I've watched like 8 reaction vids to this and yours was finally the one where I felt like I was reliving it, some people just didn't appreciate the art that this was lol
i was thinking today about how it would be cool to co-write somethin with him together, alan wake 3 for examole haha. usualy i dont have such ridiculous ideas or dreams but after both alan games i just dont care anymore - i am thinking how cool it would be

The sheer joy on your face through this whole video was like reliving my first time playing through it. The most fun I’ve ever had in a game. And that song slaps so fuk’n hard! 🤯🎸🤘🍻
what i like most about this is Alan being like "okay. i'm in control. no more surprises" and the dark place being like "challenge accepted... MUSICAL TIME" lol
@@brianmckay9472I really hope they will not take another 10+ years to create a sequel and i hope theres gonna be one in the first place. i really hope this game gonna sell well enough for them to get the greenlight for the sequel but remedy usually still creates the sequel even if it doesnt sell just like alan wake 1st game SADLY didnt 😢 but if this sequel had the same curse to fail with sales then i wouldnt be so sure anymore..
@@roxydzey oh I think there will definitely be a sequel, and we will probably see morenof the Alan Wake story spill over into Control 2. Part of the reason it took so long for AW2 was because Microsoft held the rights for a while but now that Remedy has the rights back I think it will be full steam ahead on getting new games out every couple of years. I certainly hope anyway 🤞. Plus AW2 getting lots of good buzz, i think this will finally be their breakout hit
This game just keeps smashing through the ceiling. I agree, this was the best sequence Ive ever played in anything. So fucking creative!! It has everything: gaming, acting, poetry, singing, music, dancing.... so many art forms
What a BEAUTIFUL thing 13:31 ... 10/10 will introduce weapon again. I mean, no, really, *THIS* is now the standard of how new weapons are introduced, full stop.
The only bad thing I can say about the Flare Gun from an observer's perspective is that it'd be slightly cooler if the flares stayed lit on the ground for a couple seconds after impact instead of fizzling out in an explosion as soon as they land. Then again, I don't *have* the game to test it for myself, so for all I know that could be one of Alan's Word of Power upgrades, and if it is then I have no complaints about that beautiful little thing. bonus fun fact that I swear isn't mechanically relevant to the game: some flare guns can be loaded with shotgun shells in real life, but the one seen here is plastic - so realistically, you could fire ONE buckshot shell (the kind most commonly used in videogame shotguns) from it and then it'd be broken.
this whole sequence of the game was so fucking epic that i actually was so shocked that i somehow managed to faze out this part , i really forgot that ive got the flare gun at this point. i was just so shocked lol
Watching people play this the first time and seeing their reactions has become my go to uplifting activity :) This has got to be the best section in a videogame ever :)
I'm more of a stoic poker face kinda guy but your reaction is bascially how I felt inside. 24:05 Actually, a character from AW2 is also in Quantum Break. But that's pretty much it, and you might even not realize they're the same person.
Great musical! I feel, however, like I need to give a small addendum to the Quantum Break situation. It's... complicated. QB is currently a Microsoft property, so Remedy couldn't make it directly part of their universe. Still: Mr Door and Mr Hutch; Tim Breaker and the "time breaker" Jack Joyce; Jesse Faden and Beth Wilder. These 3 couple of characters are "played by the same actor" and both the Tim's sections in this game and Dylan Faden's speech in Control seem to suggest a connection. If Remedy manages to buy QB from Microsoft, the connections will definitely become canon and evolve. Even if they don't, I feel that having at the very least an understanding of Control will help :D
Yes! I couldn't really go into it too deeply on stream otherwise i may have diverted from playing the game lol, but there's a lot of little connections :D its the same sort of thing with Max Payne and Rockstar... hoping them doing a remake with 1 and 2 will enable them to get the IP back (i totally didnt realise the connection of Tim Breaker and time breaker tho, thats cool)
This has to be the very best moment in video game history when I got to play this level I was blown away and the music performance was freaking amazing
Tears in my eyes watching you play this level.....such joy! From one huge Wake fan to another, thank you....I'll come back to watch this when I need a little pick-me-up!
this game just like every other Remedy game - something out of our world, out of our dimension.. 20:03 and 25:16 the biggest, the most eerie and the strangest silence ive ever experienced.. after such fucking long and epic and lound show that silence which came after was painful and sad. but when i saw ahti who is my favorite character in control , i was back to happyness instantly and his appearance here after such an epic show was just a cherry on top of the cake. they really had to tone it down after such epic show smoothly, not to go to insta eerie silence like that so they chose the best character to do that smooth transition - not only because ahti is the best but he sings very nice too!
Poets of the Fall never dissapoint but Ilkka Villi and David Harewood bought a completly new level of camp to this partciluar collaboration track. Both with their singing and choreography. The vocals are legimatly good, whilst the dancing is so cringe it's ends up being good in the same way as rocky horror show.
your excitement got me teary eyed. This was an awesome moment, i only played this sequence yesterday for the 1st time and i am so glad i never got this section spoiled in any way. IT WAS AWESOME
I TOTALLY agree! This is THE GOAT! Game of the year? Aw, HELL no! More like game of the decade. And I had the same reaction to the musical part. I was in my feet jumping and giggling all the way through. This is no mere video game. This is EPIC!!
I'm not very interested in gaming, but as a Poets/Old Gods fan, I just want to know what all the fuss is about, and this is the third playthrough I watched :D - loved it!
wow played and finished the game but u are the best wtf so happy you are right poets need to be creditedfor 1 and 2and i have played vid games a long time but omg that made me say wtf
@@Frainyxo I thought only consoles had audio sync issues, you had some when Door was speaking on the TV and at the end where they were all dancing together. I finished the game on PC and did not have this issue
@@marianhurka5092 I think it has to do with how fast your ssd can process the information to not cause desync. I never had a problem and I have a fast ssd
@@Sadirixi have a really fast sasmung evo 980 pro 1tb with speeds above 3k which is one of the better ones and i still sometimes had this problem. i think think the main problem for me was the memory leak which im getting more and more on the more recent games but sometimes with the older ones too. there is another stability problem caused by the same ram memory leakage problem - after playing for 1 or 2 hours everytime it starts lagging. restarting the game works wonders , can play another 1-2 hours in peace, sometimes maybe even longer than that. so maybe desync with audio happens because of the same reason. people who experience these type of problems usually blames the video game devs of poor game optimizations and etc, but at this point after so many recent games ive played (some of them older ones lik from 2015 or similar) - im blaming nvidia. they really need to fix their drivers. oh and started to think that ill have to upgrade to 32 gb of ram cause it will help a little bit with those memory leak problems, instead of 1-2 hours of peaceful gaming ill get twice that then lol. because of these problems my windows system actually made the page file size to 13gb instead of the standard up to 4gb one.. which is because the games with the leakage drains the ram and then the ssd is being used as ram in a paging file way which is really bad and no ssd in the universe will help then - all ssd disks in our existence are not capable of speeds what rams are capable of , so when the system starts using paging file on ssd because there are no free ram memory left anymore because of the previously mentioned leakage problem - then all the crashing blue death screening lagging stuttering aaand desync stuff starts happening.
i'm confused, that was self indulgent, pretentious, motion sickness inducing and went on for way too long. What crack are people smoking to enjoy stupid shit like that?
@@FrainyxoI've never clapped playing a videogame, this was the first time, I noticed you did it too, and I've heard of several more people doing it as well, this game is special.

