And you wonder why people here don't take you seriously.


Well lets be honest. It's only the opposite fanboys who cry.

MY comments are fully justified. Or did you miss the fantastic comments in the trailer from IGN and other reviews. Sigh. Instead of moaning buy a 360 so you can play it.

How did they get owned? The trailer is good but it's not THAT amazing that it destroys RE and SH..


The comments from IGN, Gamespot etc in the trailer. Gives the impression of 94+ meta. One comment even states GOTY contender. Funny enough only 2 games this year have ha comments like that from reviews. Mass Effect 2 and now Alan Wake.

Another comment stated it one-ups TV. I really cant wait to play this. Especially the tech of the engine. That was goddamn the best video Ive seen on tech for consoles.

But the comment about one-upping TV was from Complex (never heard of them), and the one about early GotY contender was from Techland Blog (I don't think I'm even remembering the full name correctly, so you can guess they're the same as Complex), and these aren't comments from reviews because none of those sites have given a review.

 

How about a bet, I bet you sig and avatar control for a month that Alan Wake will not get a 94+ meta?  I'm curious how much you really believe that.



...

I'm officially excited. Just finished Splinter Cell: Conviction, and I'm in the mood for some more epic storytelling...



Really selnor? So all those reviewers that said GOW III is an easy GOTY contendor never happened?

Oh yeah. You took those serious? When has a hacker ever won GOTY?

Resi 4 did. Oblivion did. But a hacker game never has. I kinda assumed they were being nice.

But still my comment was based purely on the comments from reviewers. Not the graphics or trailer itself. 



I never said it was going to win GOTY, and um idk ask god of war which won game of the year in 2005, and ask God of war II which won PS2 game of the year in 2007.

We just went through this with you and Forza 3.  OMGZ, the greatest thing ever, GOTY, blah, blah, blah.  Basically, any 360 exclusive gets the same treatment.  It's rather predictable and boring.  If you would at least wait unitl you've played it, you might get a little more respect from everyone.  I'm sure after this come out and doesn't do as well as you predict, you'll quickly move to Halo:Reach.

I actually already have a sig bet. Otherwise I'd consider it.

On the review thing. Trailers often have review comments before a review has aired. Especially from games with embargos. Those commetns will be in the reviews for the game from those reviewers. But Remedy have put them in the official advertising trailer. Which makes perfect sense.

I fully believe that Alan Wake can achieve a great meta score. I think you will be pleasently surprised at how awesome this game is. I think it will beat any Resi or SH game score ever on Meta.

Isn't God of War 3 one of the favourite for GOTY so far? Conviently forgot that didn't you? Seems like you xbox guys can just go around talking whatever crap you like and no one picks you up on it cause you're the minority.
