My only fear is that Bricky plays Max Payne. I like hearing the character’s narration (even if it is redundant), and even like the voice acting. But boy if he thinks it’s dumb then any Remedy game is gonna seem super goofy. And I’d hate to see one of my favorite series get trashed on by a personality I enjoy
I don't think there's been a single big Remedy game that hasn't had even a bit of internal narration. Max Payne because he says cool stuff and his voice was awesome (RIP James), Alan Wake because he's an angsty writer who just happens to get the opportunity to write reality too (His VA got SOOO much better in AW2 - I don't hate AW1s narration, but it definitely had its weak spots), and Control where the internal narration is legit a plot point lol I can't say much for Quantum Break but I am sure there was a form of internal narration there too lol
Bricky really isn’t the guy to watch play through your favorite games. He’s surprisingly not complex and takes him a while to figure out some simple things anyone else would’ve got.
Looking back, Alan Wake had a lot of corny dialogue but it's also what makes it funny sometimes. The MC is literally narrating his own fanfiction about how awesome and awkward he was. If Stephen King were to make his own movie starring himself as the main character and the narrator, I'd immediately buy that movie for the cheese.
While I've never really enjoyed the gameplay in AW1 I always found the story fantastic. I'm looking forwards to the future parts and games on this channel.
The best part is that agent Nightingale was absolutely right to shoot Alan on sight. Not sure, how he found out about the magic before reading the pages, but chances are killing Alan would avoid A LOT of bad shit happening.
There is a theory that says that Nightingale was the original main protagonist of "Departure", but Alan discarded him. Nightingale is literally a scrap that The Darkness took as a way to capture Alan. It also explains the blind hatred towards the writer.
@@hobobox Watching the vids he understands it eventually, I just don’t think it’s his thing. It’s not for everyone but damn it hurts to see someone shit on a performance that I enjoy
I love how everyone new to the game complains about Alan's narration at first, but over time it grows on you. When's Control and AW2, Bricky? I've been edging for many days!
This game's story is fantastic. But its gameplay is somehow worse than ps2 shadow of the colossus' control scheme. I made it about half way before I said fuck it and watched a lore video
If you wont play the American nightmare dlc you should at least watch some of its ingame tapes because they are just amazing and probably pretty important for the sequel.
Hope this gets a part 2 and maybe even a full vid on the main channel. I absolutely love this game, even went and 100% it right before Alan Wake 2 came out. I will say, a little harsh on the criticism (besides the port being crap. It's better on Xbox). I actually really like Alan's VA and the combat is serviceable for a survival horror game. Here's a hot take, I prefer Alan Wake 1 over 2, mostly because there's less Alan in 2 and don't really care about Saga.
Can someone explain what is bad in voice acting of Alan Wake? Im not native speaker and it is the first time someone mentioned it, i really liked voice acting myself, so im just interested.
It depends on who you ask. As a native speaker, I don't think it is awful, he's just very moody and that can come off as sounding weird. I also think the voice actor for Alan (Matthew Poretta) got 100x better in the sequel, that it definitely sounds weird now knowing how much better he has gotten. I'd say its not bad, but it had its weak points for sure. The weird faces from the Remastered version of the game also don't help lol
Alan is being attacked by a demon ghost with a god talking to him and his "no" has absolutely no emotion in it at all. No screams, no heavy breathing, no confusion, nothing. hes practically a robot. I think thats the intention though as it is supposed to be him narrating a story.
People just don’t like it because it isn’t want they want or think would fit. I like it in both 1 and 2 because it’s the same in 1 and 2. They can’t suspend some disbelief it just has to be horrible dialogue because it’s that not because I don’t like it.
With Alan Wake, it is more of a direction problem that Matthew Porrettas voice acting. Alan is meant to be a asshole and moody, so there inst much range he can work with.
He was a writer... so narrating it like he was did fine which is why it was given good praise lol... I guess English class wasn't the strong suit here but it's ok some ppl are ignorant no offense. And non narroting scenes had great acting which u couldn't decipher between .. somehow ...
Its completely different. Max Payne is mostly about gameplay while Alan Wake is a story driven game. Alan wake, Control and Alan Wake 2 all are connected to each other and happen in the same world. Quantum Break had a teaser for Alan Wake 2 plot in the beginning of the game where it was presented as a tv show.
Very subjective. I think both of the games have an overlap of people who like prose-driven writing between both games, and the relation to Twin Peaks inspired content, but besides that and a few gameplay cues there isn't much to compare. I think it is generally agreed upon that the gameplay loop for the Max Payne games were better, though. Alan Wake repeats a bit too much, but has a pretty creative story especially if you look into all of the history and lore in the games.
the fact anyone would call this a good game is shocking to me its genuinly ass, the gameplay is awfull, the story is terrible, the writing is dog, and the voice acting is just.....embarasing
That sucks. To each their own. Just know it isn’t as bad as you think. You just have a hard perspective. This is by far not a bad game. Especially with the games we’ve seen since. Again just cause you didn’t enjoy it, didn’t have fun, and/or came in expecting something you’ve already affected your perspective of it. It’s like being biased against something and then doing something involved with it of course it’s going to be objectively the worst thing ever regardless of any good quality it might have. Good luck in life.
God made man, but Smith and Wesson made them equal!

