Arey i am not mixing many games. After I ended Arkham City I started with Mass Effect because i lost my last save and i also forgot the plot and wanted to start with ME2 after my exams. Now when mass effect gets over then i will start with another game. I play only one game at a time. Just confused which game to start with. It will not be ME2 cause ME2 and ME3 i will play back to back after my results. Till then i'll either start Alan Wake or Witcher 2 and now one more addition Skyrim.
 
Here's your solution, if you want to continue playing Mass Effect, then continue until you finish all 3 games. As evident, a prolonged gap would have you loosing track of the storyline. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT start The Witcher 2 between the Mass Effect games. That game needs to be played with a fresh start and with no other games to think about. Skyrim and the rest can wait.
 
Started the game and completed the oil derrick part. Thank goodness Alan has ditched his old formal attire and the revised look is a welcome change. There hasn't been a noticeable difference in the visuals though. The HUD has changed and the battery for the torch recharges much faster. Gameplay remains similar from the previous one. I happened to start this almost immediately after concluding the last DLC for Alan Wake - The Writer. Glad to have Barry onboard. Looking forward to a good weekend now. :)

Alan Wake will have to wait now. Off to ME2 Then.

Don't forget to watch those short television clips of Mr. Scratch. They are brilliantly acted. The female characters in this game are also very interesting, especially Dr. Rachel Meadows. Her conversations with Wake are handled pretty well.

Will do! It seems that all the cutscenes are live-action ones?

Oh I absolutely loved the garage mechanic and the motel owner - Emma Sloan! Interacted with her as much as I could. :ohyeah:

Yes. She is quite a character. She becomes more cautious, each time you re-visit that area.
@dinjo: Not sure. I'll have to check.

Let me know whether its a bak or not and how big is that file, that scene was really amazing
 
Do you mean BAK or BIK, or are both the same? Anyway, I'll let you know once I get home. If it's a short one, I'll upload it for you.
 
I think he's referring to .bik. Those are the extensions for Bink video file formats. Playable in many media players actually.
 
It has a couple of BIK cinematic files in there. I'm not sure which one it is. There is one tagged cine_6000.bik and the size is 102MB. That probably could be it.

EDIT: Found it. It's cine_3400.bik which is 309MB in size.
 
Completed the observatory and the drive-in theater parts. I think I am loving the gameplay in this one over the previous one.
 
In the beginning, YES. But you'll soon realise, that you're doing the same stuff over and over again and that's where this game takes a hit.
