let me start by saying that Max Payne 1 is probably my fav game of all times for all the amount of times i replayed it and continued to enjoy it. Alan Wake was a very tense and enjoyable game, setting and stoy. I skipped Quantum Break as the direction of story and gameplay didn't really click with me from what I've seen. I bought this as it received a lot of praise from most people. Positively, the mood and setting of this game remains good. The start of the game is very intriguing and the questions you have about the story keeps you going to know more and finish the game. Sound design and graphics are very good and it seems to be running decently and being optimized for the most part on a decent PC. Unfortunately this is about it when it comes to positives. The gameplay is very repetitive and disengaging. everything looks modern and sleek but Jesse's movement and attacks feel so archaic and stiff. Gunfight is accurate and fun but the enemy AI is just woeful. The story gets worse and more cliche the more you get on with it with silly dialogues and very bad facial animations with Remedy taking the weird decision with zooming in on their face with every dialogue to watch their stiff face even clearer. The voice acting is very good but their delivery feels mostly uninterested as if they are not caring about what is happening in the oldest house. i truely enjoyed the performancs of Emily Pope , the Janitor Ahti and Langston but otherwise it was a snoozefest. to add more insult to injury, I had the anchor boss fight CTD that i couldnt get pass but by using a trainer and one shotting the boss. I hope Remedy focuses more on gameplay than delivering a cinematic story when its clear that they dont have writers to carry their games without engaging gameplay (and even if they did, its a video game not a book or a movie). I hope you all had a better time than i did . ill just go back to play Max Payne with a broken heart of how the mighty has fallen.
While I love Viking Conquest I could not recommend it less. The Combat, graphics and addition of campaign are the 3 things that make this mod bearable. it's a paid mod that lacks content while u got tons of free ones that are filled with content. I love it becuz i love the boat battles ,being a viking and the combat engine improvements. Otherwise, don't waste your money on this bug fested non-optimized paid mod that shouldve been for free.
