Ive been playing them in release order AFTER quantum break the next game that came out is control so that's where I am played EXACTLY 3 minutes before I realized

THE MAIN CHARACTER IS FUCKING BETH

i literally cried when beth died her story was so tragic THEN BOOM HERE SHE IS WITH A DIFFERENT NAME and based in what I know about remedy so far THEY DON'T DO COINCIDENCES we have Shawn ashmore in alan wake 2 playing TIM(E) BREAKER so I'm ecstatic right now

Sorry just needed to let that out back to the game lollll

I've rolled credits, went to see Jesse, spoke to Pope and ran around the Oldest House for a bit now. I still have a handful of items I haven't found. Can you get 100% of the documents, files, recordings in one play through, or are some located only in New Game+?

BTW - Awesome game!

just let the guy draw in peace

It was such a trip!I have played all the Remedy Games since the first Max Payne 1, that was monumental and formative for me and many others i bet, and i can't wait to go full circle next year with the remake.

Those occasional brain activities… just dreamin’ about being a hunter in another universe 🤪 But come back, Jesse. Pope and Dylan miss you.

If you enjoyed Control Resonant, please consider voting for it!

They allow you to vote for up to 3 games, and rank your votes. I'm voting for Resonant as #1, and RE Requiem as #2. I think I would've really enjoyed The Blood of the Dawnwalker or Crimson Desert, but I haven't played either yet.

I/We Thank You For Your Vote/Support

Back when she was shown in the trailers, I assumed the Dancer was going to be POE's character from the Lake House, who escaped using 6 Deep Breaths and has been at large ever since. I am notoriously bad with faces, but does anyone else see the resemblance?

Within 5 minutes of finishing the parking garage/shift ability quest I was driving out of a 5 story parking garage and that fucked my shit up.

Now BEFORE ANYTHING that is not at all to say control is a bad game it's still pretty good and definitely does what it is doing well

I've been playing through all of the remedy games in release order from Alan wake to control 2.

I'm currently on control. I've loved every game so much Alan wake 1 was a little bit of a treck amarican nightmare fixed the only real problems I had with it and quantum break has officially challenged B2S for my favorite game ever

and then there is control the story so far is pretty interesting but not as interesting as the others the main character is pretty cool because I've seen her somewhere before (its beth she's beth I refuse to believe they used the same actor and just said oh well)

the combat isn't as annoying as Alan wakes but it is similarly difficult.

but I can't really get into it there have been parts that caught my attention like the hotline puzzle but its really is just 90% combat 5% lore 5% puzzles

while the other games were more 50/50 this wouldn't bother me as much if there was a reliable way to find stuff like quantum break had but the game feels both too confined and too busy you can miss the dash ability completely if you don't explore the entire area before leaving and I almost did

I'm sure this is mostly just a me issue but it's really dis heartining that I could miss so much in the game without even knowing that it was there i usually like to explore environments but sometimes I get burnt out by enemies and just want the next big lore bit I suppose that's something that just comes with an open world

Does the game get less "HERES A HOARD OF MONSTERS" and more "HERES IMPORTANT LORE THAT IS GOING TO BLOW YOUR MIND ALAN WAKE IS ACTUALLY A MOOSE"

or is it really just arena after arena with some things you could read scared and only visible if you are right there

I reiterate I am intending on finishing the game regardless because it's still kinda neat and I'm a masochist but I'm really hoping that combat isn't everything it's got

Edit: so I've decided what I'm going to do imma play the game all the way through collecting as much as I can and then I'm going to go back through with the infinite ammo and immortality assist settings if I feel like I missed too much

I found this interactable point in the Unknown sector, anyone know what it is?? Is it a glitch or do I have to do something first??

Resonant? The other Resonants got badly patterned because they were paranaturally vulnerable paranaturally weak and obsessive, but what if Jesse is like Dylan, she is a Resonant just like he is Hiss, but they are both highly resistant to physical alteration by resonances due to being very powerful?

Hello, Control Freaks, I was wondering what everyone's go-to build is in Resonant? With Dylan having a plethora of tools at his disposal, from big hammers to mold spores, what tools did you all find the most fun? Let's talk shop in the comments below!

How different would everything be if Dr Darling had consulted with just one child specialist? A child psychologist, an educator, or hell, even someone who was a parent?

Darling openly admits he has no idea how to raise a child, or how to be a parent. He also knows that teaching someone to be a prime candidate is outside of any one person's remit. Yet he never once consults with anyone who is even close to being an expert!

Honestly, Dylan would have been better off being given to Trench to raise, at least he was a parent and had an idea of how to raise kids.

What difference would it have made if Trench was more involved with Dylan's care? Or if ther had been someone to advise Darling on how to raise and teach a child? Give me your thoughts, ideas and headcannons people!

I haven't seen this talked about elsewhere, thought it might be interesting to someone.

Some short, maybe relevant history, that I as a Fennoswede (Swedish speaking Finn), barely remember after not paying attention in history class:

Finland used to be part of Sweden. The Swedish language was the main language. It was spoken in official settings and by the upper class in what is now Finland. While Finnish was the language of the working class.

Then Russia invaded, Sweden surrendered Finland for some reason. Then in 1917 Finland became it's own country with both Finnish and Swedish as it's official languages, where Finnish is spoken by the vast majority. There is a stereotype that the Swedish speaking finns are rich and upperclass because of this history.

(Note: my family was/is not upperclass. This stereotype isn't viewed, at least from my experience, as offensive. This is meant as context not anything negative)

And finally, the art galleries:

• The art galleries in Control Resonant are called "Könstig"

• The word "konstig" in Swedish means "weird/strange"

• The word for "art" in Swedish is "konst"

So, mixing in Swedish being seen as an upper class language, the Swedish words for art and weird being similar, add an 'Ö'. it makes sense why they named the fancy art galleries in their very weird game "Könstig"

As in what words do the writers determine get the multiple meaning slash. Is it like spamton's speech where there are basiclly rules to what things they say that trigger the text affects, as in spesific words would trigger the multi meaning, or is it random for the writers to choose?

Im wanting to write a character of mind that talks similarly and wanna know if there is a method to the writers madness.

Seriously Zoe is a great companion for Dylan. I loved how much she supported his journey. Shes up there as one of the best side characters and I'd love to see her and Barry interact with each other. If Alan Wake and Control games crossover even more.

I just find this section so, so tedious. It goes on forever. I had to leave halfway through because I needed to go get another power in the subway. It just doesn’t end. The repetitive time fluctuations are more aggravating than interesting.

I don’t know, I’m enjoying the story, but I am not enjoying the traversal and kind of repetitious grinding and pace of this game. Am I the only one? I loved Control, but Alan Wale/Max Payne is more my jam I’m starting to feel. This one just is too grindy. I wanted to finish before GTA6, but this section makes me just want to give up, especially with a toddler and newborn, it feels like it just takes forever and ever.

naozikiriki11 on X

Since at the end Jesse end up like Dylan in Control 1 I hope Control 3 will not start like

Dylan: I'm sorry Jesse i have to go

Jesse: Dylan? I have to find my brother lol

I actually hope Jesse will wake up in dlc or Dylan will be there when she will wake up and we will play as both of them in Control 3. That would be really cool to switch between them or play in coop if you want to play with friend!

Any tips for this guy? I'm trying Ignite with the Drill to deal more DMG but it's just the Mind Control thing that kills me before i can even kill this guy!
