Just finished Star Wars Fallen Order, am working on DBZ Xenoverse 2 at the moment and Tom Clanceys Wildlands Co-op with a mate.

For Super Mario RPG and the Yoshi race, I always have to go way slower than my brain wants to go. I struggled a lot in the first SNES run but won first try in this remake. I also felt some timing issues, in particular with the Super Jumps. I never had a problem getting over 30 for the Attack Scarf, both on SNES and when I've played ROMs over the years, but I couldn't even get to 30 on Switch after a bunch of tries. I've never succeeded in doing 100 for the Super Suit, so I wasn't expecting that, but not even being able to get the Attack Scarf was frustrating. As for me, I haven't posted in forever but I've played a bunch of really solid games. The most standout for me recently was Dicey Dungeons (GamePass). I'd heard of it years ago when it was part of the indie Game Jam where the theme was "a roll of the dice" and heard it was a fun roguelike but I never got around to trying it until recently. I found it to be incredibly fun despite its apparent simplicity. Not since Shovel Knight have a felt such a distinct difference between playing as different characters, where your gameplay is so altered. Each character had a unique and interesting way of playing as them, forcing you to learn how to use them properly and play differently, focusing on different types of gear and different dice rolls. It also gave me that awesome feeling from roguelike games where a build comes together perfectly for you to just destroy enemies, and I hadn't had that feeling since Risk of Rain 2. Loved this game, and highly recommend it. It also did a great job with RNG, utilizing only input RNG with dice rolls rather than output RNG which drives most gamers crazy. Hard Mode had a really good challenge to it, as did the final boss run and fight (which again added even more change-up to the gameplay), making for an incredibly satisfying completion. I finally got around to playing Bioshock 2, which I for some reason never did, despite loving Bioshock and Infinite. Same solid gameplay as the first game, even though it felt markedly more difficult. The story didn't have the same impactful twist as Bioshock and Infinite, but it was still a solid story and good DLC story content. I wasn't looking forward to the Protector Trials at all just because I detest horde modes, especially when shoehorned into games for no real reason. They turned out to be pretty fun with the variety of set builds you're given, forcing you to try out all of the weapons and plasmids. It was a challenge for sure considering I only really used one or two plasmids during the story, but I didn't have any real issues and finished up that completion. A huge chunk of DLC was released for Talos Principle II, anywhere from 20-30 hours of content for $20, which was amazing. It was three separate pieces of content, with the first requiring some new ways to think about existing mechanics, the second being a more straightforward story expansion of the base game, and the third filling in a gap in the base game with some of the hardest puzzles in the game. I got through the first piece of content with relative ease once I figured out the leaps in logic I needed to make for this group of puzzles. The second was challenging but still doable. The third was absolutely brutal. A total of 24 of some of the toughest puzzles I've ever had to solve. This series continues to be one of the favorites for puzzles, combining excellent narrative, really interesting "lore," and perfectly designed puzzles. They're just hard enough to be doable but give you that satisfying aha moment when you break through. I'm expecting a third game eventually (and looking forward to it).

Now I could be wrong on this, but I am pretty sure that you cannot earn achievements on EA and Ubisoft games without streaming them via Cloud Gaming on the PC's Xbox App as these come directly from the developers PC versions/launchers which are not connected to the Xbox servers. The achievement list that you see, is most likely only available if you play it via Cloud Gaming which 'should' launch the console version as the streaming service uses Series X server blades to deliver the content and as such, you would be playing directly on the console. I don't know that for certain, but this has always been my interpretation of those EA and Ubisoft games on the Xbox App. Maybe it's the developers/publishers way of trying to encourage people to buy games directly from their own launcher/store instead of via Microsoft so that they don't have to pay a percentage to them for each game sold, or maybe so that they don't have to go back through their games (most of which development/support ended years ago) to integrate the Xbox Live service into the PC versions.

I loaded up Lords of the Fallen and noped it out pretty quick. Just didn't interest me but that could be because I am burned out on Elden Ring. Decided to go back to Starfield now that mods have been out a while and the game is enjoyable. It's sad that the community understands what they want in games better than Bethesda. So many simple mods that change basic parts of the game to make them more enjoyable and in line with what people want from an RPG.

When I had clicked on the numbers it showed first to unlock and recent unlocks for me. I didn't notice the comments until I scrolled further down after reading your message. I had wondered about the dialog tag, and wondered why it wasn't clickable but that makes sense now. I appreciate the reply, don't think I would have guessed them all, especially the rook. Glad that was clarified by the other comment.

The Castle/Rook icon represents 'Difficulty Specific' for an achievement, completing a game on hard difficulty for example. There seems to be at least one image in the new format that is currently not in use, such as the Date/Time Sensitive icon (represented by a clock face) and so the older icon is still being used in it's place. One icon however, the green Power icon is currently being used to represent two different things at the moment, Online and Multiplayer. There is a multiplayer icon in the new format available (it's four dots in a square formation) but currently the multiplayer tag is linked to the online image tag. Whether this was a choice by Rx or not, I cannot say. I just wanted to put it out there, just in case Rx was not aware of it.

