I even downloaded the video using flashget too to see it on VLC and it's still there ,I really hope this is just GB's video capturing/my PC's fault and not the game.

The reactions to the review scores in this thread are surprisingly civil for a exclusive game (Scores are good though, just saying). Good times. Hopefully I can get something Alan Wake under the counter soon so I can take a small break from Halo.

Edit: Ah, now the I SPOTTED TEARING posts are arriving, I was wondering why they were't showing up.. :lol

Even more reason for people like me to be annoyed they cancelled the PC version. No V-Sync.

The Giantbomb QL looks so awesome. And I agree with them on lighting and weather effects looking really great.

Can't wait. :D

Watched the Gametrailers review, the visuals in this game look insane and by their account combat is very solid. Really looking forward to it.

That Ellie chick moaning about driving... does she have no idea of atmosphere and story building? Its an isolated town we see than same in Brightfalls video shorts. Did she play with lights on and sound low?

Id really like to know.

There's building atmosphere, and then there's boring.

French site JV.com mentioned that Alan Wake was taking place in West Virginia...

Since when Bright Fall moved from Washington to West Virginia ?

Really looking forward to getting hold of this. So far I've avoided 99.9% of the information out there for this title and I'm eagerly awaiting my first play through. Just need to find a decent deal on the SE version in the UK.

Awesome OP as usual, BruceLeeRoy.

You must be one of those guys who thinks The Empire Strikes Back is the worst Star Wars movie because it's the most 'boring' one.

Plants vs Zombies on Iphone
Max and the Magic Marker
Dante's Inferno

Maybe my hype level was too high, but I'm dissapointed.

I'll wait for a price drop.

I didn't notice a bad review.

Oh..., I forgot a 7 is considered as "OMFG DO NOT WANT!" these days.


I'll rent the game. Not because of the reviews but because a certain open world western seems more appealing to me. (Also I hate the trend of DLC 'episodes' getting announced before the release of the main game but that's a different story)

Nevertheless I want to play Alan Wake and I'm looking forward to it.

Did you read the review? It didn't sound like a 7/10, it sound like a "4/10 but I can't give it that note"

So what? Metacritic junkies only care about the score anyway...

EDIT: I usually like eurogamer reviews but this one sets a news low for them. The reviewer sounds angry for whatever reason.

I just quoted the reviews off the first three pages. I've now spotted Just Dance on page 4..... and that Ellie also gave that a 7. Blimey!

(Is that better? ;-)

I'm sorry to break this to you, but here on GAF a 7 is a bad review. Just look at the defensive people here trying to defend the game and attacking the reviewer that "dare" to give a 7 to Alan Wake. Pathetic.

Honestly if you want to talk scores for games, a 7 could be good, average or bad depending on the site. A 7 from IGN/Gametrailers is a bad score, a 7 from Eurogamer/GameSpot is average while a 7 from EDGE is a good score.

I'm not worried at all by the 7 given by Eurogamer (I enjoyed lots of games that receive a 7 in EG) but more from the overall reviews by credible sites.

You people are out of your goddamned minds. 88 is an EXCELLENT SCORE. I have no real vested interest in this game, but, people, come on.

Vinny has commented in QLs before that their capture setup often makes clipping issues that aren't in the game.

Take a deep breath dude, your expending energy defending video game scores on the internet, if you like the game and are happy with the scores then that should be enough, although your defensive posts tell me otherwise.

Brad mentioned on the bombcast that "the game tears like a motherfucker"

EDIT: and I guess I should mention that he said he played it at home on a retail 360.

From some of these posts it sounds like some of you are not going to be able to handle scores and reviews that are less then stellar for this game. There could be a chance that this game is not awesome as we were led to believe.

If that is the case then this will move from an instant purchase for me to a delayed purchase when there is a price drop.

Joke post? Defensive posts? Where exactly? Nothing has changed for me. I've liked what I've seen from the game before and I still like it. I never got the feeling that the game would be GOTY material.

That's my opinion...and that hasn't changed. (Of course it can change once I actually played the game...)
