Alan Wake 2 - Before You Buy

Man Remedy has been doing really good stuff recently. I lived Control a lot. This game looks really good but I couldn't stand the gameplay of the first one. I really want to give it a chance anyway. Is the gameplay much better in this one? I hate looking for batteries too. Scarce ammo is fine, but I don't want to worry about batteries as well.

Been waiting for this for years and didn't even k'ow it was out?? Downloaded and now can't wait

First game I ever requested a refund over.

I played alan wake when it was first released, fourteen years of waiting and genuinely alan wake 2 has been the most disappointing gaming experience of my life, and I played advent rising.

Worth getting it?

I already bought it im waiting until it installs

Who thinks that this game is worth it and should I buy it? Considering I only buy must haves because well, they’re really expensive for me. Thanks.

A puro soyero le gusto esa chingadera

I haven’t completed the game yet but I just started a new play through and streamed it on my channel. This game is awesome. I also started playing Control too, so it’s really cool to see Easter eggs and stuff in both games.

I’m glad I held out for a physical release!

Most confusing game of all time and I’ve played thousands of game.

Is this a hard game to play ?

Finally got round to it and this game is do amazing it's ridiculous.

Painfully slow going to start.

2 minutes in you haven't spoken about the game. Simple fix. "Dont recommended channel"

A depressing game, full of disturbing imagary, when I pay money I expect it to be fun, puzzles are pretty trivial, nothing there to really test your intelligence, its slow paced as well, its not a shooter, linear gameplay, cant even jump, just searching about in the dark for 'clues', boring patience testing wank.

still not on steam, still not playing...

Great game

Is this sweet baby game worth the buy on sale at the psn for $38?

i am not playing as a woman lol its tooo wake we need men

this game fuckin sucked

Alan Wake 2 now in nice Discount on Epic Store. Also in consoles i guess so nice chance to buy this naow!

Trust me if you do decide to get this game you’ll realize they’re sabotaging the game to pass agenda because when you play as saga, it’s fun and interesting but when you play as Alan Wake, they make him look like a wimp they changed his hair and the parts you play him aren’t fun are confusing or glitchy

failed game, i guess the women of colour didn’t buy enough copy, how odd.

Finally i played a great game on ps5 and it is alan wake 2

Timestamps??

You can tell this has Sweet Baby Inc written all over this game like a blood soaked rag. Glad I didn't even know this came out because I get to be disappointed that it's crap instead of before it launched.

Anybody know if should complete control+dlc before starting aw2? Ive only played alan wake 1, and im maybe a quarter through controls main story.

Good news. The physical copy is coming this October (including Alan Wake Remastered).

I waited for literally 13 years for this. I couldn’t do the digital only trash, so I’m excited for the physical. I bought 2

I liked the shooting in Alan Wake 1 and American Nightmare better. It was more intuitive when focus and aim were the same button. Also I feel like the upgrade system was pointless and should have been left out.

Huge fan of the first Alan Wake, this game I believe exceeded every aspect of the first game except for gun play, I think the gun play is better in the first game, it feels very clunky in AW2, very rarely do you have more than one enemy on screen and when you do it is clunky and frustrating from a game mechanic standpoint. I get that it’s by design, I think I just prefer the fluidity of the fights in the first game more

You guys are way too biased..

don;t buy this game, it's so terrible

We need more mad max kind games instead of this kind of games🤮

For anybody played both the first and second game, I remember playing the first and for me combat is still difficult even on lowest difficulty, that's why I stopped playing.
How about this second entry?

too many geometry glitches for me

cant even lie the first allan wake was very boring, hours of just walking through the woods with a flashlight, very repetitive levels , should i buy this game or is this game the same thing as the first one ?

