I just can't find myself getting excited for this game at all.... The whole monsters and flashlight thing just doesn't really seem all that interesting. Maybe the story will be amazing, I don't know. It seems like it has some Stephen King-esque potential.

I hope so considering Stephen King's work was partly used as influence for the game.

Perhaps I am too cynical, but naming your character A.Wake seems really dumb to me. I groan every time I remember this connection.

Awesome video, honestly this is my most anticipated game next year. I'm a sucker for atmosphere and story in games.

This doesn't look like something I'd drop 60 on. Maybe 40.

Agreed, I was interested at first but I haven't seen anything that impresses me. Heck this is actually just a rental for me, glad I have Gamefly.

Call of Duty 4
WaW
MW2
ODST
Fable II
Dragon Age
Demon's Souls
Killzone 2
Uncharted 2
That's about it, really.

@ Samuel Vines
He's right some games aren't worth $60 especially with deals from Amazon on a daily basis. Now as for games worth $60 easily Uncharted 2, and Modern Warfare 2 but everything else like AC2 are only worth $40 just like this game or so the impression I get.

For example, there was no way I was paying 60 for L4D2. So I waited until I got it for 40.

I know. Just wanted an idea of what he thought was worth $60. Although AC2 worth $40? From what I hear it's worth every penny.

No game is worth $60 unless it has online multiplayer. Alan Wake looks sexy as hell but I see little reason to come back to it after you play it through once.

You don't need an attack force against you when everyone already hates you. Then it just becomes redundant.

I'm not so sure that everyone hates you. I don't. We may not agree on a lot of things, but as I've said, you do stick by your opinion.
But you probably have me beat. For now.

Besides, people only hate Darth because he posts all the damn time. People hate me because the things I say and truth I bring hurts and annoys them.
That's far more satisfying.

Bradwart's hate comes from just seeing him post 72.6 times a day.
Tmac's hate comes from him just speaking his mind and not giving a shit.
Chris' hate comes from...I don't really know actually. Better pull the race card...

I don't hate anyone, either. Why can't we all just get along? You think I never fought with Joey and Danny? Please! Joey never took things seriously and Danny was always so uptight and would yell at you if you never used a coaster. But we were a family and we always remained as such. It also helped when I moved out of my bedroom with pink bunnies on the wall and into the attic. It felt more like my own space up there...

my hate stems from numerous things I have been told.
"You can't use correct punctuation!?!?" -is this an English class? no, its the internet, I can be lax if if choose.
"You are a SONY FANBOY!!!" -uhhhh no, I'm not. I call Sony on their bullshit too, and the only Sony products I will ever own most likely are going to be PlayStation branded, unless I get one of their eReaders OR I can get a Bravia for a REAL good price
"your name is ridiculously long/why do you have your handles in your name" - Usually get those on Engadget and other weblog inc sites.....and my response is if you posted primarily on Joystiq.com you would understand
"YOU'RE BLACK!!!/BLACKIE!!!/SPOOK!!/COON!!!/Wuzzup daWg!?!/Your picture scares me" -Pointless racism or they just really have an issue with looking at my picture for some reason

The only person I despised was Spinkles, mainly because he was a bit thick, lol, but then, he did make posts more amusing to look at, I think with a ton of positives, there should also be a negative.
I'm guessing he ran out of PCs and ip addresses to use in order to get on :D

There always has to be someone to direct the hate at. It's not much fun if everyone is all puppy dogs and ice cream. Bradwart, you seem to be the go to guy for the white out's lately. I suppose your pic doesn't help either. It's so bright and stands out when you scroll through the comments, making it easy to just stop by for a quick "-" check, ha.
Maybe I should stir the pot...
Hey guys! You know what sucks? The console that you enjoy the most!

Dear uncle jesse,
I don't know why it took so long for me to write to you. I have always enjoyed reading your posts here on Joystiq. You've got something that is really likeable about you (the hair?). I don't know but I just happened to catch an episode of "Full House" last night and couldn't help but love it. It was that episode where Stephanie cuts Uncle Jesse's hair during a 'pretend' hair cut. It reminded me of a time of innocents. A time when someone would say TGIF and not be referring to a restaurant with sub-par food and annoying shit all over the walls.
So with that and without digressing any further, it is with great pleasure that I am formally inviting you to join the Planeteer Foundation with a very, very special Power...
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I PRESENT TO YOU, THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE PLANETEERS:
uncle jesse [Planeteer | Power of the Unequivocal Truth, Cool Hair and being Captain Planet's Best Friend]
This Power may be daunting at first. I have only offered it once before and it went unfulfilled so I understand if you do not accept this invitation.
Remember, the Power is YOURS!
Your pal,
CP

Darth, seriously dude, the shit gets annoying. Your posts are 95% fodder. While you do have some good ones from time to time, they get lost in the sea of blue avatar 'post the first thing that comes to my head no matter what' syndrome that you have.
You have 3000 posts in a MONTH's time.
By comparison, I have 300 posts in 3 years. I read weblogs everyday... I just post when I see fit. Quality not quantity. (not saying my posts are anywhere near quality, but you get the idea) :)

Cap,
thank you. I...I don't know what to say. Other than, I remember that haircut. I was so upset. I got into that accident and had to have both of my arms in a cast. It was a struggle, albeit an amusing one, to make myself a bowl of cereal. Initially, I was too proud to ask for help, but my family was there when I needed them.
* Cue the montage of various, everyday activities with help from the Tanners with The Beatles in the background.
