Today’s game is Alan Wake. I finally started on Episode 6. I was hoping to clear it in one go and nab the Gunless wonder achievement too. So far I’m doing good. But I got stuck on this section in some woods where I don’t have any flares or flashbacks, and since I can’t use guns or I’ll lose the achievement, I’m basically at the hardest challenge yet I’ve had yet I think. On top of that my battery almost died so I put my console to sleep and plan to finish the last 10~ Minutes tomorrow and start on DLC 1 & DLC 2. The after that I think I might do American Nightmare before Alan Wake II. It’s not too long of a game so I should be able to clear it easily.
This screenshot I took right outside the Majestic Motell. I want to also use this to talk about the games awesome attention to detail as well.
While trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible, In one of the books we follow a protagonist who stays in this hotel, and he stays in the same room Agent Nightingale stayed in. He finds Agent Nightingale’s notes in the Air Vents while looking for a place to store his Dream Journal. Lo and behold. What do I find in the Air Vents in Agent Nightingale’s room?
Anyways, I love this game’s attention to detail. I really hope Alan Wake II has the same because it’s something remedy does well at on top of original gameplay imo.
There are parts of video games that always feel too clean. That sign is one of them.
It would take years for a team to custom weather every model in the game and the file size would probably end up being huge.
I still haven’t tlfinished this game, I can’t even remember what made me stop playing. But after playing Control again, I want to replay AW.
Yeah, the game was made in 2010. That kind of detail wasn’t really possible. It has been remastered, but—and I’m not a person who would know—I don’t think that involves redesigning the world as much as scaling up the graphics
What’s AW?
Alan Wake
The world definitely shows its age with its game. Not that it’s a bad thing. Just kind of an observation.
A similar thing I noticed was the video files. I noticed they were blurry and blocky and then it occurred to me that the reason why was disc space limitations. That’s another thing that would rocket up the File Size.
I hope you enjoy your play through of AW. It’s one of my favorite games of all time!
I was planning on playing it after finishing Control. I just learned through an expansion that Alan Wake was related and I never played.
Oh, they’re related.
How long has your playthrough been thus far? Didn‘t know it has 2 DLCs AND American Nightmare, I thought the latter is its only DLC
In total time I don’t think I can get a solid answer because this isn’t my first play through on PC so the time is a bit muddled but if I had to guess maybe about 20 Hours considering Nightmare mode and going out of my way to get all the collectibles?
The DLCs are included in the PC and remaster too I think, so they are only DLC for the Xbox version which is why you may not have heard of them. They’re called Specials in the Game
