i'm disappointed. (SPOILERS)

[Deepest Blue]

I believe I'm almost done with the game. I've got the white sphere and got to the point where I have to climb by shooting the black diamonds in time, but the timing is just too frustrating. I loved everything up to this point, but this is an extremely annoying sequence. Nothing in the game has been like this so far. why now? And why this difficult?

At what load % are you at?

skill issue. git gud

I think I just got to this part

You're supposed to move back to the previous black diamond to move the mirror back to its original position, then head back to the diamond that raises the platform and shoot left towards the mirror instead of right

Edit: Never mind, now I'm at the part you're talking about. You're right it's kind of frustrating. The timing is very predictable though, just take your time until you get a feel for it instead of trying to spam shots hoping one of them hits.

yeah it's just a bummer. the rest of the puzzles so far have been really clever. i'm unimpressed by this one.

hmmm, it was also the part where I failed a couple of times and I see the frustration, but overcoming challenges like these is part of the meaning of this whole experience. It's a test of perseverance and mastery. I bet you got it already.

I didn't find that overly frustrating, but I'm definitely disappointed in the game. From all the reviews I was expecting this amazing, crazy nesting head-f**k of a game - and it never really was. It finally felt like it was getting there - I finally felt like I was actually having to really consider the nesting....and then it finished. In my mind, just as it was getting good. :(

it's a different kind of gameplay from the rest of the game so far, about timing and precision as oposed to the whole game which has been about clever multi-dimensional puzzle solving. it just doesn't belong
especially with such demanding timing.

agreed. it doesn't reach its full potential.

I'd say that timing and precision has been tested to a degree before - in the boss fights. These diamond shooting sequences basically *are* the boss fight of this zone, so the same principles apply in that regard.

i suppose that's fair, you're right.

Personally the few dunking puzzles are more punishing for me than shooting ones. You miss one detail and back to the start you go, except you also need to set the stage again.

No, where the boss used more of the mind are very permissive and readable. The diamond scene is frustrating and difficult to read. The game was clearly sold as a deep and enigmatic puzzle game, I bought it for that, this diamond sequence literally ruins my experience, I don't understand. I managed the first no without difficulty and without fun. I am in front of the second, and I stopped the game.

edit: I finished the game, thank you for this game, it's a very nice game. I think a little more time to solve the diamond puzzle would be enough to soften the experience without taking away the pleasure of most gifted players.
