Today's game is Alan Wake. I had a ton of free time and managed to get pretty far. I'm playing on Steam Deck so my frame rates occasionally dip below 30 (You can tell my low video settings by Alan's face). I saw someone online though talking about a FSR-3 mod for it though and how it's super simple. Figured i'd install it. ended up spending 4 hours on it. First the tutorial was outdated and i had to install the mod directly into the game, then the controller wasn't being detected, then it wouldn't launch in game mode, then the mod vanished. At that point i said screw it and went back to the game. I might try again tomorrow because the benefits seem worth it.
This screenshot i took was in the Ocean View Hotel while making my way back into the main foyer area. I love how this game upped the thrill factor. I do prefer the first games controls i think, but this one i think has me constantly on edge. I love it. I also like the nods to the first game too. One example is There's a shoebox where i can store items, and i think it's an amazing reference to the lore of the first game.
I took a bonus screenshot while Alan was getting his face pummeled in by a Shadow. It looks like he's taking a selfie while pissed off:
Hell yes! Dude I still have been replaying it. And finding new stuff. That DLC, too! It’s so damn good. Glad you’re enjoying it! And I’m glad you remembered to let me know hah! I wish there were more games like this.
I saved your comment just so i could remember to update you. The game i don't know if it's the nature of the story or what, but Alan Wake 2 i can't seem to want to leave. There's just so much love and care put into it that everytime i go into it, i notice a new thing i didn't before, whether it's a little detail like the pages in the subway or a foreshadowing i missed the first time. I love it
