Wow, there are actual crews model, I only expected portraits like in some other space adventure like this.
Alien races look cool and the playtime interestingly spans between ~6 hours to 50+ hours. Me likes.
There is nothing wrong with Xbone controller. The second revision removed the bumper problem.
The D-pad is a bit annoying because of the clicking sound it makes
The third revision of the controller has Bluetooth support.

This should have been out ages ago, lol. I would have loved the original vision as a boss rush game.
I hope the levels were worth it.
It's not the Steam controller, which is the best way to play Dark Souls

I really hope those platforming levels turn out to be better than what I saw because oh boy, every dummy will complain about it the same way they complained that the game was a boss-rush only game.

I'm really interested in getting Prey yet its bombing so it could see some decent sales real soon. hmmm....
Didn't this start out as a Xbox 360 arcade exclusive?

They also added a Maori language localisation, that's probably a first in gaming.
Is Maori a big language? Never heard of it
Did anyone post this yet? Alan Wake will be removed from stores after 5/15 due to expiring music licenses.

It's the language of the indigenous peoples of New Zealand, spoken or at least understood by about 60-150k people total.
Guess I should buy the "Alan Wake Collector's Edition Extras" now. What about the free bonuses DLC, will I need to register it to my game, or will I need to install the game and download those bonuses in order to own them?

Well, that's a damn shame, this game is amazing. Need to write review on it while i can.

Well that completely blows. Something to do with Poets of the Fall? Hoping it comes back to the store in the future. Remedy needs all the money they can get.
It would be very stupid, considering Poet and the Muse is part of the game itself, a puzzle Alan needs to figure out.
I doubt it's Poets of the Fall, they seem to be friends with guys at Remedy and Late Goodbye is still in Max Payne 2.

I think you're right on that. I guess I was a bit too hasty to ask if it was them.
There is also other licensed music in the game like David Bowie. Maybe that could be it.
At least they give a heads up. Everybody should do that

IIRC that's where their studio is located.

Man I'm playing Sims 3 again
I hate that game so much. Makes me realise just how many bad decisions I've made in my life. I could've been a damn Surgeon General!
But seriously, it's a fun game to pass time in.

Only reason they'd go to the effort of removing music would be to keep the game up for sale. Since they're removing the game there doesn't seem to be much point.
For any Hitman fans who haven't seen this in the other thread yet...
Steam sales lose a legend. FTL and Skyrim will miss him.

People are streaming The Surge on Twitch.
The combat doesn't look as bad as some of those teaser videos made it out to be. I have yet to see one of those jumps over low hits, though.
The atmosphere looks really good when it's filled with shadows. The decrepit station vibe is fantastic. I saw some exterior play and that wasn't as successful since the character's model looks really floaty, no weight to movement and running.
There's a timer to retrieve your "tech" (souls) from your dying location. It's like 2 and a half minutes, which seems like an interesting but frustrating mechanic.

Thank goodness for this. Hopefully they can get the second season published. I do hope they will optimize the game some more though.

And there is NOTHING wrong with that.
I'm not sure. its a great deal if you have none of them but $12 for just one. Even the Star Wars one has gotten close to that price before.
It's 12 dollars for all three LEGO games
The deal ends in two hours

The former. If you own the game, you register it to your account (and the Latin America language pack if you so desire), and you're done.

I wonder if we'll ever get a Sims 5. Sims 4 did a lot of stuff well but the lack of the open world really was a deal breaker for me. You have to imagine the game sold millions of copies anyway but I still don't know if EA would be willing to greenlight a new one (which would hopefully fix the problems in 4). They definitely didn't have enough interest to let another Simcity happen.

My (kinda baitey) Indie thread is still going strong it seems. Besides 2d plattformers apparently a lot of Indie-Games now are also Souls like games.
I don't see a Latin American language pack? Is that out in Europe? I only see the Extra Materials and Bonuses DLC.

Guess I'll finally buy this game then. It's been on my wishlist for a while.
There's a notice above "Buy Alan Wake".
You need to understand, triple AAA games are a lot deeper and more complex than those shallow indies
What kind of game is Alan Wake
Chairmanchuck

That also seems to be a case for some.
"I enjoy Singleplayer story driven games."
"But there are a lot of them from Indies. Look at Firewatch, Inside, Edith Finch, CSH, To the Moon, Rakuen etc."
"But all I see are 2d Retro plattformers."
To be fair it didnt really help some Indies, that after the PS4 you only got more "questionable" indietitles as a PS+ member...
It's kind of an action thriller game, with some slight horror elements mixed in. It's very repetitive too but worth it at 90% off.
Yeah, I mean why would I want to play through those drölfhundred 1-hour long 4-bit 2D sidescrollers that are copying 30-year old games.
Alan Wake is a great game that's what it is. Kinda action/horror/thrillerish. Very atmospheric and cool story. Great music too.
