Quantum break is soooo underrated in my opinion. It just came out at the wrong time

[@alanmathias6706]

at the wrong time ?

[@gameconsumers]

Kinda the same thing with Alan wake 2😬 I guess sales aren’t what they expected but they also released it when games like spider man 2 resident evil 4 dead space remastered and dead island 2 it was kinda like a push off but the game is so good

[@ContrastCopy]

@@gameconsumerswell, we don’t know how it has sold yet. It’s still a bit of an underground thing tho that’s true.

[@Weeeeee711]

It's still my favorite!

[@tlivracing4898]

Hard to determine when the "right" time would be unfortunately...

[@SidPhoenix2211]

19:20 Btw, Max Payne didn't jump on a trend to add Matrix-esque slow motion stuff. The development of the game had started long before the Matrix came out, and was pretty much built around slow-motion stuff. In fact, when the movie came out Remedy was a little concerned that everyone would think that they were riffing on Matrix's slow motion stuff.

[@Dacho_Shaki]

I always respected Remedy for conceiving original and interesting out of the norm ideas. People can say whatever they want to say about Control, but it is one of the few games that actually felt original in a modern day of gaming.

[@efxnews4776]

From all Remedy games, Control is the best one in my opinion, and the best part is, we just got a small glimpse of the world of Control is like, for example vast majority of the story is tied to things that happen in the background, from the story of the Fayden twins, to the story of the bureau, passing to the oldest house, and then going on in the extra dimensional directions, is like you see the Marvel or DC universe by looking at one single panel of a comic book of a very unknown character, that you don't know anything about, but sure looks really mysterious and it looks cool. Theres so much things going on in the background of Control, the lore alone is insane.

[@kidbonesonline]

In my opinion, nothing compares to the first Max Payne game. That will always be my favorite Remedy title. Can't wait for the remake!

[@alexrivera633]

All max payne games are honestly very good

[@Snowpiercer2]

For me it's the 2nd one

[@MackDaddyVic]

I gotta say Max Payne 1 & 2 are my favorites out of all these. I’d say Alan Wake 2 comes third and then the rest are whatever to me. Max Payne just has a gritty, dark, depressing noir thing going on that just clicks with me. I love the premise so much. He’s a NYC detective, comes home to a his mutilated family, loses his shit, wants to John Wick his way through life and becomes the ultimate slow-mo bullet dodging badass. He’s give no fucks and ain’t taking shit from no one. It’s a simple yet beautiful concept. And the Max Payne games just feel so fuckin good to play. Everything is a recipe that makes my bootyhole tickle.

[@ashtonnix7707]

Remedy shows you don't have to sacrifice gameplay to present a great story. They're also not afraid to have bizarre narratives that are executed so well.

[@Wutangceltics]

Respectfully, control is top 2 and not necessarily number 2

[@kevinr7216]

Who the FK doesn’t like AW2? Shit is a straight up masterpiece and easily could have won GOTY over BG3….and I put 1k hours into BG3 it’s one of my favorites of all time. AW2 however….is in a whooooole different league. It hit my soul and my brain unlike anything ever has in my 25 years of gaming. I am in my 6TH….my freakin 6TH playthrough of this work of art.

[@LethalKicks]

AW2 is amazing quality wise, but for me, it's too slow and with too simple gameplay. I enjoy faster games liek Max Payne much more. Each to their own.

[@kevinb4644]

I was waiting for max payne 3 than realized its a rockstar game lol

[@postdata69]

Great videos! Love your chill style

[@SidPhoenix2211]

My personal ranking: 1. CONTROL (My beloved. One of my favorite combat systems in ANY game. BEAUTIFUL looking and beautifully designed. I love the characters, I LOVE the lore. And I don't always go crazy for lore. I think that just speaks to the quality of the worldbuilding. The story is pretty straightforward, albeit with some paranatural and weird elements. The story is pretty thin wrt character writing, tho. It coasts on cool plots and lore more than genuinely compelling characters. I really hope that Control 2 improved in this regard. Alan Wake 2's character writing gives me hope) 2. ALAN WAKE II (though I think maybe it's a better game than CONTROL, and some ideas and moments absolutely exceed CONTROL (especially the character writing). But CONTROL is simply just closer to my heart. 3. Max Payne 2 (I played this one for the first time like... 6 months ago? And it's crazy just how much fun it still is. I played this one like... 3-4 times. I was impressed by just how much the studio was able to do with what they had at the time) 4. Alan Wake (this ranking doesn't mean it is bad. It actually has a MUCH BETTER story and presentation than MP2. It's just that I'm more likely to, and DID, replay MP2 more than this one. I think that a replay might improve its ranking) 5. Death Rally (played this maybe twice when I was 7. That's it. BIIIIIIG gap of quality between #4 and #5 , ofc)

[@ClaudioLai2000]

Max Payne 1?

[@GeorgeMina124]

Max Payne 3 has much better combat, gunplay and physics than any 3rd person shooter ever made. The combat is so satisfying in Max Payne 3.

[@GeorgeMina124]

Control's gunplay was mediocre and unsatisfying imo. The only good thing about control's gameplay was the destructible environments.

[@MODDED7]

[@tvgamerstan6180]

I was having fun with Quantum Break until I started dying. The checkpoints in that game are atrocious. That made me quit playing it. I don't have the patience to keep replaying the same area over & over again. I enjoyed playing the remastered version of Alan Wake. I need to play Alan Wake 2 next. I got an Xbox 360 in september from my dad and he had a copy of Max Payne 3. I need to play that soon.

