This game really Resona[n]tes with me, the Control[s] especially.
best gameplay since max payne but it still feels kind of off
>>748832514seriously.why doesn't anyone from Remedy's Board of Directors say something?
A freeform weapon wheel would utterly break this game and turn every single encounter into a joke. It would make way more sense to just have two main/second/finisher presets that you could switch in real time like how you could only swap between two service weapon forms in the first game
>>748833016This, pretty much. Weapon choices have to compliment each other anyway.
Some good parts, some cringe parts, but it severely lacks the influence of Sam Lake. It's too normal, for lack of a better word.Even most audio logs and video logs are boring as fuck (not to mention overlong), which wasn't the case with the first game.
>>748832514where's your TAA bro
>>748833334Dunno man, must have lost it somewhere along the way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOrQomKLU04mortismal said its goty
What the fuck was the pattern?
>>748833224>no Sam Lakeskipped
>>748833224Add the "musical" sequences that don't work at all because they overuse them. Also no Ahti except in the 2D section without VA.
>>748832514
>get new outfit piece>it’s yet another trash bag hobo fit
>>748833993Play the game. Read the notes spread around.
>>748835149I did. I didnt get it. The game is long.
Is Polaris a remnant of JDF?
Do we like Zoe?
>>748836772she doesn't want to fuck dylan, so no
>>748836772No, she can go back to being a gas station clerk.
The Unknown is a pain to get around. Is is the endgame area? Because it definitely feels like they ran out of money and had to resort to asset reuse just to pad out gameplay time.There doesn't seem to be much happening there besides patterning. The formulaic way Remedy choose to design and present their maps the player is definitely starting to crack towards the end, it seems.
>>748836772so what was her backstory again?>lost parents in AWE>dropped out of college>started working for FBC
I liked control, I guess, but it wasn't super duper fun, if I paid more than like $10 for it I'd probably have been pretty disappointed, and alan wake 2 left a LOT to be desired, though I did love the campy shit FMVs.How is resonant? I hear it's completely unlike the other games nad is some sort of action RPG.
>>748837491It's a pretty mediocre god of war (ps2 one) combat wise, setting is better than control but only slightly.
I'm worried about the lack of Control memes. Is the game yet to leave its mark?AW2 had a ton of memes and fanart, Resonant seems more sterile when it comes to community response.
>>748837491>I hear it's completely unlike the other games nad is some sort of action RPGIt’s a hack and slash but not really since you only have one combo and the finisher is always set until you manually change it. If you thought control was boring, this wouldn’t be that much different in presentation aside from the change in setting. A lot of the enjoyment factor is less the combat for me and more just exploring finding puzzles to do and notes to read. The universe is compelling but the characters within it aren’t.
>>748836772Too much of a quirk chungus self insert for women who dream of going "Ummm my boyfriend ordered this without pickles!". She could have been better a better character if her dialogue wasn't "Focus M"-tier.
>>748837706I guess it didn't resonate so well with the community
>>748835075I don’t really get why the cosmetics are so trash. I get Dylan is a containment subject with a short leash, but they could’ve given us a bone to not make him look like a unwashed basement dweller with zero fashion sense.
>>748837751>The universe is compelling but the characters within it aren’t.I would argue that the compelling characters are not the ones the story focuses around. The people working for the FBC go through some fucked up shit, there's bound to be some good storytelling there about the human condition, camaraderie & keeping it together in the face of adversity. The logs tell a much better story than what is experienced through gameplay.
Shame I can't just kill the bureauI wanna be an escaped dangerous lab experimentDylan is surprisingly chill with getting tortured and kept in a small cell for all his life
>>748833016>A freeform weapon wheel would utterly break this game and turn every single encounter into a joke.Encounters are already a joke, enemies only have like two moves and they're even bigger sandbags than DMC enemies. Being able to swap weapons wouldn't help alleviate the teddeum of mashing X and spot dodging.
>>748838001>The logs tell a much better story than what is experienced through gameplayTrue, which is why I prefer exploring rather than engaging in anything else with the game. There’s a weird disconnect where Dylan feels more like a vehicle for the player to find and flesh out the other stories he’s not a part of. Jesse was kinda the same way but at least her arc gave her a bit more agency in the games.
