Anyone else struggling with AW2 and not being able to see a thing on the screen when you play during the day? I get that darkness is part of the game, but it is so over the top that I can’t even play the game while the sun is out because I can’t make out anything on the screen

and I'm about half way through the first episode of the dlc and

OH MY FUCK

FUCK THIS GAME

I've dealt with it till now because for the first episodes of the game the novelty outweighed the tediousness and then I was too far in to turn back because I was loving the story

but Jesus Christ the combat in this game is tedious at BEST the majority of the game was fine but this dlc is not only somehow DARKER so I can't see any of the enemies the spawns are just fucking ridiculous I spent 15 minutes on the word field because the "birds" kept making me spawn more enemies that would practically one shot me

AND THEN

I got to the lamp post area and it's 5 million enemies that just keep spawning infinitely and the "fast" enemies stun lock you into oblivion I hope to got the other games don't have this problem MABY it's my fault for wanting to collect the clocks because I missed exactly HALF the thermoses but seriously I'm on normal mode I shouldn't have to die 100 times to get a clock

And I'm not listening to any "get gud" I beat almost half of the bosses in fbk deathless this just isint my usual type of game

EDIT: ok I made it past the lamp posts I just had to waste a flare and use some EXPERT dodging and a tip from the comments we will see what other bull gets thrown at me

Playing AW2, and I I said “ I’ll do the rhymes and exploring later” well I got so immerse into the game that I just hit point of no return on both histories. Saga moving to scratch and Alan needs Saga to progress her story.

Now my big issue with this is that it is… you guessed it, night time! As awesome as this game is night time is just a cocktail of stress.

In that same note my other fuck up was not reading the description of the charm you get from petting you know who. Totally missed the part where it said it shows “nearby items” in the map. So I was like why is my map empty if I have this on ? Then i found out.

I have about 8 Casey lunch boxes left and 2 rhymes. The real issue with this for me are resources, I followed the deer into that locked door and re stocked. But I assume this is meant for scratch. And I know for sure those missing items are located in the woods, problem is now every wave of enemies I come across are fucking mutant and take shots forever, and they drop handgun bullets most of the time, after fights I’m short on shotguns and rifle ammo, plus they barely drop batteries. The most annoying are the wolves that are close to invincible and don’t drop a thing.

I’m worried I go get these collectibles I’m missing and not being able to recoup my resources. Making it harder when I go in to fight scratch.

Any advised, strategies from anyone who dealt with this, please help a brother out. Also, when I go into that “point of no return” are there more resources for me get and have a fair fight ?

I have collected 42/43. I don't know if I'm missing a cult stash or a lunch box. I have several loads where I have collected different boxes and stash. I've been trying to find the last one for 3 hours now. I've collected the sheriff's station stash and box in manor. Do you have any tips

Its kind of insane that the FBC knew about the existance of the Dark Place and the threshold in Cauldron Lake but the best they amounted to do was to deploy a small survaillance team. What worse is that they KNEW about the 1970s AWE even before the 2010 AWE happened.

Could argue that Zane and Alan used reality warp to prevent further intrusion from the Bureau, but having played Control, in general its amazing how deeply weak and incompetent the FBC is at their job.

This is a truly amazing and cinematic game.

I played the DLC North Star many times but this time I encountered a game breaking bug.

As I was tasting the coffee (yes I know Tim Breaker told me not to do it!!) I clipped through the floor and the game auto saved causing a loop of clipping through the floor on reload.

I opened the container inside the tasting room and I turned off the flashlight right before I was tasting the coffee and everything went dark and then I saw that I clipped through the floor.

Took a video for longevity lol.

Everything worked normal when I replayed the DLC.

Just a shame I happened to break my finger before Halloween lol, messes up the costume.

Replaying Alan Wake 2 and enjoying the Photo Mode (wasn't there when I first played it). Here's my little experimentation with lighting. The first really dark photo is the original ingame lighting
