I would say at this point it’s much better. the recent updates have helped to mitigate the issue of planets looking the same a ton. For the gameplay loop, At least for me, is very similar too launch (Go to new planet, do your preferred task to earn money. For me i use my freighter and my crew too collect goods and trade them in different systems and i also Archive animals and flora. And then I move to another system).
But they have also added more to do in that cycle too. For example, I typically break up the gameplay loop by returning to my base i built and tending to the NPCs that live there and also to use the facilities i constructed. I also manage a fleet from my freighter to send them on missions. On top of that there is the Anomaly which now has a ton of community things to do. There’s also different factions to join and get your rank up with.
It’s definitely improved a ton, i would say with it’s nature though it may not be for everyone
This is the first i’m hearing about Elite Dangerous and i’m just now discovering another game to feed my inner space nerd. I’ll have to pick it up with the upcoming steam sale
It feels like only a few weeks ago that i started posting screenshots. It’s hard to believe i’ve played through two large games in such a short amount of time. 100 days really feels longer than it actually is sometimes
I just started their new Cursed expedition today after trying to get around to it. After not playing for a few months it already feels like i have so much new stuff to do. I really appreciate that they didn’t give up on it.
Alan Wake i feel like is a game franchise that only comes around rarely. Each entry is usually amazing and filled to the brim with so much care and details. I definitely enjoyed the quick time i spent with The Evil Within though, its a lot of fun and does an awesome job of keeping you in suspense, especially with how it encourages stealth i feel like
Thanks! I was working on cleaning up achievements for Alan Wake 1 al say, so Alan Wake 2 will have to wait for a little bit longer, but i’m excited to pick it up again!
Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get to 2. Pre sequel I only play with my friend and it takes backseat a lot. Maybe after my Alan Wake 1-2 play through I’ll buckle down and play through Pre-Sequel with him
The world definitely shows its age with its game. Not that it’s a bad thing. Just kind of an observation.
A similar thing I noticed was the video files. I noticed they were blurry and blocky and then it occurred to me that the reason why was disc space limitations. That’s another thing that would rocket up the File Size.
I hope you enjoy your play through of AW. It’s one of my favorite games of all time!
In total time I don’t think I can get a solid answer because this isn’t my first play through on PC so the time is a bit muddled but if I had to guess maybe about 20 Hours considering Nightmare mode and going out of my way to get all the collectibles?
The DLCs are included in the PC and remaster too I think, so they are only DLC for the Xbox version which is why you may not have heard of them. They’re called Specials in the Game
Oh hey. I played through this last year. It was a lot of fun. I need to go back through and get all the achievements though. And play through the dark revival too