The number in parenthesis is the number of comments that achievement has, not how many people unlocked it. The symbol to the left of the number is simply a dialogue box for the comments. Those symbols are what we call 'tags'. They tell you what is needed to unlock the achievement. For your screenshot, the profile face/torso means 'single player', the book means 'story related' and the download symbol means it's an offline/online achievement (faded green is offline and brighter green is online [multiplayer]). Before the site update in September 2020, we could assign tags to every achievement. After the update, we can't anymore, and it's become an automatic thing. How accurate it is I do not know, nor do I know what a few of them mean, such as the rook/castle tower. It's mainly a forgotten thing when it was once a major feature in 2015. Example of tags, both pre-update and post-update. The green images are post-update tags that were automatically assigned. Hover over the colorful image (on a PC) and it shows what it means. https://www.xboxachievements.com/game/gears-of-war/achievements/ This is a list of the pre-update symbols that were used: https://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/topic/438199-achievement-tagging-is-live/

I've actually played this game on XBox and Steam. I can confirm using the secrets menu does not affect achievements in any way. (In fact, it's a good way to get several of the character unlock achievements faster). It's just a good way to unlock the other characters and levels without having to do any strange easter eggs.

Clog away! Yeah it's possible that since they were unlocked on an XSX instead of an actual 360 that there's more of an issue than normal, but the site gets all their info directly from Xbox/Microsoft, and since they show as unlocked there they should here. Well wait and see

I checked your Played Games in your stat profile and that game was showing correct at 18 achievements unlocked. Checked the game's achievement list and indeed it still shows only 12 achievements unlocked. Checked your Achievement Log and it also has only 12 achievements unlocked. I reset you again to see if it would fix it but it didn't. Looking at your tag in the Xbox app it shows 6 achievements as 'Unlocked' with no timestamp, meaning that they were unlocked while you were disconnected from Xbox Live. That's the same thing it would show if playing on a 360 and it wasn't connected. Honestly haven't seen that in years. I reset your tag again and Played Games still shows 18 achievements but your Achievement Log and achievement list now show 14 achievements (you recently unlocked 2 more). What I did is notify RoutineX (our programmer). Maybe he can do something with your achievements. I do know that 360 achievements unlocked while disconnected from Xbox Live should appear as unlocked in the game's list. I have had several games from 2007 and 2008 where I've unlocked achievements while disconnected from XBL that do indeed show as unlocked on the site. It will probably fix itself eventually but we'll see what Rx has to say. https://www.xboxachievements.com/profiles/BornAProphet/games https://www.xboxachievements.com/game/alan-wake/achievements/BornAProphet https://www.xboxachievements.com/profiles/BornAProphet/log

Finished up Puzzle quest 3 achievements at last, but I feel like they will probably add more again so will keep logging in for now to amass some more resources. They have added back in a way to evolve gear after taking that option away in a previous update. The new gear system is alright as far as i can tell, but i havent really played around with it all that much. Also still just slogging away at Gems of War, having to do lots of PvP which is more im depth than when i last played properly so is good.

According to the Game Pass mobile app, in the EA Play section for PC, The Sims 4 is listed. So I don't know why you aren't unlocking any achievements. This is probably a question for EA directly.

Processed. That was an awfully delayed signup!

Sure my GT is LeBeauGringo if you need anything just tell me . Thank you ! edit : i just saw you already send them thank you i made a copy of them .