Yeeting rocks at things may well keep Bricky's interest in Control

God: "Do you understand?!"

He's playing the remaster? Dear God.
Edit: I didnt think Alan's VA was particularly bad, but I'm not a native english speaker so who knows.
Yeah I think his VA is good. There's a difference when narrating and when "live" for a reason.
I enjoyed the VA very much. I just going into media with a specific mindset will heavily skew your perspective of it
I think Bricky didn't understand that Narrator Alan was reading from a book/manuscript.
@@hobobox Watching the vids he understands it eventually, I just don’t think it’s his thing. It’s not for everyone but damn it hurts to see someone shit on a performance that I enjoy
Imo the graphical glitches came so upfront just made it impossible for him to take the game seriously
I had to pause the video 3 seconds in after hearing "i've been edging for 9 hours" and just take a lap.
Its a shame Brickys not reading the pages. They have alot of important info in then.
I forgot how much of a baller barry is in this game its actually hilarious
I love how everyone new to the game complains about Alan's narration at first, but over time it grows on you.
When's Control and AW2, Bricky? I've been edging for many days!
Honestly if this is how he reacts to Alan wake then I have no doubt he's gonna fucking hate max Payne and control.
The mix of funny and insane and interesting is what makes this one such a classic to me. It’s bad shit insane.
Ah yes, stream highlights with the main channel's editing style. My ADHD brain is so grateful for this =)
Was hoping to see a "sam lake you hack" counter
Can’t believe they made a game about the smurf cat song guy
Alan wakes narration voice is iconic. God help him when he plays the sequel.
5:13 i do like a good "Why won't you die! Usually when preformed by Norm Mcdonald
I would love to see bricky play all the games with Max Payne, the dialogue alone is worth it.
The opening VA sounds like some Xavier Renegade Angel reject 2:41
This game's story is fantastic. But its gameplay is somehow worse than ps2 shadow of the colossus' control scheme. I made it about half way before I said fuck it and watched a lore video
Eh… the story is ok in the middle, pretty bad at the beginning and end.
If you wont play the American nightmare dlc you should at least watch some of its ingame tapes because they are just amazing and probably pretty important for the sequel.
He did play American Nightmare.
Jesus, Bricky, what'd Alan do to you?
Hope this gets a part 2 and maybe even a full vid on the main channel. I absolutely love this game, even went and 100% it right before Alan Wake 2 came out.

Alan is such a ham

hes incredibly deadpan with no emotion or inflection
he basically reads his lines like a text to speach

PROMETHEUS
Boi bought it during the holiday sale huh
wheres the full stream ;-;
They are unlisted just type Bricky Alan Wake
You can find them by going to Bricky Ep 2 and clicking on the "Live" tab.
He was a writer... so narrating it like he was did fine which is why it was given good praise lol... I guess English class wasn't the strong suit here but it's ok some ppl are ignorant no offense. And non narroting scenes had great acting which u couldn't decipher between .. somehow ...
lmao got isekai'ed
Considering the game came out in 2010, the story was amazing for its time, and still is.
Quantum break is part of the control/ Alan wake universe isnt it?
I genuinely don’t know why he has all these glitches. I played it and it was fine.
Sam Lake you hack!
It is canon that Alan Wake is a shit writer and a bad person, you are kinda meant to dislike him.
edging
what the fuck twitch chat
So is this a worse Max Payne?
Just a different kind of game from Max Payne. There’s actually some tie-in to Max Payne that gets elaborated on in Control DLC
Its completely different. Max Payne is mostly about gameplay while Alan Wake is a story driven game. Alan wake, Control and Alan Wake 2 all are connected to each other and happen in the same world. Quantum Break had a teaser for Alan Wake 2 plot in the beginning of the game where it was presented as a tv show.
