Quantum Break

Quantum Break is a 2016 third-person shooter that has a tv show tie in. That being said, the game was actually pretty good. You play as this guy named Jack Joyce who spends most of the game misunderstanding how time travel works. He has a brother that is much older than him named William who figured out how to travel through time way back in 1999, then some shit happens that to talk about would ruin the game. The non-game part of Quantum Break deals with the results of various choices you made during gameplay. These choices actually change how the live action storyline gets shown to you. There are even little incidental things that don't matter, such as having an audio book play on the enemies communications in game will have it mentioned during the show immediately after you complete the act. I do feel like you actions should have had more of an impact on the story as a whole, but I understand that asking for that ammount of effort would be ridiculous. The whole story takes place over a weekend, except for time travel shenanigans. Those are different though. Because if you travel to the past to change something, then you have already done that thing you went to do. It either didn't work, and nothing changed, or you failed so tough shit. Also the whole relationship between two of the characters (Jack and Beth) should have been more fleshed out. It seemed like they cared for each other, but again the story takes place over about 36 hours. So they barely knew each other. On screen anyway. The live action parts focus more on all of the other characters. Anyway the point I am trying to make is that time travel doesn't work that way, except when it does. But if it did then it wouldn't have worked that way in the first place. Except when it did? Screw it. Play the game its pretty fun.

Requested by future me.
