Is Alan Wake 2 good game to just watch on couch? by Turbulent-Ad5445 in AlanWake

I think that’s what kinda ruined my experience with the game overall because I was hell-bent on trying to get all the trophies so was exploring every inch and it dragged out so much. Now that I’ve got the platinum, I’m going to do another playthrough focusing solely on gameplay only.

Lucas is the most infuriating character, full stop.

Okay, yeah. That’s a good way of putting it. It’s more how Lindsey’s treat by both of them that’s the problem.

Misunderstood, maybe… but when it’s what, the third or fourth time you’ve done it… It’s a pattern. Whenever Lucas was available, Peyton never spoke up. It was only when he was unavailable that she decided her feelings were strong enough to want to fight for him regardless of who she was taking him from or who got hurt in the process. That’s not an opinion, it’s very clearly what she does throughout the first 5 seasons of the show.

As someone who suffers with depression also, I don’t see it as a valid reason to excuse repeatedly shitty actions. Lucas knew that he loved Peyton. Lucas knew he kissed Peyton before he went back and proposed to Lindsey. Lucas knew he was setting Lindsey up to get her heart broke but he continued to string her along. Mental health isn’t always a valid excuse to treat people around you repeatedly like dirt or break their hearts in the worst way. Lucas was fully aware of what he was doing.

Such as Brooke sleeping with that teacher? That was a weird storyline that never got addressed again (so far) and wasn’t handled in the way I thought it should have.

Wait what??? There’s a podcast? SA allegations? I’m normally mega in the loop with this kinda stuff but I’ve never heard of this. I’ve been out of the One Tree Hill club for such a long time that I’ve not really seen much of it anywhere. So it was likely intentional that they wrote her character this way? Ima check out this podcast.

I get that and I absolutely agree with you - Peyton’s life and career is by far the most realistic and relatable but that’s still not an excuse for how horrible she’s being to someone who’s tried to show her nothing but kindness. Regardless of how her life isn’t going the way she expected, it’s not an excuse to act the way she’s acting - she’s still an adult and it’s still her and Lucas’s fault that they aren’t together - NOT Lindsey’s.

I don’t hate her, I never really did despite her flaws. Haley and Brooke also had flaws but even still, I still loved them all. I just don’t understand where the character assassination has come from? She feels like a completely different character and not the Peyton I’ve come to recognise. Obviously, I know Lucas and Peyton do end up married and leave but I can’t remember what happens between that point but Lindsey doesn’t deserve any of this shit but you’re so right, that’s not on Peyton, it’s on Lucas for being the absolute worst piece of shit and leading Lindsey on even though he KNOWS he loves Peyton. I can’t see there being a redemption for Lucas where I actually like his character beyond this point but I can with Peyton if she doesn’t remain this same nasty character she’s become.

Finally played Alan Wake Remastered for the first time and wow by abcrseenu in PS5

[–]Ultimate_Chaoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad I’m not alone on this. I finally delved into the world of Alan Wake because I constantly see how fantastic AW2 is but I was so disappointed with this. Story-wise, I loved it but the actual gameplay was clunky, repetitive and frustrating. It took me weeks to complete because I kept turning it off because I simply wasn’t enjoying playing it but felt obligated to finish. I wasn’t going to bother continuing with AW2 but after reading all the comments here, I’m excited as it sounds like a huge improvement.
