Revisiting my Alan Wake 2 Predictions
in retrospect what we saw with jesse and tom the poet is most likely that parautilitarians have more resilliance against reality changes, but it also shows that even jesse could fall ( at one point or another) to them. thus we needed an anderson whom it seems have almost immunity to it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

:::Spoilers::: If you haven’t figured it out yet: the FBC is a manifestation of Zane’s writings; and “the oldest house” I believe is meant to be (Odin’s Horse) or Yggdrasil the world tree… with the area inside the “house”, being Asgard. Ahti, was hired to protect the house: He originally lived in Watery, and you visit his residence in Alan Wake 2; it’s the cabin stuck in the loop at coffee world (Nightless Night, Same Lake’s movie, explains this, and how he was hired)… In Norse Mythology: he is sometimes represented as a talking squirrel, or the keeper of Yggdrasil; who maintains and protects the world tree, essentially a Janitor. The Plot: is based heavily on Norse Mythology, meaning based on what happened in the first game, we most likely know what will happen in the 2nd… Northmoor is quite obviously a representation of Surtr; caste in fire with his tightening headband; and will bring about Ragnarok… My guess is… Trench was never a true director, I believe Trench and the Board stopped Ragnarok by encasing Northmoor in the NSC2; and I think this is the reason for the events of Control… I think Northmoor reached out to Dylan via the astro-plane as “the Former” director, explaining that the FBC needed to be destroyed: which is why the hiss was released; eventually causing the NSC2 to fail, and Northmoor to bring about Ragnarok… I think Trench knew something like this was going to happen: which is why he was searching for a strong enough replacement to be able to fight Northmoor directly, or at least be able to keep him in the NSC2 indefinitely… I think this also explains his obsession with the slide projector; he thought he’d be able to “control” it, and become powerful enough to become a true director… I also think the Hiss would have most likely never been able to break into “the oldest house”; if it hadn’t been for the mining of Black Rock, which weakened Yggdrasil’s barriers between Realms… The last thing I’ll leave you with is… In Norse Mythology symbolism is very important, and travel using Yggdrasil(Odin’s horse) is usually done by using symbols of the place your trying to get to… this sounds an awful lot like the “Oceanside Motel”; which allows transit between different realms (games), via the symbols on the doors…
Jesus the racism here is insane
Yep! Disgusting
great content!
Thanks!
I finished the DLC just now. I thought it was a nicely paced, atmospheric and well put together side story that culminated in one of the most frustrating and irritating boss fights I've played since ... Half of the bosses in Control. I think Remedy can spare a few more production dollars on bringing the gameplay design part of their company to par with the story side.
I think that’s fair. The boss fight was frustrating, but still better than their pre-Control boss fights.
@@HiddenMachineGaming Yeah, I'll agree with that. Still, the final boss just made me mad, and it kind of soured the whole ending! Errg.
I think the marketing of this game did not know exactly what the game was about so did not know how to market it. I like the idea of this game and will probably pick it up when i'm in a slump of games to play.
I think you're right. The game is 50% off on Steam for the next 46 hours, might be the right time to cop it
When Thomas Zane gave himself and the dark version of Barbara Jagger to Couldren Lake, why were his body and her body able to rise again in their respective light and dark versions? I thought Jagger was originally only able to be brought back because Zane, in his grief, wrote her back into existence after she drowned? So, who wrote Zane and Jagger back into existence?
No mention of Twin Peaks in coffee segment. Tahd.
I left a lot unsaid in every segment
@ odd
I don't think it really makes sense to question what was the original prime reality in this setting since the reality retcons are comprehensive and reach back in time creating an impossibly tangled mess where effect does not follow cause.
2:36:06 Control has a similar thing with the elevator in the warehouse in the Foundation, but it's optional: you pass clusters of Hiss while going up and if you manage to destroy all of them on your way, you get a Maneki-Neko cat. Now, having played Max Payne, it feels for me like a little callback thing
Did you find all of the cats?
