>has some of the best atmosphere in any game ever
>has some of the worst "gameplay" in any competent big release
How? Literally all they had to do was copy Resident Evil and it would have been the greatest thing ever but instead:
>Endless walking
>Garbage """puzzles"""
>Doesn't respect your time
>When combat is actually there, it's clunky and unfun
What a fucking disappointment.
The text "Alan Wake" in the title should have been the tip-off that the gameplay was not going to be good.
>Worse than the first game and Control
How. Control had competent gameplay. How did they get worse?
The flashlight mechanic is super annoying in Alan Wake 2. It uses charges and fires in bursts now, which is less intuitive than Alan Wake 1, but even worse is that it bugs out constantly making you miss like 50% of the bursts which are a resource. That and enemies love to just teleport to you mid attack and the dodge only works like 50% of the time.
It's not the worst, but it doesn't feel as fluid as Control or even Alan wake 1,
because alan wake isn't a run and gun action hero. they made that game with american nightmare and there really isn't all that much you can improve on "shine light -> shoot bad guy".
even the first alan wake game barely had bosses. it was actually smart of them to lean more into the weird twin peaks-y reality bending narrative shit they were doing. they actually really excel at that.
>comparing this trash to twin peaks
lmao
well they both make no fucking sense, and are based on reality bending meta mind palace garbage, so yeah, fair comparison I think
filtered
really the only big difference is how crits work
ah, twin peaks defense force comes to the rescue with "filtered" and "lynched" as per usual whilst also getting filtered from AW2 and getting fucking WAKED. you sure got me guys
dunno i liked it. nothing super special but pretty interesting little game
Wake
>sequel to boring slog of a game
>is a boring slog
Oh no Alone Wankers, who could have seen it coming?
Remedy really needs to hire some new people for gameplay. That is try far their weak point.
*by far
and I don't mean they need to radically change their style, but it really needs some tweaking to make it fully fun.
>That is try far their weak point.
I like most Remedy games and I agree. Even during QB the gameplay was kind of meh. If you watch any of their dev logs, they have a lot of people focusing on graphics, narrative and storytelling but the gameplay people are nowhere to be seen.
remedy is more interested in live action, this has been much more apparent in quantum break
gameplay is an afterthought
Why do incels hate this game so much?
>IMG_0511
>saying incel unironically
>has low standards
crazy
>>has some of the worst "gameplay" in any competent big release
It's really not that bad. Just aim at the head and make sure to swap weapons and be on the move.
I'm not even talking just the combat (which I don't like), but most of the time you're just walking or doing shitty """puzzles"""
>but most of the time you're just walking or doing shitty """puzzles"""
which can be skipped or done incredibly fast if you're paying attention
they did copy resident evil. the shooting felt very similar to the remakes of 2 and 3 and the inventory and hud are near identical. the structure of the levels are more like silent hill 2
It's like a fucking retard tried to copy it and made a significantly worse version
sounds like it's just a shittier version of everything it tries to be
>re combat, except worse
>twin peaks esque atmosphere, but worse
>silent hill level design, but worse
>make no fucking sense
LYNCHED
a MUCH shittier job, the atmosphere is the only thing top notch
>game has fine gameplay with focus on the world, characters and narrative
>why does game have the WORST GAMEPLAY EVER?
god.
one thing they should have done at least for the ps5 version is make use of the resistance triggers
it's used in shooting
Westoid devs just can't design good, challenging gameplay
its true
i cant remember the last westoid game i played that was actually genuine fun
Remedy isn't western tho. Unless you live in the east then it's western, but then to you what is eastern is western to me
Stupid Euronagger.
When people refer to the “West” they’re referring to Europeans and the countries that arose directly from them and the “East” refers to China and the countries directly cultural roots to them like Korea and Japan. This isn’t the Cold War era anymore where Russia is “the East”, you dense homosexual.
White piggu are techies that excel in innovation, technology, and coding but are incapable of making engaging and fun gameplay as everything they make focuses on graphics, story, and scale. Nips write spaghetti code and use obsolete technology (except for when they outsource it to whitebois) but make manage to make amazing gameplay comparatively due to having significantly lower budgets and a history of making games for arcades and consoles instead of PCs
Yes they can fucking retarded autist. Just stop buying AAA goyslop
>people praising same lake as this masterful writer
>even people with a room temp iq can see how hard alan wake was "influenced" by other series, writers, etc.
>game has literal youtube quality, almost pajeet like, "insert flashing jpeg here" jump scares
This is a joke right?
Maybe the people who praise the writing played the game ?
Well, yes, I think it's true and fair to say.
>realistic graphics
>atmosphere
never
Just finished AW1 and that was a fucking slog
Are you telling me that a decade later, they still haven't improved the combat?
What's there to improve? It's pretty much perfected. You shoot things with couple different weapons and things die. Pretty much the standard in these type off games since 90s
It went from GTA style 3rd person mechanic to watered down RE4 style mechanics. At least AW1 is still 95% undeveloped combat instead of 20% unrefined and undercooked combat
Artificial atmosphere
Remedy hasn't made a good game since Max Payne 2. Their games for the past 15 years are closer to being glorified interactive movies.
>>When combat is actually there, it's clunky and unfun
Sounds like Resident Evil
