I guess they are serious about their story... I still say possible GOTY.

Good idea. I don't want the genius narrative written by Sam Lake to be spoiled. Can't freaking wait.

Reviewers like IGN, Gamespot, X-Play, etc will get the version with the ending so you shouldn't fear.

Just a what-if...

the ending is crap and they don't want it damaging scores, and potentially day 1 sales?

No, as apposed to one that would not be a deal to have spoiled like CoD. Story is the most important aspect of Alan Wake.

how could a game site give the game a review if remedy software gives them a game that is unfinished. This is such bs that reviewers don't get a full game, and have to review it on 90% of the product. If they were so serious about the story, just tell the reviewers not to mention anything in their NDA to spoil the ending. Because this is about as dumb as dumb goes.

This is what I thought, not on the sales side, but more like protecting the scores... But I guess if reviewers said "BS story with athe most crappy ending ever", could end up with bad sales.

If it is preview copy than why do people give a ****. I mean most preview copies have 1/4 of the game.

Well, the super part of that playthrough isnt the dedication and time you put into the playthrough, its the fact that you didnt start hallucinating mid playthrough :?

Same, you will not be seeing me in the month prior to AW's release. Forums are going to be a big no no to that game
