Well if that ain't some of the shittiest character animation I've seen this generation.
Oh and can we install the strikethrough text mod. I was going to make my post more humourous by striking through the "this generation" and putting "last generation" next to it for much LULS.

GET!
First impressions:
Just finished the first 'episode'.
Way better than the lame-arse Alone in the dark remake from a couple of years back. Not yet in Silent Hill 2 territory, I predict it will land somewhere in between.
Atmos is great, controls are solid, story seems well written. Have had one or two good little scares so far my only complaint would be that it is a little easy? Plenty of ammo around an whatnot means you aren't shitting yourself about missing shots, I dunno, seems western game-makers can't help but give you a gun, I know if the Japs had made this you would started with a stick with a nail in and you would have the smallest health bar ever, now thats survival horror. Anyway a relatively small complaint I guess.
Game came with a code for DLC released in July, not a bad way of keeping you from trading it in quick considering the story continues after the game finished apparently.
Digging the music too.

Difficulty is ramping up a bit now ( I am playing on Hard) but still not really very taxing, perhaps Nightmare is the way to play it.
Digging the combat, quite good with the controls now and there have been a couple more good scares.
I dunno, it feels like it is missing the mortal danger of other survival horror games, there is no real gore during combat so you don't really get a sense of being injured and stuff.
Anyway story is very good and I am having a good time with this one. My fave of 2010 so far.

After much buggering around and threatening to take my business elsewhere, I got EB Games to price match JB Hi-Fi for the Alan Wake Collector's Edition. $99 = not bad at all. Really well made CE. The game case itself looks like a big, thick book by Alan Wake, and it includes the Soundtrack + Bonus Disc + Book. The book looks good, proper hardcover book with a dust jacket etc. I haven't had a chance to read through it yet though My plan is to watch the live-action online prequel, then read the book, then start the game
Currently playing: Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition (PC), Far Cry 4 (PC), FIFA 23 (Series X)

Oh man I was just given an awesome gaming memory for all time. You will dig it when you come to it, in episode 4, completely rad. The hide doesn't really spoil anything but I wanted to be safe.
Anyway, the music continues to be awesome, even Sabbath-esque in that particular stage above, I am all over the gameplay, the story is pretty cool. Loving it, possibly my single-player for 2010.
Yo, Ambrose, tell me when you get to this tune, I bet you lose it too!

Yeah mate it is. Obviously SH2 is the pinnacle of survival/horror but this is a VERY solid attempt.
It misses the gore, as I mentioned earlier, and some of the more disgusting things that happen in a Silent Hill game that can really get you, the atmosphere lacks a bit because the score, apart from the cool rock tunes like above, is not scary enough (remember the HORRIBLE percussion in the Silent Hill games?). No real puzzles either which would have been nice. And yeah, too much ammo, gimme a pipe or something so I have to get all bloody man!
But the combat is largely flawless once you get used to it, the dodge can be a pain SOMEtimes, the story is solid and the action set-pieces, like the one I talked about in my last post, can be fantastic. I am holding on to this one to see where they go with the DLC.
If you dig survival/horror (and lets face it theres not many of us out there) then this is a welcome addition to the genre, certainly from the West anyway, that last Silent Hill the Yanks did wasn't real flash.

Just to jog the memory of the awesomeness.
Watching some other Silent Hill clips I think they just aren't making the best use of the torch in the game. The way you can olny see what is directly in front of you in SH plus those horrible hallways you are always walking down which are only wide enough for one? Genius.
Anyways its not really fair.
Alan Wake is a great game.
