Beat the game. Wow. There was so much going on, what a game. I still don't fully understand some of the implications, but I'll sleep on them. Ready for my alternate play-through already.
This is, without a doubt, one of the finest games produced this generation.
It took me anywhere between 15-17 hours to 91% the game. I can see another 10+ hours going in here.

"Okay"
Same here...doesn't make sense to release so long after.

I still really enjoy the act / episode structure of this and AW, but they need some sort of credits or something going on during the "end of act" song breaks. It's odd just staring at a screen as a song plays.
Anyway, end of act 1. I had initially been waiting for the W10 code before caving and starting on the Bone and I just haven't had a lot of time to play. Really liking it so far. Movement feels much smoother than AW, digging the story.
Curious to see what future junction points are like. The idea of playing small bits as Paul is interesting in theory, but in execution, it feels strange. I don't yet know this character well enough to judge what choices he would make.

To people that beat the game already, what was your timeline like (choices)? For my first playthrough it was ...
Hardline / Business / Amaral / Control

I hope you didn't miss the
Night Springs narrator casting easter egg
I haven't actually finished the game, but just got done with Act 4 (that ending holy shit), and my choices were PR / Personal / Amaral / Control.
Probably going to go with the complete opposites for a second playthrough.
Same here, and I'm hunting hard for 'em
You can stream them if you'd like. Download is definitely not required.
You only really have to download if you plan to play with your console is offline. They stream otherwise, and the quality is great.
You will feel a vibration on the controller when you are close, pressing the Y button (time vision) will bring up a radar, giving you an indication to where the shard is. While in time vision it should make a noise when it's near your vicinity I think

Some of them are pretty deviously placed even if you can see where they are, though.
One particular one in Act 3 took me forever to figure out how to get to.

The Man With The Golden Dong
I appreciate the advice, but I actually know all that stuff. Just seems like they're always behind a wall hidden in an area I can't access, and no matter how much I fool around and look for ways in, they're just not there. *shrug*You will feel a vibration on the controller when you are close, pressing the Y button (time vision) will bring up a radar, giving you an indication to where the shard is.

It doesn't help that the game is wildly inconsistent with what you can, or cannot climb on. It basically feels like it's not worth my time even looking, it just frustrates me.
Can't fucking wait for Friday.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck. It's installed on my Xbox, just sitting there. Gotta finish downloading the 75GB episode pack, but won't play until Friday.
Can't contain excitement.
I didn't end up playing tonight. Oh well.
Can anyone answer this question with only yes/no to avoid too many story spoilers?
Did this scene from the E3 2013 trailer make it into the final game? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E087GDdXYl4
I've been waiting for this game since May 2013 but that E3 trailer blew me away...

Yes, but it is set before the drone crashes.

Made it to Act 5 just now and looking forward to finishing the game off tomorrow evening.
Can you replay the game on hard from the level select with your upgraded powers or do you have to start fresh on hard?

You can replay from the level select.
Looks like switching choices on the second playthrough also switches the collectibles, cause I had everything at 100% and after switching to a different choice I have next chapter after choice at 83%.
Remedy, we need some downloadable outfits for the game, you could start with Alan Wake outfit for Jack

is anyone actually reading the collectibles? I am finding them to be obnoxiously long and overabundant. Just skipping through them. I dont even know what some of the emails and what not are talking about, cant keep up with them at all.

i read them all, they add to the game.

Some are world building, some are just humorous, some of it actually telegraphs some major stuff that happens later.
Usually I start off a game reading stuff like this but eventually start to skip over it. In this case I haven't been skipping anything and I have found them all engaging and they add to the story.

But can I replay on hard with the upgrades I got from playing so far on normal?

Yes, but you gonna be able to use only the powers that were available for that chapter.

Act 4 is fantastic. Some really great hidden things in it too.

Just finished Act 2 and I'm really digging this. The story has me hooked.
Man, fuck doors that close behind you. Any time there are two paths to take I have to debate which one is likely to lock me in and which one is the optional pathway.
I knew going in that exploration wasn't this game's focus, but it's failed to meet even my limited expectations in that regard.

They pretty much tell what's going on in the background and some explain why a person did something in the show. Really nice.

I just started the game and I'm just now discovering the time powers. Is the screen supposed to turn completely white at certain camera angles? It's getting really annoying and hard to see.

That appears to be a issue with the game. Try power cycling or quitting?
Lots of relatively well-written notes, emails and shit to find actually makes me even more excited about the game. The story seems very interesting and, well, reading is fun lol.
I have a bunch of different games to play for the next 2-3 weeks, but if the PC version isn't fixed by the time I'm done with them, I think I'll just get the Xbone version.

Quitting and restarting the game seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
And here I was, thinking Ubisoft's ports were bad. From a studio like Remedy with its roots on PC I'm massively disappointed with this PC port.
It looks good, yeah, in some scenes even stunning but not any NEAR to justify that poor performance. Input lag, stuttering. Even after I found video settings that give me a SOMEWHAT acceptable gaming and visual experience, it starts to stutter right out of nowhere.
And then they charge 70 EUR for this crap. Could save some bucks by changing the currency to USD so I've paid like 62 EUR. Still way too much for this utter junk of poorly optimized code. Which is a shame, because gunfights are fun and dialoges and writing—so far, which isn't THAT far due to lackluster performance—are shining well.
And boy, what a shitty image quality... even on 1080p all blurry and grainy. This is ridiculous.

Yeah, it really sucks. Was really looking forward to PC version.. The dead silence before launch was telling.
Alan Wake was so good on PC.

Any news on a patch? Have Remedy or MS at least acknowledged the problems?
Don't think so. At least no official confirmation. I'd recommend anyone write on their facebook and twitter pages. Flood them. This is beyond acceptable.
