Why oh why can't we skip the mini games?

[Clauwdia76]

It's my only gripe with this game so far, I wish you could skip those mini games. The sneaking, the escaping, the rhythm game, it's awesome that they're included but man, just let me skip those or give me a bit of an accessibility feature on those, I am old, I don't have the reflexes. Having to restart those sequences over and over and over and over again because you can't skip them and have to complete them to continue the game is aggravating. This game needs accessibility features added to it so badly. Just like the QTE's an button mashing you have to do sometimes, quite a few people can't do that (anymore) :(

Seconding this!! I'm surprised there isn't an accessibility option.

Yes and this is me after rage quitting the sneaking. Couldn't even leave the game properly because there was only "try again" like it's mocking me.
I came for a chill fishing & restaurant game, what do the devs expect from me? Passing an action mini game?

@Sixteenfu THIS omg and why not let us retry each failed floor of the sneaking game instead?!

Yes I will take that option too - I hope we don't get a "get gud lol" response. I saw something similar in the official DC server, it was toxic.
I mean we progressed enough to be stuck here, I really want to see what follows. The storyline is just getting exciting.

big agree, its nice but i would rather have an option to skip them. i hate having do go through a minigame when all i wanna do is fish!

Are you guys talking about the Cat sneaking minigame or is there something else entirely that I haven't seen yet? If it's the cat one then it's actually rather forgiving in letting the cat go beyond your sight. Otherwise I'm sorry I'm not of much help.

It's not the cat minigame:

In the final part of the game you receive a mission to infiltrate a base, which essentially plays like a mini platformer where Dave has to hide behind crates and in freezers to avoid being spotted by patrolling guards.

The devs made at least two patches to decrease the difficulty and honestly: It wasn't a fun experience before the patches at least. Dave is slow, the timing with hiding and climbing ladders is very tight and any mistake sees you returned to the start of the stage where you have to play all three floors over again (Which equals a minute or 2-3 lost walking the entire route back again).

And as the OP stated: You can't save, quit or skip during the section. Nor is it really a challenge, as half the time is spend just standing still waiting for guards to walk the other way or for some camera and guard to align perfectly so you can continue

I'm sorry if this is being to much stereotyping, but the game developers are mainly Koreans and it's a Korean game company. As far as I know many Korean games play pretty hardcore even for normal mode games. I play on both american and Korean severs in Maplestory, which is a game developed by the parent company of mint rockets, and the difference in the boss fight for the korean server is harder then the hardest difficulty in the same boss in the american servers.

Yes, it was definitely too tight of timing on it, especially the last little bit. Restarting on that floor wouldn't have been so bad, but getting caught near the top of the last ladder several times in a row and having to do the whole thing over again was really frustrating.

[wuxiapian]

+1 had to force quit the base infiltrating mini game, it's just too frustrating :(

[Smiley]

Just alt+F4'd out of the stealth section after getting caught at the end for the third time. It's awful.
Everything I've found to be 'wrong' with the game is exactly this: Way too tight tuning where players have to do things just right.

This isn't just in this game, it's an annoying trend where devs think that everything that has to do with timing has to be a challenge or that there has to be meaningful choice and not just a best option after some scrutiny.

It's baffling when you're hand-held through every tutorial in the game and forced by the game to do things.

But... I don't know these devs or what they've done, maybe it's early work for them and they just don't have the design experience to understand what a variety of players go through. This is largely why difficulty settings exist.

The stealth mission killed the game for me, since you can't skip it and you can't put it off and just dive and run the restaurant, you get forced into it and then locked there if you can't do it. Wish I had known it was that kind of game before putting 30+ hours into it, I've gone from really enjoying the game to wishing I could refund it.
