@@BlazingOwnager I do believe they are testing the waters with the lore elements in this. If people like it they could make it the real lore, if not they could always say it was for the fun of it. But there could be some truth in there still concerning Mr Door for example.
I think it's interesting and noteworthy that Alan Wake was described before bright falls as a party hound hedonist with massive anger issues and a dark streak. After Bright Falls you have those characteristics split into Zane and Scratch, where Alan himself almost never comes off as any of those things. Yet consistently in each game, everyone who knew him before - they describe him as such.
We will see how it plays out in the future. But I suspect that there is some Freudian subdivision of the psyche stuff going on. Thank you for watching.
The Night Springs dlc is actually inter-spliced with the main game if you're playing it for the first time. For example: in the first "Alan" mission, you encounter a TV and play the 1st waitress episode before then continuing on with Alan's stage. I wonder if Lake House is also "in-game" like that?
In game, The Lake House becomes available right at the end of Return 6. When Estevez and Casey are waiting for Saga to tell them the summoning plan, you have the option to ask Estevez for details about her trip into town and what happened there. The narration is her talking directly to Saga (idk if that's made clear when you play it standalone). Then you go right into the point of no return (ha ha) save.
Does the opportunity return in Final Draft? I was confused when "Nr.1 Fan" popped up in the subway and backed out to the main menu. Felt like breaking the flow of my first run. I would prefer it in Final Draft, to complete the experience.
Always trying to have an open mind- but there have always been things about the genre that I’m not the biggest fan of. I recently played the Silent Hill 2 remake and SH: Short message- and I’ll definitely make a video about them in due time. But both experiences we super rad even if I was questioning certain choices. Honestly, I’m kinda of happy to take a little break from my boy Alan. I’ve been thinking about that fool almost everyday for the last year. But I’ll be there with bells on the next time Remedy drops anything. Thanks for watching, buddy.
Thank you! I always suspect that Alan Wake has become the ultimate big bad in this universe. I thought it was really f*cked-up that he wrote in Saga to his manuscript. Great analysis!
Yeah, I thought they were basically beating us over the heads with it during Night Springs- but the amount of people I run into that don’t seem to agree is pretty crazy. We will see in the future. And yeah, Saga, The Marmonts, and Lane all got super raw deals. Thank you for watching. I’m glad you liked the video.
I believe it was said that Alan Wake doesn't simply create realities. A claim that he is the root cause of all of the misfortune is incorrect. He is more of a conscientious medium between reality, fiction and the future. It's something like different futures and realities bleeding into his vision, which let's him write. So he is kind of like a clairvoyant more than anything.
@@digitalhauntology It's how it's explained in the main game. He sees "visions" of things that he could possibly have no idea about. He originally misinterpreted these visions as artistic inspiration, which is how he wrote the Casey novels. He didn't know he was writing about an actual guy
I loved Night Springs, myself, though I think Coffee World / North Star was the weakest. Number One Fan showed off how good the combat COULD have been in AW2 if they weren't afraid to give you more ammo and more enemies like the older games, and Time Breaker actually had a TON of huge ramifications for the greater universe - the reason you probably didn't think so is not playing Quantum Break.
Wasn’t there some documents talking about introducing Dylan’s drawings into the mix and like them trying to recreate Wakes writing lead to everything. I wasn’t under the impression that he actually wrote this scenario that’s playing out in the lake house.
All this said, I really hope that we get to play Alan way more in "his" next game than we did in Alan Wake 2. Saga was fine but I didn't find HER very interesting (everyone around her, however? Yes) but Alan was infinitely more interesting.

"People love the puzzles, Jaako!"
Night Springs was really just made for fun, and it's hilarious. The Lake House, on the other hand, really was a horror experience and they nailed it.
I think Time Breaker was deceptively lore heavy. There's a lot in there that goes beyond the joke, and it's overlooked.

That blue intro screen smashing in forced me to sub instantly lmao
Welcome to the channel!
I’m glad that splash screen worked 🤣
I'm glad you have warmed to horror games a little! Great video, feels bittersweet to close this chapter.

Digital hauntology sounds like my life. Subscribed!!

I will never unsee this.
Popping in to say I'm gonna buy Alan Wake 2 this week so I will finally be able to catch up on your videos that I haven't seen. Be well man 🤙🤘
I hope you enjoy catching up.
This one is special.
@digitalhauntology I will man very excited
Love your coverage of the remedy games
Thank you my friend.
You’re the best.
Hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you liked the video.
I think he's both the ultimate good and ultimate bad. He is both God and the Devil. Just look at how Scratch is described - and Alan is his inverse.

Yeah I think we just have different reads on what is going on.
We will see how it plays out in the future.

I think his power limitations people keep referring to as fact are an in-universe, in-character error.

You should of probably done your research too

Alan Wake 2 is Epic Games exclusive on PC, that's the only reason I just won't buy it.