24:06 Fun fact: Quantum Break also is part of the same universe as Control and Alan Wake. Ahti's song "Sankarin Tango (aka Hero's Tango)" was about Alan Wake first part of the song ""Once, I mistook an ocean for a lake" he recited the poem" while the second part was about Quantum Break "Time shatters, a gunshot echoes into eternity" So Remedy added it to their universe without actually mentioning the game or any characters. That way Microsoft can't do anything about it while Remedy can make a sequel to it as soon as they get the rights for the game back. Sadly one cast member, Lance Reddick, who played the antagonist Martin Hatch died
I can't imagine how anyone could sit through this horrible cringe nonsense and fantastic. I can't imagine how anyone could play this horribly written and shoddily designed game and call it a masterpiece. Absolutely boggles my mind. It's like someone saying with a straight face that The Room is a cinematic masterpiece.
"How is he so good at singing"
Alan's Voice Actor, Matthew Porreta, is a classically trained singer who almost had a career in it but decided he liked acting more.
I didn't know that, that's so cool!
@@Frainyxo He also voiced and portrayed Casper Darling in Control, so it was him singing Dynamite at the end of the game
@@EvnyofdeathShe's got the whole town lighting up dynamite
Nobody quite knowing what to do, wrong or right
But they all know Jesse is dynamite
He sings as Dr Darling too lol. So goofy but so good.
@@Evnyofdeathloved that

idk what drugs Sam Lake took to write this game, but I'm pretty sure it was all of it
Been sippin’ that Anderson Farms Moonshine🫙
and i would like to try
some of those drugs too
like jesus christ😹🙈
If that's where drugs could take me to, I want some of it.
One of the few streamers who actually keeps the videos in frame and looks at the people singing instead of just not touching your controller, finally!
Seriously, when this happened I lost my mind. I love Remedy and I wish I could work with Sam Lake
i was thinking today about how it would be cool to co-write somethin with him together, alan wake 3 for examole haha. usualy i dont have such ridiculous ideas or dreams but after both alan games i just dont care anymore - i am thinking how cool it would be
It's so incredible to see that everyone thinking the music is over but there's even more
Lol, showed it to my wife and she goes “how many false endings does this thing have?” Me: “Not enough!”
FINALLY found someone who had the same reaction as I had. I was laughing, tearing up, screaming all the while ay through. Best fucking game ever
This game is my game of the year.
Same
Me fricken too
