I know all the other QR codes displayed text and then had the name of who posted it. With these I don't get any of that, just the high-light (like it does if you hover over a gate/mine)
Besides, I checked and first unreadable actually hints at fact that it's unreadable. AFTER you decode it...
So if I keep playing I will unlock/discover a way to access QR codes that do not initially display any text?
The game as far as I am aware made no indication that it was gated/locked out content. So, so long as I will discover a way to 'unlock' more QR codes as we go? I'm fine.
If you had to use some reasource outside of the game (like the QR reader on your phone) then thats an issue. If not, then my question got answered! Just gotta keep playing the game.
I've only run into one QR code that was required to unlock something in a level.
As soon as 3rd "world" you need phone/online QR decoder to decode first layer and then Google (decode encryption) or Wikipedia (use historical hints) to decode second layer to get one of the stars.
As if so, that solves my question . I have no need to know how to aqquire such keys/items if they exist. The game just doesn't do anything to tell you that you should, infact seek them out. Everything else, puzzle peices, stars, etc it makes clear you can search for. Which is why my initial reaction is 'its a bug I've run into', as I'm not seeing anything to indicate its a game mechanic.
But again, if someone has more experience with the game and knows that, infact, you 'earn' the ability to read more QR code as I progress, thats just fine. Just a thing I want to know.
That actually was the responce I was looking for.
As if so, that is kinda crap that I wasn't made clear I need to aqquire a QR code reader in order to get my 40$ worth.
I can certainly figure it out. Its just a matter of trying to figure out if I am expected to be holding my phone up to my screen (or in my case c/p into paint, cut out QR code, submit to online website..) or if the game is actually beatable via its own in-game reasources.
As it stands, I've got too assume I'm not the only person on the planet who doesn't own a smart phone, and might get stumped by this if what you say is infact the case. Worth getting the word out I guess.
Also, *slight spoilers regarding number of "unreadable" QR codes* as far as I can recall, these are the only two QR codes in the whole game that needs an external device to read them. The one in A-2 and A-3. All others can be read in-game.
All the advice here pretty much cleared up what was needed and what I was curious about for the game.
I went into this mostly totally blind (save for one GiantBomb video). Hadn't been following the game for months so all of this was just newb 'wanna make sure I'm not missing something obvious!' questions.
Again, thanks for the responces. Glad everything has been cleared up.
