Been playing Alan Wake 2 after getting it on PS Plus, and I really like it so far, despite the stupid mary sue black black blackity black chick.
On a lark I decided to load up Remedy's Quantum Break (Shawn Ashmore is also in AW2). Hadn't played it since release, and I forgot right at the beginning you can watch this concept trailer for "Return."

This is what Alan Wake 2 should have been. This is straight up the plot of the game, except the FBI chick is a blonde nordic Clarice Starling-wannabe instead. Way better. Can't believe they had the ideas for AW2 this fully formed a decade ago and decided to throw half the story in the trash for DEI points. Gay.
I hope the lost sales and selling your soul to Microsoft was worth it, Lake.
Mild shock.
You mean the game that had SBI involvement is woke?
We know for a fact that it was suppose to feature a blond woman instead of the black one and they changed it because DEI. Why would you play anything done by anti-white racists?
It’s a continued surprise to when I see these post. I can’t believe how woke this game that had woke marketing, woke developers, and woke trailers is! Like no shit dude why the fuck did you spend money/time on it?
Pretty sure the only reason they even make the game is to try and trigger people, which is probably why they make these posts when not enough people care that they're wasting their lives to pwn the chuds.
Yeah I missed the SBI involvement. Or forgot. I'm getting old.
It's super obvious when you play it too that Saga was written as white before being race swapped late in development. Her whole story revolves around the question of whether she is a resident of the town of Finnish immigrants or that's a false reality created by the dark presence. Except, she's a coal black ass negro. How are we supposed to consider she might actually be a native finnish person??? Just unreal how badly this mangles the plot. The atrociously bad acting is just insult to injury. She's the worst VA in the whole game, easily.
This is in contrast to those woke games where they're shit on purpose e.g. Dustborn--Remedy is not this bad normally. Not sure I've ever seen an artist sacrifice the soul of their work this horribly.
"we're no better than our viking ancestors" moment
I actually didnt have a problem with her being black.
My problem is she was obviously just dropped in as a replacement for the white person.
If they had some backstory about how one of her ancestors were a slave rescued by vikings, or something, i dont know. It woulda been alot easier to digest.
It was just strange to think the person was descended from vikings.
Brushing that aside, I thought the game was pretty damn good.

The nightsprings dlc song is pretty good too.

But I like "meta" storylines. Its not something that is for everyone. Control was the exact same way.
I agree, it's excellent. I think Shamus Young would have liked it a lot.
It was pretty clear that woman was meant to overshadow and reace Alan Wake.
epic exclusive, black race swap, and runs like shit.
Lol ill keep waiting for counter strike to come to epic while were at it.
I didn’t bother playing either when I found out about the black woman in 2. I just have no interest in games where I can’t escape reality.
My son loves those games. I've told friends at Universal to make a dance sequence haunted house for Halloween Horror nights.
