This is such a rich game. The locale is painstakingly realized.

>Barry is best bro

He's annoying as fuck and poorly written. Other than that though Alan Wake is a great game, massively underrated.

>annoying
He's in over his head and a greedy bastard but his loyalty is Al is still stronger than either of those feelings. He's a good guy.

(((They))) did Bright Falls.
Spread the word.

Yeah I love Alan Wake bro, you hit the nail on the head. Complaints about the repetitive gameplay are legitimate, but I was honestly so caught up in the story and atmosphere I didn't even mind.

Some really cool and dynamic spooks could emerge naturally when you turned the camera around into a taken in front of you. Very cool standalone expansion too, nail gun best gun.

I agree with the complaints that its repetitive, but there are enough breaks and non combat areas in just the right places. Its the only reason i havent sold my xbox

Simple as it was, the gameplay was highly effective at tension building in a fight.
Mashing the button to reload all of these single cartridge loading weapons faster was an excellent touch. I also really like Alan's dodge for some reason. It's half duck, half stumble and it just works for my brain.

Duh it was in production for like TEN years.

It's really quite a treat on PC. I really hope they get the silences to put it on Steam back.
The bonus materials include everything from the soundtrack and making of vidocs to extended story comics, the entire game's screen play, and even the fuck sheet music.

The biggest sin of all is that it ends on a cliffhanger that'll never get resolved and Remedy instead made the incredibly mediocre Quantum Break aka the most forgettable game ever made.

Oh man is it really that bad? I was planning to play it once I finish up American Nightmare.

>>388928014
Did you not play American Nightmare?

>>388927080
Agreed, this is one of my favourite games. I'm still so fucking pissed they scrapped season 2.

I remember when I was staying at my dad's place and he, being a long time King fan, bought a used copy of it for his xbox somewhere and brought it home. We spent the entire night playing it and enjoying the hell out of it. Good times. Bought it for myself as soon as PC version appeared.

No but I will be writing a review that will go in the best place it possibly can. My Steam page where no one will ever see it; as god intended.

>that painting in the window

Reinstalling. Should I play with keyboard + mouse or a controller? Also, is American Nightmare worth the install, too? I figured I'd play it after finishing the main game and never did finish the main game.

>>388928202
Its not bad, its just average and forgettable. It has some good moments but its overall just very bland, like watching a forgettable TV show, like a Fringe rip off. It doesn't have nearly as interesting an atmosphere or characters as their previous games, definitely a step down. That said if you like time travel stories and liked Remedy's previous games, I'd say its worth checking out because you might get something out of it.

>>388928240
that wasn't a conclusion to the storyline though, it was just a spin off game meant to lead into Alan Wake 2, but it got cancelled

The thing that really sucks is that the live action parts are only available for streaming at 720p, which is just retarded

But it's linear and has poor gameplay. Looks amazing, story holds up until near the end when it gets a bit ridiculous. Originally it was planned to be more open but I guess that didn't quite work.

I'd like a sequel but I'm not in rush to get one.

Honestly, my dude.
And even then, explore what? Where doesn't the game take you that you so badly want to go?

Guarantee you if they could have gotten Microsoft to fork over the money for it they would have preferred to do Alan Wake 2 over Quantum Break, but it didn't do well enough so they did what would get them a paycheck.

>>388928890
Man the basics of the combat was so good, I loved the flow of dodging, draining shields, flashing just to stun so you can get some distance and shooting. I wish they had just developed it a little more.
