24:41 This shot of looking down the bridge immediately unlocked a repressed memory in my mind. I got so stuck at this part I ended up having to throw in the towel and watch the ending on UA-cam.
I was on the testing team for the original release of Alan Wake. Near the end of the project, I was doing pacifist runs for fun. Don't kill any enemies yourself (except the first boss, since you have to), but environmental kills are allowed. Leading them into power cables and such. It was a heck of a challenge.
I absolutely love this game. It was a game I rented randomly from Blockbuster as a kid, and then quickly bought it to own. I’ve played it through like 15 times now 😂
I've never thought about this before. And I've never actually played much of the game, but what does that lady give you at the start?? Yeah, it's a sketchy set of keys, but I assume they knew what place they rented, which would be the cabin on the lake. If it was a different set of keys, the door just wouldn't work. Or did it take him to like a different dimension or something??
@@maxbracegirdle9990their rented cabin near lake, but lady (darkness) gave them another set from cabbin in center of lake, at small island, which drown years ago
It's cool how a lot of the games you are playing are old ones I have played through multiple times so long ago, yet upping the challenges and the nostalgia make watching all your videos irresistible. Your positive vibes are also awesome too.
everytime I come back to this vid is solely for two reasons: 1. He made the challenge silly harder than it originally was 2. 12:08 "You took it from behind like a champ" makes me laugh so effin hard every.single.time I'm in love with this channel, I adore your community's chat on the vids and also I really like the commitment and creativity you have for each video. Keep up the great work!
I am so happy you decided to do an even harder challenge than nightmare. Alan Wake is my favorite game of all time, so seeing it get clobbered by someone who can play the game even better than me. I am so excited for Alan Wake 2 that I will play it as soon as it comes out, no matter how much it costs or what platform it comes out on
Im a trophy hunter but I absolutely love your videos. Its your humour and personality that keep me watching, as well as watching you go insane from some of the challenges you give yourself lmao
Man I love this game, can't wait for the sequel. Only a few more months. Also great idea with the no hit run, never thought of it myself and I probably never will, because I lack your patience, but that's why I'm grateful for people like you who do all the stuff I either can't or don't want to do, so I can still enjoy it.
you are actually really good (or way more stuborn than me) at games! i don't have the time/energy to watch full VODs/streams so these highlight videos are perfect. i really like the editing and full commentary that goes into them, i definitely appreciate it! also i really love alan wake, and am super excited for the sequel this year! happy i found your channel and happy to subscribe :)
been watching you ever since you started, just wanted to say congrats on all these games you've done hard achievements in. thanks for being my comfort streamer!
Yes! I'm so happy to see this one. It's just such a good game. Really looking forward to the second one as well. Plus the tie-in with control is pretty neat
What's the tie in with control?? I was super surprised I actually found control so dull. It looked so good and all the times I played it, I was just so underwhelmed.
@@maxbracegirdle9990 I will admit that control only plays...okay. Personally it really drew me in with the setting, and twin peaks vibes, but I can see that not being enough. Anyway, one of the DLC's for the game is based around the pages and the darkness from alan wake, and there's a few collectables in the main game that refer to the bright falls incident, alan wake, and a typewritten page from alan. It's just something I really enjoyed; how the events of alan wake are just another in an endless string that this organization deals with-but it's one that we've seen the other side of.
Another banger video from the achievement Chad to watch. I’m glad you have your VOD channel too to keep me occupied in between these videos otherwise I’d be a sad boi
Back in the day I'd up the challenge by restricting myself to never focus any light sources. It makes the game pretty interesting actually, because some enemies cannot have their shield broken without focusing it, forcing you to use flashbangs or other powerful sources that don't require focusing. and the enemies who can be broken by the unfocused flashlight take longer, making some sections a war of attrition.
Snam I love you bro, this is probably the only video you’re posting that I won’t watch on release. Only bc I haven’t played Alan Wake and I want to myself before 2 drops. But I’m certain this vid is amazing. Keep up the great work!
Alan Wake is one of my favorite games. I was so happy when it got remastered and then I was *ecstatic* when I saw the teaser for the sequel. I can’t wait to play it!
@@Snamwiches haha 😂 great video as always, the pain of your failures are hilarious and that’s what makes this sooo good. I need to watch some of your streams, you are hilarious.
another great challenge snam i respect the level of insanity to add an extra challenge on espically with as clunky this game can be sometimes. it was a another really fun video thank you snam keep up your amazing content. like you said i hope alan wake 2 has a tough challenge so you can do it im looking forward to that
