Its another thing though that AW 1 had pretty average gameplay. Never heard complaints about theirs games having mediocre writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all of their past few games have had bad writing including Control, and QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in line with what you expect out of gaming. One thing I will say, if you don't like writing in Control, maybe you are missing out on subtle details. It's not in your face and simplified, something like in Uncharted or Call of Duty games. You need to pay a bit more attention than that.

Sach4life Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Just because something isn't straight forward doesn't make it good. Control's story is a convoluded pretensious mess. Gameplay is where it shines. Edited October 29, 2023 by Sach4life 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeda Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Sadly none of the new remedy games are as good as MaxPayne games in terms of story and characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Alan Wake Lore aswell as Gameplay were both great IMO. Just that ppl were hyping it to take on Uncharted which was foolish. It was Solid no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpearHea:D Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Remedy wrote one of the best character ever i.e. Max payne. First two games are still memorable because of their characters and writing. I still remember max's liners and many scenarios . That much impact it had and still rules. The baseball tv show, the clown world tv in second part. Its f**ckin brilliant stuff man. I agree after payne they usually dont tell their story straight forward but the stuff and work they put in their writing and extra stuff is amazing. The ingame tv shows, emails, documents, so much stuff to read in there. Alan wake's pages of manuscript were worth collecting and reading. So did Control and QB's extra stuff. Even the writing boards in every game has lots of stuff which helps with the story and ppl ususally miss it. Mediocre writing ? No way. Its actually the opposite their gameplay department needs improvement. Which i see in alan wake 2 is good so far. AW1 war arcade and action, this is survival horror. Control was fun to play too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup....thus I was saying, never heard complaints being their story as mediocre. It's quite opposite actually. Lots of bread crumbs. Quite cerebral experience... When I played Control, at the beginning I was lost and I can understand why many people might think that their stories are convoluted. They are not, it's that they are not told like straight forward games, you have learn from the stuffs that are scattered in the game worlds. Through tapes, pages and many other stuffs. And it all makes sense once you invest that time to find and learn them. There are memorable side bosses in Control which many gamers didnt even encounter. I personally think, Remedy is amazing in gameplay as well, and look at the portfolio, they don't even copy their gameplay from one game to another. All feels sooo different! QB being their weakest creation by popular opinion, yet that had really cool gameplay. Edited October 29, 2023 by SaiKO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearHea:D Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 QB was cool, very good time travel story and kickass gunfights. That was another game which pushed visual bar with amazing visuals. I liked that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss battles in Control were A grade. Optional ones you get after you have explored everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
