I honestly thought it was just an asset flip that turned out to be kind of funny and so was tolerated I didn’t realize that it was made by the same people that made Satisfactory.
It’s all you said, but it’s also a product of it’s time. Iirc when it release there was an increasing amount of simulator games, and goat simulator pokes fun to all of those while having tons of silly references to the contemporary things.
The successors don’t have much of s point to me tbh.
I also had a bonus screenshot of Cauldron Lake lined up to share, but for whatever reason while retyping the post from when i accidentally posted it in the wrong community, it butchered the formatting (That’s also the reason the writing is kind of stilted). Here’s the bonus screenshot of the water
I never played Alan Wake through to the end until recently when I got the second one.
Then I played through the first one, followed by Control including the DLCs and then Alan Wake 2. I can’t recommend this enough, it’s an incredible ride.
Yep, they also made me want to rewatch X-Files and Twin Peaks, two obvious inspirations (plus Stephen King particularly The Dark Tower, another kind of house that is the linchpin of universes).
I can also recommend The Lost Room mystery series from 2006. It’s use of magical, but mundane objects and a timeless hotel room also seems to have been a direct inspiration.
Damn, I knew about X-Files and Twin Peaks, but I had no idea about the others. It’s honestly a rabbit hole I’d love to go down if I ever get the time. Adulting sucks :(
Right?! I can’t run it at the moment so I’ll need to upgrade first, but damn literally every frame I’ve see of Alan Wake 2 is just peak Remedy goodness. The not being able to run it part actually kinda works out for me though because I wanna buy it once it hits Steam (although they seem to be taking their sweet ass time, it’s like they hate money or something).
Remedy’s one of the last handfull of studios still making actually good AAA games that aren’t compromised for monetization’s sake, or to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
I'm just downloading it to my Steam Deck as I bought advanced access to the game. I'll let folks know how it goes.
And before anyone jumps on my neck about buying advanced access:
I waited until review scores came out
Even then I was originally planning to wait a few weeks until launch but with Steam refunds, I figured I can play for half an hour to get a good feel of the game
Not only is this Konami's first good game in ages, I dare say this is also the industry's first good game in ages. RE4 was excellent, but the OG was great and Capcom at that point knew how to do well. I cannot say the same for Konami/Bloober.
I'm someone who is lucky enough to have enough disposable income where a purchase like this doesn't really negatively affect me financially.
Nevermind, I did a quick check on YouTube and the game runs absolutely terribly on the Steam Deck... so much for me supporting Konami, got that refund request in order.
How does this not belong in this sub? It’s not like it’s explicitly SFW, and OP is doing as they said in the title. These are screenshots from a game, clearly the game has mechanics that are being demoed here.
How does screenshots from a game have no place in c/ games? I’ve just checked the rules and yes it could have an NSFW tag even though no nudity is shown but that is a far cry from “has no place”
Lastly, wtf do anime pics have to do with this? This is game footage.
I’ve just checked the rules and yes it could have an NSFW tag even though no nudity is shown but that is a far cry from “has no place”
Screenshots of a game have a place in this community when they are used to actually discussing the game. Which is the point a lot of these “daily screenshot” posts are missing. There is no discussion here because OP didn’t bother discussing anything, it’s just a random collection of pics. Unless you count “showing that the game has a player-controlled camera” as “demoing game mechanics”.
I would 100% consider this a low-effort post, which is against the rules of c/games.
