Dima's Puzzles a Total Cluster! Memory 5 is ridiculous!

[bcampb3]

These puzzles are really pissing me off! They won't save where I'm at, so I have to start over every time I try to get through them. I don't have a lot of time to play in any one sitting. The first four puzzles are fine. The length of time aren't that long. Howevber, number 5 is a total waste of time. I loved Fallout 4 until this point. It is ticking me off so much, I may not ever go back and play it. I don't know what idiot put these together, but it sure seems like Bethesda simply made memory 5 such a pin in the ^&*(), just so they can pad the expanded play time numbers. Good luck, but this has killed the experience for me.

You save between each memory when you pop out of the simulation, right? The puzzles are literally impossible to fail. It doesn't even matter if you fall off the platforms because you just end up back at the spawn point without losing any progress.

I didn't time it when I did it, but I don't think I spent more than 15-20 minutes on the fifth one.

I thought they were fairly fun. No real challenge, but fun even so.

You only need to complete 3 of them to advance the storyline, the last 2 puzzles only unlocks optional gear

ya know, if had wanted to play The Talos Principle, I would have. I play FO to explore and kill stuff that need killing, not play cutesy mind games. Ah well, at least it's not another <deleted> card game like Gwentandgagged... on the other hand, the Witcher folks didn't stick it in the middle of a main DLC quest. either....

Two thumbs up.

It won't save. If I fall off yes I spawn at the beginning. However, it will not save any progress if I exit.
Like I said the first 4 are great. But the last one is crazy. I even cheated and looked at youtube, believing I was doing something wrrong. Nope. Just the tedius task of moving the blocks one at a time. I agree with RnM. If I wanted to move freaking blocks upon blocks upon blocks I'd play Tetris!

The worst thing is, I figured out the puzzles fairly quickly, it just took lots of time to move the danged blocks, and then moved the danged blocks, then moved the dang blocks, ...

sigh. you make me feel cool cause I didn't cry about these puzzles.

I competed these puzzles as a lefty with remapped keyboard. I have to toggle the X button to auto walk to move around in workshop mode.

The last puzzle is a lot of busywork and not a lot of fun. It's basically a ridiculous chore. There are game review articles popping up stating flatly that the puzzle section ruins the momentum of the DLC, and I have to agree.

I like puzzles in an RPG - I heard about them and was looking forward to them. I brushed off criticisms about the puzzles as folks whining about nothing. THESE puzzles are just insanely repetitive busywork. They aren't clever. They're just an awkwardly long chore. I don't think I've ever seen puzzles in a game that were so carelessly long and so intentionally awkward. I felt like I was being trolled. It's like it's built to be annoying and slow you down at a point when the story is really picking up and you want to know more. By the time I was finished with all the puzzles, I felt like I was finished some horrendous chore and could finally go back to playing Fallout.

I still love the game and the DLC, but my nose bleeds when I think of doing the puzzles again on another playthrough.

Oh I know. Took me gosh, almost ten minutes to sort that one out. So hard.

If you didn't read the post, please don't reply. I said the game was not saving in between, so I had to go back and start them all from 1 every time I played it. That was the biggest complaint. Tech support suggested I uninstall and then reinstall the game. That fixed the save problem. I stopped after three and called it good. Number 5 is still busy work equivalent to Tetris. Worthless.

I guess it's too late now to warn you that this is a roleplaying game that has more to it than just combat...

This is what a real hacker would have done anyway. Those puzzles were an unfun chore to do. Destroyed the DLC's momentum.

The good news is, they made me realize I in NO WAY want to ever buy The Talos Principle, so thanks for saving me that money.

Thanks!

Worst part of the DLC! I still managed to get through it though.
