The fact that until dawn came out years ago and everyone still talks about it shows the impact of a great game for a game company I love everything these guys have to offer even if my standards are kinda high in my opinion nothing will beat until dawn but I’m always happy to play a new game from them this one has me excited and the next dark pictures of course
@@cardrop33 Hardly. I've got a fairly vast collection of games on over 8 tbs and 20+ years of hard copies. I however havent even heard of the devs for this or until dawn.
Until dawn was the all time favorite 2 am game with my roommates in college. Having a crew of hammered dudes get half the characters killed in an hour was hilarious
Wasn’t too huge on Dark Pictures, though House of Ashes was an improvement on the previous two. Absolutely loved Until Dawn, and if I’m getting more like that I’m all for it
As someone who really enjoyed Until Dawn,I agree about Man of Medan and Little Hope being average and not great.But I really liked House of Ashes and thought that one was good!I’m glad that one was a step in the right direction for the Dark Pictures despite having nothing to do with the Quarry and Until Dawn and I’m so excited for the Quarry and can’t wait to play it!
i personally really loved how fast and "out of nowhere" the until dawn QTE's were. quite a few times where i was like "oh crap, my character couldve died.." and it really made me feel immersed with the danger and how even if i was a split second later i couldve lost them
What I really like about games like this are their replay value. You can make different decisions that drastically alter how it plays out. Watching someone else do a playthrough is okay, but understand that the decision-making changes how the story plays out a LOT.
@@rickmortyson4861 it's not for everyone. I loved games like this. Fahrenheit, Until Dawn, Detroit, etc. There's one for Nintendo DS, Hotel Dusk 215 and the sequel was Last Window. That one for the DS is fun for me, it has puzzles, and it's very story-driven.
I appreciate the simplified QTEs from an accessibility standpoint but I wish there was an option for more complex ones. Seems less engaging than what the genre usually brings. Still excited to play it though.
Yeah the qte are all analog stick pretty much with an occasional button mash I was hoping for until dawn style qte where you had to be quick with it and careful
@@dukenukeman how do you successfully do the qte? Just started the game today and I keep failing it. I'm choosing the right direction with the left analog stick but I keep failing.

I don't really trust big companies opinions. And content creators. That's hilarious. They're all too hard on video games. I'd rather play them and enjoy them than don't because some geek on UA-cam said it's trash.
@@helloworld2784 That’s why I’ve been holding off judgement on Sonic Frontiers. People are bitching for literally no reason other than to do it, or make money from negativity.
the fact that steam remote play allows me to play with my friend on the other side of the country seamlessly has made me like the games significantly more. nothing is more fun than watching your friend deliberate over life ending choices when you know whats gonna happen. gonna play through it with him overnight cant wait
Only into chapter 4 right now, I'm loving the location and characters. But I agree the qte's are EXTREMELY easy. I mean in until dawn it was pretty easy to miss a few. I haven't even come close to missing them here. You seriously have enough tim to hit a wrong button and then readjust and hit the right one before the time runs out. I do like that hold breath mechanic though. But overall I love this genre of game and am having a lot of fun. I hope they fix facial animations in future patches though. The blonde girl has the strangest lip movements and it's so jarring.
@@malikcalloway7572 thanks I didn't actually look into that yet. I wanted to experience one playthorugh with standard settings. I just loved the until Dawn qtes. They seemed sudden and more difficult
I have played Until Dawn when it first came out on PS4 I've beat it buch of times I still have it its my favorite horror game I just Bought The Quarry so far I love it I'm on part 1
I really enjoyed Until Dawn, I'm sure I'll enjoy this one. These games are very narrative focused and I won't expect any action gameplaywise, they're more like a Telltale game in that regard and they really nail that formula. For an action kind of experience I think Alan Wake was one of the best games out there, it has moments when you are just walking around discovering the lore and the characters with strong narrative and artistic direction combined with good old shooting combat with a unique twist.
