So, I really love this game. One of my favorites now actually. However....
Stuff like this is very irritating. "For screenshot #12 - go to The Gym 3x.". That means you had to of gone to the gym in both the previous chapters. So, you have to play the ENTIRE game over again just for one collectable. You have to have gone Hiking in the first two to get another. So, imo, that is rather ridiculous. I think that's a bit too much. I don't see how that is enjoyable, a game is supposed to be fun, not make you play the entire thing over for one little thing.
There are also specific things you need to do to unlock other things, but the game doesn't tell you what they are. So, you come on here and have to comb through page after page to find out what it is. Could someone compile all of this into a walkthrough? No, not the mod, the mod doesn't tell you things like that. The game needs a Hint system to tell you how to unlock things.
The Achievement should be clickable to tell you what you need to know when you click on it to unlock it. It's not enjoyable to have to come on here every time I play this game to figure things out.
People are also posting images to where the little guy collectable is located, but they are posting them individually in a thread and makes it real hard to d/l. Maybe put them in a .zip so people can d/l them.
So... few things to unpack here.
First of all, the unlockable secret scenes are extras, they don't have any effect on the main story. So if you're not a fan of collectibles, just play through the game normally and that's it. And if you're the type of person who does enjoy collectibles, you can have fun finding them all.
Secondly, the game indeed doesn't tell you how to unlock everything as that would nullify the point. It wouldn't be an achievement if the game told you exactly how to get it. And if you still do need help with some of them, there is an official walkthrough available for patrons which covers pretty much every topic.
The weekend activities go up to five stages, and you will eventually be able to do multiple of them. If you want to unlock the secret scenes right now, you'll have to do multiple playthroughs, but this won't be necessary in the future when there are more weekend opportunities.
Lastly, imo things like collectibles and achievements are a great way to incentivize players to see more of the game, especially when you have many choices and paths. Otherwise a lot of the content will never be seen by many players. Still, it is all optional, if you don't enjoy trophy hunting and unlocking 100% of a game you really don't have to. You can still enjoy everything that the main story has to offer.
