Why isn't this hack called out on his laughable writing?
Do people like to pretend his fake deep bullshit plots are remotely interesting?

IT'S PAYNE
it's video games man, 50% children, 50% manchildren. they don't know how to critique a story beyond pointing out when EPIC shit happens
Cuckjimbo fanboy seethe thread.
I mean, look into the mirror. Both fanbase is almost cultist. Both fapping to mediocrity because their fav dev is part of it.
how is MGS mediocre you homosexual?
peak reddit
People actually rike it.
that troony jim sterling gave alan walke 2 a 3/10
Really? Why?
kek
Even a broken wiener is right twice.
Nah, it just means that moronic britbongs obsessed with american politics (and their fans) are just as stupid and illiterate, regardless of which side of the isle they fall on. AW2 is based.
AW 2 is right up the troons alley, with the diversity pandering and everything, must be really shit if a subversive leftist like jim sterling gave it a 4/10 lmao
Sterling gave it 4/10 because it's not pandering ENOUGH. It gets the entire Sweet Baby Inc. shit out of the way in first 5 minutes and then moves on with what Sam originally intended.
might be a troony but at least it's accurate
>fan false flag thread #7657
Doesn't he have a fan website or something?
I find it interesting that only recently did he become well known enough to see people shitting on him on Ganker, despite being active for more than 20 years, and responsible for one of the most loved games here, Max Payne.
almost everything good about Max Payne stems from 3dRealms
holy cope. kys shart
What are you on about, its development was 100% Remedy all alone lmao
OP here. I messed up with the picture, it was supposed to be Hideo Kojima
becuase he does the amazing face
The writing is fine. You are just seething because you took the 2deep4u stuff too seriously
>you took the 2deep4u stuff too seriously
>doesn't take itself seriously.
lol. lmao even.
You can clearly tell the games take themselves seriously, outside of the forced ""funny"" bits.
His writing is mostly humorless post-MP1. What's the "fun" in Control and the Quantum thing? There's no fun, it's just serious start to finish.
>His writing is mostly humorless post-MP1
>You're a freaking cop you have to help me
famous last words.
>Your wife and the pizza guy deviously conspire to set you up, they kill themselves in your bed with your gun, proceed to chop each other to pieces with your chainsaw, and finally lure you to the backyard, where they patiently wait under the rosebush to inject you with V, and when you are helpless, they leak blood all over you and call the police. Anything to add?
The writing still has its moments.
>you're seething because...
So which is it?
im seething because my life is not a computer game (its in fact RL and gay and im a virgin)
People like his writing because its fun and doesn't take itself seriously.
I like Alan Wake 2 because of how serious it can be. The campyness isnt unbearable.. Camp is shit, especially when its grating. Alan Wake 2 wears its inspirations like a badge of honor, at least those manage to be "fun" while genuinely interesting and emotionally engaging.
"Its Fun," is a buzzword term
frick that crap
there's nothing more pathetic than writing that makes fun itself in advance so you feel less inclined to
you're not allowed to criticize westoid games
the writing in his games is great.

>Is that a heckin' callback to a 20 year old game?
>OH MY GOD SO KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow, such deep.
If he's making a mentally ill manchild incel like you seethe, then he's done a good enough job.
>I don't like it so other people shouldn't like it

