@ApostateMage@carlos82 I loaded an old save to visit all the locations from Seattle day 1 so I didn't have to play the whole chapter again, but the other stuff I'm just using chapter select. I had one safe to crack which was right near the end of a chapter lol, but it was quite fun using tactics this time round. Like alerting the infected so they wipe most of the WLF and then picking them off while they fight each other.
But yeah the save system does work in strange way, when you manual save it just uses the last auto save, not at the exact point you are in the game. On the flipside the checkpoints are quite generous, when you die in an encounter it doesn't usually take you back right to the start of it.
Can't be bothered playing through game again looking for coins etc. I'm not a great replayer of games at the best if times.

I'm hoping my meticulousness of searching every area means I'll have minimal need to go back over stuff to find things. If the game could show a trail on a map of each area of where you walked, it would look like a toddler had scribbled over it for me.
I was pleased I got the 'all workbenches' trophy last night so I didn't miss any of them. I'm still Ellie at the moment so does Abbey (does anyone not know by now?) not use any or is it the same ones?
@BearsEatBeets Abby uses workbenches too so I'm surprised you got the trophy, I did miss one in the boat area which happens to be Ellie's but that seems odd, then again her part is more exploration focused so maybe thats why
Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.
@carlos82 yeah the trophy popped when I got to the boat one. That was also the first time I found some stuff(crafting materials/gun parts) underwater. I was wondering if they would put any collectibles underwater and was just starting to think checking was probably not necessary when I found that stuff.
Does Abbey use the same workbenches though, as in you play through the same areas? If not the trophy must just refer to Ellie.
@BearsEatBeets Abby has her own areas, I did the same searching underwater but there's almost nothing in it. Same with the cars, you can break the windows but I've seen virtually nothing in any of them

@carlos82 Yeah that's weird. I remember seeing Ellie break a car window in a trailer to get some resources, but I've checked a ton of cars, and they were all empty.
@carlos82@Octane It's good to see you both say that. I been checking all the cars and was beginning to think I'm probably wasting my time. I'll keep checking the back of trucks though.
I love that you can smash most glass and that some materials can be inside glass cabinets. Climbing and crawling have both really added to the exploration part of the game. It's a shame when I find ammo/materials but can't carry anymore.
@ApostateMage You could always load up a save before the end, and play through it until the credits, skipping those and past the cut scenes. It should take that long, depending on where the save is. At least that way you will have a chapter select for the whole game. Although you will need another play through for all the upgrades anyway. I was reading a guide and you only need to be at just over the half way point in the game to complete all the upgrades, when you first take control of Abby.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah it was very easy to finish of the upgrades with Abby, especially if you did plenty of exploring first time round. I just have to get the last of the coins for the platinum now

@BearsEatBeets I just spammed using R1 plus Circle in every area. Managed to find all collectibles without having to really having to rely much on guides.
@WanderingBullet That is not available unless you activate it in the options. I was not aware of this until I had finished the game lol. I'm kind of glad I didn't either, as I quite enjoyed scrounging around for supplies. Doing that takes the enjoyment of finding things yourself, for me anyway.

@WanderingBullet@JohnnyShoulder Having heard about it I must admit I've turned it on now I'm in the second half of the game as a back-up. I still like to find stuff myself but before I leave a room area I'll do a quick scan to see if I missed anything. Mainly as having had a quick look at the chapters I've done I've apparently missed quite a few cards despite being very thorough(I thought). Although it turns out I haven't missed a journal entry when I thought I had and still on track with benches/safes all accounted for.
@JohnnyShoulder@BearsEatBeets I turned on that option during midway of the story and only had to find one more trading card in terms of collectibles on my second playthrough.lol
@Octane I seemed to recalled one maybe two cars where you had to break the windows in order to pickup trading cards.
I've come to the conclusion that Dina is my favourite character. She has some of the best lines throughout the game and loves dropping the F-bomb. She's ace. Big shout out to my boy, Jesse, too.
