Chapter 6, Bastion

[Sazime]

Anyone have any advice on the bonkers platforming here? I'm stuck in a section where the platforms disappear, with no real reason, that I can see.

the same ones dissapear every time.

Exactly...Just jump quickly from one platform to another. Damn I hated this moment - so tricky to play with mouse and keyboard...

I think the devs knew it is too tricky - I failed so many times on those stupid platforms, the game turned off lightning bolts and disappearing platforms. And I just had to jump on straight stairs xd

Mouse and keyboard, very tough. One million times tried, one million times failed. Very frustrating and not fun

Hm...I would get it for PS4 but in this case I'd miss mods if any will be available in the future :) I like mods and it's the reason why I try to play certain games on PC.

Yeah, eventually got it! The pattern does change depending on the panels you try to hit. Such a weird decision to put that little section there.

My framerate is too low during the Bastion battle for the platforms... I just want a button to skip it. It it horibly designed without camera rotation and the slow frame rate from all the animations makes timing the jumps on the disappearing platforms basically impossible. I would honestly make a mod to skip that part of the battle completely it's taht annoying and unfulfilling. How many times do you have to fail for simple stairs to the end?

Sounds like someone blames gamedesign for playing this on a potato.

Tried reducing your resolution and settings just for this? You might get the fps you need to actually pull this off ^.~

Your condescending tone is not appreciated. My Resolution is on low, and my laptop is only 3 years old. Not like this is supposed to be Crysis. And I’ve seen enough comments on reddit about this particular problem in general... if you have nothing constructive to contribute sometimes staying silent is better...

If i was condescending i would've said:

You suck, stop trying it.

Your post sounded like whining about a battle that is easily doable, yet a bit annoying due to camera lock.

But hey - good luck to you getting it done ^.~

The battle is fine. The frame rate slowing while the glowing steps are animated and everything is moving makes timing the space bar horrible. Sometimes the figure jumps when you press it other times there is about a 1 second delay. Which on the disappearing platforms horrible..

And my final comment was referring to a possible change in the game that Gart mentioned after too many failed attempts that seemed to skip the entire jumping part to the end of battle cutscene.

It will eventually just give you a set of platforms that dont disappear, or so I have heard, I will confirm one day when I make a second file to run though.

Took me 2 hours and 300 cuss words to get through this!