@@HiddenMachineGaming I cheated by using a walkthrough, but I did. I did find a couple by myself though
7:53 Hey, do you have the link for this polish video? I cannot find it anywhere
We have second channel, I will upload it there for you today www.youtube.com/@theocean665
This Game it's si bored dónde Seriously
You can now skip fights completely 👍 or make them not appear, you can also pick through individual saves, the game keep all your saves through all the chapters now 👇⏱️ 👍👍👍
Yes! The latest update is really good
2:36 I'm still playing dust born, I became curious about it since the devs and the game are continuing to garner hate to this day. And I thought: "is it really that bad that people are still talking about it?" I'm at the part where the group are trying to get into the mall now, before they face off against futuristic science people. And so far.... I like the game, I like the characters, I like the mini game mechanics that help you progress, I always loved these kinds of games where you can basically make the story your own through dialogue options and choices you make in game. I heard so many bad things about sai, but I found *way of the mind* sai to be more reasonable and less "complain-y" The only complaint I had about noam is that its hard to find a balance in the choices she offers to just stay friends but also not make a love triangle (since Pax is pregnant and trying to get to her man in Nova Scotia... At least that's a theory I heard about it) Theo is pretty cool, I'm trying to get to the end of the game with the "ok dad" coda, cause I see him as a caring leader of the group. Pax is.... Honestly not bad, after the the recent updates to the game, you can make her a more likable character, in my opinion at least, I like how you can avoid using her vox to make things worst. Ziggy was really annoying at first, I didn't use vox in her at all and tried talking to her the whole liberty arc of the story, and someone even after revealing that Pax never "ran away" and that their moms lied to her, she still found a way to pissed off at Pax, which is funnily enough pretty annoying, but everything between them got resolved in the next arc which was pretty nice 👍 Eli Is the newest character now, and CT the caretaker bot lol I'm enjoying the game, the music mini game is alright, I like rhythm games, the me-em echo hunting minigames are cool, I like exploring every corner of a map and this just Incentivises me more. I really wanna try to get the best ending possible, in my opinion, for each character. And that surprises me, the game managed to make me care about where their story's end. I feel like a lot of people that play the game and then release a judgement and say it's trash don't really try to make the characters likable, they go into the game not with an unbiased mindset but already with their set hatred, and they play the game with that view : that "I hate this game" view It sucks that this game was sponsored using tax payer money, I understand some people have gripes with the leftist views of this game, but I don't think (what I've seen so far) is a bad message, I haven't seen the infamous racist scene yet, but instead I've seen the blatant discrimination for people with voice/ word powers, that scene with the police in the diner is very prominent in my mind because I have heard people talk like that in a racist manor, I like how it wasnt about race though, like vox gives a way to show discrimination in an ambiguous/non-specific kinda way, maybe it's race, maybe it's religion, maybe it's political opinion. I get why it had to be America if this was their intention, cause this is "the" place where all of that is present all the time. I feel like it was smart, it doesn't feel like its being shoved down my throat, because I've been places where that's just how people are. The me-em being used to pull misinformation out of peoples heads is *chefs kiss* perfect, in my opinion 😂 Because it's true, a lot of people who discriminate against a race, against a religion, or certain people with certain political standing, do so because of the misinformation they consume, or they're Generalizing, or they do so based solely on their own experiences, instead of seeing it as an isolated event they just generalize it to the whole group. It's an interesting story that's being told through the game, but maybe it's cause I'm playing the most recent version of the game, maybe they took out and changed some stuff, either way, I like it how it is rn, so far. But we'll see if that changes as I keep playing.
The Australian The project can’t be real as after experiencing the 360 here in Australia the fact there was no RROD’s on any of those 360’s they used seems impossible lol. Personally I had 4 consoles that bit the dust from launch with 2 of them being replaced by the store in the same day it was that bad. The other 2 within a fortnight. The only 360 I own that still works is the Modern Warfare 2 special edition which seems to be bullet proof for whatever reason A for Alan Wake I have the Ltd edition 360 collectors one that came with the novel and the box was designed like a mystery book. It is really cool. As far as atmosphere and creepiness with color choice etc the 360 is still the best version to play. The original is still one of my all time favourite games and is much better than Alan Wake 2.
My cat is also super anti-woke. He wears a little red hat when he thinks I'm not watching.
Really enjoyed Cygni.
I wanted to love it, but I am so bad at it!
Love you guys so much for mocking all the losers who can’t handle women or other ethnicities being in anything haha ❤️ yall rock
i really enjoyed this dlc, which is no suprise to me because anything related to the realm of control always fascinates me suffice to say i was looking forward to this dlc the most and it didn’t disappoint for the most part. of course there’s a few things they fell short on, like interesting combat encounters, an actual good boss fight, which by this point ive accepted remedy is not capable of given their track record 😭, and overall length of playtime. very solid dlc and setup for control 2 !
Ooo what trailer is the thumbnail from? I remember a punk-ish song playing and she squeezed into a space suit
CYGNI: All Guns Blazing! That trailer is the also the opening cutscene for the game.
Huniepop?
Cant wait for your Trap movie review
This humour is exactly my jam.😂
Thanks for this Overview. Stalker 2 is upcoming so the Rest of the Year is planned and next Year plan to play all Remedy Games again so will not invest in Indie Games or smaller Games but appreciate the Video :)
You’re gonna have a great time with all that!
