The game was worth it at its original price. MS screwed the pooch with it. With good advertising or a more steady flow of information beyond simply saying the game was pushed back again and again, that game would have done just as well as something like Heavy Rain. MS has no one to blame but themselves for the slow sales. They have backed much more ridiculous games that had a lot less chance of success.

It's a shame no one is buying this game at all. 360 gamers loved to hype up this game on N4G, but when it comes time to buy it, no one wants to.

360 gamer: Yeah, Alan Wake is the best game this generation!
PS3 gamer: You gonna buy it?
360 gamer: No. I rather buy Red Dead Redemption. But Alan Wake is still the best game this generation though, just that I am gonna buy Red Dead Redemption instead.
PS3 gamer: I buy both Heavy Rain and Red Dead Redemption.

It's a very good rental, but that's about it. It's unfortunate that the game failed to live up to both commercial and critical expectations.

CWMR5831d ago

It was well worth it at the original price. It was easily one of the best single player experiences I have had this generation.

ABizzel15831d ago

$10 is not enough for me to consider. I liked the concept of having it run like a TV series, but the game wasn't up to par with my expectations. Everything delivered except the gameplay it wasn't bad at all just not $60 worth or $50, maybe $40.

$30 = Day 1 for that price

Game13a13y5831d ago

guess that's because nobody is buying it in its original price?

zeeshan5831d ago

I waited for ALAN WAKE for years! Really, I thought this game would really take things to the next level but after I played it, I just couldn't stop feeling bored. It was the same thing over and over again. IMO, it was NOT worth $60 at all.

Sarcasm5831d ago

I still need to rent this.

dangert125830d ago

it was worth it before but the cheaper the better

Weaksauce11385830d ago

Awesome game, hopefully this new price point will get more to enjoy its awesomeness. Thankfully my enjoyment of it isnt conditional to its sales figures, which of course we have no clue of since NPD's havent even been released.

Worth the price for anyone who have not played the game yet

Yi-Long5831d ago

... along with some other recently new games, but I won't be picking it up...

I don't know. When it was first announced it all looked amazing, and in the end they kinda went a different way with it and it just looked a bit boring to me.

I'll probably pick up Battlefield BC2 and World Cup today, also for 19 euro each.

Yi-Long5830d ago

... bought Alan Wake anyway. Battlefield was sold out, and they sold the Alan Wake Limited Collectors Edition (book!?) for 19 euro as well, so it seemed like an OK deal.

-EvoAnubis-5831d ago

That was quick. Wonder why? Are 360 owners not buying this game? If I had a 360, I'd've bought it! Well, now there's no excuse. This game needs to be played!

jdktech20105831d ago

I thought about it but too many games coming out and already out that I have to play through between Starcraft 2, Halo Reach, etc....just thinking ahead and saving money

Sounds like a good one though

MightyMark4275831d ago

Well for fans of the survival horror genre, then Alan Wake is a MUST get

Mr Marbles5831d ago

I recommend playing it in the dark. I like how long the game is, made me feel like I got my moneys worth.

MightyMark4275831d ago

playing in the dark adds up the "Scary" atmosphere in the game

NMC20075831d ago

I have 1 achievement left for Alan Wake, awesome and engaging game.

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.

gigoran8788d ago

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

jznrpg200d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto787d 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

Knightofelemia788d 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.

Chocoburger787d 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? 🙄

Rynxie787d ago

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

Profchaos787d 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.

Rynxie787d ago

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

Asplundh787d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