I think I'm in the minority when it comes to UD. Forgive me if I'm wrong. But half the game was focused on this Prank by Mr. Robot and the other half was focused on the Supernatural. IDK to me to just didn't mesh the right way and I've play it at least 3 times making different decisions
@@aaroncarroll2417 It's true, not a deep story, but I enjoyed it regardless because it was well executed. Good acting and directing make the difference even if the script is shallow and somewhat predictable.
oh my god this game looks breathtaking I don't think I ever saw facials expressions so accurate to real life in a game even down to some micro expressions
Tips for the “Don’t breathe” sections of the game. Holding your breathe until the timer runs out results in the same way as you letting go too early. You can’t hold your breathe forever because your character will gasp for air and you’ll be caught. So make sure you release when that red light disappears and before the timer runs out!
Love hopping on UA-cam to see the new gameranx video. every time there’s a game I am interested in I always hop on here searching for a before you buy I love this series and all the stuff this channel makes it’s a good community too and the team are great
So after years I just finished this game. One thing I couldn't stop thinking about is, how everything could be avoided if the whole group just went to sleep in the mini van or the lodge. No noise, no werewolves, wakeup in the morning and leave.
I’m totally here for the story and characters! In the previous games I was mostly indifferent with most of the characters so hopefully now I’ll actually care about them!
Supermassive games got amazing horror games. Even The Dark Pictures Anthology's latest was super amazing 'House Of Ashes'. I have high hopes for this game :D
The only dark pictures anthology game I liked a lot was little hope. Both the characters and the story were amazing. Man of medan was extremely forgettable and the story was bad and House of ashes also was bad when it came to story.
@@beebeecee669 honestly starting to change my opinion, i recently bought a game for 80 dollars and I think its extremely fairly priced, this isn't some app store game its a whole other piece of technology.
I've played the first two Dark Pictures games, liked them well enough, but Until Dawn was amazing. I'm a few chapters into The Quarry so far and loving it. The cast is great so far and the dialogue feels much improved from previous games, where it just felt so awkward so often. Justice Smith in particular is absolutely killing it, and Brenda Song's great too (thank god there's someone in this group who actually respects guns for once and doesn't treat them like a toy). My only complaint with the game so far is that I can't find any meters that show characters' dispositions toward each other like all the previous games. I don't remember it mattering too much beyond the occasional alternate outcome for a scene, but I still miss it. Other than that, the game's a blast. Oh also, I love the dude in the tutorial videos. Great Rod Serling impression there.
@@dr.coomer9750 I hear that a lot! I started it but I only barely got past the prologue scene. It really didn't grab my interest well at all, but since I enjoy all their other stuff, I'm definitely going to give it another go sometime. Especially before the 4th part comes out.
Here’s my biggest complaint. The game is $60 on current gen and $70 on next gen. For a game that’s only 10 hours, that is WAY too much. Imo it should be $30 and hopefully enough people don’t buy the game to the point where 2K will lower the cost of it, but knowing 2K and take-two, I doubt they will
For me this is definitely gonna be a “watch a let’s play” game. I don’t think there’s actually enough “game” for me to bother playing it by myself without having a third party’s input.
@@justingreenwald1916 he'd prefer to watch a video of someone else playing it (these are often called "let's play" videos) rather than buying it and playing it himself. So that's what he meant by "it looks like a 'watch a let's play' game"
I just bought the game and started playing yesterday and I really like it. I played for 8 hours straight in my first sitting. I’ve got 3 chapters left to go and I’m probably going to immediately start a replay because I’m curious about the other endings
Coming back to this vid now I've finished the game - my only annoyance is the addition of an over the shoulder camera, and I'm sad to see they've retrofitted Until Dawn with it as well. At best it's immersive but spinning that camera around in tight spaces made the game a lot less cinematic and it also made navigating places a bit of a chore. I would waste time walking up to locked doors because there wasn't a fixed camera angle guiding me in a certain direction.
Cool to see Ted Raimi in there as the cop, i wonder what other older era horror actors are involved, especially as Jake states these interactions are some of the best parts.
