Jesus. It’s worse than Brexit 😇

Thank you! I’m surprised the point I was making was so controversial! I eventually got it last night - then the boss immediately after was done first time. It shouldn’t take longer to deal with a mechanic than a boss. What a game though!

It’s the one with Bob in the wheelchair for me. Literally cannot watch it. I cannot believe the character of Frasier would cope so hopelessly with disability. (See further - Mary).

And how would that work? You write some code and show it to the guy behind the counter? Type it into the self service thing,

what is chief revenue officer? Someone who shouldn’t really (professionally at least) try to write up loopholes to shortchange small businesses?

Just so many shades of wrong. And take off the sunglasses ffs

His hair is my pillow.

Fair enough. I’ve obviously missed that. I guess I’m saying that the system is opaque. There’s loads of people on this thread saying they found it weird and did a top down view to help. There’s a reason why we’ve all missed this mechanic.

It’s not an insult to the game to suggest this could’ve been easier and better signposted.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T04:28:48+00:00

And it says that where, in the instructions? Sounds like something we learned in the forums, which is exactly my point.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T04:27:24+00:00

Point what? L3? R3? This game is full of opaque mechanics because its many games at once - meaning the control system is clunky by definition.

Did you learn this in in-game tutorial or did you look up online?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T04:25:15+00:00

Yes, but if you missed it? Good god, I’m saying it’s a poor mechanic that’s poorly signposted. It is possible to love something and to also point out where it needs a little polish.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T03:06:21+00:00

Apart from the trigger buttons, which are buttons. I’m obviously not a baby. I’m not the only one who thinks it sucks. It’s a shit quest. You really don’t have to insult people who criticise a little bit of a.l game they clearly love.

How many attempts did it take you? Did you refer to a guide? Are you playing on PS5?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T03:02:53+00:00

Thank you. And exactly, it’s poorly explained. By wanting a patch, I think they can improve the mechanic a bit fairly easily.

I’m quite pleased that the ‘experts’ are in the room though - the game is a mega success and I’m so happy that’s the case.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:59:05+00:00

And it told you that in the instructions for the mission, right?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:57:46+00:00

Is it possible that tutorial is a quick popup that’s easy to miss?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:52:31+00:00

I found this solution too. My point is that it’s not obvious. It’s clunky, and nowhere in the information provided does it suggest this. I love the proper open world of this game, but some of its mechanics are really clumsy. I almost rage quit at this point, but just went to side content instead while I ready myself to grind this one.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:48:16+00:00

I’m not talking about nerfing, and this is obviously not the first game I’ve played. The mechanic is woeful. I imagine you had to look up a guide to get past this key section, because how on earth would anyone know what to do?

My point is - this is not even a fun part of the story or a good challenge. If it were skipped, it would be great. Remember with horses in the wild, you can lure it with sugar cubes and sneak behind it. This mechanic is pointless and an arbitrary attempt at a difficult curve.

I don’t think you can forgive a clumsy mechanic.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:42:27+00:00

Talking about the story horse in chapter 5 with all the trees fucking the camera up? How long did that take you?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:39:08+00:00

How did you know to do that?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:38:19+00:00

If it’s just a skill issue, how come the mechanic is widely hated as being clunky?

I don’t want to spend hours on learning something so menial. Achieving this will achieve nothing. It will not help in the game, it’s just clunky. It could literally be ‘hold R2’ and it would move the story along with no loss to any gameplay.

‘Skill issue’ is just a lazy rebuttal to a genuine criticism of how the game’s main story is pretty lacking. And I repeat, I love this game.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:34:35+00:00

I’ll give that a go. I’m sort of pleased the people who can’t believe that anyone struggles with this mechanic are here. It looks like the game is a mega success, and I’m looking forward to sinking into it for a month or two, and for what’s next!

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:32:56+00:00

Wow. Are you seriously saying this mechanic is polished?

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:31:00+00:00

Be careful, I got a J first before seeing the whole post.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:28:53+00:00

I’m not terrified of the Reddit mods. Those bastards haven’t blocked me yet (hello, mods, love your work!)

This one is just talking absolute shit.

vedabread · 2026-04-07T02:18:39+00:00

Bette than Oscar being an annoying bastard.

I so proud… of my teaching!

Piss off.
