I finally managed to invade someone and it happened to be just outside the clinic at the start of my NG+ cycle. My HP was lowered so much, and I did so much damage to the dude while he did basically nothing to me.
I thought BB had the same level/upgrade stuff as the other games? I felt like I just stomped a level 1 character of a player who has never played before 🤣
What is this animation style called? It’s the same style as in World of Warcraft and Overwatch (both Blizzard games, so I’ve been thinking of it as “Blizzard style”).
I found the pacing of the first few chapters in the first Alan Wake sublime, in terms of storytelling. The gameplay frustrated me on the other hand, became quickly monotonous and tedious for me. So I only played like a third of the game, much as I liked the story and was curious to see where it went. Then Control I was left completely unmoved by. So I’ve been hesitating to take up the second Alan Wake, basically because I didn’t much like the first iteration, or Control, which I’ve heard is somehow connected. Maybe I’m missing out. Or maybe these games appeal only to a certain audience.
I thought the story of Control was just ok but the gameplay was awesome.
It didnt land on my Top 25 list BUT…that one level (people who played it know exactly which I mean) was easily one of the best sequences I’ve ever played. I have no idea how they made it feel like you were still in control (hehe) as everything around you went crazy.
Unfortunately that level is very late in the game otherwise I’d implore you to stick it out to see it. But since you quit so early because you weren’t having fun, you probably will continue to not have fun until that part.
