Keep going! You're almost there? GO INTO THE LIGHT!!!! :p

[neoadorable]

yep, episode three was freakin endless, they didn't balance that one at all compared to the other episodes.

[Osiris]

still going.....I wonder if the game is designed to ease up after dieing numerous times. 4th time on the tractor was a breeze hehe yes I suck I know :p

It does, it was said before the game was released by Remedy that the AI is dynamic and scales to you, so even on say hard mode or Nightmare (though I only played through once on normal atm) if you die a few times I figure it should ease up on you. Dunno how long it takes but that's what they said.

Well finaly finished this. I feel I got my moneys worth, overall not too bad. Light play is cool, playing at night with the lights off for me felt just like watching a good thriller at times. Episode 3 unbalances the game and ep1,2,3 make far too much use of the woods but overall still enjoyable. I did finish the game going wtf though. Thought I just completely didnt understanda thing but I see theres no concrete explanation to the ending out there.

Eitherway scratch that off the list, time to swap this for a bit of RDR.

Finished the gme. Fricking loved it. It's a game made with love and dedication.

This year Alan Wake and Heavy Rain are expanding the narrative possibilities in gaming.

Not sure what kind of comment that is.

The kind of comments made by idiots who thinks that their experience is the only valid one :yes:

I haven't started my 2nd playthrough yet but I'm going to at some point, on nightmare (gotta get all the manuscript pages).

Can't wait for the first DLC as well. NEED MORE!

[neoadorable]

yes, that added content would be good just about now, thank you.

[Neowinian]

I really want to get this game, but I just feel like i'd be wasting my money.

[smiff]

So why post that then? You can read through this thread to see how much it's liked by those who played it. Including me (I think).

If you really want it, buy it - if you don't want it, don't bother. Brain surgery, eh?

Do you just want people to convince you that you wouldn't be wasting your money? well you wouldn't...

Jesus, are people seriously losing the ability to think for themselves?

[mistical]

I really want to get this game, but I just feel like i'd be wasting my money.

I agree with smiff above, why post anything then? The game is great, but that is for you to decide. You may forget but you have the option to rent the game as well from Blockbuster, Gamefly or any other video game rental service. My suggestion to you would be to rent the game if you feel as if you would be wasting money.

Sweet, I need to get done with my 2nd playthrough quick then, doing it to find the cofee thermus and manuscripts I missed the first time. Though I messed up and missed the very last one at the end of chapter 2 again! orz.

[Massiveterra]

Saw some previews and trailers and it's pretty crazy. Wish I didn't see them though because they do have spoilers, and for an hour and a half DLC, that's pretty huge

[neoadorable]

so when is this coming out? can't wait

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

The Signal is available now, dig out your DLC codes :)

[Hedon]

Hubba hubba! The Signal FTMFW!

[Lingwo]

Just downloaded it...

Anybody remember the controls and how to play the game? :laugh:

[George P Global Moderator]

Osnap, I'll have to login and check it out. I've been playing dead space on PC to pass the time.

[Knightwolf20024]

if you used your code before the dlc was available microsoft is sending replacement codes out.

To those who redeemed their codes before release

[Lingwo]

What a big disappointment... it seemed rushed and made up as they went along and didn't really explain anything? Also some of the battles were a pain, i think i died more on this DLC than i did in the entire Alan Wake game.

[George P Global Moderator]

It didn't feel rushed to me at all, maybe you thought that way because it's "short"? Though for me, taking my time, I think I finished it in around ~2hr's looking for things. Though I still missed 2 alarm clocks and 1 cardboard thingy. :angry: Anyways, I thought the battles were pretty creative, and faster, which is also why I also died like 5 or 6 times in this but It was fun either way, can't wait for the 2nd party to end this mini-sequel.

[neoadorable]

agree with Lingwo, this Signal is way too hard, much harder than the campaign proper. some of the battles are just baddie dumps, for a story-driven affair they are nothing but filler and pace breakers. i don't think it was rushed, but the design is lacking.