June 2024 Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II: I honestly don’t know why I played this. I did not care much for the first game, which was a glorified walking simulator with annoying voices in your ear the whole time. And that’s what we got here, lol. I will say that the game was beautiful and the story was intriguing. The game reached a huge peak for me during the first “boss fights” of sorts, especially with the attacks in tune with the music. Boss #2 was pretty good as well, and got me thinking that a full-fledged game with less walking and more of these epic bosses would be great. Like a modern-day Shadow of the Colossus. But yeah, that was about it. I got to the ending expecting the most epic of the boss fights and the game fell flat on its face. I’ll give it a solid 7 for being beautiful and having two good fights, but the rest was eh. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank: Played this one because I enjoyed the humor and gameplay of the first game. I didn’t really expect this one to go full-roguelite, but it was alright. There was plenty of weapon variety, but sadly all of them became useless when you could just start with a rocket launcher and magnum. I had slight annoyances with the side quests because of the RNG or just randomness of finding NPCs. The person who wanted me to harvest 110+ souls can fuck off. The boss fights felt so completely random and out of place. Plus the music didn't hit as hard as the first game. Overall it was enjoyable for a sitting but I was rushing it by the end. Probably would ding it more if it wasn't so short. Final Fantasy XVI – The Rising Tide DLC: Planned to play the second DLC in May, but my plans got delayed until the first week of June. I’ll start by saying this DLC was a major step up from the first one, which was basically just a hollow appetizer with an epic boss. In this one we got story, side-quests, new weapons/armor, two new Eikons to play with, and a…roguelite mode ZZZZZ. I enjoyed the new Eikons which both brought fun, engaging abilities that I added to my rotation. The side quests were whatever, mostly fetch quests but allowed me to explore the beatiful area from top to bottom. The game is still not stable 60fps btw, that’s a paddlin. The main boss fight was worthy of adding to my epic gaming moments this year, however I was getting curb stomped by it. Turns out the DLCs increased the max level from 100 to 120, but I was just floating through on Final Fantasy difficulty with the auto-dodge ring. Well I got hit with a massive DPS check because I was nearly 20 levels lower than the boss. Worst of all, I had zero saves that could back me out of this situation, so it was either power through or restart the whole damn DLC. Kinda annoyed that I didn’t get a warning for point of no return, but it was an epic boss fight non-the-less. Loved how the DLC ended and enjoyed the side stories involving returning characters from the main game. That’s where the fun ended, as I now had to go do the roguelite portion of the DLC. Absolutely pointless. I was terrified the whole time because you have to beat all of it in one sitting, including ONCE AGAIN ending in Odin. I got Rebirth PTSD because failing meant another 2 hours in the mines. Thankfully I beat it first try, even though I had several close calls with health. This was probably the least fun “roguelite DLC for a game that does not need a fucking roguelite mode” in recent memory. Just glad it is over. Bayonetta 1 & 2: My original work trip plan was Bayonetta 3, which I purchased in April and didn't get around to. However, I decided to play the entire trilogy because they are fun and fairly short. I had purchased Bayonetta 2 way back in 2018, and it came with the original game as a free download. Plus I wanted to give Bayonetta 2 a second opinion because I disliked it the first time around. I found Bayonetta 1 to be less fun than I remember. The combat was great, but the game looked very dated graphic-wise. I also felt like the story was ALL over the place and tough to follow, despite knowing most of it already. I ended up dropping my 2010 rating by a point. I’m very thankful I could pack it away after a playthrough and not have to spend another 30 hours cleaning up shit. Bayonetta 2 was mostly the same, with a new haircut and much better graphics. I did end up enjoying this more than I remember. I still don’t care much for Loki, but the story was easy to follow and the gameplay felt slightly better. I enjoy not being penalized for using health/power items. It was a perfectly fine extension and a nice, quick 7 hours to clear. This one is still Nintendo exclusive but had in-game achievements should it ever come to other consoles. Can’t see myself playing it again though. Bayonetta 3: It was very clear from the first mission that Bayo 3 was a step up from the previous 2. It looked gorgeous and Bayonetta got another hair glow up. The story was pretty good. Introducing a new threat while playing off the multiple timeline idea was enjoyable. The best thing to come out of that was seeing multiple Bayonettas. My favorite was easily the first timeline with her punk aesthetic and ponytail. Bought that skin and used it the entire game. This game also gave us a new playable character, an entire side story with Jeanne involving stealth, and a taste of the prequel game that I didn’t know existed until just two weeks ago. I’ll probably pick that up on my September trip and check it out. Back to the game: It was exceeding expectations very high in the first couple of missions. I loved the mission with punk timeline Bayonetta so much I got chills, which rarely happens in games. Love that “this is fucking epic” feeling you sometimes get when gaming. The next mission was nearly just as good, giving us a fucking TRAIN demon. That was so damn epic. I was starting to really like the ability to use demons mid-fight and not just during button spam cutscenes. Sadly, that is where Bayo 3 peaked and we started going downhill without a steering wheel. Once we got to Jeanne and the new character, I wasn’t feeling it. Didn’t care for Jeanne’s stealth missions and I didn’t want to play Sekiro with how Viola worked. I will say though, I loved Viola’s battle theme and seeing Cheshire for the first time was pretty cool. Even when I returned to Bayonetta, the levels were annoying to traverse and some overstayed length. I will also say that Bayo 3 has quite possible the worst collectible I have ever seen in my life. Chasing a cat for 10 minutes each level who is way faster than you and can turn any direction instantly was driving me nuts. Don’t care what kind of bonus levels we got for all collectibles, that shit is staying locked. Anyways, the ending was decent and showed a lot of revelations that I won’t spoil. I will say that between the ending and drama with her voice actress, I think Bayonetta is donezo. The ending left a lot of loose ends for potential spin offs, especially with Viola. Thumbs up overall, I was impressed with how long the game took, even if I complained about the final boss having thirteen health bars. Elden Ring – Shadow of the Erdtree (Spoilers ahead): Up to this point I’ve logged like 60 hours in June and I'm heading for the slowest gaming month of all time. Enter the main course: A DLC so large it could have been Elden Ring 2 and we would have paid $70 for it. I had definitely been waiting for this, but I also hampered my hype because I knew the pain we were going to be in for. I mistimed my download a little bit on release, not expecting a 15gb update on top of the DLC download, so I didn’t get started until about 12:45am that night. I wandered over to the first boss, a very easy NPC-like enemy. Between the 1-year rust, being kitted for fighting Malenia from May 2022, and not knowing if my weapons were even good, I died to that asshole like 18 times. It was very frustrating because of the usual “boss must be level 70,000 with all that stamina” or else I would have gotten him earlier. I seriously think some bosses need a stamina tune. After nearly a full hour of doing nothing but de-rusting, I finally killed him and turned it off for the night. What proceeded was popping into the game around 3pm the next day and playing for…12 straight hours. There are next to zero games that can make me do that nowadays, so I’m not even disgusted with myself. I fucked off in every direction, mumbling things like “how do I get there, what’s over here, what the fuck is that.” I also wasted no time throwing away the solo “git gud” mentality and stuck with my mimic tear for fights. This let me skirt through the first two main bosses within 5-8 tries. I was hanging out with a streamer I mod for the entire day, who was also playing the DLC. It was just an incredible comfy day and reminded me why I love gaming. I honestly would give anything for all gaming days to be that good. I spent my Saturday time with Mia as usual, but right after she left it was back to the Shadow Realm. Around this time, I kept seeing how important the scadtree fragments were. I decided to use a map and go around collecting all of them in the areas I cleared, as well as clean up any missed bosses. Sunday blinked by and this DLC had me wanting to leave work on Monday as soon as possible and get right back to it; I love that feeling and yearn for it. There were so many bosses and general areas I loved. Walking into the madness forest and seeing “Torrent cannot be summoned, he is frightened.” Then seeing a scary ass enemy ahead with warnings like “Do not fight it, you cannot run, hide and await your chance” all leading up to the giant ass creepy mansion and the oh so cool Midra fight…Holy fuck what a thrill. And having done all the NPC questlines, I was giddying during that all out NPC fight before reaching the final boss. All of that pales in comparison to my favorite encounter of the entire game. Igon, the man literally too angry to die. I summoned him for the Bayle fight and his dialog was a perfect 10. Igon’s yelling compared with how badass Bayle’s lightning transformation was gave me chills. When the boss goes down and Igon yells “YOU SHALL HAUNT ME, NO LONGER.” I was brought to near tears. Please give that voice actor a bonus. Bayle was one of the last main bosses I fought, simply because I got one-shot on my first visit lol. After Bayle, it was onward to the fissure for boss I missed and then the final area. I heard some pretty bad things about the final boss’s bullshitometer being off the charts, and can’t say I disagree. Phase 1 felt fair but phase 2 went beyond sicko mode with attacks sometimes reaching double digits before you’re allowed to breathe. Hope you didn’t need to heal, cause that was your two second one swing attack window! Unfortunately, even with max power, my mimic and I couldn’t survive. I gave the boss 30 attempts, reaching 40% of his health bar on 3-4 occasions. Not really wanting to be bullshitted any longer, I resorted to human players and it only took one. I summoned someone named “Let Me Tank Her” with the biggest shield I’ve ever seen. That person tanked the entire fight, barely ever taking damage. No doubt a character left over from helping others tank Malenia, what a bro. With that, all bosses were down. In what felt like an instant, I had put 42 hours into the DLC. Every boss defeated, every area explored. Another long 7 hour session and I finished collecting everything I missed. Every weapon obtained (with help from Scotty). Every armor set farmed out. Every single unique item picked up that didn’t need a second playthrough. I even slapped on some new incantations on tried them out. The wide halo ring seemed pretty good and the rot butterflies were pretty, but nothing compares to my trusty Halo Scythe. That thing carried me hard with its Ash of War. So lets get down to rating. A very solid 9. I can’t give it a perfect 10 because I have some gripes that can’t be ignored. First off, early game difficulty (and the final boss). While yes, most bosses could be beaten with some time and using all items at my disposal, the early game was abysmal and the final boss’s phase 2 is bullshit. I’ll still stand by that. I kinda blitz my way through most bosses thanks to Mimic and safety Miquella ring strats, so I missed some of the bullshit I’ve been hearing on the grapevine like General Gaius. My only other gripe was the map layout. They squeezed so much into such a small space that it was frustrating trying to find where to go. The multi-layer map pissed me off so much. It was impossible to see where to go from just looking at the map. Each time you looked down, there was another fucking place to figure out how to get to (aka Google). That’s the bigger source of gatekeeping the perfect 10. I enjoyed the massive amount of variety in enemies, new and old. I was okay seeing recycled bosses here and there because there felt like enough new bosses to offset and keep me entertained. Same with regular enemies and the music tracks. I forget which boss it was that had an absolutely epic score but I need to find it (maybe Midra?). Mizaki promised a DLC as big as Limgrave but we got like 2-3x that. Even with some areas not having much to loot or pick up, I still enjoyed exploring to the fullest. This has been the most hours I’ve put into a single player DLC possibly ever. If every game delivered $40 DLCs this good, gamers would be eating like kings and queens all year. Other activities in June include: Resident Evil 6 (9 Hours) – Started a co-op playthrough with Mia. We finished Leon’s story but still have 2(?) more campaigns. A little goofy on the action so far but still enjoyable. Zelda: A Link to the Past (7 Hours) – Twitch streams. Yugioh Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution (5 Hours) – Played this on my trip. It was easy to boot up and play a few matches, but damn is the game super slow. I got bored and finally started Bayonetta on day 3 of the trip. GSL Cleanup (3 Hours) – I played 21 GSL games for 21,000 Gamerscore. This was all earned on either June 8th or June 30th. I got boned by Cake Invaders so we’ll stuff that on July. Hidden Cats in Paris (1.5 Hours) – Third game in the series, not getting tired of them yet. I was slightly disappointed in the lack of apparent references, but it’s no biggie. Clone Hero (0.5 Hours) – No stream, just a quick jam session on a Discord night. Looking forward to July Resident Evil 6 with Mia. Continued GSL cleanup, including 50k during a special Twitch stream on July 5th. That should be interesting... Alan Wake DLC, maybe... Finally getting back to the PS4 backlog (fingers crossed).

