Is it ok to buy Alan Wake 2?

[karmazyn1]

I know it's on a different launcher, but I really liked Alan Wake 1 and don't think I can wait until Alan Wake 2 lands on STEAM.

Lol yes, you won't go to hell for buying the game on Epic's store.

[BEEP!]

This probably won't ever touch Steam not at least for years just note the game has problems performance wise ontop if being a very demanding game so look at benchmarks of your gpu but it's a very solid game I'd say if you liked the Resident Evil remakes you'l easily like this game.
Also there are visual bugs such as shadows are most likely broken & the in game AA is bad it shimmers the FSR quality looks better than native.

If you've played Alan Wake 1, you should play Control before playing Alan Wake 2.
(Control has a DLC that sets up Alan Wake 2)

The supposed 'boycott' of Epic has accomplished nothing. Except for making stubborn people wait a year to play the hottest new games. If you're an Alan Wake fan, buy it and enjoy it now. We've been waiting 13 years and there's no good reason to wait any longer.

Why do you need permission to buy it?
I find this rather odd.

Just curious, what other things do you ask permission for?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking you or anything like that.

Like, do you also ask permission to use the computer? Did you ask permission to post this thread?, etc,etc,etc.....

Cool. You have my permission to play the game.

On PC its always best to wait a few after launch. Its never perfect at launch.

I hate Epic, but it seems it's pretty obvious we will need it to play games that never will be here.

He was a ghost the whole time & also, Voldemort is actually Harry Potter.

I hope they wrap they story for good on the DLC, otherwise I guess Alan Wake 3 on 2040 or something.

You can play AW2 without 1 and American Nightmare however you will be missing a LOT.
There are some Youtube videos that do a good job at explaining each but warning the good ones are lengthy but well worth it.
I played 1 and AN earlier this year as a refresher and these games are quite an experience.

Whatever. I consider EGS early access. Let other folks sort out the bugs and crap until the game is really ready to launch on Steam.

Granted, this game may never come to Steam, but then I never thought we'd get a Diablo game on Steam and here we are so...

Patience, good things, those who wait.

I had the same dilemma when Hitman 3 was released on Epic. Many friends helped me make me decide whether it is ok to buy it there. When H3 finally launched pn STEAM it was ridiculously priced. Actually it was cheaper to buy it on epic on release day. I have bough deluxe edition because STEAM standard ver will be priced at 49.99 for sure. So 5 pounds dofference for DLC is ok and I need to know how the story ends.
