From an early review copy:>around 50ish hours to beat>CIA guy from Dark Knight Rises is the main villain. His character was introduced in the first game's DLC recordings - Dr Ash but goes under moniker Chester Bless. He is his own father because he discovered time travel or something. >also the main protagonist and Jesse are not really siblings but alternate versions of each other. I didn't really fully get it, maybe i should have read the first game's lore more closely>the combat is pretty good, bit like dumbed down DmC but still fun. Not a huge fan of the bigger open world, prefered the indoor metroidvania of the first game>i'd give it an 8/10
I played Alan Wake but not the sequel or Control, how good are they? Halloween is coming around and I usually replay Alan Wake around that time every few years. Barry best bro btw.
>>747526461>CIA is backThat's bullshit but i believe it.
>>747526461>around 50ish hours to beatIs this gonna be a FF16 situation where there's a fun 10 hour action game somewhere in there but its padded out to fuck with the most boring shit. There's no good action game that's 50 hours long for a single playthrough
>>747526725I liked Control but thought AW2 was a boring slog.
who's the big guy now
>>747526865Well thats disappointing. How is the combat and story compared to the first game? I really liked the plot and the flashlight mechanics, even if it was rather simplistic.
>>747526725I liked Control, only ever played AW1 and found it dull after a few hours and a slog to completeControl was fun to play to the end
>>747526461Control deserved so much more hate than Alan wake 2. One of the most ugliest MCs I’ve ever seen and it was very deliberate. They made her face look like a foot AND gave her zero ass.
>>747526985It's basically RE2 Remake but not as good
>>747527152I fucking love redheads in that outfit but she somehow did nothing for me.
>>747526860FF16 is a game with some of the highest highs, and the lowest lows. The lows being 80% of that fuckin' game.
>>747526461So quantum break is canonized?
>>747527170So a survival shooter with crafting? That sounds very different from the first game lol.
>>747526860Probably more like 50 hours to platinum, from what i've seen the zones each have levels you increase by completing activities there instead of your character leveling up>>747527472In all but name, if you play Alan Wake 2 and its DLC you'll understand what i mean. It has QB's protagonist and antagonist with a very similar story. Actually looking back, it probably hinted at this game.
>>747527773Yeah, there's still the flashlight mechanic but it feels and controls almost exactly like RE2
>>747526860Wukong was 50 hours and pure kino for the entire duration. But yeah XVI was pretty disappointing.
>>747526461>50ish hoursthat's too long
>>747526461>>CIA guy from Dark Knight Rises is the main villainIs he a big guy?
Dr. Casper, I'm FBC
>>747526461>CIA guy from Dark Knight Rises is the main villainidk if I hope this is true or not. I could see the posts about that being funny or getting played out after an hour.
I wish they didn’t delay the physical until mid october
>>747526725I loved AW1 but I fucking hated Control. If you upgrade the telekinesis attack early you'll do nothing but spam that repeatedly the entire runtime, and it felt like a run of the mill open world game but in grey hallways instead. I also really hate that it completely demystifies Alan Wake by reducing it down to "it was an SCP typewrite the whole time" but I'll give Remedy a bit of credit and say that maybe the DLC I couldn't be assed to finish and AW2 extrapolate on it and I just haven't seen it.
>>747526725control is pretty okay but doesn't really live up to its premise. alan wake 2 was way too bland for how far it is up its own ass
So it's linked to Quantum Break?
>>747526725Control is fun, Anal Wake 2 is shit.
>>747526461>also the main protagonist and Jesse are not really siblings but alternate versions of each other.So is it OK if they have sex?
Control was really fucking dull at least AW2 was intriguing for like first 3 hours or so.
>>747526461>50ish hoursI don't want a melee action game to be that long, I highly doubt they did enough to ensure good level and enemy variety
>50ish hours to beatWHY?FORWHATPURPOSE?
>>747526461Bless is all over Control if you read the documents. It's not just the DLC. Him being the main villain doesn't surprise me.
>>747530392With side quests I'm betting
>>747528173lmao
>>747527954Chinkcels are really delusional
I'm hyped the combat has been excellent from what they've shown
>>747530548Didn't know he was originally the doctor from the foundation cave recordings
>>747526889Will he be the same guy? Quantum Break's story was so forgettable that I can't remember what happened to CIA at the end.
As in, the main villain is a new character played by Aidan Gillen, or the main villain is Paul Serene??