Well, it's so far been a sweltering summer here, but the team is back to bring you some relief. Stay inside and game, because we have a ton of new content for you! First, we finally get to present to you an overhauled list of Staff Clubs. Most the Staff Clubs still contained ancient games from 360 and XBLA arcade, many of which were not available or not completable. It took a lot of work, but we were able to bring the Staff Clubs into the current generation of X1, XSX, and Windows games. There unfortunately are still some clubs where former staff members are lost to time, so their staff clubs are stuck as is, but we were able to overhaul the majority of them. You can check out them all using the links below. The Guide Links thread is the easiest way to browse through them all and see if you qualify for any new clubs. Staff Clubs Staff Club Guide Links Next up, we have a new Challenge Club for you. It's a bit of a ridiculous one, but I got inspired to make it during GSL when it felt like I was playing at least one new cat game every day. Even though I hate cats (by default, since I'm allergic to them), I present to you a new four tiered club: Feline Frenzy. I was surprised at how many different genres I was able to capture just from cat games, ranging from puzzle to shmup to ARPG to racing to Metroidvania. That's the bulk of the new content, but we've also made some updates to a few other clubs, mainly because of problematic achievements. Blasphemous has been replaced in both Where's My Map? and jeffy's Subscriber Club because its "platinum" achievement may decide to not unlock for you randomly, and you're completely screwed out of the completion if so. Jeffy has chosen to replace it with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (an excellent choice), and the Where's My Map? club has had some games shift around to accommodate. Castlevania Advance Collection has moved up to Tier 5 to take the place of Blasphemous, Axiom Verge was bumped up to Tier 4, and Tales of Kenzera: Zau was newly added to the club In Going Rogue, UnderMine in Tier 4 has similarly seen ongoing achievement issues that have not been resolved, so we've made the choice to replace it with the highly acclaimed Inscryption. Also in Going Rogue, since Balatro has become one of the highest rated and most popular roguelikes out there, we have added it into Tier 5 in place of Atomicrops. I hope you like card games! Lastly, one other change we've made is in preparation for the 360 store closing in July. The Challenge/Franchise clubs are unaffected, and now that the Staff Clubs are overhauled they aren't affected either, but with Subscriber Clubs, we have pulled all non-BC XBLA games from them so that they are still mostly all completable until we overhaul them. Take this opportunity to potentially join some while their requirements are eased off a bit. Here is a list of the impacted clubs, along with what has been removed. Bare Bum Cheeks' Sub Club - Bomberman Live has been removed Capn Doug's Sub Club - Minecraft (360) has been removed exit9500's Sub Club - Totemball and Trouble Witches Neo have been removed Floyd's Sub Club - Minecraft (360) and Bastion (XBLA) have been removed kaleido42's Sub Club - Gel: Set and Match and Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes have been removed Puzzler's Sub Club - Rez HD has been removed Hopefully you enjoy the new content. The next big undertaking will be to overhaul the Subscriber Clubs. Stay tuned for that later this year. Some other new clubs might also be on the docket. As always, if you have any ideas or suggestions for new clubs, we would love to hear about them! - XBA Staff

