I think the bike feels like cheating only because of what they immediately do to you afterwards in chapter 3 where they take it away. As much as I like the part where you plan a big trip and have to take a bunch of ladders and poo poo all over, I don't think that component would be nearly as interesting if you had to make the EXACT same trip 3+ times with all the ladders already there. By the time you get the trike, you've seen pretty much the whole zone. Ch3 has SO many deliveries to make that I can't imagine doing them without the truck and roads, nevermind just the bike. My only real complaint with trucks/trikes/vehicles in general is that they feel TOO off-road-ey, and there's no like "oh I hit the end of the road, gotta hoof it from here", you can just drive basically anywhere. It would certainly make you reconsider the premium deliveries where you have to carry more than you can feasibly fit on your back. I think an interesting delivery condition would be a "Super Fragile" one where a truck would rattle too much and shatter whatevers inside and your only option is to take it by foot. Just something to motivate me to get out of the car.

Most quests aren’t fetch quests they are...
delivery quests. Also apparently I’m addicted because i got a trophy only 4% have gotten and I spent all day not progressing the story in chapter 3 lol

I have run into ghosts on my bike several times. I would immediately get off and fight the BTs on foot, and the bike would be fine when I got back to it

If you swerve enough you can just drive right past BTs, they don't catch you unless you plow right into one and swerving will slow you down enough to avoid them when they go visible. Someone said the bike loses power when you hit BT territory but if you just wait two seconds it comes back

The only annoying but territories on a bike are the ones with lots of rocks like near the end of the first zone, it makes it hard to avoid them as you can't move to the side often

Steve Yun posted:

Where you place your cargo affects your balance. If you keep heavy stuff on your left side you will lean left. If you put heavy stuff on the top of your backpack instead of the bottom, you have worse balance because the center of gravity is higher.

You can lean your body on your bike to affect its balance. This will help keep you balanced on tight turns or steep downhills/uphills.

There’s a LOT going on under the hood that doesn’t get communicated in video streams, it’s stuff that you have to feel while you’re playing.

You can lean on the bike?

Pylons posted:

IMO you don't really need to carry supplies around. If you need to build something with them just make a special trip and have something specific in mind. Otherwise just carry some PCCs around to build level 1 buildings.

If you park your bike or whatever close to you, you can build from it. I do that with mule vehicles I've loaded up to the gills. Just back that poo poo into the bunker door and you're good.

Also is it even possible to get through a BT area on the bike?

I pulled it off, scaling a near cliff covered in jagged rocks madly hopping and smashing boost up the face of it. It's crazy where you can force the bike to go.

Yeah I didn’t realize you could boost out of getting grabbed until Imhotep pointed it out.

I don’t know if I’m the only one that didn’t notice this, but I just realized that if you rest your finger on the touchpad while you are looking at the map, you can use the gyro and tilt the controller to pivot it, giving you a much better view of the topography.

Oh my goodness. I caused a voidout during chapter 3 trying to get the Toolbox for some random guy. Does this effect any finding gameplay mechanics or can I continue on without worry?

same. i was watching 5k likes come in every 5 min.

the movement mechanics are fun and all but the building part of the game is by far the most fun part of this for me.

Yup, same here. I misinterpreted the directions - Die Hardman tells you Fragile is waiting for you in the distro center near the town and you should go talk to her, then you immediately get handed the nuke and are told it's for her. Therefore I figured I was supposed to take it to the distro center as if it was normal cargo and meet her there, just extremely carefully, because the distro center is outside the city. Nope, turns out it counts as being inside the city and I got blown up.

Made it to the Wind Farm.

Haven't read a single spoiler or know anything about the game except that first trailer.

Impressions:

- I hate the menu poo poo. But I hate ALL menu poo poo. Even really slim-line menu poo poo like Dead Space.

- graphics 11/10

- Del Torowns

- I touched a floaty guy and black goo tried to eat me and the forest was consumed by the goo and everything went crazy and a baby is screaming at me and oh god oh gently caress oh god what the gently caress there's a dolphin what the gently caress is going on this is insane the ground is moving can't move goo eating me :gonk: :gonk: :gonk:

I'm a little ahead of you and also hated the menus & am now at the stage where they still bring me no pleasure, but I'm navigating them unconsciously enough that they don't bother me either.

This is like Days Gone in the way that I started out being extremely disappointed in what I thought was a dreary piece of nothing, but now I'm really liking pretty much all of it. Also, everyone who is generating an opinion based on YouTube videos, don't. It's a walking simulator with several Bop Its worth of random fiddly things to do glued onto it and there's no way to visually communicate the pleasure it elicits.

Yeah, gently caress roads I've got ziplines. I'm in chapter 7 or 8 and I've spent a large amount of time creating a zipline network to trivialize all travel past the initial trip to add a zone to the network.

Is the pursuer you have to fight/evade when you're caught by BTs randomized? For me it's been the big ol gribbly squid every time. Someone told me it was based on your birthday, what constellation you fall into- apparently they fought some kind of lasso throwin' scorpion and are perhaps coincidentally a scorpio... but I don't fit any of the ones the game lists. (Aug 25, so I'm a Virgo, one day after Kojima's birthday!)

It definitely does change. I've seen the squid, one that resembled a person on all fours and the scorpion
