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.
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 RUclips.
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
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
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.
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.
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 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 RUclips 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 RUclipsrs have millions of subs...
love your content! Are gonna do a video for RE4 remake? It'd be hilarious to see you do S+ run on hardest difficulty without the ashley armor or infinite revolver ammo
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
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
I only just started this game for the first time recently. I had no fucking clue you were supposed to "break" their shields before shooting them and I died so often. It wasn't until I got stuck and watched a video that I realized I was a moron. That being said, I don't really like the game, it's so boring. I'll finish it eventually, but it's just too repetitive, hopefully the sequel is better.
Snamwiches i got a question would be fine if i did something similar to this but for a different game that has 0.08% of anyone getting it? It's a game i haven't seen you play at all but i wanna test my chances of getting an okay before i really bite at something you do in the most interesting way. The game i'm talking about is zombie army 4: dead wars with the achievement complete the campaign on nightmare mode being seen as almost nearly impossible.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 :)
Sounds like someone would love another game as frustrating as The Evil Within again. May I suggest Daymare 1998 if you haven't played it yet. It's very resident evil like, though I don't know if you'll find it challenging.
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!
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
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
I'm not sure 200+ deaths counts as easy 🤨 can we stop with the mentatility that everything is easy and just admit something was a challenge, what is the super hard challenge your comparing everything to?
It’s definitely not easy compared to just playing games normally, but in terms of the hardest achievement in other games I’ve played it really wasn’t that bad at all. The Evil Within Akumu Mode which this challenge is based off of took me twice the time and deaths, so compared to that I breezed through lol. Hope that clarifies what I meant a bit!
@Snamwiches I hope you dint take it as an attack, all the games I've done are are easy, and I have a friend who tells me everything is do is ease lol drives me nuts 😭 I'm an advocate for time consumption should be taken into account when considering difficulty lol
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!
This could be made even Harder by if you get hit by anything I don't care how it happens it could be the most little thing ever you have to restart the entire game now that is what we call Hell EDIT: I Feel this made me sound like I did not acknowledge your achievement of beating this game on the hardest difficulty without taking damage which I did not mean to this video was great and I am glad for you this would not be fun to do over time it would drive most to wish for their existence to cease so yeah sorry if what I said came off rude I meant nothing by it I was just saying this could be made way worse
I was gonna a say I was expecting you to say nightmare was hard I was gonna be like I beat nightmare in 8 hours cause I’ve played this game over 20 times
*remembers how the fact evil within 2's achievements became a joke due to its cheats Bethesda gave* ...now if it didn't cause me to softlock on ladders I'd be cool with it
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.
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!
This achievement counts as hard? Lol, didn't knew it. Im only missing 1 Achievement (playing the dlc without dying) Edit: Better watch the video next time first... your reload rule makes it harder of course.
God Alan's stamina infuriates me to this very day
Words of a man who never played The Evil Within 1 & 2
@@ima_loaf9076 mostly just 1. God it was obnoxious
Alan and Sebastian would get along well, We need a list with player characters with the worst stamina bars in gaming it seems.

It was a heck of a challenge.
"And soon he Alan wakes up." Reporting to twitch, youtube, and God.
This whole game can best be described as "should have booked a hotel"
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.

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

one of my favorite games of all time. Glad you played this!
One of the greatest soundtracks too. Its just so good.

I just found this channel recently and I’ve already binge watched all of your videos. This really needs more love. It’s gold.
Snam, You should also do the DLC. That might prove to be a challenge.
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 love the video editing style, surely deserves more subs for the amount of work/editing he does.
You should 100% LA Noire for no reason whatsoever
Nothing like a video of one of my favorite streamers on a day that has me down. Thank you for making the content you make man
I hope your day gets better 😊
Snam, I don’t know why you do this to yourself, but keep doing it because this is gold. 🤣
Because money lol
You should do a video on Call of Duty MW2 where you play the campaign on veteran with all challenges on. Kinda like LASO but for Call of Duty.
i haven't laughed this much in a really long time, it's been amazing and needed, thanks for this gift Snam