>why do people (You) enjoy eating shit?
How the frick can anyone take this guy seriously irl? He looks turbogoofy
He was in that Quantum game, and in Control he attracted the SCP fanbase who hyped his garbage up. SCP fanbase is mostly children so they're easily impressed.
Why anyone likes any of the Alan Wakes I genuinely have no idea. They're boring as shit
Is this the max payne guy? Why do I keep seeing him around? He makes games now?
these threads are getting really boring OP
he made max payne too you fricking moron
He made Alan Wake 2, recently
Because he knows that already and he doesn't care.
Sam is a bettter human being than Kojima could ever hope to be
Idk I like his games, I think they're cool
I hate homosexuals that obsess over devs like this. They make games stop talking about them.
Maybe nobody would talk about him if he didn't crave attention.
>giving attention prostitutes attention
Stop being moronic.
He does write well, go play the original max payne etc..
The problem is that alan wake 2 had its script ruined by a company that is basically tumblr working designs.
They translated the game from english to terminally online.
>He does write well
Did you play Control? SB inc wasn't involved in it, as far as I know.
So its mostly the max payne dude writing?
i didnt realize how bad his fricking writing was until i played MP2 after 1. talk about phoning it in, even fricking voice actors sound fricking bored of the script. this guy is a fricking hack carried by his dev team that somehow became the face of Remedy. even just searching through the remedy credits its clear as soon as he took the helm of director for Quantum Break he had no fricking idea about game design.
Nice fanfiction you wrote up there anon, but Quantum break was a shitshow because
a) Microsoft wanted the TV show gimmick
b) Microsoft outsourced the TV show production to some homosexual american studio, who then started completely re-writing the characters and the story without ever telling Remedy
c) When Remedy finally got to see the TV show footage and realized they'd been fricked and most of the game had nothing to do with the TV show tie-in, Microsoft refused to reshoot and told Remedy to make the game fit the TV-show, which essentially meant entirely restarting development.
>a) Microsoft wanted the TV show gimmick
they always had a cinematic gimmick since MP1. sorry you're a fricking moron and didnt catch the trendy matrix and john woo inspired shit everybody was referencing at the time.
didnt read the rest of your moronic babbling. but its probably not worth looking into anyways. but a gameplay and writing shift is starting with AW1 with a decline in quality starting with MP2's writing (fun game otherwise).
>they always had a cinematic gimmick since MP1. sorry you're a fricking moron and didnt catch the trendy matrix and john woo inspired shit everybody was referencing at the time.
Having Lords and Ladies, Address unknown and Dick Justice is really the same as having a full on season of a TV show shot for a videogame. And you call me the moron.
My Lady?
My Lord?
My Lady...
My Lord!
The flesh. I think I died, I think I'm dead.
I don't know. I DON'T KNOW.
AND TIGHTEN YOUR BUTTOCKS
See, the character's name is John Mirra, 'cuz he's in the john, and he looks in the mirror!
>another kojimbo ball licker who can't stand that Sam Lake is more beloved than Hideo will ever be
lol we get it, you're pissy that Max Payne got a genuine blockbuster Hollywood adaption while the best Kojima has done is over pay B-tier actors so he can pretend to smoke cigarettes with them while they ignore his existence lmao.
No one is more pissed at Max Payne's movie than Sam.
The Max Payne movie was so pointless. The whole point of the game was that you were playing through a noir cop movie that you saw on TV. So making it into a TV adaptation makes it... another noir cop movie you saw on TV.
>The whole point of the game was that you were playing through a noir cop movie that you saw on TV
yeah. maybe if you're a zoomertard who only manages to catch that idea and ignores the other movies that reasonably had a higher influence on the game's design. sure.
>the two hacks cultists are beating each other with their pocky sticks and xxl bad dragon dildos
michaeljacksoneatingpopcorn.gif
Lake is one of the only good writers in the industry, and Remedy one of the few big studios willing to take creative risks and pursue true passion projects. Ganker is only seething lately because zoomers learned who he is from the Game Awards and it's cool to hate everything. Back in reality, most oldgays have held the studio in high regard since Max Payne.
>willing to take creative risks and pursue true passion projects
like CrossfireX
Yeah, fair enough, that is the exception. Though I haven't actually played it so I have no idea how much work they put in. But if doing shit like that keeps the lights on and allows them to make their own games, I don't mind so much.
Max 1 is kino tho.
HEY UH
I will never be as cool as Sami.
You only started thinking that his writing is "laughable" because you are jealous of him banging that porn star, just admit it.
What pornstar?
The linear sequence of scares line is genuinely good enough to salvage everything.
because he wrote max payne 1, which is better than your favourite game. you're only seething now because some homosexual youtuber told you to be mad and you're too stupid to have your own opinions.
>because he wrote max payne 1
his writing didnt carry it. but the performances sure did.
90% people here are just salty because AW2 is an Epic exclusive, that's about all there is to it.
i never thought his games were deep
just fun
>No perkele?
Lords and Ladies intro uses the same jingle as Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and it keeps fricking with me.
2deep4u
In a way, I'm happy that AW2 came out. At least I don't have to look forward to MP1 Remake anymore. I had a little morsel of hope that it wont be a turbocringe neo-marxist slop, but that's gone now. I feel like an another hero from my childhood will be brutally assblasted by Klaus Inc. for those sweet ESG buckaroos yet again.
Meds doko? Malla got replaced because she's busy with her singing career and being a mother. You're inventing scenarios to get mad at. Besides, Max Payne Remake isn't happening, because mcCaffrey died from cancer after AW2 got released.
Max Payne Remake is happening. IIRC, McCaffery finished recording all of his lines before his death.
>marxism out of thin air
Reminder that anyone who cries about saga would have cried about white saga anyways for a woman replacing Alan as a protag.
>this game's writing is horseshit
That's ok.
It's just a game.
I got super into Alan Wake 2 story and discussion, took a week off because I got burned out, and had a kind of post-nut clarity when I returned about just how trash it actually was. It was like a cult deprogramming simulation
I think the problem is it has great direction, visuals, and audio, good but somewhat scarce/oddly paced gameplay, and just awful writing,
Everything masks it, but just thinking back on it, it feels like nothing was happening, nothing was leading anywhere, and there is zero emotion to anything going on.
Like the Herald of Darkness music bit. Nothing really comes of it, it's just a cool visual ultimately, but usually when a game drops an original vocal song it's for an impactful moment. This one is just filler among all the other failed drafts of Alan trying to escape, set to him walking down hallways and climbing ladders. Most of the plot boils down to watching Alan bumble through shit like watching DSP struggle with a game, and then get solved by 2-3 layers of magical macguffins.
I have a feeling Sam is now kicking himself that he sold the IP rights to Rockstar, so he can't reference Max Payne in AW2 openly.
So, what's the deal with the Clicker? Was it always an AWE, or did Alan made in into an AWE? And what does it DO, exactly? Yeah, I know, amplifier, but it doesn't tell you why it's so important.
Nobody gave a shit about Alan Wake until this piece of shit came out and even now, the only thing they liked about it was the musical number so now they call themselves "fans" of the franchise purely because of the music number.
Exact same thing happened with the Yakuza series when two of the karaoke songs from Kiryu and Majima started becoming mainstream meme material. I don't like this.
>AW2 is hero's journey + quantum mechanics
did zane and darling create just this games events, or alan wake entirely?
Whether Alan created Zane or Zane created Alan is still up in the air.
I just know that the big reveal of Alan Wake 3 would be that the mastermind behind everything is Sam Lake. He's an established character in the verse after all.