This is better then IGN…this is one of the few channels I get a REAL review that’s isn’t too far off from the experiences you get from the actual game I litterally check here before I download anything new
I loved the Quarry. I'm a huge fan of branching story games, campy 80's horror, and Until Dawn is one of my top games of all time. However, since I got into a lot of these types of games young, I usually didn't get to actually play them until years after I'd first discovered them (lack of money and my mother's unwillingness to get me a console). Meaning I'd already memorized the ins and outs of all the possible choices you could make. Getting to play the Quarry blind... oh man, did I have a blast. The characters were fun and while they played into certain tropes, I didn't find them one dimensional or unlikable. I actually thought they were pretty fleshed out and I'm attached to all of them... well. Almost all. There was one character who was taken out of the plot pretty early on, and wasn't particularly distinct before that, so I didn't walk away attached to them at all. Which wasn't the case for any of the Until Dawn characters who made it past the prologue. But aside from that one character, I thought everyone was great. I either really liked or really hated them. I was surprised with how endeared I was to a certain very minor antagonist LMAO. On the horror end of things, I wasn't super freaked out by much of anything. There were some tense scenes for sure, but I think the only time my heart genuinely skipped a beat was when an motion sensor light turned on at one point. Reminds me of how the Until Dawn moment that always got me the most was that like... wild animal jumping out of the cabinet at Chris. Lmao. The designs for the monsters were cool, but I wish they were a little more distinct, if that makes sense? Like they don't really look at all like the cultural idea of the monsters they're supposed to be, and I get that they want to be distinct, but I feel like they leaned a little too far away from convention here. Still, that's a minor nitpick, and I think that overall they were pretty good. (Also, since I know some people read fast, I'm adding here that the paragraph after the next one has some minor spoilers about allocation of playtime.) I agree the pacing was good, although there was one chapter that felt a little unbalanced and like it dragged in places. Still, when you're on a second playthrough and know where to find things/about how much longer you're gonna be in the segment, it's not nearly as bad. I also wish that the playtime was distributed a little differently? Once again, there are some spoilers in the next paragraph, since I have no idea how to say this without spoiling. You've been warned. I wish Ryan gave Kaitlyn like. A tiny bit of his playtime. According to achievements, Kaitlyn is supposed to be the final girl to Ryan's final boy, but I feel like Kaitlyn got the least playtime in the first two chapters of exposition, and then Ryan got significantly more playtime than her in the final chapters. Just... a tiny evening of the scales would be nice. Additionally, I wish Abigail took a bit more of an active role in things? She was much more of a reactive character throughout the game, and I feel like she didn't really have to be? Whereas with Nick and Max I got why, for plot reasons, they didn't do too much, Abi absolutely could have done more. But overall, distribution was good. Overall, I think I was the target audience for this game, and I absolutely loved it. 10/10, already one of my favorite games of all time. I can't say whether it surpasses Until Dawn in my rankings, since that game is drenched in nostalgia for me, and this one has the shiny coating of novelty, but I will say that I'm glad I got to enjoy them both. Definitely recommend this one for fans of UD who liked it for the campy horror tropiness or the goofy dialogue (if those things bothered you, maybe just watch a let's play, lmao), or for people who enjoy stuff like that in general.
Personally I was drawn more towards the quarry’s plot but wished it was just as elaborate as until dawn. Would’ve been interesting to play as the characters more, ESPECIALLY if some of them get infected!
I really love this style of game to watch people play, I don’t necessarily like playing them myself because the choice making would keep me constantly fuelled by anxiety of did i make the right choice, will someone die now I made that choice.
day 2 of me saying: Did you know that if you enter a cab in gta5 and fast travel without having enough to pay for the cab fare the cab driver will drop you off at the police station and you'll get a 2 star wanted level.
