When does it get good good?

It doesn't. It's an alright game but kind of middling, 6/10 at best.

You're funny, OP

Immediately

>>724770641 (OP)
Gameplaywise, you unlock the coolest stuff by the time you can't possibly care about the game anymore, so too little too late. Storywise? Never, the main story is really lame shit. You want this supernatural agency to be in the spotlight but it's never about that. The premise is absolutely wasted on this game. Fuck Remedy, Max Payne 1 really is the only good game they made.

Right away, can you not appreciate brutalism? Magical realism, cool destruction, flying around throwing vending machines at enemies, my bro Ahti, good sound design, etc.

>>724770641 (OP)
The gameplay and story is mid but the real kino is the SCP style artifacts to learn about. I didnt hate the game. It was a solid 7 or 8 for me.

I've noticed that games are unironically too low brow to notice art direction, something even simpsons fans and wrestling fans are in tune with.

It was always good. You simply might not be a gamer, or ever even playing it.

>>724770641 (OP)
This is the only game to ever give me motion sickness. Dogshit aesthetics too. I’m glad Remedy is going under

It's really good but the moment I found out my girl Jesse was based on a real ho
https://youtu.be/RxyzAqR_p0s?t=93
i lost respect. Courtney is kind of bogged too. Just takes away the magic of Jesse dont you think. Before she was a cute girl with autistic tendencies and interests and now she is sex and the city bogged. Real life sucks.

Control bros how do I stretch out this game as long as possible? I just finished the ashtray maze. Just wait on bureau alerts and stuff? I dont know how far I am in the game

Brutalism is cancer. Everybody who pretends to appreciate it is a gullible retarded fag.

I liked it. Definitely not a favorite though

>>724777178
Based HL1 aesthetics.

The interactions with Emily were pretty entertaining, it's extremely rare that I pay attention to the writting in a modern western game,it helps when they are cute as fuck

>>724770641 (OP)
doesn't really get that good, there is the fun music segment, but it's like 5 minutes in the whole game
it lacks too much of everything and it felt like a tech demo when I played it, the gameplay is especially poor somehow
the protag is especially turbo boring and I just hate all those close up plans, it turns her into a giga autist

>>724770641 (OP)
from the start
but it really kicks off once you are forced to create a coherent build for the Juke Box.
The rocket gun becomes very good once you are setup correctly.

>>724777586
>it turns her into a giga autist
but that's what's good about her.If you took one look at her you would say she is the woke game archetype but she is quite the opposite even tho she's literally the big boss in that place

>>724777586
>it turns her into a giga autist
i.e. relatable to /v/

does it have micro bikini mods yet

>>724777490
Emily is cool. I keep thinking is this game woke and pozzed but I just really like the characters. I think Emilies exist out there.

Kinda sad to see Dylan is such a weirdo softiepants. He even talks about troon stuff "Isn't Dylan like a girls name too?" something like that wtf. And he says FUK often.

>>724777761
Interesting I found it to be the weakest gun

>>724777835
She is super cool until you learn she is modeled after Courtney Hope as described in comment above. Sour realisation.

On a side note, the scariest part of the game was meeting Marshall. God what a ugly shit. The entire game is filled with cool strong nordic characters and then you get this thing that looks like a burnt mars candybar with pubic hair

>>724778509
>Emily is cool. I keep thinking is this game woke and pozzed but I just really like the characters. I think Emilies exist out there.

the game itself was very mid but the story was fun, it was the last game before the studio fully ate the woke pill and pulled alen wake 2 out of its ass.

>>724777178
Looks like soulless communistic monstrosity. The point of brutalism is to oppress and demoralize, its the opposite of being appealing by design.

Feels like a tech demo, which is a shame because the supernatural aspect of the game is really interesting and corpo art-style kinda neat.
I couldn't give two shits about the protag and story in general. Funny finnish janny is cool tho.

>>724770641 (OP)
i played it a few hours and it doesn't like every post max payne remedy game

>>724777761
>The rocket gun
I remembered it as being some sort of crossbow sniper shot but this was probably it. Only that and the default revolver were ever worth using.

The mold tentacle monster keeps killing me what the fuck is the counterplay here

everything is alright, just go back to sleep citizen

>>724779973
>The point of brutalism is to oppress and demoralize
That is NOT the point of brutalism LMAO
Brutalism visually represents timeless, indestructable stability. The visual language of a concrete block.
That's what made it popular in the 50s , a time of uncertainty and instability.

