Barry made the game for me[/QUOTE]
Him and the Old Gods better be in the next game or so help me I will riot
Just started playing this, finished the first chapter, very impressed.
The cinematic close ups to enemies made this game from being one of my favorites to just being annoying as shit.
If that wasnt in it the game would have been a pretty damn good horror game, but those close ups while slowing down time just ruins it.
They had everything else right, and the PC port is fucking top notch and the combat was a shitload of fun and the game was great and unique.
I wish there was an option or a mod to make the game never do that shitty slowed time cinematic close up when enemies spawned, because the times it didnt and enemies just ambushed me was actually tense and fun.
I loved this game. I admit the gameplay got repetitive, but I was too engrossed in the atmosphere and the story to care. Sam Lake and Remedy are brilliant at building their worlds and making them alive. Here's hoping the next game will improve upon the action and keep the story up to par.
honestly i wouldn't mind visiting an eldritch world for half a game. even if it's an hallucination.
i don't think any modern game so far has really embodied an eldritch world.
i'm not talking about an eldritch location, like amnesia, i'm talking alien geometries of staggering magnitude spiraling above you in every direction being the standard scenery.
wandering around a world like that as a normal decent character like alan wake would be fucking awesome. the commentary from alan could be really cool because just the sight of the place sorta would drive him up a wall, so his normal soliloquies (holy shit i spelled that right the first time) would be disturbed. naturally this is a world of inconceivable proportions so intricate they'd unravel your head if you even began to comprehend it.
if anyone has actually read some of HP lovecraft's stories where he intimately describes the locations in his very vauge yet stirring way are magnificent, and with current technology could be replicated beautifully. i could actually see the story "Dagon" fitting into this game, there is a giant lake. [B]THAT'S[/B] probably the one environment i would like to see replicated in a video game.
i think the only game that comes kinda close to doing something like this would be zeno clash. but even then that was all colorful and shit, as fucked up as the game was.
don't speak of that muddy garbage of a shit port of an already shit game.

The call of cthulhu game was pretty good tho, for the first half of it

that alan should visit cthulhu dimension. and alan's trademark personal running commentary would get all fucked because he couldn't really even comprehend the world around him

it shouldn't make sense because i'm talking about something that was created for the sole purpose of not making sense.

No, that sounds really dumb actually, because that has nothing to do with Alan Wake.
Alan Wake is pretty much the Evil Dead 2 except its a video game and inspired from Stephen King.
Not some Lovecraft shit.

I think you just don't know how to speak. HP Lovecraft is at least legible.
guess where stephen king drew most of his inspiration...
and there are homages to lovecraft in the game. the police dude even calls you that once iirc.

plus from what i hear the expansions are pretty lovecrafty.

if it's about legibility then it must be a problem with your eyes because my penmanship is as good as this font allows..
I just bought it from GOG. I'm very early into the game, game looks amazing although the face animations are a bit funny.
