I was sent two copies by accident, and they forgot to charge me for either of them. Sometimes life's ok.

I bought NFS Most wanted from Origin like 3-4 years ago or whenever it came out.

I've still never been charged for it.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

9 can't come soon enough. I wanna play this game so bad.

 

[robotrock]

Did Remedy do the PC version?

 

[therealminime]

Did Remedy do the PC version?

Yes.

 

[Jakartalado]

Worst idea ever to release the live action only when the game launches.

I'm lost because I can't watch the cutcenes and I want to keep playing. (streaming is not working here in Brazil)

Not to mention the 5 hour install.

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER MICROSOFT

Can't you download the video files?

 

[Jakartalado]

Can't you download the video files?

Only available for those who bought or pre-ordered the digital version.

 

[ViciousDS]

Can't you download the video files?

That's 73GB....... That's bigger than the game lol

 

[hlhbk]

That's 73GB....... That's bigger than the game lol

Yeah. I know. I downloaded them over the weekend? So?

 

[ViciousDS]

Yeah. I know. I downloaded them over the weekend? So?

So, he bought a new game and can't play it now for probably a couple days due to streaming servers getting slammed.....that sounds great.

Also digital only afaik gets the option to even download the video files as it's part of a bundle

 

[Grisby]

I'm gonna be playing a new Remedy game tomorrow night.

Wait, you can't play the game if you don't download the episodes or he is just choosing not to? Can't you just watch them on youtube or something.

 

[Salsa]

Yeah. I know. I downloaded them over the weekend? So?

- shit I wanna play this game that I bought right now but cant cause videos arent live

- YEAH SO? WHATS THE BIG DEAL BRO CANT YOU DONLOAD 75 GIGS

 

[keltickennedy]

Looks like this guy is streaming the PC version - https://www.twitch.tv/bikeman

Ohhh Bikeman. Follow this dude, he is hilarious.

 

[ViciousDS]

Sounds like the streams aren't working for the gaffer in Brazil so it's either wait for then to fix the video streaming service for the game (think Netflix) or download 73GB of video data

 

[Twin Tails]

Only comes every decade.

Just like I said. You can play, but I'm lost, it's just useless to lose 20 minutes of story and keep playing

And the videos files aren't available for those who bought the disc version. At least for now

What does it do then when it goes to play an episode where it's supposed to stream?

 

[ducksauce]

So if I buy this from the Windows Store can I just add it to Steam as a Non-Steam game? Are there any issue with launching Windows Store games in Steam Big Picture Mode?

 

[BuggeryBugz]

I've finished act 1 and playing through act 2 now and I love it. First episode was better than I expected. Gameplay and story so far are great.

 

[ViciousDS]

Oh no GAF.....I think I bugged my game trying to bypass the launch date lol.

So I had it preloaded, changed system to all NZ. Tried launching and got an error. Deleted and redownloaded. Tried to launch from NZ store.....all it would do it load the store and say buy. Fine.

Delete and switch back to us and clean install. I wanted to make sure it gave the me it's too early error. Now when it says ready to start it just opens to the store page with install.......welp hope this gets fixed when it officially launched and unlocks it lol

There are 4 options in the screen

1) keep playing (but it doesn't start)
2) check you Internet settings
3) download the video files (it pulls you out of the game and shows the Store. But you can't download the files, it only shows the option to Play the game or bundle only available. Endless loop)
4) skip cutcenes and keep playing

I thought the guy from remedy posted that part of the day one patch was the ability to add the option for users to download the episodes from within the game?

[Defect]

So I preordered the game yesterday. When do I get the Alan Wake games?

I don't think you can add it to Steam actually.

Did you try the "games and apps" trick where you go to the game that is pre-loaded and press "start/menu"?

When you do that go to "manage game", then see if the DLC Videos is under there where you can install it.

That exploit where you changed region to unlock early has been fixed since two years. It unlocks when it officialy unlocks in the country you bought it.

PC performance thread

 

[robotrock]

What the hell honestly damn. Bummed about this PC port business, Remedy is usually brilliant on that front.

Xbox it is.

 

[Self_Destructive]

So it looks better on Low on PC than it does on Xbox One? Cause that's what that guys saying... lol.. And he really doesn't know that to exit any UWA you simply move the mouse to the top of the screen and the title bar will appear and you can press the red x in the corner?

Yea.. judging from the PC stream I'm watching right now.. I'd say this guys PC is just messed up and he has no idea what he's doing.

 

[MrBlonde]

I was going to wait for a sale since this is a single player game, no co op or MP and I rarely replay single player games but I changed my mind last minute and pre ordered digital looks really good and didn't want to wait.

Plus other then Doom there doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of stuff coming these next few months that I want so why not. I have to many games that need to be played and not enough time.