Good job on all the hard work that went into changing the staff clubs. I saw the thread with Necro and co's notes and it looked about like this: Love the new club, looks like I am 2 easy games and a Catlateral Damage replay away from Tiers 1 & 2! Good thing there's a new thorough guide on Catlateral Damage, maybe it will be quicker than my PS4 stack.

Hello, everyone. I doubt anyone will remember me, but I have returned after a long hiatus. My original account was no longer accessible (since the e-mail address associated with it was closed down years ago), so I have made the decision to start anew. Some of you might remember me as an XBox gamer that switched to PC. But now... I am both a PC AND console gamer. Along with my PC (which is rocking a Ryzen 7 7700X and an RTX 4070), I have a Switch OLED and just last month I bought myself an XBox Series X for my birthday. For the first time in 10 years, I'm playing on XBox again... and all I can say is, it feels good to be back!

Apology is unnecessary. I imagine creating guides like these takes a lot of time and effort, so instead let me thank you for writing it in the first place. Besides I assume another play through shouldn't take too long since I already know all puzzle solutions and will be skipping all dialogue.

It’s good to see that these clubs have been modernized. Thanks @Necrophage33 for doing a lot of the legwork with contacting former and current staff and putting this together. 👍

Thank you. Nice to see that it is still going.

Finally got this in 2024 using the Comm room strategy. Once I went downstairs and got the Thompson, I camped out by the Doctor's Quarters door and started looking for perks at Storage and Fishing Hut. Ended up having to open all 4 doors but got both perks and the browning and wunderwaffe. Used wunder to run straight and shot and zombies running at me that I couldn't juke and the Browning once I went back inside the building. Got to round 28 when the achievement popped and died during the next dog round. used the little alcove between Doctor's and Storage as I opened Doctor's door with betties.

Thanks. I got the game in 2017 but didn't play to long. I've played a ton of Destiny 1 since June 2022 including getting 100% and all characters 400 and now thought about coming back since the Destiny 1 servers are so jancky.

I'm hoping it's only this forum that is dead and not the game itself for online play.

🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣 The wait is finally (almost) over. It's (almost) Elden Ring DLC time.

Still dinking around in that newer Fallout 4 save with around 270,000 caps to my name (and who knows how much more in items stored in my home base). Finished the set up for ultimate scrounging so overencumbrance means nothing to me, allowing me to grab literally everything not nailed down each time I clear a location. But reaching a million caps will certainly take a while and I'll probably re-100% the game before then, as I've cleared like 80% of the base map so far. The game continues to be broken with the next-gen update. Had an amusing encounter with a Mirelurk Queen the other day, where after spawning, she just aggressively T-Posed at me instead of fighting. As for other games, I did finish up the last grinds on Catan. Near the end I did just switch all players to human and the other slots just fed me what I needed to build as the AI seemed to get super petty and was doing everything it could so I couldn't build roads. Also finally got around to finishing that stupid mahjong game. Thankfully, the later levels went faster than the earlier ones as the gimmicky designs made them easier to complete and less likely to be dealt an impossible board. Next was A Short Hike. Fun, relaxed little game. Had some funny dialogue and nothing too taxing but did need to use a guide to find all the plants to water. Not a bad way to spend a few hours. Another shorter one to get off the backlog was Little Misfortune. Had some good, funny moments, but you just want to reach out and adopt the main character the more you discover just how shitty and abusive her home life is. Like, one of her favorite toys is a blood-stained rock that she got as a "gift" from her dad when he hurled it at her in a drunken rage. So, be prepared for some really dark humor as you play this one. As for non-xbox stuff, I started up the Super Mario RPG remake for the Switch. Still pretty fun, but the timing on a lot of stuff is different, so muscle memory is a pain. Still can't do the Yoshi races worth shit in either version though. And in the grind of Coloring Pixels on Steam, I'm now at 760/1695 achievements, so I'm still plucking away there.

