E4G: Alan Wake Interpretation

E4G: Alan Wake is a game that not only is fun to play, but fun to discuss. It is short, yes, but I have spent more time talking and discussing the meaning of this game more than I have played other games. It is not an easy story to wrap one’s mind around. There are plot twist, character developments, massive lore and homage to various pieces of work and people. But the story is different than that of, let’s say, Mass Effect. With Mass Effect, what you see is what you get. There is little to, almost, no room for interpretations and just plain guess work. With Alan Wake, the player has to decide what things mean.

dkblackhawk505805d ago

Yet people with agree but this game was not meant for everyone.

mmoracerules5805d ago

I loved the video series that they made for this game, Bright Falls I think it was called.

dkblackhawk505805d ago

Yep, it was Bright Falls. A great (short, sadly) video series.

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.

gigoran8780d ago

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

jznrpg192d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

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

Knightofelemia780d 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.

Chocoburger780d 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? 🙄

Rynxie780d ago

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

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.

Rynxie780d ago

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

Asplundh780d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
