There is always a bone of contention when people ask questions... and in my opinion it is so easily solved, but some people that rant on about it need to see it "sometimes" from the other searchers perspective.

1, If a thread is IMHO over 100 pages and has a lot of changes / content, it really can take ages finding exactly what you are after, I personally see no harm in asking.

2, If a person doesnt want to help a person find something, dont reply to it. Simply ranting on to the user to use the search doesnt help you look any smarter I can assure you. This goes both ways as well, if a person is asking for something truely obvious, leave them alone for a while and they soon will try and find it themselves. Ranting to get people to use the search just agrivates everyone.

This thread is almost 850 pages of posts since Holiday island was first released. Conservatively I would say 300+ pages are filled with the same question(s). In my opinion, that eliminates your reasoning that ignoring said posts will nudge the poster(s) to searching for themselves. Face it, people are lazy and refuse to use the available tools, such as Guides, FAQ's, 'Search', etc. when they play the game. Pick almost any game on F95Zone and the biggest complaint in that game's thread will be people continuing to ask the same questions over and over again.

Worse is that often an answer is followed by a complaint that their questioned wasn't answered fast enough or completely enough. You don't see 'no harm in asking'? I suggest you spend a day helping others to play the game and try and answer all the questions. If you still feel the same way, I'll gladly tip my hat to you. Then, instead of ranting that the search function be used, I'll direct them to message you directly.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but I can tell you why you are getting pushback from some players even though you've made it so a box can be checked.

I won't spend hours in trying to find a fix for something that doesn't need one, just so that some are happy that they have done all achievements in one playthrough. Certainly not crazy things like player leaving the island and coming back, just to be able to get the achievement.
The use of persistent data solves the main problem of not being able to see the scene in your current playthrough. I could count the stuff you got through persistent data too, but that would lead to other problems. There could be scenes that you might still get within your current playthrough (but haven't yet). If you have seen them already in another playthrough, they would still count as "done".
This is something that cannot be done in a way that makes everyone happy, so you will just have to life with it.

I haven't finished replaying the game from the start, so I can neither confirm or deny how the achievement count will finish.

The resolution fix has always worked in the past. Is it possible you named the text file you created wrong? Sometimes, if you do not have your file extensions visible, you might end up with a file with a double txt extension. Without a Traceback I'm just guessing.

Maybe combine it into a seperate it into another section like intro memories. Taking Joy and whichever plane girl you get show there. This would be a 1 of 1 unlock even though it may have multiple options in the future. Mainly, I just know this will never die until it is solved and have seen lesser shit cause devs to just quit all together when the nagging never stopped.

Hi Darkhound, I would like to report that it is possbile in 211 to get Faye's low-love sunset event by natural means. I takes some work (a lot actually), but it is possbile without any cheating.

This game is absolutely ok.

But I was really pissed before with some storyline games...... There are three absolutely similar answers, and you have to choose the correct one at about 10 questions, so most gameplays end up like actually nothing happens with the girl.... :D
