But...will it be in that orderAlright, got it preloading on PS5, another monster file at just under 81gb. This weekend will be Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2, Killers of the Flower Moon and fucking my wife, good times
After 25 years of marriage, my wife would just tell me to skip her ten minutes and enjoy my new games

A market disrupter that the very game this thread is about became an exclusive for.

I hope it’s a commercial success for them to boot because then control 2 will get so much funding thrown at it.
Depending on how it looks/performs on the intended high end machines, as well as consoles, they could position themselves as the go to third party developer making industry pushing visuals.
To be honest if this sells well too with such a limited bandwidth to access , then it’ll be time for the calls to buy them out to start. Two back to back bangers with control and now this.
Man I’m so excited to play this tomorrow. My mind is racing to see how they tie back in Control to this. Please set up control 2 with a post credits scene or something.

Metroid is the same game as before, RE4R isn't.

Knew it looked fantastic from the second it was shown. This is the real GOTY. A tightly crafted, story focused, gaming experience with top of the line visuals.

Sure, every genre has its fans, but there is no one-size-fits-all to any game/genre. Never makes sense to me to see that said, or "it's not a perfect game, but".

I mean no there’s no one size fits all. But there is mass appeal vs niche appeal. In every medium. Certain stories and types of games appeal to the broader audiences. For instance - if you have an easy to follow, simple, traditionally structured story with comedy and action - like, let’s say, the avengers movie - that’s going to appeal to A LOT more people than something like David Lynch’s Eraserhead. Does that make Eraserhead a lesser movie than The Avengers? No. But it’s not going to be as highly rated or make as much money - because it’s not “for everyone” to the degree the Avengers is.

Well, yeah, I know... This wasn't meant as a literal argument, but point blank, no game is for everyone.
In other words: "it may not be Mario/CoD", but it's still a great game to pick up and try. Not only is no game for everyone, a game like Alan Wake 2 is aimed at an even smaller section of the population. Thus, it is a nothing (pointless) statement.

Add a circle for the 1 player me: no physical releaseim looking forward to it but had to laugh at it. pc players again get the worst

This is semantics. I wasn’t the one making it literal here. You saying “no game is for everyone” is a no shit statement - obviously no game is literally “for everyone”. But that statement is commonly understood to mean there are some things that are more “for everyone” than others - IE: some games are safer than others. And it’s a scale. Remedy tends to tip more niche ever since Max Payne. Alan Wake especially.

Cool, so what are you continuing to argue then? I gave my piece, you gave yours. We can move on.

The point is these wouldn't be the same games under different leadership.

Who expects good story out of MK games? Also Marvel stories always trash both the movies and in video games.

The reviews largely praised Spider-Man 2’s story as well. So you’ll have to see if you agree with them about Alan Wake II, whereas you didn’t about SM2.

You mean cringe, right?
Because I live in Brazil and today I watched a brazillian marketing video from MK1 on cable TV and was cringe as fuck.

Isn't SM2 more summer blockbuster fair and AW2 highbrow affair?

Highbrow? No.....it's a thriller action adventure game.

A bit more intellectual is what I meant, I know the genre.

Ah....ok. I wouldn't consider either game "highbrow" but I get what you mean now.

Holy shit. Yet another banger. I'm very happy to see that it's as awesome as I hoped it would be.

Alan Wake 1 was exclusive, but the main focus is that Xbox 360 was released to a major success and Sony had major missteps with PS3 early on.

Remedy are quite clever with their writing so I'm expecting some big twists, can't wait now.
