Pulled the trigger on a UK preorder. Can't wait to share some impressions tomorrow! This game was a big reason I bought a PS4.

I would be really interested in hearing Stuburns impressions on this game, I wonder where he is now. Does he have Twitter? The guy was the biggest Ueda fan, he most be thrilled.
Game is pure delight, although I wish the climbing was more SOTC, with a button to grab and hold instead of auto. Then you can just let go and he falls.
Honestly, the architecture in this is legendary, climbing up real high gives you a real sense of wonder like you are in a dreamland.
Speaking of climbing, Uncharted and Tomb Raider can learn a lot from this game, that one section you have to climb up to knock the Eye mirror down, it wasn't automated and required some finesse but was so much more rewarding than those games. It felt like I achieved something getting up there.

This game is so good for hours and then so frustrating when it glitches and breaks. Got to my turn the system off moment for the night when I'm supposed to command Trico to
The rest of the game is fantastic but all these glitches bring the game down. I think it'll be better on second play since I'll know what the path is and if it's just glitching and not doing what it's supposed to.
dive.
The first time it did it correctly and he dove into the water and tried to go through the low tunnel but I guess my game glitches because he got stuck trying to go through the tunnel and eventually we both popped back up.
After which he would never dive again. I spent 20 mins doing everything possible and Trico will not dive underwater. I reloaded the checkpoint and still no dice. Will try turning off the system and coming back tomorrow and see if he will dive or if my game broke because he glitches the scripted dive :/
Also had a part earlier in the night where he wouldn't jump until I reloaded a checkpoint so I thought maybe I wasn't supposed to have him jump and tried a million other things but no, I was initially right but he was glitching and wouldn't jump.
And I've had two cutscenes trigger parts in the game that didn't trigger initially and I ran around looking for what to do and then eventually they triggered.

Aw, man. Did it happen at other times too? How frequently does the framerate drop? And does it such a massive drop happen at that same place when you restart your Pro?
Jesus, I need Trico as a pet ASAP!

Not just you. This game raises the bar especially for the depiction of wildlife
So I was watching a stream on youtube, and the guy playing it had the kid accidently fall from a quite a ways up. Kid starts wincing in pain holding his leg on the floor for a bit, and then proceeds to walk around with a limp for a short while. This game is something else.
Yes. I immediately tried to kill them to level up.
That's the exact same part I was stuck at. But apparently it's my fault.
Yup. His voice when calling Trico even changes to a soft whimper.
When you're both in dark spaces, the boy even whispers instead.

No. It dropped a few times in open areas and hit single digits once (for maybe three second but 80% of the time it was smooth sailing.

Just completed it.
Awesome stuff. Right up there with ICO and SotC. Worth the wait.

want this and FFXV so bad, but cant help but think they will be 20 bucks cheaper boxing day, plus on winter holidays then and nothing like playing the last guardian in a warm cozy house while its snowing
I've yet to encounter a framerate drop to that degree. Maybe I'm lucky.

This amazing game sure is an excercise in frustration sometimes. A lot of times.
Ive spent ten minutes now dying six plus times and i cant make a simple freaking jump off Trico's tail, i keep falling into oblivion.
Try seven lets go...
Edit : and death. The controls are ridiculous.
Hold left, he looks and leans over, press X, fall straight down. What?
Edit : Oh, triangle, shrug, i forget you need to shake off the controls of every modern adventure game that uses X. Oops

That's because you jump with triangle

yeah the same it hasn't entranced me the way Ico or SoTC did. On the other hand Trico is kind of amazing.

Thanks, i like the idea of triangle is up and x is down but its hard getting used to controls that go against whats become the norm.
Onwards i guess. Lol
That, and the animation system never cheats or glitches out for Trico. It can and does a lot with the player character, which is admittedly a much tougher case of engineering since you have to balance the player's control with the animation, collision and physics, but Trico never once had any moments of behavior in my entire playthrough to indicate there was a bug in its timing, or other systems. The animations flowed perfectly, never skipping a beat. It's probably the most incredible case of an animated AI unit in any game, ever.
Try custom button assignments through ps4 os?
For me the framerate is about 20-25 for the vast majority of the game.
Yep, they get even bigger as the game goes on too. It's insane.
They are really big and I don't need one for every single spear

I think I know where you are and had the same problem. I never got him to lift me up there either. Instead, move over directly in front of the gate, he lifts you up there.
This was the only part of the game that really frustrated me. Took me like ten minutes.
These games are usually more about showing and not telling, on top of being more immersive. I'm not a huge fan of some of the voice overs during scenes either since it basically explicitly points out what I can already take in from the moment. I forget what game it was but I know there was a dev that wanted to be able to not have trophy popups during a game which was razor focused on the story since the little blips can detract from the moment, it's somewhat similar to why the popups stick out.
That and it's a mixture of the UI itself being kinda phoned in, it's overly big for how frequently it keeps popping up. Plus in games like RE4 a lot of the prompts are context sensitive, like I can't just run up to an enemy and hit A to kick them, I only can when they're stunned. This would be similar if 10 hours into RE4 it kept telling me how to run when I get into a new room. There might be some of that kind of stuff in TLG but I keep seeing how to pull the same lever and how to climb Trico which is well past redundant when I'm a handful of hours in.
I had this yesterday. So great.
Also, when I discovered I could
pet
This shit took me forever too. Try doing R1+Circle to get him to stand up against the wall adjacent to the stairs and jump off his head to them. That's how I finally managed it.

I think it's best if you spoilered your post because it encourages reading "solutions" unintentionally.
Try to observe his head movements and call out commands and see if he does any action. Hint* try to make sense of the world and physics because it ends up being logical.
This game actually encourages lateral thinking. The ones that got me stuck are the ones where I slap on my forehead when I found out the "solution". 99% of the trials I've encountered are usually under my and not Toriko's control.
Ok cool, I'm seeing some people post mixed results, but it's good to know there's a chance I'll be fine. Needless to say that when I eventually get a Pro, I'll give the Game a quick replay.
