I mean it doesn’t make sense. Imagine a real life person just listening or reading to a bunch of word salad and then immediatly lose all free will and get stuck on whatever last thought or characteristics they have but cranked up to 11 while going back to the world salad all the time. It really breaks my suspension of disbelief.
the only annoying enemies in the series are the fast taken (both games), wolves and divers (2 only)
I loved the wolves, holy shit they scared the fuck outta me my first playthrough.
the annoying enemies are the taken, all of them, the birds, all of them, the floating spooky trash, all of it
Watching my gf walk through the woods and having SPOOKY SOUND + FIGHT every 5 feet like it’s a pokemon random battle was a nightmare idk how she had fun with this game
Playing Alan Wake 1 is a lot better than watching it because the combat is much more Max Payne than Alan Wake 2 honestly. The combat picks up with Chapter 3 and then keeps getting better as resource management becomes less and less of a problem