Just got the platinum today. About 3.5 play through. Love the game and the different branching paths are so worth it. Just had something really unexpected happen in chapter 10 based on earlier choices I made. I am a big fan of all their games until dawn and house of ashes especially. This ranks right up there with them
It’s already been pre-ordered and I’m excited to jump into it on Friday until Dawn is pretty much one of my all-time favourite games and the dark pictures anthology is really enjoyable too - I recently got the platinum trophy for UD and I still want to play it again - I expect the quarry will be the same for me
Telltale: [he'll remember that] (he'll smirk at the end of the game instead of being stoic) Supermassive Games: [picked up twig] (you have just sealed the fate of that character and if you don't find the pinecone and go left instead of right with the next character, you have doomed 3 other characters and changed the entire outcome of the rest of the game. Enjoy this playthrough and see what happens next time you don't pick up the twig.)
Compared to until dawn I argue this cast over all is way more likable especially whe. You consider how many of your playable characters in until dawn went along with that bad prank in the beginning but in the quarry you're able to develop a good and fair connection with your characters and then you decide if they're good...or just a jacob!
Supermassive never let us down 👌🏿🔥, gonna be two bangers this year, "The Quarry" and then "The Devil In Me" to close off season 1 of the Dark Pictures Anthology
Definitely gonna pick it up. You saying it being lighter in horror is good. I haven’t played a horror game in some time. And then maybe go and play Until Dawn if i like it. The multiplayer stuff also sounds promising.
@ANOTHER LOST ACCOUNT How about this, this game is horrible don’t buy it play it or even touch it or look at it. It’s horrible last of us is a much better game. Safe to say I lost my job 😡
Before you buy….people just Remember it is one man’s “opinion” and his gaming taste may not necessarily match yours. So what ever he may not like about it may not be a reason not to for you. A lot of the time it’s nitpicking. Watch a gameplay video. Decide if you like it to buy. But don’t listen to someone’s reason not to buy some you want to experience. They already have
My only issue with these games is that they sell for full retail prices and this game is only 10 hours if you’re fast and its not worth $80CAN on first release. I’m excited to play this but imo I’m not into replaying a game like this over and over. So I’ll wait till it drops to $65 maybe $49.99 around Christmas to buy it but hopefully soon
I'm glad they changed the QTEs to be more forgiving. When I played Man of Medan, it was horrible to die because I missed one button or was too late. Honestly no one should be going in blind to this game considering there's been like FOUR games made exactly the same way by the same company.
I wish they had used the don't move sequences from until dawn, those sequences were tense even when repeating, holding a button to hold your breath sounds and feels so unimpactful.
Ugh I wanna watch this but I don’t want spoilers or anything! I’ve been staying away from ANYTHING involving this. I JUST beat House of Ashes and Little Hope this week. Until Dawn and Man of Medan I beat years ago and I really loved them all!!!
On PC if you are having troubles with loading cutscenes which can cause freezes which causes audio desync with them. It's the 2K launcher that cause it. The solution is to create a shortcut on your desktop to run the app directly. On steam it's found in the folder for the Quarry in your Steam Apps- common it's the one titled The Quarry that is show directly in the main folder. It completely bypasses the shitty 2K launcher. The difference between launching it from the launcher and by running the game directly bypassing it are night and day. I really don't understand why game developers have to make game launchers. There is no need for it. Steam does everything with the game it updates it. So why have it?
I love these games with my girlfriend actually her first time staying at my place we played until dawn to completion. We've played the dark anthology and were hype for this one.
As a huge horror fan, I really wanna like these games - but I just don’t get what is fun about them; they’re not scary, theirs no way of winning or losing (and therefore not a game by definition) and the choices you make really don’t matter as you’ll never know the alternative unless you play it again and select different options
Love you guys but a HUGE draw back to this game is the cut scenes. I’m not kidding when I say every single cut scene lags or freezes. It’s really making it difficult to enjoy this game. I’m on PC with a 3070 and there’s no reason for this to be happening outside of rushing the release date. I’ve played all of Super Massive games and this is honestly embarrassing. If you’re gonna make a before you buy at least bring up the issue.
