Well put together video, with fleshed out points. However I completely disagree with this game being disappointing. The attention span and patience levels of the average human is so low nowadays, that if you are not smashing buttons in a fight or some adrenaline boosting gameplay
Honestly I didn’t like the game as much as everyone else seemed too. Idk just wasn’t what I was expecting. Looks amazing, story is eh, but the first game had me very invested. Idk what it was about this one.
Quite a few comments clearly just reacting to the title and not the review itself, which is a shame as it's pretty succinct. Might be worth expanding the title.
Well, it didn't even make its budget back, so there's that. A lot of people think it's the best thing since sliced bread though. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere in the middle. A lot to admire for sure but this game is INCREDIBLY "hand-holdy", with the protagonist telling you the blindingly obvious until you're blue in the face. That said, the Alan Wake side much better than the Saga Anderson side. Better than Quantum Break, inferior to Control and falling way short of the appeal and magic of Alan Wake 1. Not to mention Max Payne.
Even though i liked the game, i have to agree with a lot of this. Saga was my least favorite character onky cause her British accent was so apparent when shes supposed to be American, and this bad acting just stands out so fucking much compared to how good the rest of the game is.
It's really low of you to title the video "Why X was disappointing" with your self-righteous claim that something was supposedly undeniably disappointing to begin with. That's how you are gonna lose subscribers. If you want to argue in front of other people that something was disappointing, then simply title the video "Was Alan Wake 2 disappointing?" or "My personal opinion about AW2" and elaborate on what YOU wished to see there. You don't need to be a genius to know that something cannot be universally disapponting to all players. Moreover, I know many people who loved this game. By spreading to others your own ready conclusion, you make yourself look super biased and not like a credible source.
I am simply establishing my stance in the title of the video. The existence of the video implies it is an extension of my opinion, and I try to establish that multiple times in the video for slower members of the audience. I am not claiming that it is a disappointment of a game, but that it is disappointing (to me), and I believe I make that clear in the video. If you cannot see that, then I cannot be sure that you were paying attention. My love for this game (that I also established) does not change my opinion that it could have been better.
I remember after I finished a friend told me about the final draft he said just I should just look on youtube for the new ending as I have no interest re playing it, I will play the DLC, the game is great but i didnt love it.
Also i hate the ending because of rose going back to the dark place to save alan, it just brings it back to the status quo of the end of the first one, it seemed like nothing was really accomplished by the end of this game which is a damn shame
I'm not really sure i'm anticipating a remake of Max Payne from the Remedy of today, they let something get to their heads. I still hope it could be good but i unfortunately don't get my hopes up after that.
Awesome level design with unique story. Worked just fine for me
It was not disappointing IMO

Eh. Calling Saga's actor's performance flat while downplaying or straight up ignoring good bits of her performance isn't a valid take.
I said a few times she has some good stuff and tried to acknowledge that her performance might just be something that's not for me.
For someone’s voice that I have to hear constantly, I thought she was mediocore
that's literally what a take is...
Best game of the year hands down
that goes to Baldur's Gate 3
@@RiveryJerald overrated boring game, baldurs hate 3 is boring as hell
Totally disagree I loved this game

alan wake series has so much wasted potential
I hope you'll never play Bloodborne. You'd hate the storytelling of that one.
Bloodborne is a top five game for me

Cool, it was one of the best games last year and was my favorite from last year.
Enjoy shouting into the void.

It was more of a parody then a real game.
I miss the actually funny comedy with Barry in Alan Wake 1. Nowadays they only do “artsy” humor where you’re not supposed to laugh or even smile.
were you not supposed to laugh and smile at the fucking power ballad stage musical??? are you stupid?

Awful takes overall
