The best lockpicking system is from Elders Scrolls. Just recently played Dying Light 2 and they use the Elders Scrolls lockpicking method.

Dude I'm just going to turn it off. I was having a good time playing the game last night until I got to a part of a mission I was doing where I had to lock pick a door and after ten minutes of trying I got frustrated and turned it off. Goofy idea for a mini-game and the difficulty ramps up waaay too quickly to be this early in the game. If I was a game reviewer I'd seriously dock the game a point or two for this shit alone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 From what I heard about it being discussed and from what I remember there is no rhythm involved you just push the light when two lights light up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game literally tells you in the help menu to time the button presses to the beat. It even has an icon of an ear. You can adjust the difficulty or turn on a visual aid, but the way it's implemented by default is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was listening to the bombcast and they talked about it. I guess one person was doing it completely wrong while everyone else said it was super easy. I was only half paying attention though so I didn't know if what I said lined up with what they said exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has because it doesn’t seem to care about misclicks. I can click 50 times and as long as 2 of those clicks line up, it works. It’s dumb. You said you can turn it off?

Don't know where you are in the game, but I'm at a part that requires four precise clicks. I get three of them but can't get the timing on the fourth so it doesn't work. Apparently there will be longer sequences later in the game. I'm not that far btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Is the lockpicking worse than Kingdom Deliverance, because that's easily the undefeated champ of shitty lockpicking system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Kingdom Deliverance takes the cake as the worst lockpicking mechanic in gaming history. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 So I went back and gave the part I was stuck on ONE more try and got it after a couple of attempts. So lockpicking can stay... for now. I know you guys who are playing aren;t that far in the game yet but do you have any idea which faction you're going to try and stay in good with? So far I'm sticking with Crimson Dawn because I know what they're about because of the comics and they're not ENTIRELY bad. The Hutts and Pykes don't like me too much right now. 13 minutes ago, Best said: No. Kingdom Deliverance takes the cake as the worst lockpicking mechanic in gaming history.

Here is somebody else's opinion: "Lockpicking is literally the worst I could have infinite lockpicks and all the time in the universe and I still wouldn't be able to open a very easy chest". Lol it's comically bad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 If you want to play at 4k/Ultra, they don't recommend anything less than a 4090. Seems to really prefer Nvidia GPUs, but it does scale down well if you turn down settings. Some graphical bugs noticed, so waiting for a patch or 2 might be worth it. Though the PC version (see previous video) seems to be cleanest version. It will be iInteresting to see Alex's (from DF) breakdown. I've seen anecdotes that the Ray Tracing makes a big visual difference in this game, so its a shame that only a handful of GPUs can really showcase this game.
