Lockpicking

Does anyone else feel like they changed the lockpicking? It is laughably easy in this version to the point where I feel like they made it easier.

Edit: I'm not sure how to phrase it correctly, but if it makes sense: You have to have patience and "Wear Down" the pin. Eventually the pin will be in such a slowed state it's almost impossible to miss it.

On the first lock? Where you tap the 1 cilinder up and press A?

You might want to just use auto-attempt from now on.

didnt know there was auto attempt. will defenitly use that lol. the mini game is impossible to me somehow as i dont see any indication on when to click the button as i always press as the pin is at the top.

It's 100% about patience. You have to essentially "Wear down" the pin. Keep bouncing it at different positions until the pin is super slow and not responsive, then once its at its peak hit the tumbler.
