    Why would you promote this aspect of your lead? Surely you'd want people to identify with your character, or at least root for him?

    with all these alan wake updates - im a bit surprised about the score it got.. obviously they didnt spend money on advertising.

    It was a pretty decent game actually, and largely bug-free, so decent scores were not much of a surprise.

    But I like the direction they're taking it in. Making it episodic, with an extending storyline that just continues, should be good in this context. Whether it works commercially is another question, episodic games don't have a great track record in terms of sales. It's a problem with marketing, i think.

    Unfortunately videogames are a very new, very immature medium, and so unsympathetic protagonists are seen as a mistake or an "bad design", when they have existed happily in other forms of narrative storytelling for millennia.

    Did no one else find that very, very funny?! I was in tears watching that. You guys really are a bunch of humourless bastards.
