Man. Hard difficulty is way harder in this update. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out a way to get extra money/materials/serums in addition to making them and see if I can get the lab reasonably well upgraded before October without completely giving up on mind controlling anybody aside from Sophie (and giving one MCS-1 to Diane to get her scene).
Is anybody even playing this game on hard mode? If so, do you have a trick to getting extra materials and serums? My character is horned up all the time, is that just keeping him from getting events to help top up his mats?
