I was right all alongabout Alan Weak being such a failure. Compared to Heavy Rain, AW was major flop because it took so much time to developand everyone was hyping it as AAA. Xbox fanboys kept all saying its gonna PWN because its made by Remedy. Low sales low scores and bad graphics means I was right about AW all along from my previous threads. Thanks.

8.5 at GS and 83 at Metacritic are low scores?

The game was awesome.

don't know about that but we all can agree this post is pointless, don't understand whats up with people and game sales, it seems trivial to me i know this is system wars but you guys must have run out of things to talk about

nope.

beause I hyped it AA, go ahead and find my posts.

I also called it a rental game. and I ended up giving it a personal score of 9 here on Gamespot.

I'm sorry. PStripl3.

but I can have a personal opinion that doesn't follow System Wars rules.

Having above an 80 on metacritic and getting an 8.5 here doesn't really fail under poor. And I think its probably one the best looking 360 games as well.

Don't think Alan Wake flopped critically, kind of did commercially.

1. AA is a low score now? :?

2. Alan Wake is one of the better looking games on the 360.

3. Sales isn't always a good measure of quality. ;)

It has good scores.

I'm getting tired of all these lame sayings like

"we can all agree" "really?" "??? says hi" and all the other lame BS that EVERYONE picks ups.

Bad graphics? Bad scores? It may not be the best in graphics but it's far from bad, and if you think low AA is bad then you must not play too many games.

well if your saying that heavy rain was the better game then you are right, but alan wake wasnt bad, though i do understand what your trying to say about ti being developed so long and not being mind-blowing. but then again it didnt sell well.

........I enjoyed Alan Wake far more, its plot was far more interesting.. Furthermore I am not a fan of AW's gameplay.. I played it during the mid to late 90s on the pc, when the narration control stories were all the rage..

Alan Wake disappointed me, but it had some fun in there. I hope they get to do a new IP since it seems they aren't being renewed for a sequel.

you make it sound like they arent an independent developer...

EDIT: I played both, enjoyed both... I think Alan Wake was more enjoyable though.

If it's one thing that can be learned, it's that SW "can't all agree" and "can't all admit". So your thread fails.

Both were well reviewed and both were enjoyed by a lot of people here.

There seems to be a strong want for a sequel though.

The development time does make it a bigger flop but they are still both flops.

8.5 is not low, the sales I hear were underwhelming though.
