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 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 really, really, desperately wanted him to start it off."
The story borrowed HEAVILY from the King novel "The Dark Half" anyway. Figured there'd be some sort of lawsuit but seems King was in on and ok with it.
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.
