"Overall, I really enjoyed Alan Wake. I did experience a few moments of frustration, but they were [mostly] my own doing more than anything else. I must admit that every time I came across a TV, no matter what was going on around me or outside, I HAD to watch each and every episode of ‘Night Springs’. Fans of The Twilight Zone will instantly recognize the similarities between the two. Each episode lasts a good two and a half to three minutes and are scattered throughout the game. Definitely well worth a moment of your time."
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.
Graphics are very fuzzy and mediocre
Splinter cell looks sharp
Great game with some of the best graphics, story and gameplay this gen. I think Alan Wake has a bright future, trolls^^^^^aside...lol...
Sorry Syn, can't agree with you. Played thru twice ( on second ) and the graphics really are amazing. The weather sim, lighting and physics engine, some of the best this gen. Maybe a case of different tastes, but vast majority of reviewers have all said the same thing...Graphics, game play and story come together in a incredible package....some moments in the game ( environments ) seemed photo-realistic to me....logging encampment, all the various barns and sheds, power station, Dam...all the farm equipment, the level with the town, heck, the deer on the back of that truck...lol...etc...the level of detail was incredible....
have you played it boody? If not, how do you know it is not quite the level it has hyped to be. I actually played it, and definitely think it is as good as hyped to be.
Metacritic rating aside, Alan Wake is on many peoples short list for GOTY.
The game looks good overall, but the little touches aren't there. Look at the heating radiator in the lodge, it seriously looks like a PS1 model with about 25 polygons and no textures.
Seems that they spent a LOT of time on some things, and very little time on others.
It's just a matter of whether or not little things like that bug you or not.
guy, guys! I don't think anybody is saying that this game looks bad lol. Just saying that the game has a few graphical flaws. (Just like every game ever made) I bought a 360 for this game.. but i sold my 360 like 2 months ago.. :( I really would love to play this game.. I fn love to be scared. one day.
