Melee dude, stick and move and abuse the dodge. It works. I feel like I'm the only one here who is doing melee 90% of the time. Honestly rarely stand and shoot unless I absolutely have to.
You can run past a lot of them, you can sneak past some, look into every nook and cranny to collect ammo.
I did two runs on normal. One where I took all enemies out and one where I mostly ran past them. Either approach is valid on that difficulty as ammo is abundant. On hard it is even more difficult to put them down, ammo is more scarce, and running is preferrable. I am contemplating doing a run on easy to get the upgraded weapon feel the game lacks.
It's what I'm doing - I usually play around with whatever new gun the game gives me, just see what it's capable of - then promptly never / almost never use it. For me, it's 90% melee weapons + 9% pistol + 1% "oh fuck I'm out of pistol ammo and this guy is coming right at me!"
You don't need to worry about saving ammo for bosses or other enemies unless your aim is bad. Whatever gun you use if you run low it puts that ammo into boxes for you to collect.
It's so nice to see everyone in the thread pretty much universally praising the game.
Love to see it, though! Especially since we've all been in here championing it.It's so nice to see everyone in the thread pretty much universally praising the game.
Some of those reviews, like WTH.
If I were in your shoes, I'd probably start a different save as the opposite main character.
I feel ya. It's weird you said the sound it makes still comes out of your speakers when the volume is muted. Do you have an external sound bar? Or is it the TV speakers? If sound bar, maybe try unplugging it to see if that fixes it? If TV speakers, maybe try hooking your console up to another TV (if possible) to get past that part?
True - but if you can get past the part that's triggering the audio bug, then save your game (maybe in a different slot) / shut down your tv, console, soundbar, etc. then restart from there with good audio it'd be worth investigating.
I had the same issue happen to me out in the bayou/ hateful mound section. I ended up having to reboot my TV from the admin menu.
I can honestly say that the hateful mound is the lowest point in the whole game. Thankfully I can get through it on any difficulty within half an hour of starting the game.I know I know
What don't you like about it? I dont remember experiencing anything frustrating.
I think you'll dig it. Go in expecting basic gameplay and you really can't be overly disappointed. Fingers crossed that you don't get the nasty bugs. Try to remember to save periodically because you will get stuck in geometry at times. Most of the time you can get out but I had one where I was just stuck, thankfully it was right near a check point.
I find the main enemy type tedious (especially if you get slimed) and the segment is uneventful as the only meaningful character interaction is at the end.
The negative reviews make no sense. I'm also playing Ronin and some of the complaints in reviews make complete sense so it's not like I blindly defend whatever game I'm enjoying. AITD though, the game is great by any standard and deserved better from reviewers.

, I got stuck in different parts of the environment. I had minimal technical issues with the game. Most of them were during cutscenes. Otherwise, ran fine on PC at the highest settings. Also appreciated that the game was on the shorter side. I think by the time I got to the end, I was ready for it to be over. It didn't overstay it's welcome at all. It's paced really well and the 6+ hours it took me to finish went by fast.
The clue is in the file itself. Count the number of letters in the word that is related to left, right, return (left).

, it's your cousin Fart Town, this is that new patch you've been looking for!
Yo
It mentions Xbox in the full list so I'm assuming the patch is for all platforms.

Why do you feel it is random?
yeah but also it's about the numbers on the dial not the times you have to turn the dial to either direction which is where I got confused and stuck like everybody else it seems
Yea, it functions like an actual lock which definitely throws some off. Who uses a lock like that these days? lol.
Just got to Chapter 5. 3 and 4 were worth the price of admission.
Dude, I'm glad you said that cause chapter 4 has been incredibly long for me. Some of the things I'm doing seem optional, it's wild. I wish I could go into further details but this chapter just keeps giving. I played for a bit last night and my first playthrough is going to be 10+ hours. I haven't even dawdled either, probably 1.5 hours that could be shaved due to fruitless exploring but the rest has been pure gameplay.
