Jesse and Max would definitely get along if the only things they said were their internal monologues.

LoL I just had a fit of giggles imagining Max doing an internal monologue and Jesse responding to it and Max realizing that all his internal noir monologues were actually just short-range telepathy the whole time

For some reason I thought you were both talking about Max the rabbit instead of Max Payne.

from releasing a game every ~2 years on average to having 6 games in development simultaneously, i hope they know what they're doing

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Maybe the co-developer is doing some heavy lifting there?

Edit: they should put Jessie in Multiversus

What does co develop mean

more specifically what does "co-develop with 505 games" mean when the last game 505 worked on directly was World Championship Spelling for the Nintendo DS, in 2010

It could mean that but I guess it could also mean 505 will be responsible for finding other studios to assist.

I think Control was a lot better than Alan Wake 2. Welp cya

Just been doing a replay to prepare to play AW2. Hadn’t done the foundation DLC before and it’s quite dull innit

I like AW2's story, graphics, and characters a lot but actually playing it wasn't very fun to be honest and I really recommend people just stick it on easy. I liked the vibes and gameplay of Control a lot more even if the DLCs weren't amazing.

control is better to me because everything about it is directly targeted at me, but as someone who went into it not liking the first game at all, alan wake 2 is definitely worth playing and made me go back and replay every remedy game from max payne 1 through aw2 ng+

Yeah AW2 still ended up being my 3rd favorite game last year even with my issues with the gameplay and I'll definitely be going back to check out NG+ at some point.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I like the kind of game Control is a lot more than Alan Wake 2 but playing AW2 should get you super megahyped to see what Remedy can do for Con2l.

Control is definitely a better game than AW2; AW2 is trying to be so many things Control isn't that the foundational "video game" part suffers

And yeah I can't wait to see what the latest Northlight engine can do to support the levels of player empowerment Control had

There's one moment of gameplay-story intersection in AW2 that's as cool as the Ashtray Maze, though with the opposite emotional valence.

I'm viable ladies.

Purely gameplay wise I dig Control way more, but imo the combat in AW2 is more a way to add to the atmosphere of the game than anything else. And fwiw, I enjoyed it, it was pretty satisfying killing the taken and the guns all sounded and felt good to use.

Yeah you aren't blowing away hordes of enemies like Jesse does, but the two games have vastly different power levels. Control and AW2 are both worth playing on their own merits!

Alan wake 2 combat was stressful, but that kind of fit the game. I liked it a lot. I need to go back and play control again.