>>748837681>It's a pretty mediocre god of war (ps2 one) combat wiseThat's an insult to God of War, since those games at least had different combo strings and a modifier button to pepper your strings with different attacks
>>748838419God of war was a lot of same button spam but it had more options yeah, that's why it's a mediocre variant of that. I could have compared it to x-blades but that is both lesser known and actually shit.
>>748837706You need a fun MC to make memes and Dylan's the worst part of the game. Jesse didn’t have many memes either. They kinda feel like they’re perpetually stuck on middle gear for most of the game and the couple scenes where they ham it up don’t make up for it.
late game spoilers:the earthbound inspired section caught me really off guard. Great little segment.
>>748836772would
>>748834519>no Ahti Ok this is a deal breaker for me
>>748839340It’s so weird. Surely they know he's extremely popular, they put him in AW2. Was the VA just not available?
>>748832514Do I need to play the other remedy games
>>748839579There is a "previously on Control" that probably recaps all you need to know, I havent clicked on it though. Only played halfway through control and apparently nothing happened
here's you control 3 villain bro
>>748839716Tim Breaker game when?
>>748839779Right after this studio goes bankrupt
>>748839716Who even played quantum break?
>>748837383>it definitely feels like they ran out of money and had to resort to asset reuse just to pad out gameplay time.They had teased the entire Unknown area in The Lake House so no. It's resourceful to reuse assets, and the way it's all arranged certainly isn't lazy.
>>748840015i legit never played a remedy game at the time and only played it because of the bane meme
so what happened to Darling?
>walking around the office twisting the hallways into 4D shapes but it never works>none of them can tell i'm resonant as fuck right now
>>748840370he became a cosmic being beyond our understanding
So they finally caved in and added actual enemy variety and gameplay after their movie game, Alan wake 2, flopped?
>>748838815>Jesse didn’t have many memes eithercome on now, Col. Jesse Landa was a top tier shitpost
>>748832514why so oily?
>>748840445The meta thing to do is make him reincarnate as Alan Wake and have his voice change to Ikka’s when he realizes this.
>>748840370Well, he's (allegedly) still stuck in the Dark Place with Zane, no? I would've expected for Resonant to get a little bit into it, but I guess it'll have to wait until AW3.
>>748840370https://youtu.be/BQJ-CXGc8lo?is=le5g9DM7Z18MkoxZ
>>748840415Arish....
>>748840812Mostly because she was ugly as sin.
>>748840370Wherever he is, I’ll find him and kill him.
>Darling tapped this
What would be your resonant form be, bros?
>>748839716I'll buy it if Professor Darling is the protagonist.
>>748841615Everyone in this thread would pattern and turn into something reflecting the game
>>748843975I would pattern myself into a gamer chair so I never have to get up
>"i feel no gravity" starts playingnot quite the ashtray maze or herald of darkness, but remedy still cooking with their musical sections
>the kinos just keep dropping
>>748837706No one really is reading the files because I'm disappointed that there's no memes about not knowing what a Manhattan is or people posting Seinfeld clips confused about where the show takes place
>>748833224>it severely lacks the influence of Sam LakeYou can REALLY tell half the dialogue is written by a woman. Overly snarky and dismissive dialogue from the female characters is a cancer among modern writing.
>jesse keeps calling the mold monsters dung monkeys during the flashbacki don't think you can call them that
gotta say, she really grew on me
>>748833896>mortismal saiduhh...ok?
>>748837487don't forget she's a child of immigrants
>>748839081it was cool, but dragged on WAY too long imo
>>748841615I'd be patterned so much I'd turn into a sphere
>>748847657New literal me just dropped
>>748847254she needs that Dylan dick inside her
found all cameras and all I got was shitty trinket blueprint, at least when you get all dog toys you get a dog

>>748849023skill issue
I really wasn’t expecting that twist in the third act but I’m impressed with the new director, this Fred guy is awesome!
>>748841493Have you seen what's under Darlings lab coat? She jumped him more likely.
>>748833896>literally WHO said a thingI don't care.
>>748850478stupid sexy Darling
>>748833896So was Veilguard for him.