Been a while since I posted. Finished up the story in Jedi Survivor, really enjoyed it, especially the improvements over Fallen Order. Couldn't be bothered with the collectibles so called it despite not getting all achievements. Started up Maneater as my next mindless game and it's good, silly fun. Also went ahead and bought the year 4 pass for SnowRunner. First map is really enjoyable. Glad the devs actually listen to player feedback and implement requested changes.

Finished the story in Final Fantasy XV, getting all the base game achievements except for the royal edition stuff, since i dont have that dlc. I have a bunch of other dlc episodes but played through one and got over it pretty quick. Will jump back in eventually to finish those off but having a break for now. I got the last achievement i needed to complete Puzzle Quest 3 finally! Then the very same day they released a new update with a couple more achievements, one of which is unobtainable until more content is released haha. I have also been playing a bit of Gems of War, catching up on like a year or more worth of content i had missed and working towards those grindy achievements. Still playing Magic the Gathering as well. Found a new place to play since i moved too far from my old games shop, but this new place is a lot less structured and results in less games being played. So i started looking into alternatives to play online or against AI. There is MtG Arena, which is free and official, but i dont like having to collect all the cards again that i have in real life. Going to trial out XMage, which is another free way to play that i have heard good things about.

Thank you going offline seems to have done the trick

I've had a little look online and there was someone who had the same issue with a different game, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. There was a suggestion made for after you have gone through the 'delete everywhere' process to then put your console offline and then start the game up and make a save. Once you go back online, the newer save file should overwrite any older ones lurking on the console or in the cloud. Another suggestion is to cancel synchronization when it pops up in game, although I don't know if that's the same for all games. I have no experience with this first-hand so I can only share with you what I had found while searching for a solution. Source: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/impossible-to-delete-cloud-saves/60f88e29-efbd-4ebd-b734-afa88142be49

Got us a player 3. My girlfriend gave birth last Tuesday to a baby boy!

Finished up Mirage today and I will say it was a pretty fun completion. Can't wait too see if Ubisoft will deliver or disappoint with the next game. Stay tuned...

Haven't been on the forum in years nice to see it's still active! Also achievement tracking now, nice! Currently playing through Baldurs Gate 3, I've just finished Act II. My character is a Dark Urge Wood Elf Bard, really enjoying it although I kinda regret my class as I'm struggling with damage output, I'm more used as a distraction/annoyance on the battlefield as Karlach and Laezel are my heavy hitters and Shadowheart my healer. It's nice to play my violin for everyone though. Act 3 is apparently 40-50 hours long so guess I'm only half way through 😂.

Thanks mate! I did get very lucky on both counts. Baby sleeps through the night, but im getting older and struggle to stay up much later than her haha. Was definitely easier to stay up late 13 years ago when i had my first one.

http://i50.tinypic.com/vosak5.jpg About Guide This guide is aimed to help you effortlessly and flawlessly find all of the collectibles in Alan Wake. They are listed in the exact order as you should collect them. I have color coordinated them to make it easier to keep your spot. You will want to frequently check your stats screen to make sure you are 100% sure you have gotten the collectibles. I wrote it in a fashion that you should stop after finding a collectible, and read where the next is before continuing on with the game. I have included the Nightmare modes in the list, and as sepsrate at the bottom of the guide depending on what's easier for you to tackle it. I wrote them for you to ignore completely on your first playthrough, so don't worry about getting lost if you don't read them. Also, you if you want to have both pages up, check out the achievement guide HERE if you're going for all 1000 points in the game. Though if you don't use it, you will still most likely get all of the achievements anyways. I will attach a copy of the Word Document version of this guide. It might be a good idea so that you can highlight/delete the collectibles you get. It will be in the last post with the Radio Show info. I will also try to post any updates if there are errors, but they will not be contained in that document. Download the document but read the updates posted there too. KEY Coffee Thermos = Brown (100 total) Manuscript = Blue (91 total) TV Show = Pink (14 total) Radio Show = Green (11 total) Sign = Orange (25 total) Supply Chest = Red (30 total) Nightmare Mode Manuscript = Aqua (15 total) Can Pyramid = Grey (12 total) *You only need 5 for an achievement* Misc = Purple (Outlines various achievements that aren't collectible related) Important Info About These Collectibles: The collectibles are different in their own ways as far as your game keeping track of them. When replaying chapters, any thermos that you found will not appear. Radios, TVs, Can Pyramids, Signs, Supply Chests, and Manuscripts will all be in the game again. Manuscripts and Radios have a feature to see what ones you have and read/listen to them again in the main menu. It's a nice way to be able to keep track of what you have. None of the other collectibles offer this kind of support. Checkpoints: When you hit a checkpoint, in your mind pretend that you just manually saved your game. Now picture you had forgotten a collectible and backtracked after saving. If you die or reload your checkpoint save, you will essentially lose the data you had found. The same goes for ammo you collect, many times you will find yourself recollecting ammo right next to a checkpoint, because the game saved as you arrived. However, kill statistics save automatically, as well as manuscripts. Always remember when in doubt, check your stats. This hold especially true for signs, as they aren't physically collected. Sometimes you must read more than one sign for it to count, so always check after signs! Missable Achievement Info: To make things as easy as possible, as you follow the guide you will also run into every missable achievement, at the point in time you need to know about them. The only achievements not listed are story related and combat related. Conclusion: As you can see, there is a lot of text in the collectible guide. I tried to be as descriptive as I could, so even if there are unmissable looking collectibles, realize some people can stray off in the game. The game sometimes has a few short cuts or different routes other than the main route. If you notice any major grammatical error, improper description, or even if I colored one of the collectibles wrong, please refrain from listing it in this thread. Instead, send me a PM and I'll fix it. The Signal DLC Update: If you have downloaded the Signal DLC and would like a collectibles guide for that, you may go to the link here: "The Signal: Color Coded Guide and Video". It's set up to make sure you get all of those collectibles too.

