbox messages. I can't open it on browser, mobile (smartglass android), or Win10 Xbox app, wtf

[semiconscious]

Well deserved. I'd consider it one of the best story games this generation, and it has fun gameplay as well. If you like Alan Wake, Uncharted, and Tomb Raider then Quantum Break will be right up there for you. What surprised me the most was that the TV portion of the game is very good...

now where've i heard that before?:

If there's a sign they're doing PR work under the guise of community interaction,that's something. Otherwise, the idea that someone would repeat their opinion isn't so nuts. I'm not familiar with the poster.

Then you'll get Quantum Break 2.

I'm torn. I really wanted Alan Wake 2 but after playing Quantum Break I kind of want Quantum Break 2 now. Haha, too bad we can't get both at the same time.

Aaron Greenberg further clarified on Twitter re: the "best-selling new MS IP" claim:

first week sales, but typically that should also mean lifetime based on sales curves.

[SmoothRunningGun]

Good...I guess.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

I finished the game yesterday. Save from that bullshit of a final boss, it truly is an amazing game. I was smiling from the begining till the final boss, what a ride.

Its success is totally deserved.

They still should have specified "on first week".

No Jay's not a shill, he just really likes Quantum Break.

That seems like a weird stretch statement. He says its a record for 1st weeks sales but it "should" also mean lifetime sales record as well based on a sales curve? Sales could also drop as well. But I guess when you are only comparing it to the IPs MS has published, they could be able to somewhat predict how it will do if its isn't too far behind the other IPs in lifetime sales.

 

[ethomaz]

It was obvious.

QB sales numbers are not something to grab about (based on UK data).
