[Tomi]

This game is goty contender

 

[Chuck Berry]

The Silent Hill 2 of the new gen

Didnt think Id be spending $200 on games within a week but here we are

Fuck I hate this hobby

 

[Thaedolus]

Seems like news of the death of PCs was exaggerated. And I should go back and play the first game, which I never finished on X360 but have on epic game store

 

[SCB3]

So decisions, PS5 or push my PC, I have a 6650xt and a 5600x with 32gb DDR4 RAM, should be decent enough for 1080p 60fps I think

I did buy it on EGS, they have a decent refund policy so always worth a try I guess, I never had a issue with Control on my older PC setup when that was released so hoping for the same kinda optimisation here

Another GOTY contender enters the ring, 2023 man, fucking 2023

Yea I've spent so much so far this quarter

• Starfield
• Baldurs Gate 3
• MK1
• Armored Core
• FC24
• Lies of P
• Sonic Superstars
• Spiderman 2
• Mario Wonder
• MGS Master Collection
• Super Mario RPG

At least AC Mirage was on Ubisoft+ so was fairly cheap

Been a great year for games though!

[DryvBy]

Sadly I won't get to play this until a physical copy releases or the digital copy drops big time. I don't pay over $30 for digital stuff.

 

[Filben]

I've read somewhere that this time Remedy added full and proper DualSense support to the PC version. If this is true (why is it so hard to get official news on this topic?) I'll probably go for the PC version that'll be running with an RTX 3080.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Thanks for yet another topic cormack12 !

 

[Thaedolus]

Being weird/unique is what makes Remedy games fuckin cool man.

 

[acm2000]

Wait....is there actual FMV in this?

have you never played a remedy game?

quantum break had like 5 full length tv episodes in it

 

[SonicVolcano]

Is it necessary to have played the first game before jumping into this? Story-wise? I read the information in the OP. Will that be enough? The first game is horribly outdated and I didn't like the controls.

woke up this morning with no intention of buying it, seeing the DF PS5 review, this tweet and the fact its £33 on GMG ive just bought it.

does Epic Game Store not allow pre loading?

Why not watch story recap on youtube then?

 

[Diseased Yak]

Sam Lake himself gives a good recap.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

I'm glad the game has been well received as I have been a fan of the studio and franchise since the beginning. Owning almost every Remedy release to date. A good reception and strong sales will ensure Remedy's survival. With that being said, I am genuinely astounded that barely any reviewers seem to take issue with the heavily reduced screen time of Alan Wake in the new game. The character split is close to 50-50; why Remedy even called this Alan Wake 2 is surprising. I'll bet Remedy wouldn't release a new Max Payne game with 50-50 split protagonists. I also believe that Saga Andersson, as a character, used to be a white FBI agent, not black. I really hate this unnecessary race-swapping of existing characters, just introduce a new character if you want to go with someone different. It's no big deal. Lastly, why the fuck is the game a digital-only release? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Amazing, thanks!

Lastly, why the fuck is the game a digital-only release? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

The main point was it helped keep the price lower for release supposedly.

Alan Wake 2 is digital-only because it gives Remedy "more time to polish"

As we learned in May, from an FAQ provided by developer Remedy, Alan Wake 2 will only have a digital release when it la…

Well you've sold me.

 

[shubik]

I will be a reasonable person. I will finish Spiderman 2 and after that, I will buy this. Although I have to say, that this looks absolutely phenomenal. Tempting to buy it tomorrow.... I even have a day of...

DONE! I'll be on PS5 tomorrow FUCK YEA.

 

[Diseased Yak]

I am so beyond hyped for this game. I've watched extensive lore dives, I've played every game that touches the whole Remedy universe, in some cases multiple times.

This unlocks for my timezone here in the Central USA at 11:00pm... Not gonna sleep tonight.

 

[Bartski]

HYPE! Diving in right after work tomorrow.
