So true lol I found the combat pretty lame in the sequel tbh. Loved the presentation and survival horror style of the game but yeah, the first game was a lot more fast paced. There was a nice balance between dodging, shining the flashlight and tapping the revolver’s trigger as fast as possible as soon as the darkness shield went down. Extremely satisfying Shining the flashlight in 2 felt like such a pain despite it being faster and automatically latch on to the enemies.

Yes, he did. The shine meter was already hit. If the enemy wasn't lit, you'd still see the circle of light enclosing. I'm pretty sure he's just playing on nightmare mode in the first clip.
@Gamingproductionv2 I vastly preferred the combat of Alan Wake 1 over 2. And its not nostalgia speaking. I literally replayed AW1 and American Nightmare the week before 2 came out 2 was a massive disappointment to me
AW1 slander is crazy The first game’s combat is so good The system creates the perfect stressful enemy encounters without ever feeling unfair Sometimes you encounter a couple of enemies and defeat em both with one round of revolver shots, while another time you might use one too many batteries or drain all your shotgun ammo and have to weave around a horde of enemies while mashing the hell out of the reload button Or don’t even get me started on that section where you lose your gun and have to rely on the other guy to take out waves of enemies while your fighting for your life on this tiny little overhang AW2 was fantastic, but I personally liked the combat in AW1 more
Or how they don't give you enough ammo and you end up forced to walk backwards the whole rest of the way up to the next checkpoint because the enemies in AW1 are faster and you can't see them attack from behind. Don't praise the combat too much I played this a week before AW2 came out for the first time ever and I absolutely hated every second of it.
@rocketpajamas5313 Either way had more fun playing AW2 than AW1. And also that's the worst excuse for not liking a game. You just need to get better and then you can start having fun. If I'm not having fun NOW then why would I want to get better

Dude I watch John wick 4 while 12 hours into the game, and while watching John Wick 4 I thought “Alan Wake 2s gameplay works oddly well for a John Wick style game…” Like the jogging “run” the gunplay the dodging. It just works!!
Alan Wake 1 is an excellent game, so why do people make these videos? Not every developer is making CoD and saying "screw the old games kids, new and improved aim system with gun power plus 420 is ALL YOU NEED." I'd suggest playing the first one as it gives you a good background on Wake's character and motivations.
Love that they use the look of the enemies from control seeing as they’re set in the same universe, i never got around to finishing that game, so many things to do in it but damn is it good
You've never played re or aw2 they are completely different RE healing menu/system straight up changes the entirety of the game not to mention the mechanics of your flashlight are nothing similar to RE
Great game but I can't get the hang of the dodge at all... and I'm in initiation 7 right now and I feel like I haven't found any words of power in hours
I feel like the words of power were too easy imo compared to how often you get upgrades for Saga. Would recommend a guide, there is quite a lot of them. That said, at least on normal, the upgrades aren’t too necessary unless you are using a crossbow.
Id say try and dodge a bit later than you think you should. That was the problem for me, that I was always dodging too early, and get hit after. And I don’t think you can dodge through projectiles like thrown axes, you gotta dodge to the side out of the way.
I thought the combat was a lot more fun in the first one actually and I didn't care for the enemies variety on the Alan wake sections of the second game
Чувак явно не играл в первую часть. Так то в первой части тоже есть большой арсенал оружия против нечисти. Неловкая музыка испортит любое видео что он и сделал
choose a fair comparison, you chose a 1v1 with a basic enemy in an open area vs multiple enemies in a room filled with obstacles to constrict movement, honestly i feel like 1 had more of the actually difficult sequences than 2 did
I miss the fact that in the first game you didn't need to focus your flashlight to take out the darkness, it took longer but you could totally save some batteries albeit with the risk of getting swarmed.
The biggest little change between Alan wake 1 and 2.... Is that Alan got in shape, when he first got to Bright falls he could only keep up a rapid jog for like 2 seconds and look at him now , Im sure he could finish a lap going all the way around cauldron lake. Yeah the Taken have gotten a lot more menacing, but my guy has truly evolved as well.
The fact Alan is a writer and in canon admits to having never shot a gun outside a firing range gives a lot of accidental depth to the lackluster combat of the first game. Him going John Wick on The Taken in the Dark Place in the sequel makes soooo much sense canon wise. After such a long time fighting them he had to learn how to fight and survive using as many tools at his disposal as he could