Coffee Thermos (93/100): After the poltergeists on the big bridge, you’ll be let back in a vehicle. Avoid what you can and you’ll notice a barn on the left with a bright light in it.

It’s on the porch. Nightmare Manuscript (104/106): The barn with the extremely bright lights in it (there’s a monster truck driving around in the fields there). It’s on the top floor of the barn.

This is the last of the normal game mode’s manuscripts. You will unlock the achievement “Picking Up After Yourself”. The Dark Place Coffee Thermos (100/100): Once you have defeated the tornado you will be in your apartment. After a cut scene once you’ve done the objectives, you’ll be in another weird sequence.

Conclusion You have found all collectibles except possibly the Nightmare Manuscripts. On your second run through the game, remember to pick these up.

You can use either one or both.

Radio Show (4/11): As you run down the path heading for “Lover’s Peak”, you will find a radio inside of the first cabin you see on route. TV Show (4/14): Continue along the path, and you’ll find a second cabin. Kick the door in and take a break to watch the show. Manuscript (17/106): Once you’re back on the trail, you’ll find a phone booth. Go towards the booth and follow the trail. It’s in the gazebo. Manuscript (18/106): Return to the normal path and find this manuscript behind the car (which either crashed or ran out of gas) on the side of the road. Coffee Thermos (21/100): Continue on the trail and some pretty loud event happens, and you must help Rusty. Instead of rushing to his aid, you’ll see another car that looks like it crashed before you get to the concrete area. The wooden storage shed right next to it contains the thermos. Manuscript (19/106): From the coffee thermos, head out the shed door and continue straight under the fallen tree. It will be to your right on the short rock wall. Coffee Thermos (22/100): After you obtain the keys from Rusty, run towards the opposite building (the Park Ranger Office) and instead of going inside, run to the left of it. Behind the building in front of a tree is the thermos. Manuscript (20/106): After the thermos, now head inside the building. As soon as you enter, you’ll see it shining brightly at the end of a hallway to your right. Manuscript (21/106): After a phone conversation with Barry, you’ll find yourself at a very bright light with a with a picnic table made of logs by it. It’s right on the table. Sign (4/25): You’ll eventually come to a wooden bridge after some steps with a river far below. Instead of heading right to Lover’s Peak, continue on the wooden area which leads into the cave. You’ll go through a gate door first, then you’ll find the sign towards the back of the cave. Supply Chest (5/30): While traveling in the Moonshine cave you might notice the yellow arrows pointing to the end of the cave, which contains the chest. You will get the “Finders Keepers” achievement here for grabbing your 5th chest in the game. (Contains lithium batteries). Manuscript (22/106):You’ll come to another bridge over the water, and take a right at the fork in the road (Lover’s Peak is to your left). At the end of the trail and in front of two picnic tables, you’ll find it on the ground. Sign (5/25): After being introduced to the new type of enemy (the brute guy which takes more shots to take down) you’ll come to a tree that has a hollowed bottom that you can walk through. The sign is right in front of it and read “The Great Old One”. Coffee Thermos (23/100): You’ll soon come to yet another bridge, this one with a bright light above it, which turns off (you can turn it back on with a generator). There is a path to the right of it with a small picnic area. Run past the broken phone booth and jump over the broken part of the fence to get the thermos on the rocks. (You’ll see another thermos you can’t get yet below, but that’s not a good idea to jump from that point). Manuscript (23/106): Back on path, right below a directional sign that says “Lover’s Peak”. Coffee Thermos (24/100): Eventually you’ll come to a Safe Haven light and can’t continue the normal route to Lover’s Peak (there’s a tree that fell on the gate). You can however jump the fence to the left, but instead you’ll want to take the path leading to the right of this area first. There is a thermos by a readable sign on a picnic table. Sign (6/25): Right after the above thermos, read the sign that says “Dates from 1846, the year of the Oregon Treaty”. It’s extremely easy to notice, as it’s by a section of a tree trunk cut out and hanging by chains. Manuscript (24/106): After jumping the fence by the blocked gate to Lover’s Peak, run directly straight (to the left of the wooden path) and you’ll find it on the rock. Coffee Thermos (25/106): At one point you’ll have to use flares to fend off attackers as “the kidnapper” tries to unlock a gate staircase type structure. Go up the structure and you’ll come to an archway with a heart on the top. This is Lover’s Peak, and is just cool scenic overlook. Next to the archway is a map, and the coffee thermos is behind the map. Once obtained you’ll receive the “Damn Good Cup of Coffee” achievement. Supply Chest (6/30): After the scene that takes place at Lover’s Peak and you’ve fallen to the section below, turn around and see a bright blue waterfall. Run down the steep rock area and you’ll see the chest to the left in a small cavern. (Contains flares and batteries). Manuscript (25/106): Head back along the normal path after the chest and you’ll come to a fallen tree bridge. Right in front of it in plain sight is the manuscript. You will receive the “Paging Mr. Wake” achievement. Manuscript (26/100): You’ll eventually travel on a trail full of bear traps. You’ll find yourself in an open area with a water mill in sight, and the manuscript at the edge of the cliff. Can Pyramid (3/12): From the last manuscript you got, turn around and to your left on a barrel are the cans. Coffee Thermos (26/100): After crossing the logs over the water, and going upwards to a generator you can turn on to create a Safe Haven, you’ll see a shack behind the generator. The thermos is inside. Manuscript (27/106): Coming from the last said shack, you’ll see a second shack. It has the manuscript as well as a hunting rifle inside.

