[@ek2who]

It's not. There are many creative people but Remedy's main phenomen is that they are the only studio on the planet who makes expensive AA+ games according to their own rules. They earned a small but loyal audience.

[@KennyJordana]

I don't give an F what anyone tells me because Alan Wake 2 was a dope game. I'm definitely going to be playing this expansion 👊🏿

[@why772]

Such an amazing surprise, I just bought the digital deluxe edition since it was on sale on PS5. Hope I'll have time to play it later today, haven't been able to stop thinking of this game since it released last year.

[@Dezzyyx]

definitely one of the more impressive games in a long time, should have had goty. playing the first game right before for the first time made it even better, quite a journey

[@ButMadNNW626]

Nothing was stopping you buying it sooner except your own rigidity. Enjoy the game, it’s great.

[@ROR5CH4CH]

@@ButMadNNW626 I'm not so happy being called "rigid" for wanting to actually own a game physically, therefore being able to lend it to friends or even sell it after some time if I want or need to. That's why we have physical media after all. Also I don't like internet dependency. But you know what's actual rigidity? That I still would have bought it on steam, because I despise the epic store. That I stand up for :P

[@Dezzyyx]

​@@ROR5CH4CH well just prepare that sooner or later physical media will be gone. I actually like physical myself, but when it's going that way might as well start being ok with it. that's me though. but yeah there's something special about physical. I remember before my local gamestop shut down, picking up a game on release day was such a blast. then get a good return by selling it back to the store

[@robinwindsrygg9568]

@@ROR5CH4CH This makes no sense to me. You don’t own anything when you own the physical edition. Most of them require Internet downloads/updates, because the files contained on disc are incomplete or even obsolete when you get it (if you even get a disc). The PS2/CD/DVD-rom era was over a long time ago, and pretending you «couldn’t» buy the game before they released a hollow shell containing nothing but a cash-grab doesn’t justify that in my view. If you want to support game devs, then buy the product they’re offering when they need the support during those crucial first months, not after the project has or hasn’t succeeded.

So is this the 1st DLC for AWII

[@brody1567]

Yes it is

[@philipajfry]

I played the DLC. It's a teaser if nothing else. Exciting for the future, but a bit anemic. A VERY creative asset flip, haha.

Pending on how many years a player has invested in the series, I think mileage may vary.

Control crossover Jesse Faden

[@RapidPrince9]

It's not a crossover, they been in the same universe since Alan Wake 1.

[@TheDestroyerX]

@@RapidPrince9 yeah they shared the same universe, but she is now in Alan Wake II

[@RapidPrince9]

@@TheDestroyerX I get that, but he was also in Control. The thing I'm excited for is that she looks like she won't have her abilities, and she might be using a flashlight like the main game. Also Tim Breaker is gonna be awesome to play as and Rose.

[@madproduction109]

And Tim Breaker already talked about Quantum Break and his quote here ''and I'll come back for you my love'' is a reference to quantum break as well. His character Jack Joyce in Quantum Break said ''i'll come back for you'' to Beth Wilder. And Beth Wilder is played by Courtney Hope (the same actress who plays Jesse Faden in Control)

this is such BS to all of us who bought the game on digital when they told us it would be "digital only" and now they will release a hard copy. they should give us a free copy

[@Sammysapphira]

"Please buy our game again" So shameless. Alan wake 2 was such a colossal failure.

[@platinum2905]

It had some problems, but compared to other games released that year it was rather good. Pretty much every game nowdays has DLC's, new game plus, remasters and so on... It's not remedy's fault...

Alan wake 2 is a masterpiece it didn’t sell well but the game itself was amazing

[@js2765]

I didn't like the game. It was just linear and all show and no content. It was not a terrible game, but it was forgotten after a month or two.

[@ILoveHoneyBunss]

Single player will always be forgotten after a few weeks but saying that Alan Wake 2 doesn't have any content is wild just say you don't have an attention span longer than 5 minutes

[@BigMek667]

No Content? I played for like 25 hours till I had seen everything. That's pretty neat for a single player game that's so well crafted. Max Payne 2 was like 4 hours and i still remember every minute.

[@M.G.F427]

The manuscript pages alone have content for hours of speculation

[@wiwopkxmapknt6251]

Cope harder buddy

[@tonyvi9994]

Different strokes for different folks. Was this your first survival horror? You a new gamer that likes all their games to be open world?
