Today’s Game is Alan Wake. I finally got a chance to finish Chapter 1 on nightmare mode.
It was surprisingly easy. If you look at my ammo you’ll notice I still have a ton of Shotgun rounds. That’s because I conserved Ammo and fled when I could, hoping to use it in the fight against Stucky. Turns out though, Stucky went down in a couple Flare Gun Shots and took all the other Taken with him.
I also got stuck wandering around in the woods for a while, as it turns out I took a wrong turn. Those woods are like a fucking maze.
The photo I chose for today was of the Gas Station. It felt appropriate as the End of Chapter 1, since that’s where I chose to end my gaming session for today.
I’m going to continue with Chapter 2 tomorrow hopefully though, as it turns out I still have my Alan Wake II save from when I thought I deleted it because it ate my Steam Deck’s battery alive and I’m a few chapters into that, so I’d like to make parity with them before playing parallel (assuming I don’t end up changing my mind).
Is this the original release or the remaster?
Turns out the remaster has a terrible bug affecting AMD CPUs that makes enemies, NPCs and the terrain flicker like crazy, the workaround on PCGW did nothing for me, and it never got patched AFAIK, so I ended up replaying the original…
The original. The Remaster looks impressive except everyone has bug eyes and it bothers me. Also I can only get it through Epic afaik, so I’d rather stick with the original where I know it’s guaranteed to work