I finished this game this morning . this game does NOT touch Until Dawn.. but the dialogue was just so so bad in my opinion. I almost wanted to quit the game half way through cus it was just THAT bad.
I still don't get how these guys haven't made a Final Destination game yet. They are the PERFECT developers to do it

The best part of the Dark Pictures was the fact that it was Co-op. One of those game series that's really fun to watch other people play.

There were a couple of times I just straight up failed a QTE because im awful lol. I ended the game with only like 2 characters left

The cast is great so far and the dialogue feels much improved from previous games, where it just felt so awkward so often. Justice Smith in particular is absolutely killing it, and Brenda Song's great too (thank god there's someone in this group who actually respects guns for once and doesn't treat them like a toy). My only complaint with the game so far is that I can't find any meters that show characters' dispositions toward each other like all the previous games. I don't remember it mattering too much beyond the occasional alternate outcome for a scene, but I still miss it. Other than that, the game's a blast.
Oh also, I love the dude in the tutorial videos. Great Rod Serling impression there.
House of Ashes was the best Dark Pictures game by far, I highly suggest picking that one up too if you like this kinda thing.
@@dr.coomer9750 I hear that a lot! I started it but I only barely got past the prologue scene. It really didn't grab my interest well at all, but since I enjoy all their other stuff, I'm definitely going to give it another go sometime. Especially before the 4th part comes out.
Here’s my biggest complaint. The game is $60 on current gen and $70 on next gen. For a game that’s only 10 hours, that is WAY too much. Imo it should be $30 and hopefully enough people don’t buy the game to the point where 2K will lower the cost of it, but knowing 2K and take-two, I doubt they will
$40 will be the correct price point
For me this is definitely gonna be a “watch a let’s play” game. I don’t think there’s actually enough “game” for me to bother playing it by myself without having a third party’s input.
👍🏼👌🏼
I respect your opinion, but I’d think you’ll truly miss out on one of the most replayable games this year.
I don’t know how you even understood what that meant🤔 a watch let’s play game????
@@justingreenwald1916 he'd prefer to watch a video of someone else playing it (these are often called "let's play" videos) rather than buying it and playing it himself. So that's what he meant by "it looks like a 'watch a let's play' game"
I went back and played Until Dawn recently and they have really come a long way since then with the facial animations.
I just bought the game and started playing yesterday and I really like it. I played for 8 hours straight in my first sitting. I’ve got 3 chapters left to go and I’m probably going to immediately start a replay because I’m curious about the other endings
Coming back to this vid now I've finished the game - my only annoyance is the addition of an over the shoulder camera, and I'm sad to see they've retrofitted Until Dawn with it as well. At best it's immersive but spinning that camera around in tight spaces made the game a lot less cinematic and it also made navigating places a bit of a chore. I would waste time walking up to locked doors because there wasn't a fixed camera angle guiding me in a certain direction.
I'm waiting till it's on sale, having a hard time dishing out 70 bucks for a game you don't really control and just make decisions.
same
Until Dawn was fantastic game. Been wanting another game like it for a long time but haven't found one that's AS good yet.
Cool to see Ted Raimi in there as the cop, i wonder what other older era horror actors are involved, especially as Jake states these interactions are some of the best parts.
This is better then IGN…this is one of the few channels I get a REAL review that’s isn’t too far off from the experiences you get from the actual game I litterally check here before I download anything new
If youve never played these, theyre interactive movies basically. And theyre fantastic. Have hundreds of different endings.
Can you go back and make different decisions or would you have to start from the beginning?
@@Only1Dizzle you gotta start all over, you get 3 lives in case one of your characters die
Absolutely loved until dawn. I hope this one gives me the same feeling
I loved the Quarry. I'm a huge fan of branching story games, campy 80's horror, and Until Dawn is one of my top games of all time. However, since I got into a lot of these types of games young, I usually didn't get to actually play them until years after I'd first discovered them (lack of money and my mother's unwillingness to get me a console). Meaning I'd already memorized the ins and outs of all the possible choices you could make. Getting to play the Quarry blind... oh man, did I have a blast.
