My guess is that you can't disable it, but I figured I'd ask. It's a minor complaint but it did irk me in this instance.

My game has been having stuttering issues as well.
Crap, I didn't realize this. I think that I am pretty close to finishing the game, so I might go through it again, just trying to get some more achievements.
Flay, do you have any other tips like above to help get achievements? A full description of weapon machines would be nice as well. Thanks

Let me know if you want a full description of all the weapon machines.

- Due to a story spoiler, there is an insanely awesome time to go finish collecting tonics / tape recordings / weapon upgrades / research right before loading the final boss level. That's when you should hit the Bathosphere and scour the levels for missing items.
- There are 5 tape recorders that have to be picked up during the natural course of the game. Since they are in areas that cannot be returned to, there is no point in going for the recordings achievement unless you have them. They are
Spoiler:
- You cannot unlock the tonic achievement unless you take the Little Sister saving path. There are 3 tonics that cannot be purchased, found, or made.
- As for the two 10 point secret achievements (Non-story spoilers):

This is more of a question than spoiler. Why did I encounter (3) Big Daddy's to one Little Sister in the Medical Pravilion?
I decided to go back a little fearing something I missed (I did) and on my way back to the Emergency Escape you encounter your "First" Big Daddy. Atlas says something about the Little Sister and taking out B.D. Ok I did (downstairs) so I come back up and there's another one. Ok I did ...again downstairs...and again another one pops up. I'm about to say the heck with Little Sister if these things keep coming out of the woodwork. Am I missing something?

Also, you don't have to kill him. As long as his helmet glows yellow, you could walk right next to him all day long. You don't bother him, he won't bother you.

Yeah, the Big Daddies have one mission: Protect the Little Sisters as they harvest Adam. They will only attack you if you attack them first. There is one thing to be wary of, though. As the Big Daddies will wander a level after you have harvested/rescued the Little Sisters, if they get caught in the crossfire of a fight between you and a splicer, it will go on the offensive and then not only are you dealing with a few splicers, but an angry Big Daddy, too.

this game is flat out amazing...i haven't gotten this into a game in a while!
i've found extra little sisters on the neptune level after i saved and started playing again later. i had gotten the bonus for saving the three but then got the same bonus again when saving the fourth little sister...can't complain though

I'm in neptune and have not encountered any stuttering yet.

any hints on killing these big daddys? They're a real bitch.
spoiler....
Also, do the teddy bears pop up at the same gatherer's garden?
I saved 3 little sisters and got a teddy and after I saved 3 more, the teddy did not pop up at the same gather's garden and i haven't found the teddy yet.

I finished this earlier today. I thought that I would want to go back to get some achievements, but I don't think so anymore. Great game, but I'd need a couple of months before I tackled it again, if ever.

For those suckers who bought the CE thinking the soundtrack was really the score, fret no longer. I saved myself some cash by only getting the regular edition, and I get the score too
12 tracks of orchestrated goodness.

Yep. Downloaded earlier. That is what SHOULD have been in the set, not that P.O.S. Moby disc. What the fuck were they thinking?
So after downloading that, and upon returning the Big Daddy and getting the artbook, the only thing remaining that should have been included was the metal tin.

My Big Daddy looks so sad with his arm hacked off.

Played for another 3 hours or so tonight. If I had broken down and bought this instead of rented it I would of been more than happy. The scenery alone is almost worth the cost. My one friend who is anti FPS is already sick of me telling him to rent this thing.
As far as killing the Big Daddys....

They go down pretty quick for me now.
