Now I will have nightmares

I returned to have a quick go on Alan Wake earlier after not touching it for a long time.
I need to get to the gas station. Or something.
Oof. That was frustrating.
I didn't get to the gas station.
Instead I made my way to a YouTube video of gameplay tips to remind me how to play.
You can dodge apparently.
And remember... Don't shoot too quickly. Shine the torch and wait.
I'll probably forget again before I go back to it.

Speaking of forgetting, after three poor attempts it's seems I've forgotten how to paint again.
That's what a month of GamePass does to you.

I played the first Alan Wake and the American Nightmare fairly recently. The original game has a bad habit of enemies popping up right behind you and getting a hit in before you can do anything about it. Apart from that annoyance, I enjoyed them both 

Yep, that was my frustration.
Particularly in the way it does that little scripted camera change to show you the single baddie approaching to your right. Back with the live camera, you turn to your right to aim at this guy and then find out that there are three other baddies immediately behind you that didn't show up before.
And even when you know how to dodge, you can't dodge what you can't see.

Yeah. I found it can sometimes help to just hit the dodge the moment it gives you control back. Thankfully the American Nightmare refined the combat side of things and didn't suffer from that issue (it wasn't as enjoyable though).

Yay, I got to the gas station.
And Roy Orbison is playing.
B to Skip?
No. Let it play.

Roy Orbison was the killer in the previous Harry Wild episode!

Of course I'm not sure how accurate the series is - in the one I am trying to watch now (in spite of Merlin) there's a nun who used to date Iggy Pop. And Roy was only called Roy anyway, because he liked the music.

Still, you might want to be careful....

 Roy was watching over you, which might be why you didn't make it before
