Mega Mana 11/28/19 9:08:55 AM #491:	3. Beat a game released between 2000-2009 Tomb Raider: Legend 28. Beat a game with the supernatural as a central theme Alan Wake - Both were solid games with somewhat similar gameplay. Both are decently linear slow burn exploration games with good stories. Both have lots of collectibles just off the beaten path, and both have annoying unexpected checkpoints that prevents going back to explore by accidentally going through the right door to advance the plot. Both have ~~something from their childhood mentioned offhand in the first episode that ends up being the key to sealing the big supernatural threat at the end~~. I've been recommended Alan Wake for years, and I'm glad my computer finally decided to run it. I'll probably try and collect all the pages in Nightmare Mode for next year's challenge, but I've said that about a lot of games so far I forget about a day or two later (Heartbeat, Dragon Age: Origins, 428 Shibuya Scramble). It had a decent story, and some good characters (and some terrible ones... like Nightingale), but there were a lot of frustrating bugs and glitches, repetitive combat, and exploration with endlessly respawning shadows where there weren't any collectibles in the end was discouraging. At least it told you that pages were locked until a new game after completion, and the constant loss of all your supplies kept hoarding down. Tomb Raider Legend I beat about two weeks ago, so it's alot less fresh, but I definitely had a better time with it than Alan Wake. Platforming and puzzles were excellent, and collectibles actually had unlocks for gameplay and gallery items. Why am I collecting coffee canisters in Alan Wake? Why pages? There are no alternate endings, collecting 100 cups of coffee is nothing but an achievement (instead of like an extra bar of health for every 25 or 50; Alan Wake is a terrible writer for giving himself a bunch of things to collect and them not having any impact at all aside from achievement hunting). Edit: Also, ** Rhythm Games, XD --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD <cite>Mega Mana posted [p:930818820] in The Great ...