I don't know if I really agree with your views on Barry Wheeler. He's a bit of a problematic figure, that goes without a doubt - but Tor and Odin were rockers. No manager has ever been able to keep perfect control of their talent. And like, the thing with the nursing center? The fact of the matter is that Barry Wheeler paid for a service and should not have needed to stick around to ensure it was done - the contractors are at fault for the issues with Valhalla Nursing Centre's renovations. Wheeler IS at fault for not checking in on things and having further repairs done, however. Barry Wheeler kinda sucks, we've all heard his egotistical remarks in interviews, but I don't think he's the horrible mismanager that you've implied him to be. Just another talent manager with a head too big for his actions.
35:17 There was a portrait on the wall, where portraits of Trench and Jessie were mixed, so we see they are getting some signal from the Oldest House that the director may have changed, but it's too weak
Oh, just caught it on footage later in the video, that it's actually in the Oceanview Motel threshold section, so never mind
It’s like a surface of water after something falls through. I feel like the whole Control 2 symbol is about waves/ripples. It ties well all the symbolism/metaphysics behind remedyverse.
I get that the comments about female characters around the 8 minute mark were sarcastic and meant as a joke, but as a woman who's a fan of Remedy games and enjoys your content, I didn't find it funny at all. I don't care at all about your personal taste in breasts and doubt any other woman watching does either. Even if you were joking, the reality is that some of your first comments on the game were focused on objectifying female characters and repeating mysoginistic talking points "sarcastically" without any condemnation of that viewpoint. Even if that wasn't your intention at all, you didn't think about how that would make a woman feel at any point from filming to uploading. As a fan of the channel it was really disappointing.
Yeah, I like his normal videos but couldn’t watch this one, little disappointed at the douchebag attitude.
For us, sarcastically bringing it up is condemning it. We’re mocking the types of comments we see on our videos. We have tons of whining incel dorks leaving comments like that, especially on our Alan Wake videos, so poking fun at that sort of thing is just a way for us blow off some steam rather than attempt to get into argument with every single commenter. A lot of our humor on the channel is crass and abrasive, but I’m sorry that we made you feel uncomfortable. While that isn’t our intent, we’ve had similar humor in our videos for the past six years and probably will continue to do so, but we can definitely be more mindful in letting people know when we’re being “sarcastic” so it isn’t left unclear.
@@HiddenMachineGamingjust want to add that I wasn't sure you were being sarcastic initially. I hear both of your comments and I appreciate the clarification.
It is okay if you didn’t find it funny. Nobody blames you for that as people have different sense of humor and we shouldn’t judge people being a bit different.
Or try to lighten up and stop being offended all the time. It's a joke. Relax Karen.
I'm just here for the cat! xD As always, fun discussion!
13:15 in the current year there is a cake is a lie poster. incredible
A true fan!
harewood s said in an interview before that he had play max payne 1 to 3 and control and that he put togheter quick that he was playng door, and even thathe geeked out a bit at seeing sam for the first time so that proffesional fan energy might be what remedy is after
That is so cool!
You both are very cute guys
We try
Was a mid dlc honestly, there’s control side missions that were longer than this. The main villains didn’t even seem all that bad until the final few moments, maybe I didn’t read 100% of the random notes around but they didn’t go very hard with these two. Dylan was more haunting and if you played the Alan wake awe expansion from Control, wow what a difference in storytelling honestly.
Fair! I really enjoyed it, but I also feel like Remedy had larger plans for both DLCs and were impacted by McCaffrey’s death. Cut content mined from the game suggests that was the case, and you can kinda pick up on that feeling while playing
@@HiddenMachineGamingseems likely and honestly game-dev seems to go on much longer than most tv shows and movies and we just had a major pandemic. I intend to play it again as it’s so short to play through and see what I did miss.
Seemed like 15 min of DLC talk an hour of: HEH-HEH-HEH!!!
Not that's bad--just jarring tone from only having seen scripted stuff lol
Sorry, we’ve got plenty more scripted stuff coming!
I like estevez because she actually seems to have fear in her voice.
Wow, great observation
She feels very 3 dimensional in her portrayal as she does carry herself with a disciplined readiness but actually reacts like someone who would still be struggling to maintain their composure in a situation as insane as the one she found herself in. Both the concentrated determination *and* the raw fear come through beautifully.
ngl i just watched the cat
We need a cat cam
what if nobody likes Darling because this the product of Darling being in the darkplace and being put at the begining of the loop
Hmmmmm
based
Name more iconic duo, i'll wait
Alice is the board
Hmmmm
49:54 Maybe I just got insanely lucky but I didn’t take a single point of damage throughout the entire dlc, when playing on the hardest difficulty
Damn!
