These guides would be great if whoever wrote them got the directions right! saying magazines are got from the east of chinatown but are on the west side doesn't make for a good guide!

By darkrealmslord on 20 Nov 2020 20:02

Thank u for the guide, this is helping me a LOT!

By Cirilo Jones on 27 Dec 2020 10:47

I don't know if this is a recent issue with the game or if it's just me but none of the collectable achievements beyond the one for the cars have unlocked

By TheOdd101 on 16 Aug 2021 09:33

Got all the pulp magazines.. but the achievement doesnt pop.. but the whole story achievement unlocked.. had to close the game and started the game back up and the whole story unlocked on free ride

By oZombieJ3sus on 06 Mar 2023 00:46

This is definitely glitched. Got whole story but not this or the mystery fox achievements even though I've collected them all for both.

By FrogDog001 on 06 Apr 2023 07:39

Had to collect them all again after wiping my save. Thankfully the game is pretty short.

By FrogDog001 on 10 Apr 2023 04:53

This one is also glitched for me. After collecting the last black mask magazine, nothing popped up. I finished the mission and went to free ride and the whole story achievement popped up but not lending library... seems like I have to do them all again....

I can't take any credit for it, but it's insanely good. You can filter by type and zoom right in. Love it.

The trophy is glitchy. Through the chapters I collected all the magazines that I missed and the trophy did not fall out. Although statistics say that everything is 100% collected. I don’t know what the treatment is.
Update. The trophy appeared right in the menu as soon as I restarted the game after a while.

By John_Draven on 06 Oct 2020 08:05

I collected everything from a cheap magazine. Didn't receive the prize. Probably the game is also buggy

By Immortal32 on 01 Dec 2020 21:35

The trophy is not buggy, it’s just a mistake in the description, you need to collect not only cheap magazines but also everything else, there are 80 of them, once you collect them you will get the trophy

By roter on 07 Jan 2022 01:33

There are 20 magazines in the game, which are called “Cheap”, for the trophy you need to collect not only them, but all 80
