    Re: Alan Wake (360)

    Metacritic isn't a barometer for how good a game is or isn't. I've played games over years that have got 90+ on metacritic that I didn't like. So far I think Alan Wake is a great game, if you're unsure than just rent it, simple.

      84% is mediocre? Our expectations as gamers has obviously gotten ridiculously high.

        Re: Alan Wake (360)

        Guys seriously. Im just trying to obtain info about a game, wtf.

        I dont hav a lot of $ to buy tons of games. 84% on that ranking site is avg to mediocre imo when you look at all the games that are 90 or above.

        I just expected Alan Wake to be in the 90s category is all. The fact it isnt has given me pause. Im not saying the game is bad just trying to see if i can find out why its not at that level.

        But pls feel free to continue to be critical of my use of the word mediocre.

          What can we tell you that the reviews you read haven't? Not sure why we have to make up your mind for you. Not trying to over analyze your posts or be critical, just saying.

          It's easily the best game I've played in 2010, maybe in a few years. That's me. Others may not like it as much.

          Sorry.

            Oh and what year does this game take place? I thought it was modern day but the calender in the cabin was set to July 1970 and he's using a typewriter instead of a computer but on the other hand it appeared he has a cellphone.
            I can't give that away without spoilers. Will just say this, in the very beginning they are driving a brand new Lincoln SUV..not sure if that helps.

                I completely understand that. But if you're on the fence, a $6 or 7 rental is much better than $60 down the tubes if you don't like it.

                Better yet, if you have friends at Gamestop, ask them to put it in the demo machine and try it out for a few.

                  I consider mediocre to be 6.0-6.9

                    I had to pause the game after that scene and stand up and applaud. That was amazing.

                      Dude - It's a REALLY REALLY good game. No question. I rented this game not expecting much - but I can honestly say it's one of my favorite games of this year no doubt. And that's saying alot because so far this has been a banner gaming year [Heavy Rain, GoW3, Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption]. This game took a long time in development and it shows. The graphics, the atmosphere, the music, the voice acting, the story are all top notch. Unless the horror genre is not your cup of tea - I can't think of one reason why you should not invest your time and money [a rental at the very least] in this game.

                      I hope that helps.

                        Just finished episode 4. Looks like I'll be done in 2 more nights as there are 6 episodes I believe.

                        Have to agree what everyone else said, that one part in episode 4 is awesome.

                          Also I now know what Garnett was talking about saying that he needed to chill after finishing episodes each night and that he was drained. I don't know if I've ever played a game where the story and the atmosphere draw you in so much.

                              I want to rent this, do you guys think I could finish this game in 5-7 days? Roughly 2 hours a night or so. So 10-14 hours?

                                I agree. I'm completely drained after completing Episode 3, which was really good. Looking forward to playing Episode 4 tomorrow night. I've read nothing but high praise for it.
