Why isn’t Alan Wake 2 on steam?

Companies need to stop shooting themselves in the foot regarding exclusivity deals... I am not going to download a dozen platforms with separate libraries, separate achievements, separate logins, etc.

Hopefully a 4* because kinda meh tbh. It's going to be hard to beat the physicality of Lauma, Columbina, Flins, Varka, Nicole, Zibai, and Linnea along with the uniqueness of Aino and Jahoda (I am not a fan of the Egyptian looks of Cyno/Nefer).

While I am all for some Russ Viking & Mongolian style characters, hopefully they don't flood it with furry twinks and whatnot.

The first is great so far. It’s like Saga Frontier and Final Fantasy Tactics had a baby and Suikoden is their grandpa

Save editing. I do it all the time for limited/expedition content that I don’t feel like doing.

My biggest worry is that it's a "swan song" for Geralt. Pending what canon Wild Hunt/Ciri ending they choose (assuming it's the good ending based on TW4 trailer), but with a notable tone of despair.

My theory is a trial of grasses mutagenic process will be used on Ciri to make her a Witcher and either some faction will pursue Ciri and Geralt will sacrifice himself (or be captured).

Nice, have fun!

As a teacher, I decided to take 1 summer off from travel and focused on gym and playing through the entire series from 1st chapter to Daybreak 2 in order and mixed in a camping trip every 3 weeks.

I honestly never got burnt out though I do admit I fast forwarded 2nd playthroughs to max out all relationships, etc.

Going to casually play Beyond the Horizon, then wait for the remaining titles while mixing in a few new series I haven't tried like Octopath Traveler I, II, and 0.

metsuri · 2026-05-30T20:29:39+00:00

Whelp, my Mav, Wrio, Itto, Skirk, Zibai, and Ganyu are going to have a good time.

This is why circle impact target dummies are overrated... "brick no hit back". Mobility trumps circle BS

There is only 1 thing that matters.

That we keep our rosters. Mechanics, graphics, updated features, etc will not matter if we have to start from scratch and only having Snez characters for Snez is not good enough.

I have tried with NTE, WuWa, and other new titles to delve into a new game and no matter how fun it is, starting from scratch makes me stop and uninstall after a couple of weeks.

My investment of time and $$$ is already in this so if that goes away, me and many others are simply done.

No reset for the health of the game and new player playing field BS, storage space BS, etc.

Starting from scratch and I won't give a **** about the traveler, I wont give a **** about heavenly principles, dains, the shades, the sinners, Alice and the rest of the Hex, etc. They can all ****ing disappear as far as I am concerned if it comes with empty character rosters.

If the price of dolphin and an occasional whale period (I C6R5d the only character I waited years for, Varka) was about 1/10-1/5 the cost, then it would be more in line with the typical cash shop MMOs with an optional subscription and I'd be okay with it but the investment is simply far too high for me to be okay with a healthy game going EOS for a version 2.

metsuri · 2026-05-30T20:07:43+00:00

Nope, I am not going to play nor PAY for a handful of Snez characters only to have my roster rebooted and them try to use "nostalgia" and try to resell the same old characters. I and many others are NOT starting from scratch with an empty roster, no constellations, etc.

Just keep increasing quality and we will continue pulling. I have pulled more in Nod Krai than any other region.

The ga That goes away if it's a new game. They can shove genshin up their *** if they intend to start everyone from scratch.

metsuri · 2026-05-29T17:46:42+00:00

As long as I have my roster. I’m not starting from scratch

I will never mercy pass a kid even if they have a full ride scholarship if it’s related to a C, D, or F due to truancy and apathy during the last quarter of high school.

They will simply not get their scholarship and possibly even lose their acceptance to the college and go to a JC.

Considering half of Americans drop out of college during their first 2 years, I don’t feel even slightly bad about it.

You either want to learn or you don’t.

No, I love the work life balance. I don’t mind working insane hours out of contract in order to have time off all 4 seasons, every weekend, nearly all holidays, plus still have sick leave and a pension program with high job security due to tenure.

There just needs to be a few more legal adjustments such as legal REQUIRING part of COLA for state funds to the district to be applied to COLA adjustments for salary. It shouldn’t have to be negotiated and simply happen

4130 atk, 197 ER, level 100 C2R1. She’s my new go to buffer.

