So what do you guys think about those Alan Wake games? Since they're on sale on GOG...
"
While at first glance this looked like a great game - I was looking forward to it for some time - it soon disappointed me horribly. The beginning was promising, only to become a tedious, boring variation of 16-second-cutscenes and 10 minutes of run-through-the-woods-while-taken-chase-you bit. Unnerving indeed. The story is nothing new, but fitting, the problem is that finding the manuscript pages is pretty much an ingame-spoiler that tells you exactly what is going to happen in the next cutscene. I was really hoping forward to an intelligently written, atmospheric horror game - that is probably why I didn't enjoy it much. You can say that this is my personal problem, but I don't think there's many people out there that are searching for something like this when there are better action- and horrorgames out there, while Alan Wake is a mediocre fusion of both. I'm not even going to start on how terribly clunky console-ported controls feel at times because this seems to be standard in the industry as of now."
Not scary, not fun, not anything. And clunky as hell. Plus, Alan Wake's every other sentence
is Stephen King this, Stephen King that... man, i like Stephen King, a lot, and this game has
NOTHING to do with King. And with so much hype behind it, game is horrible disappointment.
