ITT: Kino that went right over /v/'s bald heads

>>717103667 (OP)
it's not. it just isn't.

>game called Alan Wake
>you are not playing as Alan Wake half the time but a black woman who was white previously

>>717103667 (OP)
Chuds hate it because it has a black women MC. If it was a white woman /v/ would like it

>>717103758
>dogshit
When did this zoomer word get so popular? When piratesoftware started using it?

>>717103839
It'd be one thing if it had nothing to do with the story but her being black is the reason Mr. Door is there so I'm okay with it

>>717103667 (OP)
blame epic's exclusivity, if it were on steam everyone would be saying it's good

>>717104324
This is true. But for Remedy they got the entire game funded and paid for and are now using those assets to produce Control 2 and Max Payne Remakes without Epic being involved. It kinda fucked their sales on AW2 but I think it expedited their development process on their next couple games. You can tell how many assets in AW2 were there just for later use, like the flamingos, hospital stuff, all the new York stuff. It's no coincendence their next 2 games take place in New York

>>717103667 (OP)
Great arguments here /v/, really change my mind

>>717103667 (OP)
It was legitimately one of the worst "games" I've ever played and I didn't even hate all of the woke dogshit.

>>717103801
>alan is haunted about his white privilege
Hope the esg bux was worth it for them.

>>717105406
Gameplay is really good I will never deny this, and nobody claims it's a problem
But that story is irredeemably bad and possibly one of the worst written video games of all time, no exaggeration.

>>717103839
black women are not very likable

To be quite honest, I don't really give a shit about what /v/ thinks about games considering the trash taste the vast majority of zoomer retards that inhabit this place have now. The same kind of people that call Alan Wake trash are the same kind of people who eat up the next generic chinese soulslop or the newest gacha shit, or the newest underage anime pantyquest rpg slop.

>>717105608
i think it is the opposite. The cynical story is really good. I like everything bleak and depressing

>>717105608
It's fine, you guys will hate on everything.

>>717105838
TLOU1 was depressing but well written
2 is so laughable it can only be compared to something like The Room. The amount of cliches (the pregnancy gimmick being used 4 or 5 times for a story device) or the woke stuff injected into a post apocalypse where it wouldn't have any place. Not to mention the infected taking a complete backseat for a nonsensical women-logic driven mess of a goose chase. And to top it all off, it's non linear sloppy timeline with flashbacks within flashbacks. The dude tried to copy Tarantino and failed so miserably, it was pathetic. But I view it as a comedy at this point so it makes it easier to stomach while I enjoy the admittedly great gameplay.

Nigger dogshit has been around for forever.

>>717103667 (OP)
I absolutely loved the game after giving it a second chance. Its release and Baldurs Gate 3 made me realize that /v/ has completely been infested by politicoids spewing their shitty agenda everywhere. You just couldn't talk about the game without some vermin and his discord friends coming there and reminding me about their hyperfixation on a black character. Can't wait for Control 2.

7/10 game, the Hotel level was 10/10

>>717107414
Sam addressed the race swap and said it was for story reasons >>717104225
I won't deny the game could've been better keeping it a norse white woman and he mightve been coerced into changing it BUT it was still handled better than your usual blackwash

>>717107345
I remember people calling each other dogshit in Dota 2, 15 years ago.

>>717103981
in this particular case it adds flavor do this negroni filled dumpster trash turdslop by referring it to dogshit

>>717103667 (OP)
>alan's parts are the best
>but they are also the shortest and have no real puzzles or unique enemies
>saga is lame and barely characterized other than being a family person, has all the puzzles, boss fights, gametime and screentime, randomly related to old white rockstars then proceed to do nothing with it other than DOORMAN WHO CAN OPEN DOOR, so saga can just enter and exit the dark place willy nilly
i didn't play the DLC because i stopped caring

>>717107646
>>717107662
That's dogshit chat

>>717103667 (OP)
I wish I liked it that much. Loved the first game since the original release, begged for a sequel for a decade, loved Control, was sure it would be amazing, hated the sequel with all my might, absolute shit game.
And then when you try to discuss it you only find zoomer marvel fans talking about how the original was shit anyway frfr on god just watch on youtube and start with Control bro

>>717107810
you're dogwater

>>717107752
Some of the DLC content is insultingly bad. Some of it is just bland. You're honestly not missing anything and I think they made a mistake implementing them into the main game, even if it's optional. Most people won't choose to skip them and they make the game worse and spoil later locations for some of the lowest quality gameplay in the entire package.

I'm replaying Control now, it's actually what made me make this thread.
I have high hopes for the gunplay in the sequel and Max Payne remakes

>>717105608
The controls are excellent, the levels are too big. There are too many encounters that you can clearly see the spawn points because enemies just pop into it, especially infected, and you use like 20% of the available area to fight and then waste a ton of time scavanging the empty massive arena for resources you don't even need because the game shits out bullets willy nilly for you even on Survivor.
When you're shooting people it feels great but The Last of Us was never mainly about shooting people. Uncharted 2 still has much better action game encounters.
Much like Alan Wake II, though, you can't really discuss the game's shortcomings because the controversial crap acts as a smokescreen and people get to disregard anything you say by calling you buzzwords.

