Alan Wake.

[Crockett]

I think Alan Wake has sold well enough, it's passed the 1 million mark a while ago.

It surely must have passed by now, according to this site it's up to 1.04 million copies.

It's not bad but a bit underwhelming, considering how long the development took unfortunately. Anyway Remedy has said it's not Alan Wake 2 nor is it a downloadable content but it'll be an addition to the universe, I'm happy we'll get something more though, I haven't even played The Writer yet. I just hope it's not a Kinect title.

im curious about alan wake some people say its good but a lot of people at my school says its bad anyone actually suggest it? i really enjoy the silent hill series and looking at alan wake sorta reminded me of silent hill. so any suggestions?

I would totally recommend, although it's a short game it's an excellent story-driven with a great pacing and the atmosphere of the game it's just fantastic, it's creepy for sure.

It was like playing through my own Stephen King story. I loved it and I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. As soon as my friend finishes my copy I'm going through it again. And I still haven't played the dlc.

Well said. The whole game felt like a tribute to King's best days. Its DLC wasn't that good and while one of them added a few things gameplay wise (More use for floating texts), the story of both was unnecessary and didn't move the plot forward.
But god I loved the main game.

I think Alan Wake has sold well enough, it's passed the 1 million mark a while ago.

Sadly that's a really weak number. Even something like Heavenly Sword that sold more than 2 million was considered a bomb. Alan Wake was in development for more than 5 years and needed to sell 3-4 million to even cover the costs

i went to this store and almost tried to buy the game when the store clerk told me the disc was missing.

This thread is full of people who love the game and would recommend it with zero hesitation, myself included. If you dig Silent Hill or Stephen King type of horror tales I'd say it's a no-brainer.

and thank you to man.

thanks also whiskey tango. im still wanting to get it but when i went to go buy it. it went missing. but at least im still on the look out for it.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

No worries. Hope you find a copy soon.

Hmm this thread reminds me I still need to play through Alan Wake on Nightmare...

 

[onewingedangel]

Good news everyone!
i got a copy of alan wake today.

 

[onewingedangel]

i play alan wake. i absolutley love it. although its not as scary as silent hill. buts its got its own scary something original.

 

[BlackLantern]

I always found it to be more thriller than "scary"....Alan Wake, that is

 

[Balthus Dire]

I found it to be extremely tense most of the time. Not quite as intense as maybe Dead Space but it was pretty creepy.

 

[onewingedangel]

yeah its gotten me to jump quite a few times.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I have a much lower tolerance for scary games. I can watch horror movies all night and not blink, but games slowly chip away at my nerves as I play. Dead Space was hard to get thru. Wake was easier but still quite spooky.

Sadly I've never had a go at a Silent Hill title.

 

[Balthus Dire]

Silent Hill 2 is still the scariest game I've ever played, I think. But it's been years, so I'm not sure if it still holds up.

 

[onewingedangel]

silent hill 2 is scary but silent hill 3 is horrifying. but i love them both.

 

[BlackLantern]

I prefer 2....I get a little mad with Alan Wake.....forces of darkness and all Ive got is this camping flashlight and a god damn pistol

screw you guys

 

[onewingedangel]

i finally got a shotgun and a flashlight that totally sucks.

One thing I never liked about the game was there was no melee. I love the dodge button and I love how it goes into slow motion sometimes when your dodging a knife it looks so damn cool but just a little melee would have been nice especially on Nightmare because there isn't too much ammo around. I really hope a sequel comes out soon because for this generation this game was one of the best playing experiences
