I pray we don't qualify to Europa League. Just give us 4th so we can focus on the league and don't have to watch more of this shite.
I understand where you're coming from 100%, and I agree with you somewhat. While I personally enjoyed the gameplay in Alan Wake (nothing like landing a perfect headshot for a 1 hit kill with the rifle), I understand why some will be turned off by it.
On the other hand, I think of Control. Very solid gameplay and mechanics, but the story in my opinion was lackluster, and I think it might be because they were scared to go all out on a mind bending storyline. They wanted to sell games, and you sell them with good shooter mechanics to cast a wide net over the audience, at the expense of creative identity.
I feel like for Alan Wake 2 they went all out to make sure they follow Sam Lakes and the team's creative direction. And that's why I love it. You can feel the work that went into this to make sure it's exactly what they wanted to create, instead of what they needed to.
Alan Wake 2. What a masterpiece, especially THAT sequence. I absolutely loved this game.
The older I get, the more I start to appreciate studios that take risks and believe in their creative identity. Games like Death Stranding and Alan Wake 2 are perfect examples. They're not everyone's cup of tea, but that's what art is. Someone might hate something that you personally find breathtaking. And vice versa.
I'm also playing Spiderman 2 at the moment, and while it's good and it's very fun, I will not remember this game 1 day after I finish it. Death stranding I finished 3 months ago and I still think about it. I'm extremely excited for DS2 and hopefully Alan Wake 3.
What a fucking joke. We've been shafted by referees all year long. ten Hag needs to stop being a pussy and call them out for fucks sake.
Wait am I in the wrong match, or did we just score a well worked goal? Or am I dreaming?
I remember our fans singing 'You're not fit to wear the shirt' in Ole's last game. I wish they'd start singing it again...
