Today's game is Alan Wake II. I got the FSR 3 mod running, bringing my frames up to a far more stable 30 fps outside. There's some noticeable ghosting rarely but besides that it works great.

I took this screenshot while doing Alan's story on my way to the theater. I love the poster because i love how it's the opening of the First Game's dialog. The whole game has so many cool poster and signs in the dark place.

I completed what i assume is the first part of Alan's Story, and it automatically took me back to Saga's. I decided to continue her part since it seems like that's where the game wants me to go.

While continuing her story i took a portrait of Alan and Casey i thought came out well:

I missed that you've started on Alan Wake 2 now, but I'm glad you've got it running somewhat acceptably! It's a very demanding game, when I first played it I didn't have my new PC so I'm intimately familiar with struggling to be able to run it.

I'm glad you spotted the signs, I love the work on all the signs and graffiti in the dark place.

How are you liking the game so far?

Loving it. I played a little bit on launch but put it on the shelf due to the performance (hoping updates would help) and I felt a little iffy on it due to how Alan was portrayed and the far more survival horror like gameplay. But since picking it up again it’s grown on me. I think if put against the First One/American Nightmare I don’t think I could pick a favorite. I love both for different reasons

It's become one of my favourite games of all time, I think it's a masterpiece. I love the Remedy connected universe, and as someone who played and loved Max Payne back in the day I got a huge nostalgia kick from the cameos in AW2. When you first see Casey in the Max Payne 1 outfit I squealed.

I also think Alice's actress is absolutely killing it and am surprised she didn't get more recognition.

up until recently Alan Wake was the only Remedy game i played. I picked up control and loved it and then recently played through Max Payne. I think it's evolved from Alan Wake being my favorite game too Remedy being my favorite game studio. It makes me excited seeing how all these things connect together.

What if you forgot a day, and just posted another one the next day without realizing?
