@@awfulbalistick0228 Alan Wake 2, despite being nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards, did not make it to the top 150 games with the most active users in October 2023. That's when it was released. Most games go hard in the first week or two and fall off as people complete them. It's a niche game and definitely didn't win by user votes, but by internal panel they mentioned during the show.

Sam Lake. Dude's an OG since Max Payne. He loves making video games. An example of a good game director. For the game budget, Alan Wake 2 took around 75 million dollars while most other big games cost over 100 or even 200 million like TLOU2. Remedy isn't even a first party studio and they took three awards this year. They deserved it. Big congratulations 🔥🔦👏

@@LetYahArisee: "Great story but very boring" Dude comes to say this with straight face literally after Alan Wake 2 has just won Best Narrative & Best Game Direction & Best Art Direction awards, that is, the game has been recognized to have the best & the most innovative storytelling and game design of 2023 by the global game industry. I wish I had your self-esteem. For me, in horror games, the story > the action. I'm glad one of the biggest issues of Alan Wake part 1 was fixed in part 2: too much action. Action also effectively breaks the mood of psychological horror. You are not agonized when shooting around. The less is more. Also, Remedy intentionally chose survival horror instead of horror/action due to its slower pace, to be able to do their storytelling the way they wanted. However, Control is not horror but scifi/action and can not wait for part 2 (Alan Wake 2 DLC will probably be setting up Control 2 like Control AWE DLC set up Alan Wake 2). At least I doubt they'll switch to survival scifi. Too much survival or too much action is boring.

I very much like Alan Wake 2, but honestly I would have given this award to either TotK or Super Mario Wonder. The first with the way it reinvented itself and the genre with mechanics like the ultrahand and fuse alongside the fact they allowed a delay of a whole year just to polish the game. The second with the way they handled the direction, with no deadlines and a collective work among veterans and newcomers.
