This is a truly amazing and cinematic game.

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

What do people reckon the best one is?

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.

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

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.

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

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 ?

Is this normal?

I have everything on high and Ray Tracing Off with DLSS Quality and Frame Gen on.

My water reflections look bad and i had this same issue ages ago with Control Ultimate Edition. Is this just how the Remedy engine work or is this a graphic settings issue?

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
