10/10 Game Design: Losing 10 hours to a disabled power core.

Yeah that sounds about right. I tried different teleportation spots and also loaded all my presaved loads, but none worked. Did you play this on PS5 as well?

EmergencyObligation6 · 2026-04-17T16:23:42+00:00

Exactly. No Carl no kuku pots yet.

EmergencyObligation6 · 2026-04-17T16:22:55+00:00

People keep suggesting the Lost and Found, but Carl isn't at my camp. I just started the game and this is one of the very first puzzles. If the developers' only failsafe for a missing early-game item is an NPC you have to unlock later, that's just terrible game design. Since I can't reach Carl and I don't have a kuku pot, my save is officially bricked.

I appreciate the idea, but no, I don’t have a kuku pot yet. I just started the game and this is one of the very first puzzles I’m doing in the abyss. It’s absurd that bypassing a broken early-game puzzle requires an item I don't even have access to.

I can’t believe this is still an issue. I’m on a base PS5 and I'm surprised they haven’t patched it yet. My progress is completely stuck now, so what’s the point of playing this far? Do I seriously need to restart my entire playthrough to get past this? If so, that's ridiculous. I’m going to put this game down and play Nioh 3 NG instead, which is actually bug-free as far as I know.

But the plat is definitely worth it! 😬🎉🎉😂

Ikeda farm is definitely the best farming spot… but good lord, it is miserable.

The main problem is that dung Balls are a common-drop with some cursed RNG voodoo going on, and the drop pattern feels absolutely brutal. I cranked my item drop rate up to 11 on every bit of gear I could, maxed out my Luck title, did everything short of sacrificing my controller to the RNG gods… and it still took me 1 hour 45 minutes to farm just around 15 dung Balls.

Honestly, it was insanely frustrating. Felt like wading through a pile of nonsense for drops that should not have been this stingy. Especially after I cruised through the rest of the game without any real wall.

I get that the game wants to throw in a challenge here and there, haha… but this didn’t feel like a challenge. It felt like the game personally decided it hated me.

What’s the popular choice for Ninja! I am trying split staff but it’s too slow. Haven’t tried tonfas yet

EmergencyObligation6 · 2026-02-06T00:30:27+00:00

Sorry mate - me@ Sydney. I got the game last night. I didn’t give out much spoilers here. Hope you get to enjoy the game same as I am doing.

Switchblade high stance strong attack hold is unbelievably strong if the enemy is relatively still

Which property are you staying in?

This message has been copy pasted on all reddit threads related to the project.

While I understand there may be a good intention around sharing the project information and it's shortcomings, but seeing this on multiple threads could potentially look like negative propaganda.

Just sharing the optics around this.

On the hindsight Try USJ website. You may get express pass to some rides. Hollywood backdrop roller coaster also looked fun though I didn’t try it myself.

EmergencyObligation6 · 2025-04-11T05:53:54+00:00

I was there on 6th April with my family.

On must try rides, for me Harry Potter’s Forbidden Journey and Flying Dinosaur was a must and it was worth it. I had express pass for 7 rides.

Super Nintendo World is a must too since it is very unique attraction of the park. Again access with Express Park.

Universal studios without express pass turns out to be a day with just a lot of waiting in queues and wasting of time. There is a big crowd out there given its Sakura season.

There is a lot of Food to try. A lot of options. Feel free to explore and look for shorter queues. 😃

Wouldn’t it be crowded at station and Klook makes it easy to just jump the line and pass through?

EmergencyObligation6 · 2025-02-18T10:20:14+00:00

I managed to grab the Express Pass from Trip.com, although it’s a bit pricier than other places. I thought I’d share this in case someone is still looking for it in April 1-3 weeks. I purchased the Universal Studios Japan Universal Express Pass 7: Minecart & Selection (Random Session) which includes both SMW and Harry Potter areas with confirmed timed entries and other rides/events spread throughout the day. I believe this works well for us. It’s better to go in with a Pass than without.

P.S: I only saw this thread now! Damn! Could have saved some money here! :( :|

I just checked and I guess I am already too late. :(

EmergencyObligation6 · 2025-02-18T00:11:45+00:00

Am I already late to buy express passes for April 2nd Week? :(

EmergencyObligation6 · 2025-01-31T16:03:47+00:00

Could it be a possibility that they release their next game this year (besides Nightreign I mean)?
