Emulation is great, it was how I used to play this (even if I never stuck with a save file). The singular save file was such a missed opportunity. I wish we got the option to choose between a shared file and everyone having their own

I might I’ve thought about it for a few things, Soldering is what’s putting me off though. Do they require soldering or is it like the Switch Joycons where they just use a ribbon cable?

Yeah, I’m using FSR to upscale to use Ray Tracing because I like messing with the options, but the default “Medium” without RT option looks really good too (honestly I’d argue there’s not much of a difference between them unless you put them side by side). I highly advise playing it whether you like narratives, pretty graphics, or both.

It’s the only game I’ve given a pass for on the Epic Game’s store, and even then. If it ever makes a jump over to Steam or GOG or something else, I’m buying it there ASAP. The first Alan Wake is one of my favorites, and I think this one shares the throne, if not toppling the first

It might have, honestly it’s been a while since I read through all the manuscript pages

Is there any major depth to it or are the sexualized characters the main focus with everything just being a side piece to it?

I haven’t actually. It’s the first I’m hearing of the game. What’s it like?

I saw people online mention that a rogue should be using an axe and even some people saying it’s one of the best weapons. I dismissed it as just me misreading it, I’ll have to check try it though because I almost bought one

What exactly is DOA? All I know about it is that its got a volleyball game

The water really is pretty. It’s got the same quality that makes me love Ocarina of Time’s Water.

I can get home people love the combat, even if it’s not for me, all that depth and RPG like qualities makes it interesting

Damn. If I had known about the bugs going there I would have just taken that

I’ve been using an Online map to navigate. It’s how I got to Gnisis. It was a fun experience, even if I did miss fast travel.

when I was younger I could totally see myself thinking a moon meant a whole moon cycle.

I’d say it’s about the same as Daggerfall, at least in my opinion. The controls though I feel were a lot better communicated

The magic was what made me initially interested. I hear people talking about how utterly broken it is with very little restraints and it made me want to try it

Definitely enjoyed that relic. I stopped and checked the date and had to do a quick check because I was thinking “Oh. Six years ago? That was like what, 2012? 2013?”. Nope. 2020. I feel ancient

I might try that after starting over then (or see if there’s a console command to let me redo the class selection so i don’t have to start over)

I’m glad you’re doing better! I notice it’s a reoccurring theme for people to go through stuff like that with MMOs.

My best friend went through the same thing with ESO and FFXIV because he felt alone and wanted to connect with people. He had spent roughly 400$ on FFXIV subscriptions alone until he got better, so I know how rough it can be.

But yeah, I have mixed feelings on ESO, and FFXIV while we’re on the subject. I had fun, but damn with how much money they try to siphon from the player it makes me not want to touch them and kind of cheapens the experience for me

Stamina is the green bar, right? I had actually read about that after doing a surface level reading into the combat, I’m just not really sure how to incorporate that into the combat if it makes sense, as I believe it drops with attacks.

I’ll try getting my weapon skills up to help though, and maybe the mod too lmao.

The wait for Alan Wake I to II was so painfully long, but so god damn worth it. I feel like I remember seeing Alan Wake III on their near plans though. So hopefully soon

Firebreak was fun and really solid, definitely lacking a lot of content though. I think Remedy’s scale and (I believe) It being handled by a sister studio they setup definitely provided a hurdle.

Once i saw everything there is to see, there’s not a lot keeping me coming back except when i get an itch for the gameplay loop again. I got maybe 100 hours out of it playing with friends. and even then, thats just me.