>>724777178
This environment looks like it reeks from piss and hobos are building cardboard forts around every corner. Disgusting

Must be a total coinciding.

the point is that maybe before the event at Ordinary they were actually a single person before magical bullshit split them into two. or maybe it's a parallel universe thing, something that comes up a lot in remedy games after quantum break.

>>724778509
Yeah even the black lady boss is not bad,even Jessy keeps making a point not to be addressed as The Director,the game has flaws but leftie woke propaganda is not one of them

>>724780930
It didn't, it's their most successful game.

Agreed. It looks like shit, but it's kino as a setting to a game.

Do you wager the mass production of solid concrete architecture in the 50s might have something to do with repairing the WW2 devastation , buddy or did that seriously never cross your retard mind?

>>724781072
>kino as a setting to a game.
For a horror game, for sure. As long as they don't try to present it as "comfy" or beautiful and esthetic..

>>724780930
It didn't Alan Wake 2 was a massive flop and almost wiped out the company. Control money barely kept them afloat.

>>724770641 (OP)
anon.. the first hour is the best part of the game im afraid

>>724781265
We're using roman concrete for more the 2 thousand years, and Modern Portland cement for two hundred years.
At best it was the means of cheaply and quickly replacing buildings as shittily and cost effectively as possible, at worse it was a psychological tool to make the population feel insignificant.
Read a fucking book sometimes.

Like any artstyle it can be either aesthetic or trash, depending on the artist.

>>724780930
It's simply not really interesting unless you're a SCPfag that will tolerate everything for the sake of *some* SCP sprinkled here and there.

>>724770641 (OP)
you lack media literacy

>>724770641 (OP)
When you can fly around and hurl yourself downards into your enemies. I think it's like three quarters of the way down the left skill tree. Fucking rpg mechanics made this game worse.

>>724781529
>it was the means of cheaply and quickly replacing buildings as cost effectively as possible
Glad we agree. I accept your apology.

>>724781710
We do... It was basically the "made in china" version of a building.

>>724781860
Which bugman product is still in use and fully functionable, 7 decades+ later?

>>724780930
because it didn't deliver on any of those things. it only teases them as a concept.

>>724782258
>fully functionable
Except when it kills somebody.

Funny how the "brutalism enjoyer" is a brown man on the pic you posted. Explains a lot.

>>724782469
Concession accepted.

>>724778509
>I found it to be the weakest gun
when you combine the Charge Gun with ammo efficiency and personal mods that reload your weapon when you evade, you effectively have infinite ammo. You could also fire the rockets, and grab them from the air. some enemies would try to dodge, so you could trick them. Fire at them, grab the rockets, and slam them into the back of their head.

>>724780123
>crossbow sniper shot
>Only that and the default revolver were ever worth using.

The Pierce and Grip were good, but there were challenges that required killing a lot of enemies fast while popping in and out of cover. big damage over a big area, and easily reloaded through dodging (once you had the personal mods) made it very effective.

>>724783881
What with the offbrand-Dark Souls setup of the Metroidvania gameplay, it'd been cool if there was a Covenant system. You could join in with and grind reputation with either the Board or Former. In a sequel they could have this with the other factions, all those outsider fuckos messing around with OoPs: Church of somethingsomething or the crew trying to manufacture Altered Items. The Motel seemed to have a will/intent of its own, include that too.

At the very end, Alan Wake 2 is superior Remedy game.

Correct me if im wrong, but the 50s is straight in the middle of this timespan... :S

>>724785092
Not even remotely. It's awful with extraordinary fleeting aspects. Alan Wake 2's their second worst game after Crossfire X and it's a close race. (If those fuckers put CFX' bullet time into the Max Payne remake, it'll be dead on arrival.) There's barely any game in it, it rarely has natural investment and there's plenty to push you away with boredom or having a dismal time.

This is coming from a person, who thinks Alan Wake 1's gameplay makes that game engaging on its own after plausible Stockholm Syndrome.

>>724770641 (OP)
game was primarily made with pc in mind so its above any console slop by default and can't be bad

>>724787895
In my understanding, "rise" means "beginning".

>>724770641 (OP)
It starts good, it gets bad when the game forces you to grind the repetitive “kill x number of enemies in area y” to keep up.

Didn't this bait thread show up before? I want to say a few weeks ago.

Someone said, "Good or bad is subjective. If you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. It just means you don't like something." Then I remember someone saying "Faggot" and there wasn't much more after that since everyone seemed to agree it was a bait thread.
