when does it come out?
He looks like he stepped out of a home improvement show gone terribly wrong.

YES. I knew it'd pay off to wait a bit. Bought.
What the hell is he holding in his right hand? It looks like a megaphone with a barrel attached to the end of it.
Nailgun.
HAHAHAHAHA This is so funny considering the discussion we had on the previous page.

I got this game with the HIB for Android. There is not much strategy indeed, I got my preferred queue order for vehicles, and then it is about choosing the best path and a little bit of reordering. However, I had a good 7-hour long play, thanks to the voices, music and sounds.

Weird. The update window and front page show that, but the store page lists $11.24
edit oops, extra bonus for aw owners
I have yet to pay for a Call of Duty map pack, but I would definitely like some new Spec Ops survival maps. $15 is fuckin' crazy, though.

Maybe there's a discount if you already own Alan Wake? (Do you?)
Yeah I saw some people complaining about the voice acting (and the Japanese voices are admittedly cringe-worthy), but the British actors were decent I thought. Gave me the same sort of vibe as Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts' "this should fill our day" type of stiff-upper-lip, posh British accent.

Shit do I drop 15$ on Alan Wake which I already beat last year on 360 or do I buy the MW3 map pack.
I think I'm gonna wait on Alan Wake since I'm trying to focus on beating games I haven't already completed.

4 entirely new maps + 2 spec-ops beats the hell out of MW2's 3 new maps + 2 "remakes."
LOL was annoying a friend about portal 2 midweek
I was like "lol its gunna be alan wake liek gog"
AND IT WAS
Now to question wether I buy it or not. No doubt it's gonna be 50% after a while.
RULE No1 FOR BACKLOGGERS. If you will not play it within x Days, do not buy it.
So alas, alan wake, I shan't buy you.

What games is Alan Wake comparable to?
How is the gameplay/story exposition ratio?
Exploration or " corridor" based gameplay?
I THINK I want to play it, but I really don't know if I'll like it and money is really tight at the moment and I could use some detailed descriptions to make my decision.

listen to the mad man
Hard to say. More horror and less action than Max Payne, more atmospheric/psychological and less action than Resident Evil, slower than most 3rd person shooters. More action/mobility than Deadly Premonition. Thematically it's pretty similar to Twin Peaks.
Hard to say. Higher than Final Fantasy XIII, lower than most shooters?
More open than a corridor shooter (with a few forest areas that are sort of open), but linear in progression, no optional missions or anything.
It's a pretty great game. But it's also a few years old now, so if you've survived this long without it, it doesn't really make much sense to splurge on it if "money is really tight". It'll still be there. It'll go on sale again, either for $7.50 or $15, on the Steam summer sale, and I would expect it to be $5-10 for the Steam Christmas sale if you are willing to wait.
The number of sales that are actually so good that it's better to buy now than to wait are very low, so my advice would be pretty much always to hold off on games, even ones you really want, as long as you have something else to play in the meantime.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah bought.
lol if anyone got if off GOG because it wasn't on sale on Steam.

Speaking as someone who has shot themselves in the femur with a nailgun, I can attest that one would indeed be an effective weapon. : (
Oh god. Ow.

That convinced me not to buy it right now. Thanks for saving me some money.
There's always the chance that a game that's been on your wishlist for years might be an incredible experience you didn't even know about, but it seems AW wouldn't be that, at least for me.

Goddamn lol.
I haven't bought it yet, but GOG is a better deal in the UK. $15 (£9.20ish) on GoG for the Collectors Edition, £13.49 on Steam.

You'll love it, trust me, it's something pretty and uneasy.

My only hope is that Alan Wake will be cheaper in the summer sale. To many unexpected things this month already to bite on it.
How in the hell did you accomplish this fantastic feat?

if your short on cash I can see why GOG is a better deal and all, but the fact it has steamworks outweighs the price difference for me, especially with Steam Cloud if I ever install it on my laptop.
*ohalsoIlikemygamesonsteammandantorycomment*
wat.
Sure, but GOG offers a different service than Steam. No DRM and extra goodies vs. achievements and cloud saves.
Gotcha.

I'll wait till AW is >$10. Already played the 360 version but wouldn't mind seeing how the PC version looks.

Steam includes both pieces of DLC as well.

I was actually wondering this as well. It lists the soundtrack but then so does the regular version.
Ah, I see. I wasn't sure since I pre-ordered it from GMG and wondered if the DLC was part of the pre-order. Fixed my post.
Soundtrack/video/pdf book are listed under "special offer" so I'm assuming they're both the same. I feel silly for getting the CE now lol

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
He was probably nailing something together using his lap as temporary staging.

I think we all need to hear this story.
In which case, he's damn lucky it was only his femur that got nailed and not anything higher.

I used to work at a place that built boat trailers. I worked in the area where we stacked them for shipping. I would have to climb all around the stack nailing 4x4 blocks of wood in strategic spots to keep the trailers from sliding around on top of each other. When I jumped down off of a stack the hose got caught on something and when I landed on the ground it yanked the air line just perfect for the nose of the gun to hit my femur as I landed in a crouch.
Only the head of the nail was above the skin so I had to spend the entire time with my leg bent like I landed or it would have pulled the head of the nail under the skin. Once they started the work it took the doctors 40 minutes to get it out. They had to get a guy in maintenance to weld a piece of plate metal to the top of a pair of vicegrips. Then they clamped the vicegrips on the head of the nail and hit the plate with a hammer until the nail came out.
