So I've seen the trailer for Control Resonance and it looks awesome but I had never played the Remedy-Verse games before and I wanted to dive in before it releases. I happen to own all of them because I got them on sale so I figured "why not."

I just beat Alan Wake 1 and American Nightmare and decided to finally listen to the spoilercast.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because Alan Wake was legitimately one of the worst games I've ever played.

I listened to the spoilercast and I was shocked how much they gushed over it.

I'm not judging anyone's tastes, I feel like it's something I'M not getting. I'm usually able to see why someone likes a game even if I'm not a fan personally but I truly thought it was one of the worst designed games I've ever played.

What am I not getting? Did I miss something in the story? Some twist? I didn't get all the manuscripts but I beat the game, all of the DLC and American Nightmare.

>On PlayStation 5 in the near future, you're going to be hacking, slashing, stabbing, and serrating your enemies with reckless abandon. For starters, the dangerously-clawed Wolverine emerges in September, along with a newly-announced special edition PS5 console, a couple of DualSense controllers, and even some plates for your existing hardware. (Plus, the previews are quite positive!) September also provides us with horroresque Halloween: The Game from IllFonic, which interestingly enough won't be released in Australia and New Zealand for the stupidest reason. Come October, hack-and-slash RPG Phantom Blade 0 joins the fray -- a long-in-development Chinese game that's getting its own State of Play imminently -- not to mention Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition, packing new single-player content galore alongside the return of the Katana-wielding Atsu. Other news this week includes a surprise PS3-era Lord of the Rings drop, insane data about Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders, and more. But we end, as we always do, with listener inquiries. Will Sony really eschew any sort of external disc drive for PlayStation 6, if only for backwards compatibility purposes? Why is visiting a new town in an RPG typically such an exciting experience? What would a "Digital Bill of Rights" look like? Is Dustin losing his Japanese language skills through atrophy?
