Underrated Games of the Generation Volume 2: Horror games

Andrew Gonzalez from Xbox Enthusiast writes: "Welcome to the second installment of my Underrated Games of the Generation series. In the last article entitled “Obscure Games“, I talked about Lollipop Chainsaw and Catherine. This time around, I will be talking about horror games which I think are underrated. The purpose of these articles are to talk about games and encourage people to play games they may have never experienced."

Is Alan Wake underrated? I thought it was great. Those little TV Night Springs episodes were also great. Really added to the atmosphere. Too bad they scrapped the sequel, but hopefully Quantum Break will be good.

It sold about 3.5 million after as of recently (five years after launch.) The game had the unfortunate situation of being released on the same day as Red Dead Redemption. Plus, there was literally no advertising on TV for the game. You kind of had to know that it was coming out.

While people did buy it at launch, most people played it when the game was bundled with an Xbox 360 at one point and through word of mouth. It could've been so much bigger and that's one of the reasons I don't think we got a sequel. It would've been risky for Microsoft.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia32d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie32d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie32d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh32d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.

jznrpg50d ago

I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.

Venoxn4g49d ago

Great game, hopefully that we will get a sequel one day
