Forums - Microsoft - Official Alan Wake Review Thread (Metacritic)

So the other guy with his second coming comment was doing nothing wrong?
Are you honestly telling me you thought AW would be the second comming? Really?
Funny how only PS fans are saying that. Will you be buying it?
You have to understand how much the 360 gets trolled.

And relax. It's only an internet thread. Don't get so worked up.

So the PS3 guy thought it to back up a comment made by another ps3 guy when commenting about 360 owners on a 360 game yet showing us no actual proof.
Bet they wouldn't stand for those tatics by 360 owners in a ps3 exclusive thread.


Wow man you're obsessed about "PS3 vs. 360." Just bc ps3 is my favorite system means I can't have an opinion? Grow up. I said nothing wrong, and neither did the other guy. How is saying I expected a game (that so happens to be a 360 game) to get awesome reviews a bad thing? Stop getting your panties in a bunch.

Actually, it seemed to me that is was the few 360 fanatics that were throwing the "AAA status" games in the faces of PS3 owners earlier on.  Especially since the 360 came out first so there were more games, and games such as Lair and Heavenly Sword failed to live up to hype.  So now it's the few PS3 owners who are "getting back" at those few 360 owners.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

Honestly? Yeah, I thought the game was going to blow ppl away - for 2 reasons: 1)bc of some of the footage-the atmosphere and the intensity of some of the scenes I saw was pretty amazing imo; and 2)bc of the development cycle. There aren't many games taking more than 3-4 years to develop that don't end up being blockbusters. And this game has had the longest development time I've actually ever heard of-almost 6 years.

As for only ps fans thinking it was going to do well, I've heard a lot of ppl hyping this game and just being generally ecstatic for its release. If you want a specific example, talk to Slimebeast. He's a definite 360 fan and was expecting the game to get a 94+ metacritic, and that's actually lower than what I was expecting to be honest. I was expecting 95-96+.

Anyways, I guess I don't know as well as you do how much 360 threads get trolled; all I know is that I try not to do it, or to even sound like I am. Which is why I was surprised by your response. I do love the PS3 for my personal tastes, but I try at the same time to be level headed. I can't stand ppl that act like 4 year olds in this "console war" and force themselves to be blind to anything positive the opposing system has. When 360 fanboys do it, it frustrates me; but when ps3 fanboys do it, it frustrates me, annoys me, AND embarrasses me.



Difference between blowing people away and being the second coming.
Difference between saying it's amazing and deliberately over-exaggerating peoples excitement levels so you can imply its a failure then having someone else back up your false statement in some poor way to prove the lie true.

Do you see what you two did now or at least how I could interpret both of your actions?

I do believe you are the lesser of two evils.

well they certainly seemed fairly impressed and comment on the graphics being just amazing too

Your post here is fine

 

Hey, if I tell you I don't think Alan Wake looks as good as Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 (which I believe is true) will you promise not to argue with anyone in my thread should anyone try? for me?!

Uncharted 2 looked like crap to me...

Hmm... I've seen this condition before. Very dreadful but there is hope!!!

 

Problem solved

I'm just sayin it is overly praised for lookin great...Hell GOW3 looked better in my opinion

But some people consider GOW3 the best looking game on consoles (I don't) but a lot do. I'm not saying that uncharted 2 is stylized, but if stylized has no matter

Crysis Flat out looks better than anything else ever.

That said if style matters, none of these games win IMO

I never played Crysis only thing I seen where online photos that dont do just like seeing the game for urself

but I have a ordinary laptop so I wont be able to witness that games graphical powers LOL

Well regardless of how the reviews play out I am still buying this game. It looks and sounds like an interesting title in my opinion. And since most reviews have been above 80 that lets me know that the game is good.

I currently have the limited edition pre-ordered is anyone else on here getting the limited edition of the game I think they offer enough goodies to justify the price?

I'll be preorderin the Limited Edition next week

You are braver than I am.  I always have to pre-order at least a month in advance just to feel comfortable because if I wait I start to worry that the limited editions will be gone.

Well, as many here probably know, Alan Wake was already pirated, i did a research about what they might think about the game, since they are the first ones to play!

It's unanime: The game is amazing!
Still... critics said the main issue is: repetitiveness gameplay. I didn't see anyone complaining about it, but i can't deny this fact, cause "repetitiveness gameplay" can be analyzed differently by players!

OBS: How can Alan Wake be already pirated? It wasn't released anywhere yet!


It is obvious that they consider a good game to be amazing. The did not pay nothing! :P



Wow this thread is a shitstorm. The game will be very much like Heavy Rain. You'll either love it's style or you wont. There is basically 2 different types of reviews for this game. Some say it's the best horror scare game ever. Others complain it's to linear.

At the end of the day. Who cares.

The best Horror games before it were linear to hell. If you play the genre you know what I mean.

Resi 1 - 5, Alone In The Dark, Silent Hill.

For the ganme to give it's hair on back syndrome you have to craft it for the player.

I for one am gonna love it.

BTW Alan Wake is 85 meta now.



Seems to be some backlash from some of the more PC centric magazines, that are still upset over the game being delayed for so long and then eventually pulled all together.
