cobysev, do games w Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

Unfortunately, it’s not just an Epic Games exclusive, it’s actually published by Epic Games. Which means it probably won’t ever come to Steam.

The rest of the Alan Wake franchise (and the Control franchise, including the upcoming Control 2) are published by 505 Games or Remedy themselves, so those all get Steam releases.

I don’t think I’ve posted this here yet, but I’ve actually been compiling all these posts into a separate blog. As much time and effort as I’ve been putting into them, I’d hate for them to get wiped if this community goes down, or heaven forbid, I got booted by a mod, etc. So you can either follow my posts here in /c/games, or check them out on my blog. I upload them at the same time, so it doesn’t matter where you go to read them.

I have yet to beat it myself. The first time I played it, I eventually came across a boss fight that proved too tough, and the only way to level up Jesse was to go and fight random spawns around the building. I got tired of the grind and stopped playing it. But I’m hoping to actually play through to the end this time around. I plan to do all spawn events as they come this time, instead of skipping them to focus on moving the plot forward, so that I’ll be better prepared for that fight when it comes.

I’m actually very careful to avoid spoilers in my posts. Sure, I get pretty far into the meat of the gameplay before I end my post… but I do my best to avoid any big reveals that might ruin the game for interested players. And I’ve never revealed the ending to a game.

At best, I’ve posted my speculation for the direction a game’s plot might be headed, based on my incomplete gaming session. But I made it clear it was just a personal guess.

My intent is to get people invested in the story, so when I leave off, they’ll want to go check it out and see what happens next. Besides, some of the best screenshots are from the action in the middle of gameplay. I can’t play 15 mins of a game and expect to make a solid post about it; I need to have some sense of what the game is about, and that requires a bit more exploration into the plot.

Since you’re familiar with Control, you’ll probably notice I left out some pretty big details from nearly the start of the game. You gotta have some unknown plot elements, or else I’m just narrating the first hour of the game, and that’s not fun when you actually go to play it for the first time.

I’m glad you like my posts! My goal was to introduce people to a new game every day. I have way too many games in my Steam library and I’ve barely played a quarter of them, so this forces me to try something new every day and share it with others.

@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

I apparently have Conarium in my library already! I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, Call of Cthulhu is not really a Lovecraftian game. You could easily substitute any other creature and it would still play out the same. The only element of the old RPG game that really carried over is the sanity level. The tabletop game would have you roll for sanity checks every now and then and basically track your gain or loss of sanity, which could alter your character as the game progressed.

That, and the eldritch creatures, are about all these games share in common with each other, and both are very loosely based on the Lovecraft short story. So it’s about as far removed from an H.P. Lovecraft work as you can get.

Thanks! I originally planned for these posts to just be a screenshot or two, with maybe a little discussion on what’s going on in my latest games (See a few of my first posts). But one of my pet peeves with gaming communities is how everyone just assumes you know the game being discussed. They jump into fine details, or use acronyms or in-game lingo to talk about it, which alienates those who’ve never played the game. Sometimes I’m interested in a game being discussed, but I’ve never played it, so I can’t follow the discussion!

So I figured I’d make posts that introduce games to everyone. If you’ve played it before, it’s a nice refresher of the gameplay and gives you a space to gush about what you loved or hated about it. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a good intro to the game and its story and mechanics.

Also, my other hidden purpose is to force myself to play more games. I have a Steam library of over 3,500 games and I’ve only played 25% of my library (according to SteamDB). So this forces me to pick something new every day and give it a shot. I’m discovering a lot of fun games that I didn’t even know I had in my library! I got a lot of my games through random bundles, so I didn’t even choose a lot of them.

I’ll be honest, just going over training on how to properly cook and assemble a burger brought back PTSD from my teen years… 😭

@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

Congrats on hitting day ! I just made it to myself; I have a long ways to go.

Here’s to another 100! 🍻

I believe you’re right. I see on Steam that both exist, and the Duck Season game is VR only. I stand corrected.

That’s exactly how I feel. I love this game, but I hate survival games where you have to work just to stay alive, more or less avoid enemies. Suffice to say, I play this on the easiest mode, so I don’t have to think too hard about the survival aspect.

You’re welcome! I have too many games and I enjoy playing and discussing them with people, which is why I post here. I sometimes forget what is in my library, so posting about a new game every day helps me to work through some games I’ve forgotten about, or discover new ones I bought in a bundle and never got around to playing.

In my opinion, there are too many news articles here about games and not enough discussion just appreciating games, so I thought I could start some conversation with these posts.

I just went to wishlist this game and discovered it was already on my wishlist. Can’t wait for this game to release! I’ll definitely have to add it to my queue of random screenshot posts here.

Every post I make to this community always gets about 9 downvotes. I think a dedicated number of them are people who just don’t want to see this kind of content. Or maybe bots, considering how the number is almost the same every time I post.

But as long as the overall vote count stays in the positives, I’ll keep posting! I like discussing the various games I play and I figure this is a great way to open discussion in the community.

@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

this genre is a little saturated

I honestly haven’t played any other games like this; I didn’t realize this was a common genre. I caught Witch It! in beta several years ago and it’s the only game of its type I’ve seen.