The characters were fun and while they played into certain tropes, I didn't find them one dimensional or unlikable. I actually thought they were pretty fleshed out and I'm attached to all of them... well. Almost all. There was one character who was taken out of the plot pretty early on, and wasn't particularly distinct before that, so I didn't walk away attached to them at all. Which wasn't the case for any of the Until Dawn characters who made it past the prologue. But aside from that one character, I thought everyone was great. I either really liked or really hated them. I was surprised with how endeared I was to a certain very minor antagonist LMAO.
On the horror end of things, I wasn't super freaked out by much of anything. There were some tense scenes for sure, but I think the only time my heart genuinely skipped a beat was when an motion sensor light turned on at one point. Reminds me of how the Until Dawn moment that always got me the most was that like... wild animal jumping out of the cabinet at Chris. Lmao. The designs for the monsters were cool, but I wish they were a little more distinct, if that makes sense? Like they don't really look at all like the cultural idea of the monsters they're supposed to be, and I get that they want to be distinct, but I feel like they leaned a little too far away from convention here. Still, that's a minor nitpick, and I think that overall they were pretty good. (Also, since I know some people read fast, I'm adding here that the paragraph after the next one has some minor spoilers about allocation of playtime.)
I agree the pacing was good, although there was one chapter that felt a little unbalanced and like it dragged in places. Still, when you're on a second playthrough and know where to find things/about how much longer you're gonna be in the segment, it's not nearly as bad. I also wish that the playtime was distributed a little differently? Once again, there are some spoilers in the next paragraph, since I have no idea how to say this without spoiling. You've been warned.
I wish Ryan gave Kaitlyn like. A tiny bit of his playtime. According to achievements, Kaitlyn is supposed to be the final girl to Ryan's final boy, but I feel like Kaitlyn got the least playtime in the first two chapters of exposition, and then Ryan got significantly more playtime than her in the final chapters. Just... a tiny evening of the scales would be nice. Additionally, I wish Abigail took a bit more of an active role in things? She was much more of a reactive character throughout the game, and I feel like she didn't really have to be? Whereas with Nick and Max I got why, for plot reasons, they didn't do too much, Abi absolutely could have done more. But overall, distribution was good.
Overall, I think I was the target audience for this game, and I absolutely loved it. 10/10, already one of my favorite games of all time. I can't say whether it surpasses Until Dawn in my rankings, since that game is drenched in nostalgia for me, and this one has the shiny coating of novelty, but I will say that I'm glad I got to enjoy them both. Definitely recommend this one for fans of UD who liked it for the campy horror tropiness or the goofy dialogue (if those things bothered you, maybe just watch a let's play, lmao), or for people who enjoy stuff like that in general.
Personally I was drawn more towards the quarry’s plot but wished it was just as elaborate as until dawn. Would’ve been interesting to play as the characters more, ESPECIALLY if some of them get infected!
You should’ve made your own video with this entire essay lmao
Not reading allat
TLDR?
@@MyGuidingMoonlight55 It's a pretty good game. Not perfect, but fun.
I really love this style of game to watch people play, I don’t necessarily like playing them myself because the choice making would keep me constantly fuelled by anxiety of did i make the right choice, will someone die now I made that choice.
day 2 of me saying: Did you know that if you enter a cab in gta5 and fast travel without having enough to pay for the cab fare the cab driver will drop you off at the police station and you'll get a 2 star wanted level.
The Mo-Cap, realism, and cast seems pretty strong. Not photo realistic, but also not in the uncanny valley. It's impressive
I'll buy this when it's on sale. I just can't justify 70 dollars for this style of a game.
It's trash anyway
@@dewydcb9864 Exactly lol
It’s on sale on the Xbox store.
It’s on sale 46 dollars
You made the right choice. This is NOT worth 70
This game has an amazing cast, so I may actually pick this up because of them
Just got the platinum today. About 3.5 play through. Love the game and the different branching paths are so worth it. Just had something really unexpected happen in chapter 10 based on earlier choices I made. I am a big fan of all their games until dawn and house of ashes especially. This ranks right up there with them
No tf it doesn't. This game is ass compared to until dawn n house of ashes.
