Xbox-Mag | Alan Wake Review

Xbox-Mag:

Five years ago almost to the day, Remedy quietly announced the development of Alan Wake, a little before E3 2005. The Xbox 360 was not yet on sale, and Microsoft had not signed an exclusive with the creators of Max Payne. The title was promising and we said we could play soon. Half a decade later, the general public is about to commit or not the efforts of a small studio in Finland, which has always maintained that his project was worth the wait. Alan Wake, a best-seller in power or end of a sweet dream, is the question everyone asks. This is the question that we address here.

Well I'm surprised because another review was severely below a 9, so yes, a lot of people didn't see this coming. Best bet is to pick it up and see for yourself, can't wait to play it!

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie3d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie3d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh3d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
