Then you are missing out on much of the game. They may be "extras", but if you don't do it then you are missing out on part of the game and images, etc. I actually really do enjoy collectables, but having to replay a game multiple times to get them is not enjoyable, nor fun. Collectables should be fun, as should the game. Sure, some can be a bit secret, but there should be hint in how to obtain them. Otherwise no one would know, unless they came on here and read through all the pages, which is not fun. You get one thing left to find/collect and have NO idea how to figure it out, because there is no hint, so you have to come on here, which is not something someone should have to do. Not everyone has hours and hours of time to set playing a game over and over and over either.
An Achievement can mean many things. Having a simple hint in how to obtain it is a good thing, and lets you know about it. It's not really an Achievement if you had no way of even knowing about it in the first place and only found out about it on here.
I understand about the weekend events. I see how you are thinking for future. That is fine.
It's a great game, really it is, but I would just like more hints and information in how to do things INSIDE the game, not having to come on here to get the information. Not having to replay over and over to obtain things either, because I have a life/job/etc, and other games to play.