>>748841252
>complete the game>didnt find the casual outfityou fucktard dylan you fucking autistic retard!
>>748850649Gad dammit! Those are some good rewards!
>>748850478That's the mushroom lady, right? She just wanted his MAN MUSHROOM obviously LMAO!
>>748850649
wouldnt pay this capeshit slop if you paid me to also whos paying all the supposed "pirates" to shill this faggotry?
>>748833993Patterning was caused by the Hedron of this game. Game gives us theories why the Hedron/Polaris of the first game was more directly helpful to Jesse without doing patterning shit, like it was weaker and dying, and the Hiss being some sort of general enemy of Hedrons, and the game gives us hints as to why this Hedron is doing the patterning (trying to prepare/better this world for an incoming threat), but we don't have concrete answers.
>>748851190If you don't like it you don't have to be in this thread. Go make a thread about a game you like. You do play videogames? You like some of those? Go talk about them. Dumb fag.>>748850747There should be a guide for the different outfits.
the update made it even easier again? fuck
>>748851568the ending gauntlet is hilarious if you've kept up with upgrades. you're so strong that you're 2 shotting heavies
>>748851568Assist Mode can make it harder again.
>>748849023It's fucking bullshit that the dog doesn't have her own quest... I just don’t remember if I found her everywhere I should.
>>748833224>(not to mention overlong)I have yelled at far too many of them to shut the fuck up after a while.
>>748851809should be 1-2 in every zone
This update got me a shitton of performance for some reason, unless it's a coincidence and I'm just at an easier to run area.The motion blur shutter speed adjusting to frame gen made a big difference in animation smoothness too, feels amazing now.
>>748839716There was an ARG before release and one of the last things found was thishttps://thepoweroftheboard.com password: 75CB1355Check out some of the initials at the bottom of the page. Chess Trebles is an anagram of Chester Bless btw.
I finished the Underpass, pretty good concept. Two questionsWe never find out what was the thing killing the researchers, right? Only saw glimpses of it.How do you open that locked FBC door near the wrap door?
Why did he do it?
>>748851941I don't remember it properly revealing what it was, but I also didn't hunt for all the collectible documents and haven't done NG+ yet, which locks some documents behind it.Locked door you'll get a call from Zoe for a side story for it as you progress through the game.
>>748851861>This update got me a shitton of performance for some reason, unless it's a coincidence and I'm just at an easier to run area.No its intentional they mentioned making tweaks to improve performance in the patch notes. The performance improvements are the main reason I'm downloading the update even though it makes the game easier
>>748851048grim
>>748851941I'm pretty sure the implication is that there's some literal Quantum Break timey-whimey shenanigans happening and that since there's multiple different timelines folding on themselves literally anything and everything is killing them, including them commiting suicide. It's not explicit about it, however and I miiight be wrong, but I don't think there was a specific threat. The threshold itself was the threat.
IT'S IN MY NATUREON THE HORIZONTILL THE BITTER ENDI'LL FIGHT FOR CONTROL
Fucking dithering crap
>>748851048>Lecture + Test on EthicsDarling needs to be killed in the slowest and most humiliating way possible.
>>748853130There is something killing Grist and a few audio logs mentioning a presence killing them. You see it here at 6:06:26https://youtu.be/eyBA6RXZ57w?si=Hcpn7nbJv_pTeZRuIt’s a Resonant but not the Physicist.
>>748853450Make him into P8.
Subwoofer-chan...
>>748853975I killed her.
>>748853975I feel like half of the sidequests ends out of nowhere in this game
Looking good buddy
>>748854386I'm still mad at the non-ending of the taxi quest
>>748854840theres no ending to it? lmao that bitch died in that dimension
>>748844817Is it me or did the physicist in the astral plane sound a lot like Costanza?Especially when he was yelling at the old woman.
Now that Wallet + Shield combo was giganerfed, I think the better synergy for Shield is Bout Guard, 50% Power Regen makes a massive difference and taking 20% more damage is completely meaningless considering they keep making the game easier anyway. Replaced Wallet with it since the power regen is so massive that I don't really feel the need to use abilities when out of power anymore since that never happens for more than a couple of seconds.