Yeah $129 price tag in Australia, I laughed and kept looking for something else to play.
It’s already been pre-ordered and I’m excited to jump into it on Friday until Dawn is pretty much one of my all-time favourite games and the dark pictures anthology is really enjoyable too - I recently got the platinum trophy for UD and I still want to play it again - I expect the quarry will be the same for me
Telltale: [he'll remember that] (he'll smirk at the end of the game instead of being stoic)
Supermassive Games: [picked up twig] (you have just sealed the fate of that character and if you don't find the pinecone and go left instead of right with the next character, you have doomed 3 other characters and changed the entire outcome of the rest of the game. Enjoy this playthrough and see what happens next time you don't pick up the twig.)
Detroit become human still has the best and most choices in the genre
The wolf among us is really good too.
Detroit become human is just another level one the best game I've ever played.
Before you buy The Quarry

.Buy Until Dawn instead if you already have it buy The Dark Pictures Anthology.
I just really love these kinds of games wish we got more of these especially like Detroit become human
Awesome👍🏼 Was wanting to know what this game is like. I don't usually play these type of games but the trailer really caught my eye.
seems like the perfect game to play while waiting for other hyped games, this year has been great so far!
This is the perfect game to play on downtime waiting for the guys to get on COD and pass a simple HR
@@deepporkchop5527 Cod nowadays is wack as fuck man.
Compared to until dawn I argue this cast over all is way more likable especially whe. You consider how many of your playable characters in until dawn went along with that bad prank in the beginning but in the quarry you're able to develop a good and fair connection with your characters and then you decide if they're good...or just a jacob!
I personally love the facial details when they talk. It really makes it look realistic 🥳👌🔥
just bought the deluxe edition... so of course it's time to watch the 'Before you buy..." as is par for most of us
Here I am, once again, watching this after buying the game 😁
I can’t wait for this game, Until Dawn was just so darn good. Everyone says this is basically Until Dawn, but better. Day 1 purchase for me
Supermassive never let us down 👌🏿🔥, gonna be two bangers this year, "The Quarry" and then "The Devil In Me" to close off season 1 of the Dark Pictures Anthology
I really hope they can correct the eye crossing in a patch. Looks promising.
I knew I was going to pre order this once I saw it was a horror theme cinematography!
TAKE MY MONEY!
Definitely gonna pick it up. You saying it being lighter in horror is good. I haven’t played a horror game in some time. And then maybe go and play Until Dawn if i like it. The multiplayer stuff also sounds promising.
I absolutely love these types of games and I have had this preordered for awhile now. Can’t wait till tomorrow
The quarry is on sale for 10$ on Xbox store, is it worth it chat??
Yes
Bought it 3 days ago after playing the trial and it never gave the full game to me and took my money
Never heard of this game but it looks pretty cool ngl
Nah it's trash
@@sashavenka No it’s the best game I’ve played the cinematic are great and story is awesome better than trash slow last of us
@@sashavenka here's your attention
I don’t mind said shills. Counters all the negativity.
@ANOTHER LOST ACCOUNT How about this, this game is horrible don’t buy it play it or even touch it or look at it. It’s horrible last of us is a much better game.
Safe to say I lost my job 😡
I finished this game yesterday. I agree with you. Some things can be better but it's really good. I enjoyed story from start to finish
this is making me excited for the next dark pictures game which i have been waiting for since house of ashes
👍🏼
Before you buy….people just Remember it is one man’s “opinion” and his gaming taste may not necessarily match yours. So what ever he may not like about it may not be a reason not to for you.
A lot of the time it’s nitpicking. Watch a gameplay video. Decide if you like it to buy. But don’t listen to someone’s reason not to buy some you want to experience. They already have
I'm glad we finally got another choose your own adventure movie. Not enough of them out there imo!
