Alan Wake Rewind Review (Empty Lifebar)

Try to remember the most horrible nightmare you’ve ever had. Remember the sense of relief that you got when you woke up and realized that it was all in your head, that none of it never even happened? Well Alan Wake does not have that luxury. Alan is in a living nightmare that he’s created, and the only way out, is through the light.

The most horrible nightmare I've ever had lasted 25 seconds.

I was stranded in the middle of the ocean barely wading and keeping myself afloat, my injured side bleeding into the water. I am literally the only thing around on the surface when I look around...

...on the surface. Knowing where I am and knowing what's under me, I take a peek underwater. When I poke my head under, the first thing I see is every single massive, razor sharp tooth of a Great White Shark's gaping jaws charging at me.

Then I wake up, my whole body feeling like I've been run over by a Mack truck.

This dream happened over six years ago. I can't remember the one I had last night.

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

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? 🙄

Rynxie429d 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.

Rynxie429d ago

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

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.
