But a few things I feel Patrick is missing about Alan Wake:<br /><br />1)Running away is a totally valid tactic. I think the game makes this mostly clear that it;s an option but admittedly, gamers have been conditioned for decades that the only way to win combat is to decimate the enemy. This is seldom the case here.<br />2)When out of ammo and waiting for your battery to recharge, DODGE! If you're dying 90% of the time when out of bullets and batteries, I guarantee it's because you're not dodging. You can play through most of the game without shooting; you HAVE to dodge!<br />3)The flashlight still erodes the "shadow shields" even when not "boosting" with the left trigger. More slowly of course, but it helps, especially if you're out of batteries.Ryan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368248055790360205noreply@blogger.com
