  • Annotations are on-screen to help with finding videos.
  • Check your total collectible progress at any time by pressing the Menu button.
  • The game will automatically save any collectibles that you get immediately (except for Weapon Upgrades), so don't worry about dying, or restarting a checkpoint.
  • You can see an in-depth tracker of all the collectibles from the main menu under Statistics.

Guide is basically complete. All collectibles are in there, and most of the stuff is formatted. We are at 99%. Just have to edit the introduction, and add a few more videos for the "missable" achievements in the game.

 

Hopefully this is good for now though!

 

On the third level, War Diary number 5 is not in the game for me, but War Diary X counted as number 5 when I picked it up. Did they change this in an update or is something glitched here? :confused:

 

Hmm, very weird. Wonder if it has something to do with the Objectives or Optional Objectives. Maybe has to do with reloading the checkpoint, or killing a certain enemy?

 

No idea why it wasn;t there for you, but I'm glad that "War Diary X" counted in your game towards the ticker.

 

If someone else can comment and confirm/deny this, that'd be great.

I can confirm this happened to me as well. Number 5 was not there, but Diary X counted as 5. Finished level 100%.

 

 

Make, love all your guides. Could use a full achievement guide. I'm having trouble with the kills with flint triggered explosives. I also think this guide should be pinned.

And I just confirmed it's all good because the achievement for half the War Diaries unlocked at the same time Maka got it in the videos.

 

Now I just have to play Siwa Oasis all over again because I screwed up the general kill and if you load the checkpoint the game glitches and go straight to a fail screen every time. AWESOME :mad:

I've had others confirm what you said as well...

 

Seems like it's most people. Weird.

 

I've left a note here, in the video description, in the comments and I'll add an annotation. Noticed there was a problem when it was the only video with dislikes and there were 7...

Just finished the game and all achievements unlocked fine so nobody needs to worry. :)

 

Awesome guide as always Maka! Can't believe your videos for this game have so little views and likes. Sniper Elite is such an awesome game, and it's not like we have a lot of options to choose from on the One and PS4 right now. :p

 

But keep up the good work, the few of us that do enjoy good games appreciate what you do! :drunk

They are preforming as well as I expected them to, based on the popularity of the game and the fact that I got it 3-5 days after those in Europe.

 

Not every video series can have 10,000+ views/video in the first week.

 

Just not sure how long I can realistically keep making guides for most games that come out...

 

On Mission 3 I cannot get War Diary 5 or War Diary X to appear at all.

 

Sorry, I have no idea what causes this. I think it might have something to do with Hunt the Grey Wolf DLC. Installing it seems to cause a lot of different problems, for a lot of different people.

have you tried restarting the level? if that doesn't work you might need to start over...

Yep resetting the level did the trick.

All I can say to this is: october is less than 3 months away... :rolleyes:

 

I don't know how I'm going to play everything that will come out in October, I can't imagine trying to make guides for most of the stuff. :p

Eventually, you're going to have to pick and choose which games you make guides for, but no matter what, those of us who use your guides know that YOUR GUIDES are among the best of the best.

 

If you're asking which games you should make guides for though, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, AC: Unity, and Far Cry 4 are probably the ones I know I'll need a bit of guided help with ;)

 

I'm just betting that with all of those being open-world with collectibles, I'll definitely need some guidance :D

From September 30 until November 18, we have:

 

Forza Horizon 2

Alien Isolation

Dragon Age Inquisition

Shadow of Mordor

Battlefield Hardline

Evolve

Evil Within

Sunset Overdrive

Call of Duty

Halo Collection

Far Cry 4

 

All great games and all of them might have collectibles or some kind of achievements that could use a guide. Maka as plenty to choose and he can't go wrong. :p It's been years since the last time we had so many great game releases at the same time.

Here's my list:

I'll be covering things made by Microsoft, Ubisoft & Activision for sure as those are the publishers that will actually send me games.

 

As for the others, probably can;t even afford them, but I'll try my best.

 

I guess we'll see where this YouTube thing will go, but I can;t afford to be buying all these games and putting 30-80+ hours per game for videos. Takes its toll on the body, and it's hard to find motivation when you do it for 2 weeks, let alone 2 months...
