It has oh-so-slightly improved enemy encounters, but the game was clearly limited by the XBLA size limit, as there are only three small areas (which are repeated three times) and texture resolution ranges from decent to awful. That said, if you enjoyed Alan Wake proper, it's well worth playing through once.
Edit: Oh, and the story is rather ad hoc and consequently does virtually nothing to move the overarching series narrative forward. In the interest of avoiding spoilers, I won't dive into the particulars.

I have no worries for you. From what you said you wanted, you're going to really enjoy it. And you don't need the DLC - there's a TON of content built in. It's a delight, just watching the scenery run by and hear the sound of the tracks...good stuff.
Enjoy.

Does he really need an ulterior motive if the game is going to be cheaper in a few days?
I get what youre saying but I dont agree with it. Youre basically telling people "stop gifting this guy, spread it" when it is none of your business what people do with their money or who they want to gift games to.
Not only that but I assure you firsthand that there are many gifts being given that dont necesarelly get posted here, dont worry.

I keep going back to it too. I'm not sure how fun or interesting the game will be for me but it does seem to get praise from everyone who plays it.

I'm thinking about getting Dawnguard but the idea of $10 DLC is still extremely off-putting to me.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Aw, lil junior fancies himself a detective!
But yeah, it doesn't matter what kind of spooky #GAFCONSPIRACY you think is going on, it's $5 cheaper next week.

Unless there is a pricing error later on, games are never cheaper in a daily than they are as a flash/community vote winner.

It was a joke. I'm sorry it wasn't well received.

And I'm back to skip it mode again. You own Bad Rats, Sunflower? It would have been Nexuiz then.
Look around buy/sell thread on GAF or CAG, there's still some people that sells the game in the $12-15 range.
For whatevers worth I wasnt necesarelly refering to your post about that situation either, rather other people that are straight up saying theyre annoyed by it for some reason

I bought the Sims 3 for my girlfriend during the flash sale and went over and installed Steam and the game for her yesterday.
So this morning I check my email, and she gifted me a GTA game I wanted to play. Very nice of her.
But how do I thank her while telling her to wait for the daily deal next time?
Man, life is so hard sometimes.

No idea, I've only played the old Operation Flashpoint (called Cold War Assault now), so I don't know how the newer Arma games are. I loved OF, so that's the reason I want to get it along with the true sequels (heard that OF Dragon Rising and Red River are terrible).
By the way, I'm not interested in DayZ at all, lol. Doesn't look like something I'd enjoy.

Agreed. Out of the 3, Hitman is the lower of the quality depending on your tastes.

No brainer at $3.74. Just buy it. You can do that or ALMOST buy a shitty fast food sandwich.
Let it go for now and bring up daily deals for the summer sales or something.

Well I'm not interested in the three 50% off titles, so what should I vote for?
I have $30 in Steam credit and I'm trying to spend it as wisely as possible... $3.75 is dirt cheap but the way I see it that would take me down to about $26 and that could have an impact on future purchases that I would rather have made.

What's so bad about Bad Rats?
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Gotta agree.
Only reason it's even noteworthy is because Yoshi is an attention whore, (lol) and always has been. I know for a fact that tons of other GAFFers are exchanging gifts left and right. Yoshi's just the only one that consistently posted about it in here because...well...he's Yoshi.
Peace and be jolly, friends. 'Tis the season.

Someone always asks, someone always finds out, someone always tells people "it looks like it can't be THAT bad...it is."
Someone always gets hurt.

Dishonored.
I think its cool to thank publicly in the sense that you get an understanding on who the kinder gaffers are and whatnot
no need to go overboard tho, lol
This. I'm not sure how much one can appreciate games after the 50th is given to them.
Give them to someone who might actually play them. lol
If he posts about it here, especially when it's an anonymous user who didn't want credit, we're welcome to give our opinion.
But in this case the user was anonymous so that wasn't even accomplished. Just Yoshi attention whoring.

Hmm Dishonored was 50% a while ago, so it's prob. for those that missed it.
Guess I'll vote for Borderlands 2 then.

I know the feeling. I've got $16.27 in my wallet, but I'm not spending anything because I'm waiting for 50% drops on MotN, FTL, Castle Crashers, Deadlight, etc. Any of those two would cut it pretty close.I have $30 in Steam credit and I'm trying to spend it as wisely as possible... $3.75 is dirt cheap but the way I see it that would take me down to about $26 and that could have an impact on future purchases that I would rather have made.
Fucking kids can't even appreciate Steam Gifts if you ask me.
