Alan Wake 3: Alan Sleep

No, it will be Alan Wake III: Alan Wakest

Glad to be the one to perpetuate this

Mood. Literal mood

I relate so much 😭

ur sooo me

To it's ports we've been, to it's ports we've been...

And I don't ever wanna leave

My man is not in the loop, he's in the spiral...😮

Also great video and you’re a fan of DnD? You got a new subscriber

@bad_spike DnD is my biggest hobby atm, besides making these videos 😅

Man, i learned the lyrics of "Herald of Darkness", now i keep singing it in the shower

As a Belgian, I get you. I cut out a bit where I talk about BG3’s effect on my national pride (larian being a Dutch Belgian studio) and that game had nothing to do with Belgium, so I can’t imagine what AW2 must be like for you. Your culture is awesome!

The final draft's ending is a lot more happy, but I feel it's very justified as Alan has been trying to break out of the "horror" genre for over a decade now

@@mutskun yee, its perfect as the draft that escapes the horror story.

It is also very meta because the ending must be deserved. Thus it was only released after the audience - us - accepted the game's story!

Well then I guess it's pretty applicable to Alan Wake 2, thanks for the info.

Yeah I thought it was but I looked it up and couldn’t find anything. Thx for the correction haha.

This means the world, thank you!

Thank you very much

Next script is as good as done, more is coming

also Quantum Break is basically canon lol, the only thing stopping them is the license but with characters like Door and Tim being so obviously echoes of Hatch and Jack they make it pretty obvious

Thanks

🫡

Thanks!

For sure for sure, but you’re never going to hear the words “max payne” in the RCU, so I didn’t count it. Also, having the character “Tim Breaker” be played by the same guy as the mc of Quantum Break is a big reference. It’s just that though, references to the previous games while trying to imply to the audience that certain characters are supposed to be the same character types as those from QB and MP. Will prlly bring that up if I ever do a Control 2 video

Next video’s as good as done. Let’s keep this rolling

@@mutskun the interludes being manuscript pages you found, written by you, is such a great touch. 🤣 Top quality work sir.

Thanks for watching and liking it! The "2023 has been excellent for games" bit, I meant from the perspective of releases. I am very well aware that 2023 and also the beginning of 2024 already have seen a massive amount of layoffs which sucks. We got good games but, if you'd offered me the good games or people keeping their jobs, I know what I would have picked haha

I didn't remember you saying "2023 has been excellet for games" at all. It was just kidn of brought up by my brain doing adhd ping pong thinking. I got the vibe that that was what you meant though in what you did say. You don't need to clarify anything. @@mutskun

@@mutskunI’m rewatching your video and it turns out my brain wasn’t doing its normal adhd brain ping pong. Sorry. The videos still great. I need to do better at paying attention while watching videos, clearly…

@nzgberg no worries, thank you for watching 😅

Perkele!

sugoi

Very true, my script said “Scarlet And Violet DLC” but my brain must have looked over that

@@mutskun ala wnake

All hail 🙏

Totally valid, I also really like control. Might make a separate video about it once the sequel is out.

As someone who went to a pretty prestigious game development school for a couple of years, this topic is still very much discussed and there were several students there who disagreed with games being art. If you hear someone make an argument against games being art, you should take them seriously and either accept their opinion or try and debate it (in a friendly way) I did my research for this video, and there are definitely still people who don’t see games as art (at least the big AAA titles)

I agree that there are still tons of people that feel that way, but there are also still millions of people who get angry at Duchamp's 'Fountain' and point to it as an example of the degradation of "art" in the modern era, both completely missing the point, and trying to use it as a bludgeon against their subjective disinterest in certain themes, topics, or mediums being explored. What art is to any given person is subjective, and arguing for or against that doesn't go anywhere. Exploring a topic, and expanding upon what it means to you is a great way of potentially bringing people around to your way of thinking, which is exactly what you did in this video. I don't think you're wrong in your approach, but you do cheapen it by pointing to a pretty tired and meaningless argument that people only frame in the way of "are games art" as a bad-faith way of bringing up drawing comparisons to what they do consider "art". I hope that makes sense, I don't disagree with your video, or your argument, I just think the title reduces it to less than what it is.@@mutskun

also "as someone who went to a pretty prestigious game development school" doesn't really mean much to random people on the internet, it just makes you sound like an ass.@@mutskun

🤷‍♂️

Maybe because it has significant impact on their lives and affects the way they behave. If a person always seemed sad or empty, would it be such a problem for them to tell you they have depression, since that is an explanation to their behaviour. Don't get me wrong, I know there are people on the Internet who fake illnesses, especially mental and neurodevelopmental illnesses. And believe me, as someone who is diagnosed with depression and ADHD, those people are absolutely infuriating. But I used to be a person with undiagnosed adhd and depression, and I knew I had both, and low and behold, I do. Yes, absolutely, there are people who fake illnesses for clout or whatever reason. But if we constantly use them as an example, we stigmatise the people who actually need help, especially the undiagnosed, who are they discouraged and don't seek help for the problems they have.
