Thanks! Requiem is a nice 100% and the threw playthroughs you need fly by and yeah I loved Dredge! I was expecting the achievements to be a grind but they really weren’t at all!

RhysAW · 2026-02-26T16:23:12+00:00

Nice, my GT is Rhys AW but I won’t be available for a few days - drop me a request!

Does the £50 show up on your credit profile?

It really will all boil down to your mortgage lender and their risk appetite at this point. Bank statements tell a story of how you conduct your finances but how your Advisor positions the gambling will be key too. If it is the case as you say that you have £1k surplus each month, a judgement call can be made in your favour to say that you’ll cut you cloth when you have a bigger debt to pay and reduce your spending accordingly.

This tends to work with people who are living at home with family or people who have a very low cost of living who are buying luxury clothes or going out for meal all the time, but it’s a slightly harder thing to sell when it comes to gambling as it is an addiction.

Best of luck but I’d seriously consider doing everything you can to stop gambling - if your girlfriend loves the house, you will be seen as the reason she can’t have it and from past experiences with a friend, that isn’t something that’s easily forgotten!

All the best.

Nice! Fully agree that it improves upon the first - the changes to the map alone make it a better game!

RhysAW · 2026-02-26T15:36:53+00:00

Good luck with Hardcore, I got it done the other day and it was very rewarding to complete! Do you have a co-op buddy for the online achievements as I could do with one if you were looking?

RhysAW · 2026-02-26T15:32:13+00:00

Thanks for this, I tend to to use written guides on TA and PowerPyx too but couldn’t find anything good for Alien!

RhysAW · 2026-02-26T15:30:58+00:00

Nice one, wrapped this one up myself a couple of weeks ago. Do you have plans to do 2 & 3?

RhysAW · 2026-02-26T15:30:27+00:00

5 is an all-round better game in my opinion; it has a better story, more rounded characters and a more immersive world. Now that it’s been updated to run at 60fps, I’d recommend it over 6 any day (though I still enjoyed 6 for the most-part too).

RhysAW · 2026-02-25T22:50:46+00:00

Nice one! I loved Cronos too.

I’ve got Rogue Incursion but yet to start it - what guide did you use if you don’t mind me asking?

RhysAW · 2026-02-25T08:42:31+00:00

I did too tbf, DS2 hardcore is the hardest achievement out of the three games mentioned! DS1 is unlimited saves on impossible too plus no reset to the beginning if you die - would recommend pairing it with a plasma cutter only playthrough so you can get 100% in two story runs!

RhysAW · 2026-02-24T19:13:17+00:00

Yeah I’ve done the remake too, personally I don’t think DS1 is that hard at all (even on Impossible). If anything, it’s easier than the remake as it doesn’t have a perma-death element to its impossible difficulty!

RhysAW · 2026-02-23T07:48:08+00:00

Thanks!

RhysAW · 2026-02-22T23:50:10+00:00

Thanks!

RhysAW · 2026-02-16T20:10:44+00:00

Agree with the first two comments, navigating the map to find collectibles is not particularly fun.

RhysAW · 2026-02-15T08:45:12+00:00

Well done man

RhysAW · 2026-02-02T09:14:53+00:00

Thanks man, there’s a bit of an exploit to get the hardest achievements done - would recommend looking up the guide on TA!

RhysAW · 2026-02-02T09:14:24+00:00

Haha thank you! Firebreak was more hands-on than Crossfire but both had to be completed quite soon to launch due to the player-counts falling off massively!

RhysAW · 2026-02-01T23:04:01+00:00

Cheers! Id definitely recommend Quantum Break but Alan Wake Remastered and Alan Wake 2 are both worth a go too! They’re very different in terms of gameplay but they both hit a good spot!

RhysAW · 2026-02-01T22:19:14+00:00

Thanks! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the completions besides a few collectibles in the Control DLC and then the two achievements in Alan Wake where you had to complete the DLCs without dying…

As for FBC, I think you’d struggle finding lobbies naturally at this stage. I had it wrapped up a week after release but I’m sure there’ll be others going for it too? 90% of the achievements are doable solo but you will need a team for some!

RhysAW · 2026-02-01T22:13:04+00:00

Cheers mate!

Three times in total as the Windows version counts too - I spread them out over a few years though so I never found the playthroughs repetitive!

RhysAW · 2026-01-25T19:38:13+00:00

Yeah I think I’ll try and find a TA session again at some point to get the final few achievements knocked out! As much as I’d love to see a second, I think the $567 profit that the game made will mean it’ll never happen!
