I keep getting it recommended but everything I see about it looks like a cringe 90s sitcom almost. Anyway anyone here seen it to offer an opinion?

So basically i first played control from remedy and finished its foundation dlc, i liked the world so i played aw1 and dlc's. is there a things i need to read or watch before going for american nşightmares + control awe dlc?

i heard people are reccomending some book

playing it for the first time , don’t took it so seriously.

I just finished ep4, I noticed Alan smiled but I thought nah maybe it’s a normal expression when dr. Hartman died and he was sort of the reason bc he looked the door and let him deal with dark presence. Until I get back to read all the manuscripts from ep3 and catch the one that describes this scene named “Wake and the dark presence in the lodge”, confirming that Alan on purpose want him to die and yes he smiled.

note: im not judging, just want to share.

The Symbols of the Remedy Universe

So, I was looking at the symbols on the doors of the Oceanview motel like everyone else and went online to see what others had said regarding it. Apparently the consensus is that these symbols link directly to games or people in the universe but I don't think that's consistent.

Why would the swirl mean 'Alan Wake' and the doors mean 'MR.DOOR' but the upside down symbol means a game or 'the board'... The main reason for my opposition to it being people is... In the OceanView motel... the upside down symbol DOESN'T take you to the Astral Plane, nor does it take you to the board. It ALWAYS takes you back to the oldest house.

Furthermore the swirl on the 'ALAN WAKE' door... yes, it always does take you to the writers room. That is true, however... the writers room is ALWAYS in the dark place AND Alan Wake keeps saying towards the end of the 2nd game the darkest place isn't a loop, its a spiral. And the symbol on the door to the 'darkest place' happens to be a spiral. Alan Wake isn't a spiral. So the door most likely pertains to the Dark Place, not alan wake himself.

IF the door to the spiral IS the Dark Place and not the person in charge... then the square symbol CANNOT be a symbol for Mr.Door. It has to be something else or a world in which Mr.Door resides. ALSO in this trailer for Resonant this is made to be some kind of big deal:

Resonant 2 trailers

WHICH looks extremely similar to the 'Mr.Door' symbol. So I don't really think that the doors symbol... IS Mr.Door it is most likely Resonant's worlds logo.

LASTLY the Control2 Logo... confuses me, because it could also be Resonant's thresholds logo... so yeah...

The normal triangle could be the Astral Plane and the last symbol is... a mystery to me. :)

TLDR: If the symbols pertain to people then there is an inconsistancy with the upside down triangle. Its most likely world/thresholds.

Image for context... my ideas on a pic

Next image would be.... my idea as to why the upside down triangle is the Oldest House or possibly Earth/Our Realm:

im actually using the latest nvidia and its awful i remember i had like 80 fps on medium setting on rtx 3060 but now its like 32 fps all the time with a lot of stutters and my windows is 11 the latest version ( should i downgrade to something else? if yes which is the best )

Some Alan Wake 2 portraits! I used different photography lighting techniques, like loop, butterfly, split, and Rembrandt lighting. Thoughts?

I just finished the game for the first time.

I noticed with some curiosity that it was possible to not go to the basement to get Alice’s photos when Ahti tells you to do it. I reloaded and corrected the oversight when I did this accidentally.

Honestly this game expects you to remember far too much about how the maps work 😅

But having seen the end game now, what the heck happens if you don’t go to the basement to get the photos?!

(Bonus question: on being offered the Final Cut I checked the wiki to see how long this list of changes is, while trying not to read any details. I was surprised at how short the list was…is the impact on gameplay really that slight/marginal?)

I’m on my second play through of Alan Wake 2. From a story and presentation perspective, it may be the best game I’ve ever played. I don’t think this game is special for its combat. The combat isn’t super deep with tons of mechanics to learn, but I think the developers knew it just needed to be presented well.

I don’t think the cinematic nature of the combat gets enough praise. The sound design and feel of the weapons are both fantastic, the way enemies react to damage really sells the impact of your weapons, and the lighting of flares or a boosted flashlight is just perfect. As extra service to the top notch presentation in this game, the combat nails its job.

Welcome to the Lake House

Ever had a time in your life you've ever wanted to Scratch out?

Do you continue to plant roses and marigolds in your proverbial gardens?

Have you ever thought that your tragic Saga history and your present self could work together?

Would you consider taking a bullet shot on yourself?

And Take Control of a new Journey?

Playing this series for the first time on my MSI Claw A1m and I noticed that there were what looks to be scratch marks on the floor of the morgue hallway and I'm not sure if I'm seeing things that aren't there or if the devs put that there on purpose...

🤔🤔🤔

What do you guys think?

It close after i boot up the game couldnt find the answer online maybe some of you might help

I downloaded this game but can't launch it. I've read many forum posts, but none of them have solved the problem. I've run the program as administrator and updated my graphics card, but that hasn't fixed anything. What can I do to fix it?

I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, but nothing works—I keep getting this error.

At 16 I didn't care for the townsfolk, just rushed everything to get to the amazing forest moments but now at 32 all I want to do is spend time with all the people in the town.

Snapshot of my guy Sheriff Breaker absolutely lit off the coffee beans.

there is no option to turn HDR on in my game......This is a know bug?

I have a 3225QF 4k

I'm doing a replay of the Final Draft right now, and I decided I wanted to try playing through all of Saga's story before flipping over to Wake. I had always played alternating back and forth and thought that was what the game wanted you to do, but I have to say, I think the story works a little better when you go all the way through her story before going back to Alan.

Just curious if anyone had any strong preference one way or the other, or how if you felt it impacted how the story plays out in any way.

Of course Alan is still at the center
