Same here. I’ll either wait it out until it eventually comes to Steam or just watch an LP.
PC gaming has taught me patience.
Time = Bug fix + cost saving
Yeah, I got control goty edition on steam with all the bells and whistles and thoroughly enjoyed it. I expect the same from Alan Wake.
I agree. Also having some decent native optimization for the Deck wouldn't be too bad.
I would have picked it up but in waiting for it to come to Steam
Epic published the game, gonna be a long wait. It will come to steam when epic gives up the storefront dream, which is to say never.
I can wait. I got plenty to play. Even Xbox and Playstation are publishing their exclusives on good platforms now. Origin caved. I can wait a decade+ for Todd or Tim or whatever his name is to run out of fortnite money, lol.
For the most gamers I know games are available on Steam or the high seas, especially for me that use Linux so Epic games are not officially available, every game that only releases on Epic for me it's a "too bad, I would have bought it"
Yup, I've never spent a dime at Epic because they don't support Linux. I've bought games from Steam, Humble, and GOG because they do, and I spend far more on Steam because they support Linux better than the other two.
It's pretty simple for me, if it's easy to get on Linux, I'll buy it. If not, I won't.
I'm still waiting for Kingdom Hearts... How long has it been now?
Only 850k copies? Jesus. Maybe release it on a bigger platform, lol. Like...not Epic?
Ampere estimates that globally, just on console, Alan Wake 2 sold 850,000 copies as of the end of November.
And,
Epic Games does not provide digital sales data to Circana, so there's just no way for Circana to tell us how well it sold.
So no one knows apart from Epic and Remedy
If the number was high Sweeney wouldn't shut up about it, so we can guess it is low.
Can't wait to play once it's out on steam
I wouldn't bet on it. It's published by epic, after all. The Alan Wake remaster still hasn't made it to steam, either.
Not releasing on physical media was a huge mistake.
Wait, no physical sales on console, no steam on PC?
Correct. When I found out it wasn't going to be on steam, I figured I'd get a physical copy for the PS5 instead. Found out that wasn't all option either...
Yeah, I would have bought if it was released on a physical disk.
They're just asking for it to be pirated by locking it to epic games launcher.
Good thing nobody on Lemmy believes in pirating media though
Probably a good game, not sure, but most of my gaming time is spent on Baldur's Gate 3, play-through after play-through.
My problem exactly
Between BG3 and the Cyberpunk 2.0 and DLC my Gametime is already running pretty thin
Perhaps I'll manage to play it in february
I absolutely loved the game
Is the original one worth playing first or is it fine to just watch a playthrough?
I've tried the remastered version on PS5, and it's rough. The atmosphere is great, the combat not so much. Personally, I've just watched a plot summary on YouTube, there are many, but I prefer Lady of Lore's.
Also, the game itself features a semi-conprehensive summary of the first game as well.
Thanks, I'll check out some of those videos!
I tried to but 2 episodes in I couldn't stand the combat and just watched a good supercut of all the cut scenes and dialog in the game. Gave me everything I wanted tbh
What's wrong with the combat??
I found the enemies really frustrating to deal with.
With the little resources I'd have and how many of them would come at you at once, there were quite a few times I'd be dodging something and I'd have been flanked and killed. Or I would run out of resources quite quickly and have to bail on fighting the enemies and just run away while dodging and hope I'd get to the light in time.
Given I am so into the story (I really do love these games) I was feeling like I wanted the combat to be over so I could spend more time with the characters.
I would have played but my 5 year old system can barely run it…
Yeah I really want to play it, but can't until I upgrade.
