They weren't confident after how well Control did?
- Two words: Chekov's Buttplug
  You're missing out. It's a slow boil, but then it kicks into gear. Not to mention that everything else at the beginning makes sense and has callbacks. It's such a thrilling ride!
- It takes a solid 45 minutes before it even begins to get rolling, and by the end it's absolute pandemonium. It's wonderful.
- That movie is such a rollercoaster you owe it to yourself to finish. It’s just an accelerating spiral of weirdness.
  
  Idk after a certain point the weirdness just becomes an excuse for tricking the Academy into giving awards to a movie that delivered half of its emotional journey through exposition.
  And it worked, dammit, I DID want a refutation of nihilism told through anal dildo kung fu, it turns out.
- Here's what you do: watch act 1 sober, then when act 2 starts you pause the movie and take three big ass bong rips and press play.
  
  You understand the universe!
- Honestly, it's fine. If the humor doesn't click with you it could be a struggle.
  It didn't click with me, either. I think it's fine, but it's a weird one to have been the mainstream hit that it was.
- Big waste of oscars that one.
I did not like Alan Wake 1 and hated that movie. Alan Wake 2 is just a GPU benchmark to me.
- I did not like Alan Wake 1
  Then why did you bother with the sequel?
  
  I didn't, I just commented on this post.
- Doesn't really seem spoilery to me at all. Alan Wake - and Remedy in general - is very into surreal weirdness and world fuckery. He's mostly talking about audiences being receptive to pushing creative boundaries.
- how did the headline spoil anything
- I am genuinely confused as to how that’s a spoilery headline. Genuinely.
- Who spat in your everything bagel?
  
  Everyone did. Technically.
- Bit much
- Why are you clicking on threads about a game you don't want spoiled?
  
  The headline is visible from the feed without clicking any links. 🤷‍♂️
