    Yeppers. Just as you finish proving grounds, save the game before you go to the last elevator, You can run through any other level you want to get what you missed.

    Rad. Thanks.

    A little spoiler to some of you, I know you will thank me later:

    After you finish Cohen's Masterpiece, DO NOT KILL HIM. DOOOOOO NOT.

    You'll see why later in the game, and you'll thank me.

    Tonight was my 2nd time beating it and I wasted him not knowing that I needed him for something at the end till I looked it up. Don't make my mistake.

    Tomorrow I am going to go back and hopefully finish picking up all the diaries. I also need to finish some research for the PHD achievement so I'll take care of that.

    Not sure about the Cohen thing. But a glitch in mine made him show up later even after I killed him (same loot each time). Are you referring to that or is there something else I needed him for?

    Also, film is very cheap. Taking multiple pictures of everything until the bar stops increasing is worth it even with the copy shot penalty. Just get in really close to max out the shots.

    I still have to get some diary somewhere too. But things like that are easy to miss. I've found stuff under staircases and tucked away in corners. Not sure I want to go back and look in every corner right now after all the time I spent on it this weekend. But I'll probably do it again at some point. I still want to see the alternate ending.

    Edit: Just looked it up. Looks like the 360 has a glitch that allowed me to kill Cohen early and still get him to show up later on (That's one sick **** to let live.). Maybe it has to do with me revisiting the second site to clean it out only after I completed a bunch of other goals. Could have reset it somehow...

    Damn you got him to reappear?

    Yep, even went back to the site of the first kill and took a picture. Unlocked the irony gamerpoints (up to 48 out of 50, hit the jackpot on the first pull of the slots in that little hallway going back to look for Cohen). So that was him, the first and the second time...lol.

    46/50 achievements.

    1. Collect all Diaries
    2. Invent 100 items
    3. Max all research
    4. Beat game on hard

    I should be able to do the first three in the current game im on, I'm currently just running around picking up as many materials as possible and going to use the invent tonics to go crazy inventing. Finding the diaries is a PITA and I'll just end up using a guide to get them.

    I just have the PITA ones left. Diaries and tonics. You can only purchase/invent a handful of the 53. And I think there are over 100 of those diaries.

    I think I'm done for now, until I get enough time to start over harvesting instead of saving. I'll probably use a guide too and make sure I get them all next time. I ended up with way too many extra parts by the end of the game. I just maxed out a bunch of items at a uvent and watched all the excess ammo pour out onto the floor to get the invent one.

    Me too. I was only missing one tonic so that one is off my list to complete. Now it's just the dang diary one I'm missing. I looked them up online and there are 122 of them. Frustrating that I could have missed one practically anywhere along the way. Should have been making a list. But I never thought I'd be this close to completing the gamer points after only one play through. Oh well. Best to take a break...;)

    Of course, right after I made the last post, I remembered there is a list of diaries you collect in the status screen. I was missing five. But now that I've completed 50 out of 50 achievements, going back in to do the alternate ending should be a lot more laid back without having to look in every corner. :D.

    Zero punctuation and Yahtzee are hilarious in their videos...
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Just finished the game. I harvested all the girls, next time I'm going to try to not harvest as many, if any at all since I was disappointed by the ending.

    The twist near the end was interesting and I like the new wardrobe. :D

    It's best to make the decision to either harvest or not and stick to the gameplan throughout, harvesting some and saving others really gets you the worst of both worlds..

    I agree, this time around I've saved them all so far.
