JoyStiq Writes: "Outside of the knowledge that a second episode of DLC for Alan Wake -- titled "The Writer" -- will be coming sometime this fall and that it will cost 560 MS Points ($7), little else is known about the developer's plans for the future of the series."
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
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.
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
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? 🙄
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.
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
I'll certainly be buying. Interested to see what subtle gameplay variations they bring this time. Hopefully, they conclude this side-story as well.
The Signal was pretty good. Will be picking this up as well.
What I don't like about this whole thing?
It's like they are putting out DLC just to well: keep it going.
And yeah I get that but it feels like, Here buy Alan Wake, this effing epic game but later on we are going to add DLC.
I know it happens with a lot of Games, BUT these kind of Games shouldn't have DLC.
When you finish the story: Done, there you go.
It also feels like Remedy isn't 100% on board with this DLC stuff.
I will get Alan Wake for sure someday just sadd to see that they ( MS) are shooting DLC down our mouths. ( Same goes for Bioshock 2 by the way)
I didn't like Alan Wake too much, it was very repetitive. The atmosphere was great and so was the lighting but it was far too linear and not enough variety. I think Remedy has a great foundation here with this IP to really expand on it. They just wasted a lot of time making it.
