Crane game is killing me.

[Shagster]

Been stuck trying to get the robomaster plush from the crane game. The new engine is making this hell to pull off unlike the previous games. Pls dev. Ive tried over 30 times for this one toy just lemme buy it.

[uddipan1000]

Try to push it to the edge rather than picking up. I tried 6 times and got it.
Not a single time it got picked up. I picked and dropped till it tipped over.

What?
The crane game is way easier than in the previous games as the stuffed toys tend to get stuck to the crane.

Got every item on my 1st try so far.

It isn't easier. In Yakuza 0 is the easiest one, the claw there has a shadow. So it's easy to see the distance..

Definitely feels harder for me. Even worse that it doesn't give you the option to view the claw from the opposite side of the glass either.

My only tip is to reload the save if the toy get knocked over.

This ver of the crane game is both easier and harder. Harder because of your perspective.... no shadow, etc. But easier because the stupid toys actually behave according to proper physics now.

Ever try to get any of these stupid toys in a crane game IRL? You can't grab them half the time, you HAVE to knock them over and basically 'push' them to the hole. At least in the Dragon Engine, proper realistic physics now apply to the toys so they'll behave how you'd expect them to.

So meh, its a bit of a 50/50 trade off. Not being able to move the camera in any direction you choose is the handicap here.

It's much harder than previous games. They took away all sense of depth perception. No shadow, no being able to rotate the camera completely to the side.

Also, the physics are broken. Ragdoll "slide around the room" physics are fun when you kick a guy, they're less fun when the crane has finally picked something up and instead of it falling in the hole so you win, it just barely touches something on its way down and pinballs back up into the machine.

it's harder for me too, so if i knocked over my target, i just asked to reset the crane game instead of trying to inch it over to the hole. I've managed ten so far but haven't put that much time into it.

[Blastaz]

Harder but doable. Try the one left and back of the hole then back out and ask the receptionist to reset them. I think I got one with a clean pick up and one by knocking a fallen over one in.

i think this crane game is ok, not that hard. I play 3 times and got 2 prizes

[PunisheR]

took me two tries. Got it by its head. Maybe just luck for me.

[Schlappohr Pyro]

I think it is harder but doable. Try to slowly push him with the claw. The one behind the hole is the easiest i think.
Also dont forget that you can tilt your view around the machine.
Took me a few tries for sure.

[TheStark700]

Took me several tries for the first one but I managed to get a second one easily once you learn the timing. I personally think it's easier than the previous game.

Always go for the one that's closest first.

Just know that ragdoll physics are tied to framerate, so the game is harder the higher your framerate is.