Oh yeah, especially the achievements where you have to complete them without dying. I think the first one was harder overall, but the second was me made me more anxious because of the platforming.
I had to postpone watching this video for a few days until I finally finished the game. Now I'm done with the game and done with the video. This game was actually on my bucket list ever since it was originally released but I just recently got it and it was great. By the way, I love how you can easily tell how many game sessions it took by counting all the different shirts Snam wears throughout the video.
The real hardest achievement in this game was me trying to get through the second DLC in one go… god DAMN it, all the platforming on that section… the fucking platforming WHIRLWIND… it took me like 2 days on and off of tries to do just that. AND ITS NOT ACTUALLY HARD, BUT ALAN JUMPS LIKE A FUCKING ASSHOLE
I wouldn't mind another excuse to play Alan Wake again since it's a classic. Played it a couple years ago after playing through Control which made for a fun combo along with American Nightmare. Haven't played the remaster so someday I'll have to grab it and can have fun getting all of the achievements again.
Hey, Snam! First, I want to thank you for all the videos. You became one of my favorite youtubers ever. A suggestion for a new game and achievements are the Metro games. I am sure it will be fun for you and us. P.S. Cannot belive that 13 days after this comment, Snam really did a Metro achievement video!😅❤ Thanks, Snam!
If you want a mind-meltingly frustrating achievement, try Dante’s Inferno on its highest difficulty. There’s not actually an achievement for that, so maybe a 100% collectibles run on infernal to waste away a chunk of your life.
"The problem is that Barry is just as familiar with the key's location as he is with the clitoris. Which is to say not very." You didn't have to do poor Barry like this...
Hey snam love your content u help my video game frustration by doing more frustrating things than any person rightly should but ur a god. You probably won’t read this bc ur a busy guy but there’s an achievement for a game called colts canyon on Xbox that is the hardest challenge in video game history it’s called “the specialist” it’s worth 100 gamer points and I can’t beat it I don’t think anyone can.
Hi snam, just a suggestion. i think it will be better to sensor out how many times you die in the clips at the start of the video in a challenge just to not "spoil" how many times it will take. The videos still are amazing as always its just something i thought of recently.
As in throughout the video, it only at the start? Usually I do during the intro if I have a clip from later in the playthrough, but didn’t this time to see what people might think
If you want to connect to this video, Control is lots of fun. Honestly the true hardest achievement is prob killing an amount of the aerial enemies in the dlc or vending machines. They barely spawn
Funny this Video came out a few days after me and my nephew played that game first time and on hard and blind. so frustrating on parts, but not like dead space or the evil within difficulty of course.
I tried Alan Wake after watching this but had to refund the game because the running and stamina was infuriating. I was trying to collect a thermos and I just couldn't because of the constantly respawning enemies.
Is UA-cam algorithm just scumming snamwiches? I come back every couple of weeks expecting him to blow up and have a million subs but ive been doing that for like 6 months!!! I dont understand how content of this quality is so slept on and then brain rot UA-camrs have millions of subs...
Yo Snam, if you’re trying to bridge the gap between Alan Wake 2 and now, I’m sure you could make a hard mode/akumu mode in Control. They’re explicitly in the same world and AW2 will probably reference the Federal Bureau of Control at some point.
God Alan's stamina infuriates me to this very day
Words of a man who never played The Evil Within 1 & 2

Alan and Sebastian would get along well, We need a list with player characters with the worst stamina bars in gaming it seems.

So fun! One of my favorite titles of the 360 generation. What a cool thing to be a small part of
I absolutely love this game. It was a game I rented randomly from Blockbuster as a kid, and then quickly bought it to own. I’ve played it through like 15 times now 😂
I did the same with The Darkness on 360! I rented from Family Video so often that they ended up just selling it to me lol

The Darkness needs a remake/remaster, absolutely brilliant game, shame about the awful sequel though.
You should give Control a shot if you haven't played it, there's more of Alans story in it.
It's cool how a lot of the games you are playing are old ones I have played through multiple times so long ago, yet upping the challenges and the nostalgia make watching all your videos irresistible. Your positive vibes are also awesome too.
youre making me feel old, Alan Wake was 2010 which is holy crap 13 years ago
This whole game can best be described as "should have booked a hotel"

"And soon he Alan wakes up." Reporting to twitch, youtube, and God.
Flashbangs in this game are one of my favorite weapons in any game, ever. They go off like goddamn nuclear bombs against most enemies, it's great.
They really are GOATed in this game haha
@@Snamwiches So satisfying to use
one of my favorite games of all time. Glad you played this!
One of the greatest soundtracks too. Its just so good.