>>748838014>Dylan is surprisingly chill with getting tortured and kept in a small cell for all his lifeLiterally mindbroken into being that way.
>>748844290Why are they such whiny bitches. Get with the fucking program y-you, you-DOUBLE [REDACTED]
>>748856147I don't really hear it but he does kinda look like him
>>748841615I wouldn't change form i would listen and that and that's w-wh-w-what no at no one no did-id-did-d
>Langston will get Dylan a scarf because he thinks his clothes aren't warm enoughbros...
>>748857357Langston is a real one.
>>748857313What was that?
>last patch introduced like 5 game breaking bugs and completely destroyed movement.I really wanted to play this today, guess I have to wait until they fix this shit.
>>748856463Shield is kind of a meh in later game. The power drain is still too massive, it dwarfs all other powers. The summon is better.
This game could be ideal if this was done by japs with a more likeable protagonist and cuter Zoe
so is there really no movement on the jesse dylan faden clone/extradimensional child thing other than nods and hints? guess that's for control three.
So what do we think of the Hedron enemy faction?
What's the reward for the Taxi quest now? That quest made me feel retarded
>>748855828I guess it depends on the order you do the quests. The penultimate I did was near the end of the story, the taxi in the Unknown, and in that one you talk to her on the phone and she says she might as well just get in one of the taxis and see where it takes her, and Dylan can encourage her to do so or tell her to stay put, he'll find her. But the last taxi I did was the one that's closest to the Oldest House, and that one ends with Mila saying he's going to the roof of the building to see what she can see. After that Dylan calls Zoe to update her, and the ending is basically "welp, I couldn't save her, but I got out so there's a chance she makes it out and FBC finds her before the Hiss."But if you do the missions in order, the ending of the Unknown taxi seems more fitting, with Mila getting on the same taxis Dylan has been travelling with so that gives her better odds. But yeah, you don't find her, you're uncertain what'll happen to her.
WHERE MY FREDCHADS AT?
>>748858262mfw I saw the stuff they got for his office when I was expecting a more accurate recreation of the actual office
So, whats with the reaction from Dylan and Jesses parents?is it just a paranatural thing, or is it as I read from someones headcanon they had one children and then it got split into both Dylan and Jesse
Finished the game today, amazing.Though this feels like the actual FIRST Control game whereas the first Control almost seems like a Prologue establishing the universe if that makes sense.I was hoping we would get more answers on The Board/Former but after finishing the game its clear they want to build an entire universe for Control going forward.
Kinda crazy how they basically quadrupled the enemy variety from the first control.Why couldn’t they do the same with Alan wake 2?
>>748857647>and completely destroyed movement.How so?
>>748857929Was Grandmas letters not clear enough????
The patch today fixes a TON of stuff including HDR and adds in a ton of stuff that was apparently not ready for launch. Neat. >>748833016>A freeform weapon wheelThere are like 6 mods that do this. I don't use it but people seem to enjoy it.
>>748858531that game only has the dark presence corrupting people. here there's the hiss, the mold, the hedron, the clog monster, the not-mother, etc
>>748853975>>748854386>The Last Taxi endingThe first time in years a sidequest left me devestated like that
>>748858127>resistant to raw damage>mfw strike + extend + wide edgeIt didn't actually turn out to be a huge problem but I was a bit pissed when it first said that.
>>748858531They somehow regressed from the first game with Alan Wake 2's enemies. Kind of impressive in a way.
>>748858613Will the dark presence show up in control resonant dlc?
>>748857815>The summon is betterWhich one? There are multiple.
>>748857929>>748858560You can also hear the parents fighting if you try to go back downstairs at (I think) the part where you get grounded. Mom says they only had one kid and dad thinks she's crazy and tells her to take her meds.
Where the FUCK do they even go in the sequel?Surely a return to Orindary, and actually fighting the Not Mother???
>>748839716was expecting Bless to show up in some waymaybe the foreign FBC was Bless?
So what the fuck is or where the fuck are those missing slides?
