I've read some reviews where people said the videos break the immersion but for me it added to it. It made me feel like I was controlling a character from a show. I loved the whole video aspect.
Last night I thought about how they could make the game better and I couldn't really think of anything. For some reason however the game is just not that gripping. It's good but it's missing that x-factor. I started Wolfenstein: The New Order yesterday and it had that x-factor. It was gripping from the start..
Which makes me think that the problem with Quantum Break may be to do with pacing. And not so much due to the videos but rather the actual gameplay.
