After jiggling the mouse cursor around a bit I was able to once again use the d-pad to toggle between selectable areas, but it still felt wrong. Perverse, even. The cursor could not deal with moving between rows with an unequal number of items, and the different creation options hair, face, etc were held captive in drop-down menus lacking any options to scroll down.
Opening too many of these menus meant I was trying to select options at the very bottom of the screen, as moving my cursor to the bottom meant scrolling just enough to keep the cursor visible. More difficult was trying to get a feel for the character I was creating. The UI must be ripped directly from the PC version: options for changing the character are to the right, while the left is taken up with your character model.
Also to the left are options to zoom on your character and rotate the character. In order to reach those buttons which will be quite necessary, as you start rather zoomed out you cannot use the d-pad.
You have to drag the analog-cursor over, which is already a pretty slow process. Getting a good view of the face requires zooming twice, and the whole time the UI is desperately fighting against you, terrified that too close a view might show you the seams on the three polygons that make up a characters nose. I tried pressing, holding, dragging, everything one would expect to turn a character.
All I got was a cursor desperate to return to its home on the right side of the screen. I was dropped into the tutorial area with no background, no plot, no real context, but that was fine.
Just let me get to the slashing. A friendly dialog box taught me how to move- I succeeded like a champ. The controls were a bit odd, requiring some aiming of your viewpoint with the right stick, but they did the job they needed to. The game then told me to hold R1 to attack, and to hit the small Daruma doll.
I turned my body toward the doll, pressed the R1, and completely missed the little bastard. Learning how to aim this time, I nailed the next little guy before the tutorial boxes decided this was sufficient and shuffled me into the next area.
It was a quick jump into a boss battle, but I figured that a longer combat would be a nice introduction. I swapped equipment to my dual swords, found my best special attack, and dove in.
I was instructed to pick up the loot he had dropped, but before I was able to a voiced cutscene took over. However, the text auto-scrolls, and it does so at a genuinely hilarious pace. The squeaky-voiced girl I had just saved had not even finished her first line before the cutscene was done, and I spent the next minute looting and checking out my menus as the rest of the cutscene audio played in the background.
Running around provided some laughs, as I found my character had a hell of a time stopping. It was as if the game treated me as going at a full run until the analog stick had been in the neutral position for a good second, eliciting some giggles at the icecapades I had inadvertently become part of.
The game prompted me to go to a gate that would take me to the main city, and I obliged out of some dull masochism that was soon to be overwhelmingly fulfilled. Onigiri saw fit to give me a sweeping view of the town I was entering. Unfortunately, the buildings on the near-PSOne graphics took some time to load and popped in at their convenience.
I was quickly thrown into a hub area with approximately one hundred billion other players, and was graced with a cutscene featuring up-close models of two NPCs, showing me their sparsely detailed faces in all their inanimate glory. I was given an excuse to go fight some monsters and was soon given control of my character again.
I checked my mini map and ran toward the nearest quest giver. I picked up a quest, tried to equip some new weapons, but the game had defeated me. The game had defeated me. I give everything I can a chance, but I could go no further. I closed the game. Turned off my PS4. Toppled my entertainment center. Set fire to my house. You're one to talk. Green Espeon 41, Same here. They are working on it though. Twigleaf Twigs , Posted on 09 October 15 at Seeing that this is an up to date post Are any of you having issues with achievements?
I made another thread, but saw this one. It may be this horrible new Xbox One dashboard, as it doesn't register games too well. I have absolutely no achievement progress at all after 3 hours in. Level 17, and the lvl 10 isn't even working.
Is it just me? Twigleaf Twigs said: Seeing that this is an up to date post It's being discussed in another thread Achievements grouped Have you been playing in single player mode perhaps? That's the best guess we have right now. Was able to sign on today, the issue has been fixed for me.