>>748859165what do you mean>>748858878The Not Mother either got Hedroned out of existance or is chilling in the Temple that had its slide burned out
>>748858878>Where the FUCK do they even go in the sequel?i was thinking of becoming a resonant and fighting in the dimension where the board is against other resonants on some real wacky shit devil dagger levels of kaleidoscope fuckery thats what i would do, now would that sell? probably not, the third will probably use unknown as a baseline for what all open world areas should be or better might even use a new protagonist from the viewpoint of the spying faction trying to go to war with the FBC who knows lots of shit they could do here with objects of power etc ordinary they already dealt with the 2d section so i doubt they will
>>748858878Not mother is a jobber. She lost to two kids with no paranatural powers. She's just not a legitimate threat after the Hiss and Hedron.
>>748859269anon a god instantly erased itthe kids weren't really part of that
>>748859340Right my bad. I kind of forgot that. I just remembered her chasing them and then the projector getting shut down.Even then, Polaris was old/weak compared to the Hedron in this game. Not mother would maybe be on the level of an average Hiss goon.
>>748837997Sorry that's only available for the protected class of pre-ordering ps5 players
>She gives you that lookWhat did she see?
>>748858262>>748858398the FBC did my boy Fra dirty
It's really nice to see Jesse and Dylan work together
>>748857929>>748858413There's a bunch of stuff that hard confirms there was one child originally and heavy implications that Severed Circle 2 is what changed them to two. Things are mostly pointing to Jesse Dylan being split to Jesse and Dylan, but there's minor hints that time shenanigans swapped the child for two alternate versions from different timelines. You get some implications from it through things in the game flashbacks like their bedroom only having one desk and one bedframe (Dylan's mattress is on the floor), the fault where Dylan talks about how there were only him and his parents when he's the younger child and there's only a one year age gap between him and Jesse, him suddenly acknowledging Jesse existing after talking about playing Severed Circle 2, and the game cover art for the game on Dylan's shirt, which features 2 protagonists one is a brown haired male knight with a sword the other is a pink/red haired female spellcaster. And we know neither is the "original" because of Dylan talking about a Dream where before stuff happened there was a girl named Jesse Dylan Faden in a conversation from Control 1. The stuff pointing towards timeline stuff is mostly that there was an unusually large number of jewelry and stuff in the pond and Hugo being in the town despite no records of him existing, but a family with the same name living at the same address in another state. And in NG+, you get a video where Darling outright confirms that records outside of Ordinary only indicate one child existing and when requested to bring Jesse in, the Board said no because they must be kept "separated."
>>748859914you turning on dlss5's ugly ass ai filter
>>748858878more important question is: will it take them 7 years again to release a sequel? because Jesse and Dylan will be in their 50s by then, unless they stop setting their games in current year.
>>748859205Aren't two slides missing??I thought it was confirmed that Jesse hid a couple of them, they burned 6 but there was 8.Maybe I'm getting mixed up
>>748858878>>748859247>>748860171Make Fred the protagonist of the next oneNot even joking, it could actually work
>>748858878playing as Jesse Dylan Faden with a mix of both Control 1 and Resonant's gameplays
>>748832514I love you op
>the infinite apartment building missionCan we have more of this and less of this repetitive open world
>>748860532The levels get more backroomsy, the first half does a good job teeing up the more elaborate sections that come later on.
>>748860532Your in luck
Why the fuck is there so much hate towards this game on any social media post I see and its all from browns in the middle east?
>>748861135Their izzat demands it.
>>748858878They keep mentioning werewolves, I'm almost certain you'll be playing as a werewolf in the next game.
>>748859506Polaris isn't that weak. The impression I get is that she's some weird third entity in the Hedron-Hiss dynamic and the Hedron in 1 simply "woke her up" for lack of a better term. In fact, Polaris is probably the only reason the Patterning didn't simply smash Jesse aside like everything else up until nearly the climax of the game.
>>748858878Ordinary + slides in the Slide Projector. Dylan making the Gap slide will probably be used to make/re-make slides. Traveling to different dimensions might be how he finds/wakes Jesse.>>748860178Jesse burned 6 into an unusable state, which included House, Temple, and Meadow. Hand was left intact and inside the projector. I don't recall if it was elsewhere in the dump, or it just survived Jesse burning it, but Trench recovered a partially burnt slide that was how the Hiss got in. And then there was a 9th that Dylan created into existence and passed it to Jesse after she ran off, and apparently Dylan warping it into existence has sort of "always" happened, because a document in Control 1 says Jesse says there were 9 slides, but Dylan says there were only 8. There could be more since the Hand slide is numbered 36, but there weren't anymore at the dump.
