Have you pre-ordered Alan Wake? I know I have!

Probably not. I'm not a fan of survival-horror games, and that's what Alan Wake seems to be. I'm sure it will be a good game, but I just can't handle those types of games. Perhaps when it hopefully drops in price I'll pick up a copy.

Nah, personally it doesn't look too fun for me. There're tonnes of new games coming and I'll probably be something else instead of Alan Wake.

Got it on Amazon. This and Heavy Rain cover all my psychological thriller needs for the year.

Red Dead Redemption comes out the same day so I'm getting that instead. I'll probably rent Alan Wake at some point.

Sure have. Limited Edition also.

Yeah people don't spend your money the way you want to!!!!11

=/

the limited edition actually looks pretty cool, 144 page book 'written by alan wake', avatar stuff, theme, some other stuff i cant remember. if amazon gave a gift card with the purchase of the LE i would get it, but since they don't it's essentially 30 bucks for the book and extra XBL stuff.... 20 would be fine, but not 30.

God people..get the regular edition.gamer082009

Why? The first episodic DLC will probably be $10-15 when its released and you get it free if you get the limited edition, plus the soundtrack so I think the extra $20 is definitely worth it.

Yeah I have the Collectors Edition pre ordered. Its pretty great value for an extra $20. You get the DLC, a theme and picture pack, a soundtrack and a novel.

I was going to wait til reviews, but what the heck :)

Im excited, but I also have doubts. The movement in the E3 09 demo looked clunky. It could be another Alone in the Dark, we will see.

I always wait for reviews and/or a demo. I also wait in case there is a bunch of DLC that isn't free at launch. DLC that isn't free at launch drives me crazy.KC_Hokie

Well, I guess that you do not buy too many games then because there isn't too many games that do that. And why would they? That is how game companies make there money as it just isn't off of just selling the game that's for sure.

Also instead of complaining how about just don't buy it if it really bothers that much. It sounds like you miss alot of great games with that attitude.

Calm down, its his opinion.

On-topic: I didn't preordered it, RDR comes out the same month and i much prefer getting it. I "may" afford both if i have enough money, after all they both cost 79$ (after tax) >_< will also most likely get the normal edition, can care less about LE.

God people..get the regular edition.gamer082009

WHY?! Do you have actual reason people shouldn't, or are you just saying that for no reason besides you own? If you do not like the limited/collectors editions of games that is you problem not ours, so keep that nonsense to youself.

The Alan Wake Limited Edition looks to be much cooler than most other limited/collectors editions of games in the past years.

I dont really preorder.....I like saving money....but I would pre order alan wake if I really wanted to

No i'm not getting the game.

Maybe because the DLC won't be ready when the game releases and the limited edition lets people download it for free WHEN it is available. The developers already stated that Alan Wake has a complete ending and that the episodic DLC will bridge the gap between the first and second game(if they have a big enough audience so they can make a sequel).

no, personally I'm not into paying for something that isn't even finished.. Surely it makes sense to wait.. But it's your cash.

So are you telling me that you have never pre-ordered a game in the past?

People like me like to pre-order games, because they know that they want the game and they have the money now and they may not have it later and sometimes you get a bonus for pre-ordering that you would not get if you bought the game after it's release date unless you buy it off of someone on eBay.

I havent and wont pre-order. Im still skeptical about this game...i love the concept and it looks beautiful, but the announcement of Episodes leaves me to believe the final retail version is very short. ill wait for reviews to confirm.

I've been following this cult game Alan Wake for a while now. After being in development for so long, I feel it's not official yet. I feel like this May 18 date isn't for real, so I'm not going to pre-order yet until the very last 1-2 weeks.

On gameplay, I'm kinda, sorta disappointed with what I've seen so far. This light versus darkness gameplay combat doesn't look or sound that great on paper. Will every encounter require you to pull out a flare or flashlight to kill an enemy? Seems a bit cliche to me but I'm optimistic.

I know the graphics will be breath-taking. No doubt. But as we've learned from the past, graphics doesn't make the game.

As far as the story and the premise goes, I think it's very interesting and unique. An author starts writing for his book, and those imaginary visions come to life. It's pretty darn cool. This, along with Splinter Cell: Conviction will be last moment pre-orders for me. I'll wait and see.