My only issue with these games is that they sell for full retail prices and this game is only 10 hours if you’re fast and its not worth $80CAN on first release. I’m excited to play this but imo I’m not into replaying a game like this over and over. So I’ll wait till it drops to $65 maybe $49.99 around Christmas to buy it but hopefully soon
I'm glad they changed the QTEs to be more forgiving. When I played Man of Medan, it was horrible to die because I missed one button or was too late. Honestly no one should be going in blind to this game considering there's been like FOUR games made exactly the same way by the same company.
They’re “forgiving” in the sense that they hardly exist. The game basically plays itself.
I wish they had used the don't move sequences from until dawn, those sequences were tense even when repeating, holding a button to hold your breath sounds and feels so unimpactful.
I'm really excited for the quarry going to get Friday. It will be my 4th game I play this year.
Ugh I wanna watch this but I don’t want spoilers or anything! I’ve been staying away from ANYTHING involving this. I JUST beat House of Ashes and Little Hope this week. Until Dawn and Man of Medan I beat years ago and I really loved them all!!!
Looking forward to this however I’m not dropping $80 for the experience
On PC if you are having troubles with loading cutscenes which can cause freezes which causes audio desync with them. It's the 2K launcher that cause it. The solution is to create a shortcut on your desktop to run the app directly. On steam it's found in the folder for the Quarry in your Steam Apps- common it's the one titled The Quarry that is show directly in the main folder. It completely bypasses the shitty 2K launcher. The difference between launching it from the launcher and by running the game directly bypassing it are night and day. I really don't understand why game developers have to make game launchers. There is no need for it. Steam does everything with the game it updates it. So why have it?
I love these games with my girlfriend actually her first time staying at my place we played until dawn to completion. We've played the dark anthology and were hype for this one.
As a huge horror fan, I really wanna like these games - but I just don’t get what is fun about them; they’re not scary, theirs no way of winning or losing (and therefore not a game by definition) and the choices you make really don’t matter as you’ll never know the alternative unless you play it again and select different options
Speedrunners: I'm gonna speed run this game.
Read game details: There is 186 different endings.
Speedrunners: Fuck that.
🤣🤣🤣
gonna wait on a sale, wanna play it, but don't feel like paying 70 bucks honestly
i think ill wait for it to come out on a sale
I'll get it when it comes free with Playstation plus. $70 Dollars during a recession is just a hard pill to swallow.
The animations in these games are the most realistic I've seen. Just amazing.
sarcasm?
U jokin?
No, I'm being serious.
@@iyeetsecurity922 idiota
Love you guys but a HUGE draw back to this game is the cut scenes. I’m not kidding when I say every single cut scene lags or freezes. It’s really making it difficult to enjoy this game. I’m on PC with a 3070 and there’s no reason for this to be happening outside of rushing the release date. I’ve played all of Super Massive games and this is honestly embarrassing. If you’re gonna make a before you buy at least bring up the issue.
I loved until dawn. This looks pretty awesome I’m definitely gonna get it
I knew I recognized Brenda Song the minute I saw her character in the game!!
Oooh another, this COULD happen like with the totem pieces?! I LOVED that
I can't wait!!!!! I just started playing Man of Medan for the first time, and I'm loving it. I'm ready for The Quarry babyyyyyy
God bless you Jake Baldino
You know what would have been cool? If the "don't breathe" QTE was mic activated and you had to not get jumpscared
I finished this game this morning . this game does NOT touch Until Dawn.. but the dialogue was just so so bad in my opinion. I almost wanted to quit the game half way through cus it was just THAT bad.
I agree. Jacob and Emma dialog was cringe. The ending had no payoff either
This is a game, My wife and I can play. She loved these kinds, I love horror and gaming. So win win
This why I’m looking at this game. My wife doesn’t like gaming but likes watching me play cinematic games like last of us .
I always like interacting storytelling games like dark picture anthology and supermassive game and telltale. But Still I'll wait for reviews
Quarry can mean a person or thing that is being hunted. The title has a dual meaning!
