Well it just seemed like it was overshadowed completely by RDR. I know my friends list is not scientific, but for two weeks after release EVERYONE was playing RDR and only one person here and there was playing Alan Wake. I guess people bought both, just didn't get around to playing Alan Wake yet.

It'll be interesting to see the June numbers with those deals out there for Blur this month. I think it's going to get quite a boost. Unfortunately Activision will only be seeing like $10 for each copy.

I think I was more forgiving of it because of the new scenery, but there is no reason for supposed AAA title to still have the shittiest controls I have ever seen. The aiming is only tolerable due to the auto-aim, the guy still controls like a fucking tank, and we accept this why? Because of some MEDIOCRE voice acting? Yes people, it's fucking mediocre voice acting. I'm sorry that videogames have had such shitty voice acting that this is considered superb, but it isn't.
The "travel" portion of every mission is unbearable, and they should have done away with it.
Yes the world is beautiful, but I will NOT make the mistake of paying full price for a Rockstar game again. I bought it at release due to multiplayer, and they do not know how to implement multiplayer properly.
Probably should put this in the other thread.

I don't agree with his comment about the voice acting but I agree with the comment about the controls for the game. Not only that but for a high profile game, the glitches on this game were annoying and I'm not even done half of the game yet.

I thought about putting a poll about what game play next, RDR or Just Cause 2, but thought that everyone would vote for RDR, but after the previous posts...