Episode 1 A Writer’s Dream Coffee Thermos (1/100): The first collectible is located just moments after you are able to move. Run down the road until you get to the broken bridge (sign says “Welcome to Night Springs above bridge). It is in clear view. Can Pyramid (1/12): The “light” will give you a gun. The cans are on the fence to the right for target practice (well, not technically since the game doesn’t mention them). Coffee Thermos (2/100): After grabbing the flare out of the red emergency box (you will have killed a few enemies after the tutorial on how to fight), you will see stairs leading down into a small concrete building. It is on top of the crate. If by accident you dropped off the side where you have to fight 3 enemies, you will have to use the rock by the ledge you fell from. Hop on the rock, facing the wall. Turn 90 degrees to face the other edge, and jump towards it, hitting the jump button a few times to get back up. Coffee Thermos (3/100): On the path to the lighthouse, you will have to run from a tornado. On the right side just before the lighthouse you will see a bench with the thermos on it. Welcome to Bright Falls Coffee Thermos (4/100): After a cut scene you will be in a diner. As soon as your obsessed fan Rose stops talking (kind of) run to the neon “Oh Deer Diner” sign you’re facing. You will have to run to the left, as the right side is blocked off. Misc: Notice the juke box in the diner and make sure you press the button on it to make it play. Specifically make sure you hit the button after coming back from the rest room area, after meeting the lady in black. There will be another time listed later on where you get an achievement for pressing it again. Coffee Thermos (5/100): Another cut scene after the diner will ensue. When you’re at the bridge that says Diver’s Isle on the sign, (when you’ve reached the cabin after the cut scene) turn around and run back up the hill a ways until you get to your car and a focus action sequence about the island is available. There will be the thermos in front by the cliff. Radio Show (1/11): Once you have gotten across the bridge you will find Bird Leg Cabin. Head inside and out the back door to the porch. It will be just to your right. Coffee Thermos (6/100): Return inside the cabin and take a right into the kitchen. It is on the counter next to the left of the stove. Waking Up to a Nightmare Manuscript (1/106): On your way to the gas station after another car mishap, you will enter a cut scene which gives you the first two manuscripts. This cannot be missed. Manuscript (2/106): You get this automatically along with the first manuscript. Nightmare Mode Manuscript (92/106): Going towards your main objective, you will find a fence to the lumber mill that you must jump over. There’s a tree that’s on the damaged fence. Look to the left, it’s in plain view on the other fallen tree. (NOTE: THIS WILL ONLY APPEAR ON YOUR SECOND PLAY IN NIGHTMARE MODE). Coffee Thermos (7/100): After traveling to the first lumber yard after the car incident, you will be greeted with a short cut scene with Stucky. Afterwards, run under/through the claws of the yellow “Log Loader” and you’ll find it behind the white pickup truck. Manuscript (3/106): From the last thermos, turn around and head straight a short ways and stop when you take your left. It is on the ground in front of you. Supply Chest (1/30): After the little wooden building gets knocked off the cliff (you have to jump out of it via the door space before it actually falls), head straight towards a gate killing the two enemies. You can go left and follow the truck carrying the logs and find the chest tucked away there. There are a bunch of yellow arrows to show you the way if you shine your light on them. There is even a light you turn on (to your right) the shows the first arrow to follow. (Contains a flare gun). Manuscript (4/106): After the first chest, you will jump a fence (after you’ve kicked the electrical box). Move forward and defeat the enemy. Look left and up a hill and you will see a small structure with a rusty tractor sticking out of it. It is on the wall. Coffee Thermos (8/100): Shortly after the manuscript you will be crossing above a river over a fallen tree (that ends up looking like a bird leg). Once you step off of the fallen tree, head to your left. Keep running almost until you reach the end. The thermos is on a rock to your right. Manuscript (5/106): After grabbing the thermos, head straight back, crossing the rocks over the river. Keep heading straight and to the right, and you’ll end up crossing tree trunks laid down creating a bridge. It’s to your right after crossing, by the barrel. Nightmare Mode Manuscript (93/106): After you have crossed the log bridges you will see it on your path as you move along the last rocks crossing the river. (NOTE: THIS WILL ONLY APPEAR ON YOUR SECOND PLAY IN NIGHTMARE MODE). Supply Chest (2/30): Once you climb up away from the river, and fight two enemies, you notice a sign that says “Caution”. Go left here and up the ladder on the logs. There are yellow arrows (when light is on them) in various parts to point you in the right direction. Continue up to the shack and it’s in the back. (Contains lithium batteries). Coffee Thermos (9/100): After grabbing the supply chest, head back and you’ll get to the broken wooden stairs. There is a power box that has a red light blinking if you turn left after the stairs. After examining it, turn facing the opposite direction, and run straight until you see it on a rock to your right. Manuscript (6/106): After heading towards the generator you must power up, next to it is a small shed. Go in and it’s on the table in front of you. There is also a shotgun on the shelves to the right. Can Pyramid (2/12): After you’ve started the generator and have gone across the logs you made accessible with the crane, run to the broken bridge to the right and you’ll find the cans stacked on a table. Radio Show (2/11): Head up the hill after the broken bridge towards the light. There is an easy to spot radio on a barrel inside the shack. There is also shotgun ammo on the window opening.