>>748861135I see nothing but positivity. All the hate I see is only from here and all the haters either obviously have very poor reading comprehension, are ESL or dmc fans desperate for anything
Don't talk to me or my sons ever again
>marketing threadthanksgame's like 6.5 ubislops out of 10 and that's generous just cause i liked the 1st one
>>748859914do you think Jessie would fuck her?
>>748859968I took the 16bit segment as a latent AWE finally "awakening" and disrupting everything.I havent played NG+ yet, where do you find that video of Darling?
>>748837706People are not posting cringe images of that shit game because it's good. That's not even a screenshot from the game, you play as a black girlboss for nearly all of the game.
>>748859914>>748861715>the actress has that cute lisp IRL tooBros......
How do I get consistent IMPACT FRAMES?I saw someone say that you actually need to unlock and upgrade the other weapons even if you don't use them for damage potential.I've only had two in 36 hours and want to go full anime shit in NG+
>>748839716I'll take it, shame we can't have Lance too
>>748861345>I see nothing but positivity.There is one schizo on /v/ who hates it and comes seething in the thread from time to time.
>>748861853She reminds me of prime Anna Faris
>>748850601This completely obliterated any credibility he had.
>>748861959The more you level your Abberant the more damage it does is what i know. Don't know about impact frames but once you level the Abberant parts you use you should level up the rest since every new weapon *perk* point raises your damage.
>>748861959Every upgrade you unlock increases your attack power even if it's a different weapon form or finisher
No matter how much I fiddle with the graphics settings the game just refuses to make the world textures load in fully and everything is stuck looking blurry and shit.Why is this game gaslighting me.
>>748862340How much VRAM? Did you let shaders compile before starting?
does it ever go back to the scp foundation setting? i would have liked a sequel of more of that stuff instead but thats just me
>>748862440I have 32 gb of RAM going on here. I don't know whether I'm "letting" it compile the shaders or not, it's just launching on Steam, so I guess that could be it. I'm only shooting for "High" settings here.
>>748861731That specific one is from beating NG+. I think the other NG+ exclusive documents are after you beat each section of the main story.
IT IS IDOCTOR INSANO
>>748862779Show them who's the boss, Dylan
>>748862779Hello Director Faden
I'm now at the tough choice I've seen a lot of anons pondering over, Ignite vs Inferno. Inferno is just more satisfying to use, the animation looks so cool, but Ignite has such amazing synergy with Split Pivot since I can activate after he throws the round trip and it'll be an instaburn for very little meter. What do.
>>748863125But Fred is the Director?
>>748863248 (me)Wait, not just very little meter. Since the Split Pivot was thrown before Inferno, it keeps generating Power while also applying burn. This is great.
>been watching the Frankie streamsShes fucking gorgeous bros.....
>>748863248>>748863340I picked the one that makes your weapons do fire damage but when I got an extra ability unlock I picked the other fire ability and found it worked much better for my playstyle
>>748832990About what
>>748861715Of course lmao.Emily would totally facesit her
>>748863340Here, recorded to show basically free burn status.>>748863476Yeaaah, it just feels so much cooler to do those fire punches. I'm torn. If their vertical hitboxes were a tiny bit larger so that I could hit ground to air and air to ground it would be a no brainer, but they whiff a lot if you're not on the same level as the enemy.
>>748862676RAM and VRAM are not the same thing doofus.
>>748863383Where are her Khazar milkers?
so, how woke is it? are we talking stealth woke like KCD2? anal woke 2 woke?
>>748864989Too woke for thee.
>>748864989A woman is talking. It's woke.
>>748864989The only thing I can remember is two women who are, at the most, implied to be dating.
>>748858619Out of your hands.
This is where they should have used the rock music instead of at the start of unknown.
