Alan Wake

Well, I was going to wait on this game due to the fact I have too many other games to play and am broke, but my buddy who works at a game store's selling it to me for $40 so I can't say no to that! Just wondering from those who are playing it now what they think of it? My buddy who I'm buying it from said the atmosphere's a lot like the early Silent Hill games.

I absolutely adore it so far and in no way regret getting it over Red Dead Redemption. 5 years of love put into this baby, and it shows every step of the way.

Alan Wake does look good, might be something I'll pick up next pay day. Perhaps after Grand Theft Horse(Red Dead Redemption), though.

Hey evidently I'm not the only one who thinks like that.

Alan Wake gets his powers of...writing from nightmares. He stopped dreaming so he's A.Wake

OH YOU ARE INDEED CLEVER DEVS. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!

Beat the game last Friday. It was really good, but it felt kinda... incomplete. The best way I can describe it is that you paid $60 or $70 for 75% of a game and they're reserving the final 25% for DLC so they can cash in more... and the sad thing is I'm going to drop the money for the final 25% because I really enjoyed the story.

Don't forget that at the very least, the first bit of DLC is free, which is a fantastic move on their part if you ask me. At least it gives you a little incentive.

Not free for me. My buddy's a game store manager and gave me a staff discount so instead of paying $70+ for it I only paid for $40 for a used copy. Still ends up being cheaper than paying for it new. I'll gladly pay for it to support the studio so it can make more great games like this one.

That's not bad at all. I work at a Gamestop, so you could always have him do what I do: Scour the used copies for leftover codes. That pays off more often than you'd think.

That's actually an excellent idea! I'll message him and see if he can do that for me.

Sweet. I'll keep a lookout while I'm at it. Couldn't hurt!

When I traded in my copy of Dragon Age, I removed the codes from the case and sold them on eBay for slightly under what you'd pay for them on X-Box Live.

Finished. I'm surprised that nobody is discussing this game. Looks like Rockstar's flavor of the year overshadowed it. :[

I think its a great game but I haven't got that far into it yet lol

Just beat it the other night. I really liked it and it does have that early Silent Hill feel; plus I like how the story is really open to different interpretations. The one thing I did hate though was, like you said, the ending felt incomplete. And now we have to wait another month to wrap up that last loose end.

If we're lucky. I remember reading somewhere that Remedy said this won't expand upon Alan Wake's conclusion. We may even end up playing as different characters. IE. Nightingale.

So, uh, without spoiling it, what do you all mean when it feels incomplete? Does it set it up for a sequel or leave some things unexplain or not finish the storyline or etc?
