The game looks gorgeous. It has to be one of the prettiest games I’ve ever played.

I agree with what you said about the Mind Places especially. You can tell Remedy put so much love and care into it

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Thank You! I wish you luck on Black Ops 6.

I’m kind of surprised Remedy doesn’t have a community too. Ik they usually space things out so they don’t have many releases but they really fill their games to the brim with discussion material that the community rarely runs out of stuff to talk about I feel like.

That one scared me every time, even though i knew it was coming. With the final draft i had my hands on the pause button just to try and capture a screenshot of it. It was really clever, especially with how they keep the Mind Place setup as the safe spot in the game up until that second

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

It’s still the second one. I’m replaying it because of some stuff they added for post game after an update

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Hmmm. Deja-vu indeed thank you. I’m very proud for coming up with that. I was honestly a bit worried people would miss it

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I’m very appreciative of my free time I have right now. Especially knowing that there will be a day when I won’t have it anymore

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I had this big stupid grin on my face the entire time and I was giggling. Remedy really did an awesome job at calling back to the first one

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Normally I would but the DLC isn’t really in my budget right now. When it is I totally want to go check out the DLCs because I’ve seen a few people praise the new Lake House DLC and I want to play it now

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Highly recommend it. It might be personal bias but It’s easily made its way into my Top 3 Games of all time.

It sucks because i’d love to get my hands on the Alan Wake remaster and Alan Wake II on steam if they put it on there, if only so i can have easier integration with Steam’s QOL features. Maybe one day Remedy will pull what they did with the OG Alan Wake when they bought the publishing rights from Microsoft and buy the Publishing rights to Alan Wake II from Epic

Every single one I see. Idk if anything will come out of petting them all but at this point it’s more habit than anything

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Ooh. No I have not. I’ll have to check tomorrow because now I’m interested in how many I’ve missed so far

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I would say it is worth playing the first one because it builds off of the ending and a lot of the plot exposition in it. I do think 2 does a decent job of explaining things quickly to newcomers, but if you have the time I’d say playing the first one is a good idea to get the full picture

I always listen to the music. With the way remedy is it plays such a vital part in it that i would be caught dead before skipping them. It may be nostalgia bias for the first one but particularly Poet of The Fall’s Heroes and Villains was my favorite, RAKEL’s Follow You Into The Dark knocked it out of the park too.

spoilerThen there was this stage at the end, which was playing a remix of Departure from the first game which i would by lying if i said it didn’t make me sad and nostalgic https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/28ddf0f5-4328-4b0d-bbca-32d7df97aae2.png

Then there was a segment in the game that used the same music from the first episode of Alan Wake I, and that to me felt really clever because of the parallels too it. Overall i feel like remedy knocked it out of the park in all departments, and the music especially was no exception.

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Definitely. The way Remedy executes the stage moments doesn’t feel too out of place either. I feel like it would be hard to execute that in a horror game in a way that doesn’t take you out of the moment, yet remedy keeps doing it over and over again

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I loved control, it had so many unique ideas. i only got halfway through though before having to delete it to make space though sadly. With my playthrough of Alan Wake II i think i want to dedicate myself to going back and finishing it soon though

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Thank you! I try to avoid spoilers in mine. I usually use Lemmy’s built in spoiler feature when it’s though inevitable or i really want to share it, but i just recently found out that not every client does spoilers the same way so i think i’ll have to think up some other idea

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

That was part of the same issue i had as well, i kept having to put it on hold for a tough boss. I hope your able to see it through to the end this time!

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

That’s what I ended up doing for my Alan Wake II post last night because there was just a lot to talk about with the ending. I figured in clients that don’t support Lemmy’s built in spoiler system though the ::: at the end will tell them where the spoilers end

Loving it. I played a little bit on launch but put it on the shelf due to the performance (hoping updates would help) and I felt a little iffy on it due to how Alan was portrayed and the far more survival horror like gameplay. But since picking it up again it’s grown on me. I think if put against the First One/American Nightmare I don’t think I could pick a favorite. I love both for different reasons

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

it’s something i’ve considered happening lol. i think there’s been a few times i thought i posted something only to remember that i didn’t actually and had to go do it before the end of the day

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

up until recently Alan Wake was the only Remedy game i played. I picked up control and loved it and then recently played through Max Payne. I think it’s evolved from Alan Wake being my favorite game too Remedy being my favorite game studio. It makes me excited seeing how all these things connect together.

This was something i noticed too. I probably won’t be using the app much because i already have all their music i want in my iTunes cloud library but the selection is odd and the choice too release the music selectively feels strange too me. I feel like they’d get more profit if they had most of their stuff on their from the get go

This will be helpful for discerning if a game can run on the Steam Deck. There’s not many games that don’t have verification (Either by Valve or ProtonDB) but for newer games with anticheat it will serve as a good rule of thumb i imagine

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

idk if it’s considered obscure but I’d love to see the OG Viva Pinata get a remake (Or remaster atleast)

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I ended up installing the FSR 3 mod for it, which helped performance a bit. The Steam Deck is my only gaming device though so i sadly can’t use moonlight

i need to get back into Cyberpunk. I started but had to uninstall it for space.

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I plan on picking up the DLCs at some point. Probably not until early next year though due to my financial situation

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

It depends on life. Right now I’m going through some of Remedy’s games (mostly to get to Alan Wake II). Most of my picks though come from if they fit into my schedule, so if they let me save wherever or pretty periodically they’ll probably be what I go to next.

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

That 4th wall break caught me by surprise, but it was fun. I’m really hoping the second one does that again, or at least has a reference too it

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

The Bullet Time is so satisfying. And I love Max as a character. I’m a sucker for Everyman characters (part of the reason Alan Wake is one of my favorites too). I would have killed to get to experience this game as a kid. It’s so much fun I’m disappointed that I never played it sooner lol

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

After I finish Alan Wake II, I’m considering going to Max Payne 2 (though I have a lot of games I keep piling onto the list of what I want to play. So who knows. The Steam Sale coming up certainly won’t help). If it’s anything like this one I know I’m going to have a good time though. Remedy is masters of their trade it feels like

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Judging by how MP3 is excluded from the Max Payne collection on Steam (there’s a separate bundle with 1-3), it does seem to be the underrated sibling. I sadly only bought 1 & 2 in a bundle when I bought it years ago. But with how much I’m enjoying Max Payne 1, I’m definitely planning to get 3 at some point down the line

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Remedy is great at making memorable and recognizable experiences like that I feel like. All their games have stuck around for me to some degree

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

I feel ya. I tried one piece but only got like 12 episodes in. It’s so hard to find the time nowadays to get into new things

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

Fuck yeah, love classic sonic so much. Sonic 2 especially

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 miesięcy temu

No man’s sky does an amazing job of looking pretty like this. I think i’d actively have to try to make a screenshot of the game look bad
