Re: Alan Wake (360)

i think my expectation for this game may have been to high.. i played it all night last night and i must say im kinda of disappointed..

first off the Graphics are some of the best i ever seen. the story is very Cliche to pretty much any other scary movie or book. i gets to point where you can damn near predict when your gonna get attacked

Spoiler

which is usually right before you get to your destination.

but the biggest disappointment for me was the Repetitiveness . it the same stratergy for every boss and enemy.

Re: Alan Wake (360)

Just about every game I have ever played was repetitive to an extent. Doesn't bother me. I like games with strong atmosphere, and this game definitely has it.

Re: Alan Wake (360)

I think this game is flying low on people's radar. To be honest since I beat my copy I've had it on Craigslist for retail price plus tax and haven't had a single bite. I just don't know if that many people are aware of this game and the enjoyment it can bring.

So you're selling a used game for the price of a new one and you're surprised no one has bought it?

I've read a few boards on this game and now I'm doubting if I should still pick it up now or just get it later. I mean I'm super psyched about RDR and now not so much when it comes to this.

Check out a few minutes of this, then make a decision. You might love it and the next man might hate it. I love it.

I just played through a scene in this game that was one of the more epic scenes in my 30 years of gaming.

Right. I was. A used copy of a game that isn't even released yet.

But alas someone bought it yesterday...for $60.

Never underestimate people's desire to have something before someone else.

Re: Alan Wake (360)

I'm still picking this up along with RDR and Split/Second. I tend to get burned out on games that are a little longer (RPG's, GTA, etc.). I need something to split up the time, and Alan Wake will do that with RDR.

I am a little disappointed in some of the comments on here, but I wasn't expecting this to be a GOTY candidate anyway.

I was in the same boat. Changed my pre-order to RDR.

Seems to be the deeper game, then you tack on multiplayer and it's hard to justify AW.

I think I may use my $20 credit at Amazon to pick up AW for $40. I may just wait for a price drop as well. I'm sure used copies will be readily available in a week or so.

LOL, thanks. I've been heavily anticipating this game for over 2 years. It's lived up to the hype for me. It's easily my GOTY so far. But that's all to me and in my opinion, I don't want to sway anyone who wasn't sure on the game.

It's just everything I could ask for in a game. The story, the atmosphere, etc. The game just feels like a weekly TV show that I'm actually playing through.

I now know what everyone meant when they said how emersed they were in Uncharted 2.

Re: Alan Wake (360)

Can't wait until tomorrow. I'll have this and RDR for only $80.

The question is which one to play first though.

If you have played it, how would you say it compares to Heavy Rain? I know they are different types of games, but I am not looking for a GOTY per se, just a change in gaming. if the story is good and it has some great cinematic affects I will pick it up.

Thanks
