Alan Wake Special Edition unboxing

Nukezilla's Matt writes:

"I just received the limited edition of Alan Wake this morning, and suffice to say, I absolutely love the thing. As soon as I opened it up and checked it all out I felt that it was within my duty as a games blogger to share it with you, in the event that you may be shaky over spending the extra £10/$15 on this version of the game."

I'm torn on this game. I like the idea of it, but I can imagine it being very dull.

Nice seeing a high-quality special edition though. Better than spending £10 for some rubbish unlock code.

Christopher5849d ago

It's a very nice and very appropriate to the game special edition. I'm still biting my nails on whether I should get it or not just because of the SE is really nice, but what's holding me back is my huge queue of other games and the massive amount of games coming along that I really really want to play.

Damn having to work for a living, wish I could play all the games I want :(

verygoodyear5848d ago

I was excited 10,000 years ago when they announced it. Now I'm just a bit "meh" towards it.

Ghoul5849d ago

dont be a fool buy the game.

i have it SE version. And all i can say I love it, in fact i totally fell in love with it.

the SE is great too.

IdleLeeSiuLung5849d ago

That is a pretty nice LE. The only issue I see is why did they give us such a crappy case for the game? Give us at a minimum a real case that fits in with the rest of my collection.

... or better yet make it a steelbook!

Spydiggity5849d ago

watch the bright falls mini series. it's nuts. it convinced me that the game is worth is for the atmosphere alone.

I'm not really into tins. They're just more expensive and drop in value almost immediately. Still, this one looks pretty nice.

GameOn5849d ago

It's not a tin, it's card.

DannyVenom5849d ago

I am shaking just thinking about Alan Wake. When you open the box, does mist creep out?

evildeli5849d ago

That's a pretty cool lookin box. Might have to put it on my bookshelf instead of my game shelf.

pr0digyZA5849d ago

Looks like a very good limited edition. Much better than a thought.My best thing is the in game commentaries I love how Valve implemented that so seeing that in Alan Wake would warrant me playing through twice I cant wait. If you pre-order where I am it comes cheaper than the standard edition so no questions asked.

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8763d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

jznrpg175d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto762d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia763d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger762d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie762d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos762d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie762d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh762d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
