It's a love letter to the campy horrors that are Twilight Zone and Twin Peaks

Don't bother talking about this game here. I finished it a few weeks ago and made like 9999999 threads every single day, v prefers to talk about tlou2 over and over rather than this gem.

For me it's best game ever, I still listen to its songs 24/7, poet and the muse is so fucking good, FIND THE LADY OF THE LIGHT STILL RAVING IN THE NIGHT.

I really loved it, completely a 10/10 for me, a shame Control wants to exploit it and instead of leaving American nightmare as the happy or open ending it choose to outright state Alan is still trapped, which bothers me a lot.

Also, fuck Alice, fucking bitch, she moves on and is probably banging a Nigger by now. She never did anything for Alan, meanwhile Alan literally sacrificed himself to save her, and he wouldn't have had to do that if the butch hadnt planned the vacations to that shitty town so he could send him to the mental asylum.

Amazing game, though combat gets a little samey and drawn out by the end.
Also, what amazing twist that nothing actually happens to your fat friend even though every player expects him to die

I replay it every 2 years or so. DLCs are a slug tho.
My favourite part is when you end up at the mental clinic, its such a kinda comfy/creepy atmosphere. Love it.

great atmosphere, decent lore, just very repetitive and mundane gameplay. shame remedy is still tuck in that rut.

I'm so disappointed by how much foreshadowing there was that he would turn on us, yet he never did, a bro to the fucking end without a single flaw and he even hugs us, baka.

I've had this game for years after getting it on a sale and never played it. Should i?

6.5/10
gameplay gets real boring

you should but don't expect anything amazing
it's all pretty cheesy and the combat is not exactly great
it's kinda sluggish controls wise
otherwise a fun game with cool theme and a weird setting

Honestly one of my favorite games ever made, It is repetitive and I find it hard to replay but if anyone here hasn't played it a t least once you absolutely should. Still waiting on a proper sequel, we're closer than ever before with that control DLC but I'm hesitant it could hold up to the original if we ever get one.

It was fun when I played it first back then on the 360, but tried it again on pc like last year and controls are shit because designed to play with a controller so I didn't even bother

7/10
comfy game

Good game, fun to play during the fall months for added atmosphere.

Never played it, should I? How bad did it age?

loved it.

I finished it a couple of weeks ago but couldn't force myself through the DLC. The story is great but the gameplay does get repetitive and it annoys me that I can't start off playing on the hardest difficulty.

The story was pretty cool, but I enjoyed it's somewhat unique take on third person shooting
Reminds me of my love for Dead Space in some ways

Game hasn't really 'aged', it controls completely fine
I'd recommend giving it a playthrough, even if you don't go out of your way to find all the collectable notes

I want to see AWE

Fun fact:
My uncle is Alan's VA

it's COMFY

jokes on you I played the dubbed version in my language, fuck your uncle.

Can you give him a blow job and record what he says?

Bonus points if when he cums he says: it's not a lake, it's a ocean

I wouldn't go as far as best game ever, but it's definitely something special for me. The of small town setting, atmosphere, soundtrack and story all work amazingly well together. Listening to those scattered radios and watching the TVs were peak comfy.
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite games, gonna have to replay it soon.
>a shame Control wants to exploit it
I'm kind of afraid of what they're gonna do with it. As far as I know, American Nightmare isn't really canon, more like a spinoff.

I hated American nightmare because it was wasted potential for a shitty arcade game, but the beginning and ending are awesome and it wasn't a bad concept going from thriller horror novel to action comedy TV movie, and I liked how it ended, Alan deserves a happy ever after instead of a second game that never came.

The original ending was satisfying for me (DLC is decent too) because it was bittersweet and fits perfectly to the balance theme.
For me American Nightmare looked kind of cheap. Huge graphical downgrade and focusing too much on the shooter aspect, which doesn't fit that well. The little bits of story were okay and the ending again was pretty good.
But the ending of AN is kind of sad too - he writes himself a moment together with his wife, but he's still trapped and the moment itself wasn't probably "real".

I played it through it once on hard in one sitting. One of my favourite gaming experiences. Especially the stage part, which gave a younger me my love for metal

snoozefest

After playing it I read everything in Alan Wake's voice for a while. Now I'm just waiting for the AWE expansion for Control.

Played it a few weeks ago because it was on games pass. Had almost no idea what to expect. Absolutely loved it, and was pleasantly surprised how much it was inspired by and payed homage to Twin Peaks (my favorite tv series).

I hated the DlC for how they ruined the ending. The original game had a perfect open ending, it ends with Alice saying Alan wake up. So it could have all been a drean, she could have found him passed out near the lake after he saved her, he could still be trapped, open endings are awesome.

Instead they chose to shove a DlC with feminist Alice telling Alan off because he's a "rich white male" and some shitty "no, fuck open endings, im still trapped"

>best game ever
That’s extreme. It’s decent, but the writing is up it’s own ass and they don’t know the difference between an homage and plagiarism. I guess, even now I’m having a hard time separating it from it’s own hype, and all the shit that got cut. For the time it was pretty standard game. Gimmicky gameplay mediocre tropey story. But if you’re used to games of this era it probably would feel pretty interesting.
