Did you use the bonus disc?

There is a director commentary sort of thing that takes a bit to install from the disc so maybe it is that. I'll possibly try out Nightmare with that option on.

About the coffee thermos thought I picked most of them but just over half. Is it like the manuscripts where it's hidden if not in nightmare mode?

Playing the game very slowly although I am cheating with a collectible guide for the thermos flasks. Only on episode 2 after getting it on Saturday - busy weekend with work though. In answer to your question you can pick up the flasks outside of nightmare mode, playing on hard and i already have 31 flasks after episode 2.

edit: reason i'm cheating with the guide is because the statistics don't tell you which episodes you're missing flasks from.

Some parts later on I do run out of certain ammo. The hunting rifle or shotgun you will go through very fast but at least the revolver usually have ammo. There is one part with construction lights towards the end and each time you switch it on, the Taken will come so I ran out of revolver ammo and had a few shotgun. That wasn't very fun, had to rely on flashbangs and flares.

Certain encounters with the Taken it is better to just run to the light.

Always search for ammo and especially pick up all the flash bangs. You have to time when to throw as sometimes they do not go off immediately.

I think I want to replay nightmare just so I can go to the farm again biggrin.gif I'm loving all the Poets of the Fall (aka Old Gods of Asgard) songs. Wanna get their albums.

You managed to make it all the way from the dam to Cauldron Lake without firing a single bullet.

Doing this achievement is a lot of fun - really adds to the suspense. And you don't need ammo!

The most annoying part is the coffee thermoses if you're into collecting the collectibles. For the manuscripts it's easy to tell which ones you have missed. You can't with the coffee thermoses.

Still.. it's not that difficult to 1000/1000 this game.

Personally, I feel that Alan wake is a rental. There is not much replayability apart from the nightmare replay. It's a short but very enjoyable ride while it lasts though.
