I replayed about 7 or so hours of Alan Wake 1 today, and the amount of people saying it's better than AW2 it's just...lol...I forgot how tedious this game is. The Taken are super annoying to fight. They just appear and attack you from all angles. There's no surprise either as the camera annoyingly pans out and shows you they are near you. The game is basically a run through the forest simulator with very little in between. Collectibles are also a lot worse. You have 30 "hidden" crates, and 100 coffee mugs. There's no puzzles or interesting reason for their existence. In Alan Wake 2 all the collectibles, the dolls, the lunch boxes, the evidence, the words, etc. had reasons for existing, and actual lore and story behind them...which, as a Remedy fan I absolutely loved. I still stand by the opinion that Alan Wake 1 is Remedy's worst game. It has a great story, but the game itself is just not good. On the opposite end, I think AW2 is one of their best games, possibly their best. It is a culmination of everything they did well in past games, and more. I'm very excited for the future of their "Universe" and how it all connects. It's a shame if some of you can't see past the "wokeness" as you call it. I personally love the game, and it's probably my GOTY.

Cohhcarnage basically echos what you are saying here

I'm in agreement with what you said and what CohhCarnage has stated.

Mainly because they couldnt make fighting with Taken fun so they basically removed it in AW2, there is not a single real fight with them untill last scene on the beach.

This doesnt automatically make rest of the game good.

AW2 would be much better as just TV series instead trying hard to make game out of it, but i guess as TV series they would actually have to compete with others TV series with actual good plots.

All of the Norse mythology influence and the band and some mental midget decides to Blackwash Saga.

If it upsets HvB then it's for me lol. Companies keep proving they don't need People with his mindset to make it. He's just another whiny MINORITY.

What's funny is "Whining about Woke" OR WaW started with COD and it continues to sell like crazy. Spider Man 2 is "woke". Selling like crazy. Alan Wake 2 is top 3 best looking Games ever made. It's going to sell. Barbie was woke. Spiderverse 2 was "woke". Mario Movie was "woke".

The amount of watering down that has occurred as a result of claiming LITERALLY everything is woke is going to have people reacting to you guys like the crazy dude yelling about how "the Moon is made of cheese" in about a year.

I mean... what does it have to compete with to be your game of the year? It just has to be better than "Sex and the Furry Titty 2: Sins of the City" right??

[Samiel Hydeberg]

Absolutely insane seeing people defend AW2 gameplay as if we didnt have two action/survival horror remakes this year that did it much better.
Collectibles and exploring in AW2 are useless since adaptive difficulty takes care of you no matter the difficulty. So i have no idea why those are praised.

[the big blue]

just a quick question... how about a AVX2 patch, fgs??? how retarded to be not to know that people are still using gen3-4 processors? jeeeez!!!!!

HvB gets cash from being "upset".. you never know just how much he acts it up or if it's a persona he puts on.

Babyface is a bit of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ though.

I do agree with that. It is his job to drum up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for clicks, however. If you have a eyes, a brain and a sense of judgement that isn't ideologically compromised, you can see what he's shown looks... Well... Crap and is clearly trying to push something.

Which is a shame, as I was looking forward to this game, as I'm a fan of the original.

But apparently Remedy wasn't interested in making a game to entertain and instead opted to make a lecture. A boring, pandering lecture..

He is. But even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ can be right from time, to time.

why are people posting that dude. he is vapid turd that tries to stay relevant in a sea of competition by regurgitating everything the other bunch turds repeat in their "content".

how is everyone taking this dude seriously? he lost his cool over a 1 second window asking his pronouns lol.

if you call this "criticism" then no wonder why the entire world is stagnating so fast. panem et circenses. never change npc.

I don't take him seriously. Just like I don't take you seriously. If you can't accept that people don't agree on every point you make and everything you believe in. Then I'm sorry to say, that's a YOU problem.

I for one don't like divisive American politics in every, single, solitary game that I play. So I'll call it out, move on and play something else. Or in Starfields case? Mod it out
