Spoilers: Instant death during flying sequence

[TheZupMann]

I've had a flawless experience up to the plane part. there is a convo talking about making sure the plane doesn't go down and then then I'm (presumably) suppose to shoot down another plane but cannot. no matter how much I'm able to shot it, doesn't go down which still results in me dying. I played on the hardest difficulty to this point and even after turning the difficulty down to the lowest, I am still dying instantly. the plane is also well over 3/4 of the health. almost as if Indy is getting hit instead of the plane.

if anyone else is experiencing this, it'd be nice to know and would also be nice if the devs could look into it because as of this point, i cant continue.

Can not defeat last plane in tail gunner sequence. WTH

I just ran into the same thing, don't know what I'm missing here. This is the only mention of it I can find.

[nubipigg]

figured it out. you gotta get out of the plane. I wasnt seeing the "press X"

[GotCrayon]

You're a legend. I was not seeing it at all either. Thanks!

[TheZupMann]

nubipigg, you are indeed a legend. although im not sure if this was a bug or not but the "x" prompt did not show up for me and i had to just press it lol

It probably did, but it also goes away pretty quick.

Wow, I just went through this sequence and purposefully restarted the whole thing by reloading a checkpoint since I’m playing on Hard and had maybe 20% health left. I was sure I just didn’t have enough health to shoot down that plane, since I kept hitting every shot.

After redoing it, I had maybe 75% health left and still couldn’t believe that I couldn’t shoot down that damn plane lol. I even thought about shooting the wings, but that didn’t work, obviously.

I feel so stupid, but at the same time, I can’t help but feel like that’s just bad game design, and another example why QTEs are terrible.

The only place I have found the answer!

Thank you for this.

Really enjoying and engrossed in the game. Hence my lack of seeing press x about 8 times hahaha

Joining in to you guys as yet another fool who couldnt see the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ X! Sheesh. Must have tried downing the last plane for solid hald an hour. Restarting from checkpoint several times and couldn't figure what I was doing wrong. lol

Cheers nubipigg !!

I missed it a couple of times too. Was so focused on the damned plane and trying to stop it from shooting me down (which of course it newer did). That on QTE is really hard too see

[Snapper]

Haha I died over 30 times in a row now, then I thought WTF I have to search the internet and came here, then I saw the message ingame...♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this badly scripted ^^ you literally saved my evening guys xD

Why bad game design? With this game you have to figure things out more than most and if you are playing it on hard then you are going to have to figure things out even more. You are lucky to get a prompt at all playing on Hard.

It's not QTE. You get plenty of time. You just have to pay attention. The game is about discovery just as much as action so you should always be looking around. If you did that then you will have noticed the plane next to you and the prompt appearing.