[@NOMOREDEI]

Max Payne = GOAT

[@user-ml8tk3on5m]

Tbh max Payne's story felt much greater to me than slo mo, i liked the noir environment

[@Susiruhtinas]

BEST Control (9/10) - This is like combination of best parts from Max Payne 2 and Alan Wake 2, but some things are missing. Overall this game feels most whole. Combat is super fun, story is weird, deep and pretty interesting with a lot of potential. Control 2, might be immediately the best Remedy game if given the time it needs. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (9/10) - Many ways more narrow than og Max Payne. Combat and overall gameplay is much better though. Noir feeling is great, characters and great and comic book story telling just works. This is the game that I have a lot of good memories. Alan Wake II (9/10) - Beyond well made game with great combination of thriller, horror, detective game, action game and a lot of super meta moments. Max Payne (7/10) - Super well made story, great noir feeling and atmosphere. Combat is so good and influential with bullet time. But it is also kinda uneven in many ways. Alan Wake (7/10) - Great story, great rhythm and such potential. Combat though, was pretty weak. WORST I have not yet played Quantum Break, but it is on my "list".

[@HoroJoga]

I agree with the list, I just think you should've analyzed the original Death Rally, since it is a totally different game than its remake (which wasn't made by Remedy btw). The remake is way better though.

[@davidbiro4265]

One of the best game studios in my opinion

[@kingkarrot9304]

I’ve only played the Alan Wake games, now I really wanna play Quantum Break and Control

[@godnamedtay]

Quantum break is ok, control is wayyy better imo

[@efxnews4776]

The thing with Control is this, the best part of the story in this game was actually in the background. =SPOILER ALERT= If you pay attention to what the game is telling you it totally makes sense, Jesse Fayden is basically Jean Grey / Phoenix from the X-Men, and the FBC is basically the X-mansion, but everything from what happen to Jesse and Dylan Fayden as what happens to the entity Polaris, is pretty awesome, the background story of the Fayden twins is similar to Stranger Things story, while the overal story of the FBC and the Hiss x Polaris is something far bigger, a dimensional war that start to take place in the weakest spot of our own dimension, wich is the FBC oldest house. Theres a lot of nordic mythology references in the game like the Board is basically a colective o extra dimensional beings, then you also meet another one that was considered and outcast of the board, at first you fight the thing, but in the DLC the other, offers you help, but this isn't even the most strange part of the game, like i said, theres two extradimensional forces fighting and Jesse, the FBC and even the Board were cought in the middle of this extra dimensional war, altough the Fayden brothers were actually the responsibles for opening the door for this forces. I don't think this story is in fact convoluted, is a very misterious and intriguing story that has far more going on than we realize, but for fans of the remedy shared universe it becomes easy once you see this as an attempt of Remedy to tel a super hero story, and frankly i think they succeded. Frankly i find the story of Control even better than Alan Wake story, while Alan Wake story is much more personal, Control story is bigger and with far more consequence than Alan Wake story, it's potential is vastly superior than AL.

[@pilspolitie171]

But control is affected by Alan's writing. I mean Alan is literally trying to write his escape out of the dark place. He was trying to do this by writing a different story with a different hero. He wrote Jesse to be the hero and he wrote the Hiss Incantation so she had a crisis to go up against so she could hopefully fix everything.

[@alonemax2912]

Alan Wake 2 is great, but it's probably not the best for me, gameplay is just there and it's a downgrade from the first one, the story is incredible, but how they just ended it with a cliffhanger again...I hope in AW3 they will nail the gameplay and conclude the story. MP1 or AW1 are probably the best, they have a mix of everything (gameplay, story, characters).

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

AW2 is too high. You're talking about a HUGELY anticipated release that didn't even make it's budget back, didn't click with so many people. There are things to admire for sure but, in many ways, it's a very "safe" game. Too safe and infused with hand holding, rote character work and dialogue. The appeal and grounded magic of AW1 is conspicuously absent. A convoluted mind fc*k does not a great game make. Control is the superior game, by some distance but top spot should go to AW1 or arguably MP1. MP2 is top 3.

[@efxnews4776]

What you are talking about? Did you play the game to the end? I get that in the begining of the game Jesse basically only has the gun, but at the end you are flying and dashing around trowing stuff with jedi powers, just the enviromental destruction in Control is fkg insane, from all this games is the one with the best gameplay of them all.

[@mtvproductioning9811]

@atecep I thought Control was really boring too. When I got it I thought it had way too many cluttered things in it, the AI was overkill really, and the side missions were sometimes really repetitive and some random. Also having to lose so much energy when you die and then losing so much of it that you can't buy any upgrades or mods is just so frustrating too. Even by the time all abilities were unlocked the game still game me so much trouble no matter what I did. The story too really underperformed in my opinion, because Jesse's brother who she came for doesn't even appear until the end of the story and the way the game ends just doesn't make sense. In Alan Wake the ending was a little cut short but also there were 2 dlc adventures to continue it and they made a sequel, so that kind of works out, but Control just has bad gameplay and story. I noticed building up equipment and abilities and also visual style was more their focus in there than anything else. It took me Assist Mode to even be able to finish it, otherwise I never would have even finished it. The only thing I enjoyed was the Ashtray Maze because of the poets of the fall song. Because they never disappoint, but the game itself did. And after I got all achievements I never played it again. I haven't played A.N but I think I might have enjoyed that better than control.

I could ignore the severely frustrating combat, worst quick-turn in any game ever, other glitches etc. The story and presentation is awesome but it's like the game is pushing me away; it's like dating a super hot girl with serious emotional issues.
