DONT EVEN TRY TO GET DOCTORATE!!!

[Rat]

Okay,so the story is,i played DE:HR after getting 58 of 59 achievements and completed the game 4 times.I managed to get all 29 Scholar books,but i didnt get the achievement,i tought that i missed some of the books.Turns out i really did, So i made a new savefile and went to get all of the books.
Once Again,I didnt get the achievement even though i get all 29 books,i went ahead and do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ speedrun this morning and i still didnt get the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ achievement.So i raged out and say !@#$%^^%&%*^%$#$^#&$&^%^#$$*&)*##%@$^%*$^#$+)$#%#$ ((^&%^&%^#$%$&^. I was so angry that i smashed the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mug with a (wooden) sword (Thank god the mug was empty so it didnt hit my PC).

Just to mention,i already tried getting all of the orange Ebooks in The Missing Link,so DONT YOU DARE EVER MENTION ABOUT IT.

So,in a nutshell,what i wanted to say is Dont ever go and try to get Doctorate,unless you want your pc crushed....

I got it on the original and the DC. It's entirely doable, and my PC is still very much not crushed. Checklist is definitely the way to go.

What? Doctorate is entirely possible. Are you drunk, per chance? :-)

Did you do it in NG+?

Becuse the achivements are partially bugged in that mode, and won't activate.

Doctorate being one of them.

When achievements are buggy or otherwise annoying in unfair ways, just use the Steam achievement unlocker app. You know when you've earned it.

Achievements will activate on NG+ ... I got a couple I missed the first round during my NG+ playthrough.

I did use the word 'partially' for a reason.

Off the top of my head, it's Doctorate, Foxiest and Pacifist that I've heard only works in a fresh, new game. The others work just fine—although you should have probebly gotten most of them already by then.

I got Pacifist (and Factory Zero, ironically) on NG+. People do seem to experience bugs with achievements, but most were buggy in the original game as well, and there doesn't seem to be any one achievement that does not work across the board in NG+.

You mean the Steam achievement didn't pop until you got to the end credits? Not necessarily a bug - your computer might've had a blip communicating with Steam and it just didn't register until then.

i Just started a new game on NG+... Maybe that's why I didn't get pacifist as well.
