With some free time coming up over the holidays, I was wondering
whether I should dive into Alan Wake 2....

....somewhere among my searches, I stumbled on to this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ9Ydz7jo6I

It's like fucking Finnish Bollywood or something. Shocking and
disturbingly bad. People find this sort of thing entertaining? It
made me feel embarassed to have ever had an interest in a modern Alan
Wake game. It created trauma scars that not only am I pretty sure
cannot heal, but they may have actually reversed prior memories of
positive experience with the franchise.. lol

It's just tragic what gaming has become.

I had to look up some old Poets of the Fall tunes to be sure I wasn't
remembering it all incorrectly. Thankfully, my memory seems intact,
they used to put out some good shit:

Man, where did things go so horribly wrong?

Wouldn't say Bollywood, no exaggerated costumes and no vibrato.

More like some euro-power-metal ballading.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra etc.

>Shocking and disturbingly bad. People find this sort of thing entertaining?

Never played Alan Wake, but there's an entire sub genre of power metal
like this stuff.

Somehow it's much less egregious when the game itself is fantasy
themed. Part of what I liked about Alan Wake was that the very
premise of his character is a somewhat relatable / everyday guy... so
it just seems wrong to see him breaking out in song and dance.. lol

> And I'm playing Days Gone, btw, it's good!

Yeah, I think the general consensus is that is a good game... long,
but good.
