Rely on Horror: The DLC in itself might be a bit of fun, but what it means for gamers down the road is pretty hard to swallow. Also, it doesn't even deliver on it's promise! Will Alan Wake ever get a proper ending?
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
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? 🙄
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.
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
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.
I never bought a single piece of DLC in my life......No joke......Excluding free LBP DLC. :|
While that seems a bit sad from what I was anticipating from the DLC, there's also the sense it's always had of "suspending the mystery" when you consider it's like a TV show. However, that idea in it of itself is disgruntling since hardly any games try to do that.
I loved the game, the atmosphere, the pacing of the story. However I did not like the ending, or the second one. Now they tell me even the third one is lacking.
I can understand that the small team cannot perfect details like facial animation. However everything was the story in the game, and they are afraid to complete it. Any ending would be fine, even an ambiguous one.
spoiler
Don't they show a new book alan wake has written "The Return" where he writes how he got out of the darkness have not played the game but a buddy told when he tried to tell me there's a sequel coming.
What a joke of an article even if it is an opinion piece.
Alan Wake the retail game had a conclusive ending that finished off the 1st Season perfectly.
The 2 DLC episodes simply added to this finale, without spoiling it for anyone, if you enjoyed Alan Wake the you will really enjoy The Writer and it sets it up perfectly for the 2nd series. In my opinion of course.