So I'm a long time Alan Wake fan. But Alan Wake 2 isn't as amazing as the first game. It's weird that so many people talk about how good it looks and all that but doesn't talk about how the detective part is played for you, you can just click anywhere and the mystery solves itself even when Saga has no leads or ideas on what to do. Like she just knows things to move the plot. And Alan Wake's part are all flashbacks for some reason so it feels like he is a secondary character in his own game. And that's not even talking about how Saga actually swapped races in universe. The first time she is shown she is white and blonde and now she is black. Like what kind of supernatural powers does she have? Is Saga actually a skin walker? Because she actually changed skins and nobody even thinks twice. I love the game, don't get me wrong. I played and enjoyed every single game from these devs but this is really stretching with all the hand holding and just awful mystery solving on Saga's part. Give us something to work with please Remedy, because Saga is just either overpowered or poorly written and both sides are not good.

I played Alan Wake years back as my first horror game. It was the most fascinating narrative/horror/survival/shooter game I've played. Then, I played American Nightmare and was quite disappointed that it was just a filler. Years later, I got my hands on Control. I didn't know it was made by the Remedy until through gameplay I started to see some similarities such as the taken in perspective. Sadly, I shrugged it off and then AW2 was announced and I was thrilled. Bought it and started playing it enjoying every piece of art. Then Ahti appeared and my reaction wasn't recorded but I was beyond surprised and shocked. I knew they had a connection now.

Story: S-Tier
Controls: Easy and familiar
Quality: S-Tier
Almost everything about it is S-Tier

I rarely get to enjoy a game such as this. Skull and Bones can be thrown into the trash. This is what paying customers want. Developers who really put effort and care into their work and only wish to see the success of the game through what the player base loves over what EA, Activision, and now Ubisoft tries to pull off.

Played the trial, im wanting to buy it now, such a great game!

I've been watching your videos for so long Jake Bald Ino is technically a family member now

Great memories with Alan wake 1. I was like 23 years old and that summer was awesome.

Ahh didn't like it, not a horror fan

This game absolutely blew my mind with its creative freedom. I will say In advance that I disagree in a way with the statement that it’s playable without playing the previous title. Sure, you absolutely can, but it does not hit the same way. My advice, take it or leave it, is to not only play Alan Wake and DLCs, but also play control and DLCs before jumping in. There are things in Alan wake 2 that are directly linked to both titles. Now, you can skip the Xbox exclusive which its name is escaping me at the moment, but I highly highly recommend playing the others. At the end of the day, Alan Wake 2 delivers some of the most creative story telling in the history of video games, absolutely captivating and addictive. The battle mechanics are well thought out and fluid . I did at times find the reload times difficult to navigate depending on the weapon.

The graphics are the best ever seen in a video game and this is in part due to remedies proprietary engine. Their engine is so effective and beautiful that I decided to purchase stock in remedy. I feel that at some point it could take podium where unreal engine has. All in all, if you are a fan of survival, horror, immersive, and disturbing atmospheres, unique, storylines, and are an open minded person, you might find this to be one of the best video games you’ve ever played.

no before you buy for hades2 ?

I may not play this game just because I have anxiety issues when playing horror games, but the universe that this talented team created seems so enticing. If only I was brave enough... 😂😂😅😅

This game is absolutely phenomenal! The way the scene completely changes in front of your eyes when u select it is so impressive. This is without a doubt one of the best horrors I've ever played! My favourites are games like Until Dawn, Evil Within, outlast 2, Silent Hill games, amnesia. Until Dawn is my favourite and cant wait for the ps5 remake but id say this is second tbh. Its that good!

Literally this game-“I had to find the clicker to give the right plot device to the story. The only way I could do that is wander around the random location looking for a bubble. Once I looked at the bubble I could go to the writing room where I could type the story. But scratch didn’t like the story so I needed to find another plot device. But the apartment was a loop so I needed to come up with a different plot line. But the plot line had been erased so I needed to find my wife’s pictures and put them in a shoe box. But the shoe box had been re-written so i needed to write Saga into the story so she could provide me with a different index to my book to find the shoebox. But shoebox wasn’t a loop, it was a spiral that led to the the romance section at Borders books in Milwaukee. I was trapped.”
