Re: Alan Wake
I finished this last night. The wife and I played an episode a day together. It was alot of fun and we enjoyed it.
I figure I'll wait until they have a few more DLC episodes before I pick the game up for good.

Re: Alan Wake
Finally nabbed the final achievement I needed last night, for playing through The Signal without dying. It took about 5 attempts, but I didn't mind because I enjoy this game so much.
I also have great hopes for a sequel.

Re: Alan Wake
I played through episode one last night. Pretty good, but the controls (at least the camera) feels really loose. I'm sure I'll get more used to it.
I started it up after the first kid went to bed and the second was in the shower. She got out and was excited I was finally starting it and wanted to watch. During the ferry scene in the beginning she called it that Alice would die and then really didn't like the scenes with the house on the lake. Then it was time for sweet dreams
Obviously I played more after she went to bed and I really like that you can go and rewatch all the cinematics later, even if some of the story will be missing, I think it'll be enough.

Ok, protecting the stage in Level 4 was one of the coolest events for me in video game history. The music, the sound effects, the hectic nature of it all was completely awesome! I died around 6 times before finally getting past that part but at no point was I frustrated.

I admit it's cool, but it's also very similar to a section in L4D2.

Re: Alan Wake
So I just finished Ep3 and I figure I'm a little more than halfway through and now I'm looking towards the step after completion.
Would you all recommend playing again through Nightmare to get the missing manuscript pages and the "full story" or just go straight into The Signal?
Also, how difficult is Nightmare compared to Normal? I don't die a lot, but I don't find it particularly easy to get through any of the sections thanks to the controls, limited ammo, and limited field of vision.

The Nightmare manuscript pages are generally right on the path in front of you so you don't have to explore much in that mode -- thank you Remedy for not being bastards!

Re: Alan Wake
Thanks, Alan. I just took the morning off to play through Ep4 and holy shit was that awesome! Where's that Old Gods of Asgard in Rock Band petition again?

Re: Alan Wake
Ok, I finished EP 2 last night....I'm growing a bit frustrated by the game now. Not sure if I have it in me to finish it. Glad I got it for $10 at some point.
My main concern is I want to run at times, so I hold down LB, but if a TAKEN is chasing me, WAKE will duck and slow down. I got frustrated. I wonder if I have it in me to finish. I figure I logged about 2.5 hours into the game to finish the 1st 2 episodes.
