History YMMV / Breakdown

* WhatAnIdiot: Whatever organization is sending armed soldiers, and all forms of heavy ordinance to try and destroy you, the best hope of stopping the T'lan threat, and placing the warrant for your death ''above'' the very T'lan that are a threat to all humanity, save perhaps Solus, has to be populated entirely by absolute winners of the Darwin Award because the T'lan clearly either don't know or care about their efforts and intend on eradicating mankind without exception. To highlight just how stupid this is, they also kill innocent researchers and anyone aligned with you at all, while acting like complete assholes about it and rubbing it in your face when they get one up on you. [[LaserGuidedKarma Then they get slaughtered by you and/or the T'lan.]]

* CatharsisFactor: It is extremely satisfying to see Jeff kick the shot out of Earl, after Earl spent the entire film [[KickTheDog being a spiteful]], [[EvilIsPetty petty]], [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritical]] {{Jerkass}}. And it is even more satisfying to see [[spoiler:Earl get his brains blown out by Sheriff Boyd.]]

* ScrappyMechanic: The overly in-depth way of interacting with things can be a pain. Want to drink a soda for health? Press X to hold out your hand, X again to grab the soda, and X ''again'' to actually drink it.

** The voice acting is, as per Namco standard, cheese incarnate. Nothing quite like sucker punching a soldier as he shouts dramatically, "'''''MOTHER OF CHRIST!'''''"

** A certain character ends up taking a fatal fall in a cutscene - before standing up like nothing happened, feeling the back of her head as she realizes her skull and brains were caved in, and then giving dramatic death groans as she collapses again and expires shortly thereafter. Derrick just stands there with no reaction [[spoiler: until the second run, where saving her is a pivotal moment in changing the timeline.]]

The movie:

The game:

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: After waking up in the future, Derrick must make his way to Ogawa's lab to receive an injection that will allow him to kill Solus and destroy Nexus in the past. Just as he's about to inject Derrick, T'lan break in, causing Ogawa to drop the syringe into a nearby grate. Alex holds them off while you scramble to retrieve the syringe. When you finally get it and inject it into yourself, power surges through Derrick as heroic music begins to play, and he bursts up out of the grate like Superman and proceeds to absolutely curb-stomp the T'lan.]]

** There's nothing quite like watching your character vomit (twice) into a toilet from his eyes.

* NauseaFuel: Even if first-person shooters don't usually give you headaches or upset your stomach, this one might.

* CompleteMonster: The four kidnappers, especially Red. Especially when it is revealed that [[spoiler: they have done this dozens of times before, killing innocent travelers and taking whatever goods and money they had, essentially making them serial killers]].

* CompleteMonster: Earl, in M.C. Gainey's own words "There's nothing redeemable about that guy"
