I like it. But moving from act 2 to act 3 for me was like hitting a wall. I had to put the game down for a while and while I’ve come back to it several times, I still haven’t actually finished act 3 or come close to it yet.
This game is just massive and the pacing from act 2 to act 3 is a big change.
Theres just so much to do in act 3 that i cant just let plotlines stall before moving on to the final moments
Possible spoiler……
I made it to the cave with the mushroom people. What act is that? I think it might still be act 1, but I’m not sure.
Yes that’s act one.
Act two is when you get to the Taco Bell.
I’m at the pizza hut
Act 2
I just got to act 3 and that exposition dump after act 2 felt pretty overwhelming and it does feel like a wall. The transition was stressful and really frantic between all the dialogue and the like 5 big fights in a row.
But I’m sure the rest of the act is just fine, but it’ll be hard to push through that wall.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like this! I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I also hit a wall in act 3. I love the game and all it has to offer, but I feel like so much was crammed into act 3 that it just felt really dense. I hate to use the word ‘slog’, because it’s obvious that everything has had a lot of thought and care put into it, but in that way maybe it’s just too much all at once?
I don’t even like act 1, none of my save games load without hanging the game.
Poor UX. Literally unplayable.
Considering it runs on a Steam Deck through an SD card, I think it’s a you problem.
It’s a known issue with multiplayer on the PS5. I haven’t looked into it in a couple of weeks because I’ve had other things I had to deal with and have kept me from gaming but I plan to look into it again soon.
It could definitely still be a me issue. It could be some sort of weird corruption with the save gamer something like that. I’m really not looking forward to trashing the entire safe game and starting the game over though.
Are you running it on a potato? I’ve been playing on a steam deck with zero issues.
PS5 actually. It’s apparently a known issue and apparently it’s isolated to the PS5 because it has something to do with the second players game not loading right when you’re playing multiplayer couch co-op.
I had game save/hanging issues at first too, but figured out it was the cloud saving that was making the game hang. I turned off both the Larian cloud saves and Steam and then the game worked smoothly for me.
I’m running PS5, but I will 100% try that!
Thanks!
Hope it works! I do see with a brief search that there was apparently some kind of cross saving bug for PS5 and looking at headlines only Larian seems to have done something about it at least