>>747532225I've seen theories before that Aidan Gillen would play Chester Bless because of his quantum break name being Paul SereneSerene = Bless (?) kinda like Martin Hatch = Warlin Door just legally distinct characters
>>747532656should I play quantum break?
>>747530392Open world, so padded to shit with pointless distractions
>>747531530Time for your coffee break, glowie
>>747532753If you liked control then yeah it's the proto control. Okay third person shooting with superpowers, cool time travel plot with great presentation but mostly generic fights. Not too long either it takes like 10 hours to beat casually.The big turn off for everyone is that half the game is a literal TV show but you might like it idk.
>>747532775coming from Onimusha this feels like suffering m8
>>747527152>AND gave her zero ass.She has an ass outfit.
Wasn't there a log about the Ordinary AWE where it's mentioned that the residents of that town don't even remember Jesse having a brother or am I misremembering
>>747532162Jack killed him and when they were fixing time, he revived, but the Countermeasure fixed spacetime, making him disappear before he could destroy it. He probably became a Shifter. Maybe by now he's become a Stable Shifter in the multiverse.
Remedy haven't released a single good game since Alan Wake 1.
>>747526461Does Dylan eventually become the FBC director like he's supposed to?
>>747526461Does he also have telekinesis?
>>74753039210 hours of dr darling kino cutscenes10 hours of antti janitor side quests10 hours poets of the fall musical set piece
I don't understand why they don't ask Microsoft for the rights back to QB? Microsoft is probably one of the few big publishers that would be willing to make such a deal. To be honest they'd probably be happy to be rid of it since it's a dead IP in any other context.
>>747528696The AWE is the lake not a typewriter.
>>747526461Kino
>>747535350It's one of the powers you get from beating a boss. They all have one or more power to choose from but you can only pick 1 so i think it's an Infamous 2 situation where you need to do a NG+ to unlock all abilities
>>747528696>If you upgrade the telekinesis attack early you'll do nothing but spam that repeatedly the entire runtime,For me it was stacking shit to get to the top of the NSC earlier than intended to get the Eternal Fire mod for the pistol and just spamming that through the entire game
>>747536729It that's the case then it's absolutely retarded. Mandatory NG+ to unlock everything in a game that's already 50 hours long is ridiculous. Unless this game's enemy variety puts every other CAG to shame even 50 hours is way, way too long.
>>747526461bane?
>>747536893I like it. Forcing the player to make choices and live with it is way too underutilized in modern gaming.
>>747536893There's just no way the story is longer than 15 hours.
How’s the enemy variety? Is it just the mold and hiss?
>>747526461This game is going to be kino i can already tell, Control was fun but was limited for being ranged combat it was a smart move to make it melee and outside schizo kaleidoscope kino
>>747526461I couldn't get passed the man faced dyke in Control, hopefully I enjoy this game.
>>747526461Is this shit even gonna be worth it? I'm mostly done with Remedy after Alan Wake 2. Sam Lake wants to be Kojima so badly and he winds up being even more obnoxious. The quirky, wink at the audience writing, the reddit pandering live action cutscenes, the forced walking sections, it's unbearable.It's like Remedy wishes they were making Netflix series while Kojima wishes he was making groundbreaking, trippy epics like 2001. Neither are capable of either, so the medium of video games is forced to endure them.
>>747530392complaining about content?
>>747538671Yes, I fucking hate padding and bloat on my vidya you stupid fuck.
>>74753884750 hours isn't even bloat, you dirty normie
>>747538897Action game, normalfag
why are Remedy games so self serious now? Max Payne was funny
>>747538847you cant tell if a game has bloat until you play it playtime hours means nothing it can be straight story for 50 hours
>>747539001there's plenty of comedy in control
>>747535413well i cant complain about that
>>747539001self serious and confusing the guy who beat the game doesn't even know about what's the plot is about it was like this in control and aw2 and i hated it
>>747526461What's the writing and voice acting like? From their preview videos it felt very "Focus, M" AAA banter slop.
>>747538446I despised Alan Wake 2 as well but this is being directed by the same guy who directed Control, so I'll try it for myself.
>>747541982Control suckedi already got this game via nvidia promotion for like $25 but I have low expectaions
Should I play the Alan Wake duology before ResonantI already own them, just haven't gotten around to it
>>747526461>>747526461>CIA guyThe Oldest House is one thing but Dylan wouldn't last a day out in NYC