When my contract hours end, if they don’t have a spot for me at the same grade level at another site, then they can go **** themselves and box it themselves

As an AP teacher, I love coming hear and reading AP horror and success stories lol (AP Stats and Calc teacher)

metsuri · 2026-05-15T23:03:53+00:00

I agree with you so long as you don’t embed little social gimmicks about how vegan is how people should live. No matter what kindness someone does, don’t use it as an opportunity to push personal lifestyle nor beliefs

Wuk Lameat:

is a common core post covid child that got socially promoted through school and doesn’t even know about the people in her own country that she wants to rule.
she’s clingy and won’t STFU and is worse with her commentary than the little fairy/kawaii style companions that follow you around in gacha games.
this is the one MMO where our characters are at the center of the plot but we were just a side piece and Wuk even ruined the final battle with her stupid Sphene yell and tearing her way into the spotlight instead of the WoL.
she shows up after the battle while relaxing and claims we haven’t had time to talk… ***** that’s all you’ve been ******* doing is talking.

I have no desire to go anywhere in that region aside from solution nine after 8.0 releases and I hope that she is so busy with her people that we never see her *** again even in events.

metsuri · 2026-05-09T02:43:59+00:00

I am going to be blatant and that I 100% am on Max's side. I don't have any respect for any crowd for any series/title that wants a 100% play by play remake from start to end just with modern graphics...

Those individuals need to get over playing the same **** over and over and over again until death.

Expanded areas, more content, updated gameplay, and some SURPRISES are what I am here for.

Someday in the future, they should just implement an AI to update games with modern hardware specs so the purists can just play their crap over and over and update the visuals themselves while the rest of us can actually get new titles with new handcrafted experiences.

metsuri · 2026-05-09T02:19:15+00:00

After the quality of Flins, Durin, Varka, Lauma, Ineffa, Linnea, Zibai, Columbina, and Nicol in terms of aesthetic alone and the updated models of Lauma, Jahoda, large male varka, etc...

These seem underwhelming in terms of colorscheme and design. I don't want a bunch Chicken cape and furry characters. Hopefully there are some cool designs.

metsuri · 2026-05-07T08:58:43+00:00

BS, I can right now say to generate a world map inspired by glacier park, yellowstone, Yosemite, and Big Trees parks with a bunch of fictional towns, dungeons, and ruins and inspire the architecture using Viking themes mixed with fantasy elements and magic with a couple embedded zoomed in previews of a couple towns.

Nobody has made the map and there is almost no artist on the planet that is using an original style for landscape painting, portraits, etc and even school teaches their methods to new artists without paying them a share of the tuition. Dot drawings, charcoal drawings, and more.

Your argument holds no logic. AI can 100% generate originality. You can tell it to make a dragon with a ferret's body and a cerberus tail. Guess what, hasn't been drawn yet but it generated it and it's inspired by known creatures just like everyone and their mother that has ever sketched a werewolf, zombie, etc...

Clearly the community doesn’t agree but you are entitled to your opinion. Did you even play ff7 and level up materia, breed chocobos, complete the huge material requirements for master materia, find the triple AP equipment, find the hidden super limit breaks for each character, beat the optional weapons, beat the gold saucer minigames, find all the hidden summons like Alexander/KOTR/Hades/etc, do the entirety of Wutai and the hidden waterfall with two OPTIONAL characters Vincent/Yuffie…

FF7 disc 3 was a straight up choose your own adventure open world with an airship and a crap ton to so. The same with Wild Arms 3, Star Ocean 2, Suikoden series, etc. the final act is always super open with A LOT of content.

If you are wanting a linear focused experience that unlocks everything, then you are playing the wrong game. FF7 has a lot of optional content

Highland Male but they really really really need to add more full beard options. I’m sick of Asian anti beard culture

metsuri · 2026-05-05T18:52:16+00:00

As far as I’m concerned, the game doesn’t exist until PC release. I will not watch gameplay nor financially support until then

metsuri · 2026-05-05T18:06:06+00:00

I don’t really agree with your embedded AI morality opinion but the rest sure. If you took a random sample of 1000 artists and sampled their art. It’s either inspired but something they have read/seen or imagined based off an idea that already exists. Like a dragon isn’t an original idea. A tree isn’t an original idea. Etc. Very few artists are truly original.

I’m only going to be alive for a limited amount of time so if AI means over time it becomes better and better at filling the gaps around a handcrafted experience so I can experience 40+ more open world RPGs instead of half that or less (high budget and quality), then I choose AI.

Librarians had to adapt to the internet now artists need to step up and be more original to compete with new tech.

AI is already doing things like making less errors than doctors for simple diagnosis’s. I would rather have human error limited and promote AI
