My name is Alan Wake. I'm a writer. |OT|
- Thread starter BruceLeeRoy
- Start date
There's another DLC coming (The Writer) and depending on sales of that second one (since they know most people will get the first one because it's free with new copies) they are open to make more DLC..while making the sequel; to bridge the first game directly to the second one.squicken said:
Plus Remedy seems quite happy with the overall reception and sales (and with Microsoft..at the moment)..that sales could've been better yeah, but they constantly talk about how their team is really small (30, 45 peak)....and that they loved having the time they wanted and needed, for the game.

i already sold my copy but still have the dlc...will try to borrow/rent it for a night i guess...
The DLC is quite expensive, i like my DLC to be 400 points; this one is 560 or something.
Of course, the first one can be considered free and i'll also buy the second one at soon as it comes out (especially since the first one is free for most people, i appreciate this)
By the way the new DLC achievements are already on Xbox.com, but they don't show in the game.

This game is awesome, but there is one question I have about the story that could change the way I think about Alan Wake's
decision:
or Tom Zane's
Is Mr. Scratch supposed to take Alan's place at the typewriter for eternity (not writing anything per say, but as a placeholder for Alan), or is he going to be Alan's puppet while Alan controls him from the bottom of the lake?

I bought it used and a code came with it :lol , as for your chances 100%?
Is it just me or is the Jumping in this game is useless ? I just can't think of any reason why is in the game. I think they could have just use the B button to jump in places where I need to jump or climb something and use the A button for the dodging. not to say the dodging is great or anything, it just makes the game way easier once you get the hang of it where it's no longer dangerous or scary to have enemies close to you. Maybe if the dodging is the same way as Gears or Uncharted dodging but with a different animation of course, it could have been a little trickier to master.
I felt like Remedy did a great job with the atmosphere, Story and Graphics but they couldn't nail the gameplay probably because of how simple the game mechanics are plus the lack of any combat variety.

Finished it and then when the final cutscene is running there is an emergency with my wife and kids. When I turn back it's over. I don't quite know the significance of the ending.
It looks like an 'all this has happened before and all this will happen again.' Every generation has a woman that the darkness controls and an artist to fight it. Is there any other story element I've missed. Alan Wake didn't come back, right?

Think I'll start my nightmare play-through (along with collecting everything) tonight and and play the signal when I'm finished.
Any tips?

Running and using light is your friend. I used my flashlight and running tactics way more then my gunning. As a matter of fact, unless the game forced you to fight, I usually always ran.

Hitting the dashboard button at any moment during this game will pause it, even during cutscenes. Many games are like this now, I always try it just to see

So can I go online and play this since I entered the code when I got the game or do I need to wait for a new code?
I wanna play this now.

You need to wait for a new code.Dax01 said:
Why did so many people enter it before it was out? I'm just curious, and not trying to be a dick.

I'm not actually sure what the video is. I heard it was a Making of video of some sort. Not sure if it's the same one of the Collectors Edition or not. I'm sure it's on Youtube by now.Wizpig said:

Also, his own comment is one of the most inane things I've ever read. A good part of the video he's bitching about how only a small part of people will get the first dlc for free and how that's a grave injustice. When someone points out the dlc code is in all copies, he starts getting indignant about how his Collector's Edition suddenly not that special anymore. Some people will always complain.

Kinda disappointed with this DLC. Beat it in about 1 hour. I didn't find it to be challenging at all; I think I only died twice. Maybe that's because I switched to the alternate control scheme. I don't feel like it progressed the story much, so I think that's why I'm disappointed with it.
At least Barry was present for some of it. Always adding comic relief to scary situations.
Surprisngly good dlc for once It was a blast to play. The original game should've had more of this kind of gameplay for sure.
Died 4 times I think. at least 3 of those I could blame on the game itself. i fucking hate the dodge mechanic. It has a mind of its own and it killed me on countless occasions in the original game... No different here.

Super fast cars and enemies with sharp knives flying at me from outside the camera's view are also extremly annoying. So damn cheap.

I finished it a couple of moments ago. It was fun, but the lack of story development was kind disappointing.

Still waiting for MS to email me my code, dammit why is it taking so long, it's not like you have many emails to send out.
This game had one of the coolest tributes to early gaming I've ever seen.
At the clinic on Cauldron Lake, there is a videogame programmer named Emmerson that has lost his mind. I noticed that he is wearing a Bruce Lee C64 shirt. It clearly shows the black ninja from the game. I almost fell off my chair (see my avatar). Anyone else notice this??

Finished The Signal in 2 sittings - a little shorter than I was hoping but a lot crazier than I was expecting. Loved how it was so unique compared to the other episodes - sure it did have a lot more action than usual but it wasn't overkill. That "Boom" area was really intense. The cardboard cutouts were hilarious, just need to go back and find one.
Really hope there are a few more episodes after the next one but probably wont be. One of the best games I've played this year, despite being a little confused by the story. Oh and Barry might be the best new character of 2010. He needs his own game or something.

Yeah that was really cool.