>>717107752
>>717107967
I liked the Lake House and the waitress dlc. The other 2 sucked, especially the one where you play as Jesse. The Quantum Break callback one was kind of cool but way too short

>>717107578
"There is an asspull reason that we had to make up after we openly bragged about working with, and following the advice of sweet baby inc" is not an actual reason.
I don't want to spend time on a game where I'm forced to play as a filthy negress. Extra insulting that she'd have a nordic name and that she'd be the child of fucking Thor, making him a niggerfucker too. And then she whines about wypipo in the game.
Love AW so much, I even have the Collector's Edition. American Nightmare was weird, but even that had its charm.
Not playing this shit.

>>717105608
gameplay? are you retarded? it's a slow walk inventory management simulator where you rotate consumables/throwables, then the other half of the game is listening to a negroni blackoid in her mind palace and doing candy crush tier shit.

>>717108202
I'm a little split on the Max Payne remakes, I'm sure they'll be great, but one thing I love about every Max Payne game, even the redhead stepchild that 3 was, is that they're the only TPS games that I vastly prefer on mouse and keyboard, and Remedy has a tendency to use the default control system they design the game for super well, like Alan Wake 1 with the trigger intensity controlling the flashlight mode and letting you aim without boosting or boosting and dodge and running being the same button press to emphasize that running is for scrambling and not just moving fast.
So I'm convinced they'll completely revamp the controls to be more pad focused, and because it's remedy I'm sure they'll be great, but I liked how Max Payne played already, II still feels like a modern game, so I wish it was still a mouse first game.
Hoping it won't be by the Alan Wake II director, however, Kasurinen is a much better game designer than Rowley, judging by their previous track record. Quantum Break's lead designer directing Alan Wake II makes a lot of sense, the two worse games in the company's history.

>>717108482
>And then she whines about wypipo in the game.
She doesn't, that's the antagonist trying to get her to pull the race card but her rational side wins out
Alan's wife does the same shit to him at the end of the first game
Nobody is forcing you to play or talk about it

>>717108346
The Quantum Break callback was cool but it would be cooler if it was the only DLC. I was all MCU'd out at that point. I did not need any more dumb meta jokes and self references. Remedy Universe was a mistake.

SHOW ME THE CAMPION OF LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

>>717108627
>retard jumps to spew his opinion but can't even follow the topic
Was talking about Tlou2 retard follow the chain

The Foundation DLC for Control, The Signal and The Writer are Remedy's best DLCs by quite a lot, everything else wasn't nearly on the same level as these. Especially Foundation and Writer are excellent.

>>717108636
Control plays very similar to Max Payne 1 and 2 before you get the powers. I play on kbm too, really hope they don't f up those controls but considering 1 and 2 were pc based before they started focusing on consoles I have to hope they'd respect that

>>717108884
>simping tlou2
my first impression of u was already bad but now ur a totally lost cause to me. holy fuck. the embryoidery itt lmao@

>>717109110
Cool zoomer go try to fit in somewhere else, nobody cares

>>717109063
I guess I can see that, I play Control on pad but the aiming down sights only matters if you have mods for your weapons that increase damage while aiming, otherwise it's hip fire all the way and that is definitely reminiscent of Max Payne. The ADS added precisely because of console play is irrelevant, so Max Payne remake could be the same again.
Did they ever announce who will be doing the voice?

>>717109110
>calls it the worst written video game of all time
>"bro ur simping for tlou2"
What is with younger generations having every single aspect of their lives being a side you have to take. Everything from politics to 7/10 video games. You either have to despise or "simp" for it. Grow up

>>717109202
whatever u say redditor cuckmann shill lmao u'll never get bent like abbie keep dreaming he wont notice u

>>717109354
Nope but I saw they added this art to their offices last year so it seems like they are going with the Timothy Gibbs model for Max. He sounds similar to him too so it wouldn't be a bad move using his voice too

>>717109521
That would be excellent, I'm completely on board.

>>717108773
What are you referring to? I can't recall. I remember that in first DLC she (well, it's not really her) tells him something like "everyone has to keep up with your bullshit" (I forgot her exact words).
Obviously nobody is forcing me to do anything, I'm just explaining that this negro cunt ruined any chance of me playing the game because I know why she exists and I don't want to look at negroes any more than I have to. You have to be really gullible to believe his retcon explanation. There's no good way to handle replacing a human with a fucking baboon in a way that's clearly meant to make a statement.

>>717109690
It's not about believing an explanation. I don't need a political reason to justify liking or not liking it. I played and enjoyed it and her being black didn't impede on the story like i thought it would. Her father being Mr. Door from Quantum Break is enough of an explanation to where I'm satisfied considering his character was one of the most entertaining parts of the game.
And people like you have a misconception of the black wash meaning the whole game is woke
In the first hour she accuses a black couple of stealing and lying to cover it up with no evidence but her "intuition"
And that white male line is literally the bad guy trying to trick her into pulling the race card but she won't do it.
The line in 1 was his wife talking about his "white male problems", I think in the first dlc
Sam Lake is one of the few writers left who's self aware enough to not water down his writing with woke shit

>>717110121
Oh, I legitimately did not remember that "white man problems" line at all. Thanks for that.
And if you enjoyed it, I unironically am happy for you, why would I WANT other people to be as disappointed as me? I really wanted a sequel quite a lot.
I am just unable to see it in a vacuum. I know it was a product of its time, I know the political landscape infected/influenced it, I know changing the white woman detective to a leading Mary Sue pavement ape was a social "justice" statement. I don't want to support it, that's all.

>>717111206
Understandable

>>717103667 (OP)
In retrospective, I only enjoyed it because I cared about the plot. I think I enjoyed the puzzles, but there is too much walking, and I say this as someone who loved Death Stranding.
