This game is not without its claws! Hint for those finding this:wait till 3 people are in your party
Think I just got past that one. Close call but I managed without the spoiler. Wonder if the accessory is any useful.

When it comes to anti-aliasing, I might as well add this for AMD users.The good thing about DirectX8 is that you can force 8xSGSSAA without any artifacts or required compatibility bits.
In case anyone is interested:
The game looks amazing at 1080p. But...
How do I do S Breaks using the controller? I press left and right and the red Ui gem flickers a bit but pressing the button does nothing.
Also, how do you access another tab in the hunter journal ?
How do you turn enemy HP bars on above them? I'm pretty sure the psp version had hp bars.
And how do you access the monster journal?
It's a bug. I reported it earlier, hope it gets fixed. Until then you can use 1-4 on the keyboard.I want to know this too... I also just get flickering when I use the analog stick and using the mouse to select the gem takes too long for cutting in line at the right moment.
Ugh The game wont even launch for me -_-
Once these bugs are ironed out I'm going to dig into this game. The dialogue, even at the very beginning of the game was encouraging.

Bought it to support the second game.
I finished the PSP version long ago and I do not replay RPGs so I doubt I will ever install it.
Now can I have part 2 please?
I can follow up with this one: the text in the tabs of the bracer book only look fine the first time you open it after booting up the game. After you open the bracer book for the second time, the text wraps wrongly until you restart the game (returning to the title screen isn't enough.) My screenshots:There's also some text flow issues with some menu items where the name is to large to fit in it's block as well
First time:
Second time, immediately after:
I'm just in the tutorial. Do 1-4 have different functions, or do they all do the same thing? I can map two of these keyboard numbers to my controller left/right trigger buttons using xpadder, but I have no idea what any of the 4 numbers do
The numbers correspond to the party members' position. 1 triggers the first characters' s-craft, 2 triggers the second's, etc.
Forget the achievements (well, this actually ties into that anyway I'm sure but that's beside the point) there's entire quests and even portions of a novella you can miss if you don't follow a guide for them.Before I jump in, should I note anything for potentially missable achievements?
Wait so the steam version already got 2 patches. Is GOG slow with patch updates?
Oh yeah, steam does have that nifty patching system where you just upload the entire game IIRC.Sara said that she doesn't have an automated way to do updates for the GOG version, but I'm sure they're coming.
Anyone have colors issues during cut scenes?
They fixed that problem like 2 years ago. It only downloads the updated code for the files that are being updated. It was fixed not long after CDProjekt RED pushed a patch for The Witcher 2 that updated a 17GB file and it redownloaded that 17GB file.Oh yeah, steam does have that nifty patching system where you just upload the entire game IIRC.
Just got my first crash. Doing the 'Find the Shiny Rock' quest, down in the sewers fighting the swarm of moths right in front of the item. Game just closed on me while I was selecting commands.
No I'm not talking about a problem. I'm talking about the ease of use for the developers. As far as I know the patching process with steam is devs just uploading the entire patched game and steam's systems figure out what code is new and patches it accordingly for people that have the game downloaded.They fixed that problem like 2 years ago.

That's some excellent game design for something that's supposed to be fifty hours long.Forget the achievements (well, this actually ties into that anyway I'm sure but that's beside the point) there's entire quests and even portions of a novella you can miss if you don't follow a guide for them.
As you go to each new area per chapter you get locked out of the prior one, though you can freely explore between regions in SC.

Thanks. I do normally play to enjoy, but for longer games I always try to find out about any problematic achievements, both to see if they're worth my time and to take any notes on time-sensitive stuff.There's new game+ where nearly everything carries over. If you wanted to be a super cool kid you'd want to max out/get all Achievements, etc. on the highest difficulty (which isn't recommended to play unless you new game+ with levels, best gear and such). Just play the game and enjoy the ride if it's your first time. If anything, at least collect those books or whatever to get one of the final weapons on your first run. Doesn't look like you can get all Achievements anyway in one playthrough.
It falls into a reasonably predictable mold (you're more or less given free reign in each of those areas anyway, think of it less like CoD/FFXIII style linear design and more like Bioware hubs that arbitrary block themselves off) and you explicitely go through gates with warnings of no return.That's some excellent game design for something that's supposed to be fifty hours long.
Anyone have colors issues during cut scenes?
Yup. My intro cutscene is all crazy neon green colors and stuff. I doubt it's supposed to look like that. Anyone have a fix for this?
Edit: I put the game in windowed mode and it seems to have fixed it.