>>748865974*Real spoiler*When Dylan ripped off the MCD and went full Hist sicko mode straight tearing through the resonant entities with a loyal army of Hiss monsters I said "fuck yeah" out loud and internally fist pumped
Do you think the last Taxi is easier for 4chan users because of the constant spot the difference captchas we are subjected to?
>>748865974yeah the start of unknown made no sensethe sinkhole escape was great at least
>>748851568I got gaped by the co-director, didn't even get his health to half before losing the dps race. Turns out you actually have to upgrade the other aberrant forms you aren't using to get stronger and I was intentionally gimping myself for no reason.After actually leveling up I beat him first try. Only time I had even died until then. The game really isn't that hard
>>748864989Remedy Woke. You can tell they're woke, but they're still trying to tell a story first, not lecture the audience. Dylan isn't trying to become a better man, in fact they go out of their way to reframe a lot of the "so quirky and funny XD" characters from the first game as abusers, since that's exactly what they were from Dylan's perspective.The white male schizo is the biggest victim in the story.
Don't eat the mold
I started playing Anal Wake after Control, is Nightingale FBC?
>>748837487>started working for BBCshe can work on mine
Enemies definitely got a fair bit tankier after doing my third boss (furnace), but I don't have a problem with that. I'm kind of glad all of the stuff I just spent a bit practicing after unlocking the new power is actually making a big difference. If they still died as quickly as before I might as well not even equip the new ability.But instead I feel like the battles are more demanding, and I need to try harder, but they still end up not lasting very long because I focus more on triggering all the bullshit.
>>748866786FBC did not exist at that point, don't worry about it while playing Alan Wake 1, 2 will make any retcon obvious, you don't have to try to connect dots that weren't there before.
>>748866871I don't think it's unreasonable that they had some stuff planned even back then
The third game is going to be about Neil being able to fuse with different animals to fight the mold mother right?
>>748858127didn't even realize they were resistant to raw damage, once you knock them in the air they're super easy to falter
>>748858878>thinking this will get another gamecorrect me if I'm wrong, but didn't this kinda flop financially? Heard the sales numbers were underwhelming
Any chance for DLC? Normally they announce it prior to release (they did that with Control 1 at least)
Just finished the Sinkhole level.This game... it's just too peak...
>>748859931Is there anyone FBC didn't do dirty?
>>748837706No GOG no buy.
>>748850601And he was right.
>>748867703currently just cosmetics is announced thats it, its going to be a while for expansions i can see them add stuff in like half a year or so
>>748840509Not really, no. Combat is the only lacklustre part of the game.It is not bad. It is actually very polished (it honestly is the most polished combat in a game since DMC5) but it lacks that je ne sais quoi that japanese studios have. Dylan also is more of a brawler so his fighting style and tools aren't creative or technical.
I'm finishing up all the sidequests and DLCs in the first game before I play this one. The game didn't click with me at all until the final credits rolled, then I wanted to do all the content.
I hope when we eventually see Neil he is just having a great time with his dog powers. The guy that got the worst of it without being a braindead monster is the only one happy.
>>748867703I'm gonna try using AI to basically add DLC. The mod I'm working on is turning out great and I have an idea to make combat even cooler if my idea can even work but we'll see. I've got a 3 day weekend to test things out to see if I can get AI to make more of what I want
>>748847657But you already are fat.
>>748867703Unlikely. Whenever they plan big DLC, they both announce and include future access to it as part of Deluxe/Collector's edition. Did it with Control 1 and Alan Wake 2, and even Alan Wake 1's CE included access to the first DLC; the second DLC was pretty much the only exception to this. With how much attention the game is getting, it's definitely possible that they'll cobble something up, but it probably isn't something that they pre-planned and are already working on.
>>748869069>that'sthejoke.jpg
>>748868296The game doesn't have DRM retard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhcb3TqhCCsdigital foundry LOVED control resonants path tracing moderay reconstruction fixes all noise, 300+ fps with frame gen. Performance combined with image quality which would've been unthinkable just some years ago.
>>748869947>good graphics is when you can't see shitCyberpunk does the same thing with PT, way too dark in broad daylight, presumably because it doesn't have enough bounces to convincingly simulate how real life natural lighting would actually look like
