I like starfield, had a couple of hundred hours in it and am waiting for the expansion. I also think videogame stories are gay

I'm only a few missions into lamplighters league and so far I like it. It did immediately crash upon relaunching on my Series S the first time I tried to quick resume though.

I’m trying to get through Alan Wake 1. It’s just not very fun to play. I adored Control, so I definitely want to play 2, but sheesh. 1 feels very clunky in 2023.

So I got the remaster and by my account I'm like 50% through it. The game just doesn't hold up anymore. The combat is not fun, the levels are annoying, but the writing oh man the writing loving owns hard. I think I'll try one more time to power through. After that I'll wait for 2 to hit a sale and watch a recap.

Sounds like AW2 fixes the combat issues of the original and also gives you a lot more options between the two playable characters

I believe the very first Alan Wake had a rocky development, so I'm guessing the sequel is going to better purely because they know what game they were trying to create this time. One with combat that isn't as repetitive I hope.

I want even aware of what kind of game Alan Wake 1 was, but I'm glad I didn't pick it up after absolutely loving Control. Is AW2 more of that vibe, or is it a very different game?

AW2 looks like they're leaning much further into that with a lot more emphasis on horror

With this release will it mean a further track will be available from the Old Gods of Asgard? I certainly hope so.

I've heard people say it's very clearly a tie-in with AW, but I have no idea since I've never played that. I think it did feature a guy at a typewriter in one or two cutscenes.

It's a direct lead into Alan Wake 2. The entire story of AWE is about Control's investigation into the events of the first game and them dispatching an agent to investigate the second game. That agent is a character in Alan Wake 2, as are several other Control characters.

I wasn't into Quantum Break, too much FMV or non-gameplay bullshit between actual gameplay. I'd play it if it got an FPS boost though...

Alan Wake 1 was a massive turd, I just checked, it has an 83 on metacritic lol. I'm sure AW2 is better because it has to be, but I'm sure I still wouldn't like it. Critics do love to walk slowly in short narrative driven games though it seems. e-  sounds like more of the same with nicer graphics.

Alan Wake 2 is very bluntly them looking at people who went "Control would be better if it was just about the weird stuff" and then making a game just about the weird stuff, but they also clearly didn't have a strong idea of how to make the actual combat compelling so they just made something entirely serviceable and then minimized how often you use it compared to their previous games. It's absolutely good if what you want is the Weird Control Stuff With Less Combat but it is disappointing they couldn't find a way to make the actual combat anything but 'good enough.' I like Control better simply because having a cool psychic super protagonist who can fly and has a morphing gun makes the moment to moment gameplay more fun.

If Remedy can't get better at combat then this is what I want from them, but I really wish they'd get better at combat. It's always my least favorite part of their games. It's weird because they're so inventive everywhere else.

I just feel like the combat is the difference between Cool Game and Absolute Classic when it comes to them.
