Well i'm ten hours in on this game and its really good, sometimes you can kinda guess whats coming next but so what right lol...

Loving the story thus far, it tells it in a way with detail so you get every thing you need to know whats going on, but sometimes it can feel like bits were snipped alittle short. It does a good job in engrossing you tho, you'll be fighting your way through the forest to get to your destination to find out more about whats happening then without explaining to much it will flip into another perspective, which leaves you with a sense of an epic mystery.

Gameplay is overall crisp... it has simple gameplay elements but by no means shallow. My only REAL niggle with it is the not so shy screen tearing.

Definately a must by for those who love games for their great story telling.

Want to know any details just send me a reply :D

hard to say being as i havent finished the game. This game did take 5 years to make which is a looong time but when you play it.. it shows, they really wanted to make a brilliant thriller in a playable game world.. i think all their work has payed off and they managed to capture what they initially set out to do. The core gameplay doesnt really change much, its the story thats the soul of this game and i think its this thats the short fall of it becoming game of the year in my opinion. Even tho i'm enjoying this game fully at the moment, my verdicts... No

How long do you estimate it to be ? and final question, is there boring droughts ? (repetitiveness, deja vu thrills etc.)

You can always form an opinion on a game no matter how early it is, when UC2 came out people called it GOTY right off the bat.

I dont know, i could only guess 15-20 hours maybe.. after all how longs a piece of string. This is my first playthrough so its all fresh and new as it will be for you when you play, but in regards to your question i havent came across a section 'as of yet' where i found it to be boring or oh i've already done something similar. The gameplay evolves round the story, so the areas you traverse will always be fresh with gameplay variations according to whats going on in the story.

Good to hear, I'm interested in playing this game! Did you get the Limited Edition copy by any chance? What's it come with if so. If not then thanks for telling us a little about this game. :) Oh how are the achievements also if you don't mind me asking.

I can't pass Alan Wake up on May 18th which coincidentally releases along side RDR on the same day. I dont really have much of a choice but to buy both games day one. In the long run, I'm supporting both developers so everyone wins, I guess.

naa i aint got the limited edition lool. As for the acheivements there pretty standard. You get some from just playing through the game normally and other require more of a dedication to get. I can put the achievements up but that means writing them all dwn lol. so unless you really REALLY wanna see them then i aint gona bother with that task

RDR is going to kick the panties off of Alan Wake. I'll probably wait for Alan to hit the bargain bin in a year or so, or try to rent it. Early reviews indicate that it definitely is not worth the full price of admission.

If it makes it any better on the guy, Meijers and Walmart have been seen selling this game very early..this would be why the game leaked online.

Wow, he did pirate it. Shame on you TC IF that's the case. But we can't say 100% sure he did, but I do see it's been leaked on pirate sites. Lost Planet 2 has been leaked as well. I should be getting Lost Planet 2 next week, and hopefully Alan Wake the week after. But unfortunately I wont be able to get RDR :( ..too many for my pocket. I'll buy one and rent the rest.

Of course he pirated it. LOL @ the people trying to rationalize how he's playing it. It's been available on the piracy scene for a few days now.

Two wrong's do not make a right. What do you know about making videogames? Have you played Alan Wake yet? So how did you determine that this game was a rip-off already? Comments like these that piss off people who actually buy the game and enjoy it as well. Alan Wake is far from the craptastic list of games that do not deserve a purchase. But does a game deserved to be pirated despite its poor quality? The simple answer is NO. It's illegal, and there's no justifiable reason unless you're a petty crook.

I never said I hate pirates..... I just pointed out that it is beyond obvious that he pirated the game, and I thought it was funny that there are a whole bunch of naive people trying to defend the guy, when it is crystal clear how he is playing it.

Or better yet... he could add me on XBox Live to prove it, since his Live account is most likely banned from a modded system.

It does matter what version you're playing and in saying that you confirm you pirated it. If everyone decides to pirate games the companies go out of business. The gaming industry is a business after all believe it or not.

So many people are quick to pirate games but would flip **** if you have to mow your lawn and your mommy doesn't give you a twenty spot for your hard work.It's a slap in the face to the developer and rather disrespectful.

so i take it you dont use any unlicenced software on your pc, watch any illegal rips of dvds or films, listen to and download any pirated music. if so its just the same and your a hypocrite. just coz its games and not music or films does not make it different in any way

Russian pirates sale Alan Wake (even translated to russian language) in my city just right now. I don't get it: where they get the game if it's release date is not earlier than 18 may? I don't play the game yet. I don't want to buy a pirates copy. I will wait for official release and for game appearance in russian shops (and internet shops too). I hope the game will be great.

same...i was expecting to see discussions about the game, but its all complaining about how he got it. I for one am not one to support pirating, but i'm not going to shove it down others throats...as if my opinion really matters lol.

So, hows the game?

Shame there's not much discussion about the actual game in this thread.
