Noble Press:
It has come to my attention that many gamers did not get the chance to to play Alan Wake. The game just sort of flew under the radar for most gamers, and I feel it’s because of the stiff competition the game faced around it’s launch window.
Among them were:
Modern Warfare 2: Stimulus Package – 4th of May
Lost Planet 2 – 18th of May
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – 18th of May
Red Dead Redemption – 18th of May
Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 23rd of May
Alan Wake was released on May 18 2010, against many well known established gaming companies. It was a new IP surrounded by highly-anticipated sequels. This made it very easy for gamers to overlook at the time. I myself was faced with the same dilemma, which was to walk into my local store and have to make the choice between Rockstar Games’ brand new title Red Dead Redemption, Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy....
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.
Welcome to 2010.
I <3 Alan Wake.
One of my favorite franchises ever, despite American Nightmare not being all that brilliant ;)
Get's repetitive sometimes, but sure amazing game.
I would say good game not great ...the story was good but the gameplay felt bulky and repetitive at times. Also was a little disappointed the story wasn't complete unless you bought extra dlc, but who is ever happy about paying for more dlc
