Alan Wake: It will happen again, in another town, a town called Ordinary

Steven King once wrote that nightmares exist outside of logic and there's little fun to be had in explanations. They're antithetical to the poetry of fear. In a horror story the victim keeps asking why, but there can be no explanation and there shouldn't be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest and is what we'll remember in the end. My name is Alan Wake, I'm a writer. -Alan Wake

I hope Remedy adds more variety gameplay/setting/enemy wise

ChunkyLover534692d ago

Did you not play American Nightmare? They had a very good variety. Obviously the setting just circled, but I love anything that has to do with Alan Wake, so it was pretty epic.

Hoping this is a launch title for the Xbox 720, we already know Remedy was working on it. Next E3 is going to be pretty amazing.

Hell yeah, this years was just the calm before the storm. Will be so much to look forward to next year, assuming there isnt a heap of leaks.

I love a good surprise at E3. Just look at Watch Dogs; took everyone by surprise and completely blew us away because of it.

boring. how about less tired repetitive combat and more puzzles/story. it seems like you cannot release a survival horro without having to include mindless combat. fine if it is new and different but it rarely is. it is the reason i never finish these games, yet want to find out how the story ends.

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.

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

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

Knightofelemia387d ago

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? 🙄

Rynxie386d 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.

Rynxie386d ago

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

Asplundh386d 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.
