ain_sr Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) After being stuck at 98% in Life is strange 1, now this... I just hate how the technical department or maybe the trophy admins are so incompetent. Been trying to plat this game since it was free on PS plus, but it has such a ridiculous trophy list which becomes annoying and impossible to achieve with the constant crashes. Now with just a few weapons to find a district turned hostile as mistakenly levelled up. They had a amazing game here but the crashes and unnecessarily complicated trophies really kills the enjoyment , and their reputation. Miles Morales runs buttery smooth on the PS4 and this crashes every time I cross some enemies or a district. I am too frustrated to continue wasting my time on this, oh and loading time wth are they loading... I don't even wanna try Life is Strange 2 Update: After this post I tried to get the remaining weapons from the non-hostile districts but it crashed twice. And this time around I wasn't even skipping the districts! Never have I deleted a game so fast. Shitty games are tolerable but a good game that is left broken by the devs is beyond forgiveness for me. I don't know much harm would the crashes might have done to the PS4.

Popular Post groomyboy Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2021 The platinum was super simple for me, never had a problem with a district turning hostile without me planning it, so not sure what you did there. Are you sure you are giving citizens medicine to keep them healthy? My only annoyance was that is froze and crashed almost every time I entered a new area, especially when sprinting. Also, it crashed everytime I sprinted whilst there was 4 or more enemies on screen. Thankfully it autosaves often so I never lost more than one area worth or progress, but after reset #30 it was getting a bit frustrating. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The Platinum is not that hard for me, at all, I think it's a good list. But the amount of crashes and freezes of this game is ridiculous, I can't wait to get the Platinum and then, 0,1 seconds later, cancel this crashing piece of shit of game from my Ps4 for ever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInHell Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I wonder if this game would be better to play on a PS5? Idk if it solves crashing, I don’t know tech stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darling Baphomet Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I never dealt with crashes, and I have the platinum. Not sure what you mean by 'unnecessarily complicated trophies', too. It's hardly the most complicated game if you use a guide. Districts turned hostile shouldn't be a problem with collecting weapons since you have to kill people for most of them anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even wanna try Life is Strange 2 well my friend when it comes down to asking on trophy forums your going to be hit with a lot of people saying they didn't have a lot of the problems and I feel ya, as I have had nothing but problems for the normal marvel vs Capcom 3 and dead space 3 and even with ninja gaiden sigma 2 no one seems to have a good answer and if they do they normally reply with you did something wrong or your lying and yeah. I had the same kind of problems in life is strange 1, I had to play the second to last episode afew times to get a single trophy to pop it is really dum as hell but yeah. I thought I reply with mostly saying I know your pain my friend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcanehornet_ Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I agree man, the game is trash. A single collectible glitched for me, meaning I couldn’t get them all. I was locked out of the platinum on that save file. Needless to say, I did not bother restarting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrafalgarWarGrey Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The trophy list isn't bad.The only difficult trophy is not even once and if you are on a blind run is really possible to miss it,For avoid crash beat enemies and don't skip battle.When you load another area and enemies follow you crashing is common.The rendering of NPC plus area makes the game crash.Even doing that is possible you have few crashes.Probably the PC version doesn't have this problem.Obviously you need to have a gaming PC like every single games version with PC and PS4 runs betteer on PC.It's the frustation doesn't make you progress give up otherwise try this tip for make the game enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this needs to be checked by someone. It might help as the SSD will really speed up the loading, unless the core algorithm for loading assets suck. 18 hours ago, KenjiCBZ said: The Platinum is not that hard for me, at all, I think it's a good list.

It's can be hard in one sense that the PS4 can't keep it running, but it's definitely annoying. For instance I had missed a side mission to save a person and got locked out of the collectable area. Got it back only because of the attacking through door glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestUsername---- Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I have an SSD and load times are still abysmal. You can accidently venture through on of those invisible walls and immediately go back just to hit another 2 minute load time. I have a base launch PS4, other than the load times I experienced 0 crashes, glitches, bugs, and trophy problems. Same goes for Life is Strange, Before the Storm, and Remember me so I don't think Dontnod is the problem here. (Not trying to say that you didn't experience the rare glitches, it certainly does suck) If you mean the game is hard then yes I did experience some difficulty, up until the last boss, without feeding. If you went into Vampyr thinking it's an "easy" plat, you were mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for PS5 and PS4 Pro, but... I have a PS4 FAT with installed SSD instead HDD. It proved itself while playing Monster Hunter World (amazing loading times), GTA V/ONLINE (again, loadings were a lot shorter) and Cyberpunk 2077 (I had no problems with loading assets in, and it was a huge pain for hdd players). That being said I platinumed Vampyr with said SSD and it was bad - game crashed a lot (not as much as cyberpunk, but still a lot) and often froze when I was trying to change district. As for positives I had no problems in achieving any trophy, everything worked, all collectibles were in place, but I can imagine it being broken for some players (due to overall state of the game). I guess PS4 Pro version would be almost as trashy as PS4 Slim/Fat, but PS5 should make it a lot better experience just as it does with Cyberpunk (again, pulling this one because it's fsr from good in terms of bugs and crashes).

EcoShifter Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) It's not that bad. The trophy list consist of mostly simple and straightforward tasks: Defeat this boss, Take care of this character's fate, and do this basic task (Level up weapon, Eat 10 rats, etc). Collectibles, as are generally the case, are what prevent what would mostly be a simple platinum. Though the way they're implemented in this game is okay considering. . . The game warns you about the consequences of sleeping and literally shows you the negative impact it has on districts after doing it if you haven't been taking care of things beforehand. And sleeping is not forced, it's optional. Also the reality is that if you've allowed a district to become critical but moreso hostile, then you've been playing badly. Otherwise, if you're keeping on top of things, there's points in the game when you can sleep multiple times with little to no consequences, trophy and/or game wise and thus also get the important items from NPCs. Speak The crashes and load times, however, are valid complaints. Although, the former I didn't have anywhere near as many as you've (probably exaggeratedly) claimed. That's including me constantly running around the world, dashing (fastest locomotion), and skipping battle encounters, on base PS4. The issue has just primarily been the long and short load times.

Load times have seen minor improvement. It's often similar or quicker by no more than a few secs. (Same with the first Styx game.)

Putting an SSD into a Base PS4 gives no advantage over having a 5400RPM mechanical drive in there. The hardware within that console, plus the Slim and the Pro, wasn't made to fully support SSDs, so any speed advantage you think you have is all in your head based around you 'wanting' it to be faster. Playing the game on the PS5 with the internal SSD or an external 5400RPM drive will make the loading times come down, not by a huge amount as the game doesn't take advantage of them, but there is a difference due to the PS5 internals. Basically, you're overkilling your PS4 by using an SSD, it's going to give you less space to use with very minimal (if any) advantages over a standard drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Vampyr is easy. except for maybe the first 2 hrs of your first playthrough, since you can't feed and the game is a bit souls-like but even still dodging enemies is easy and you can drop skull named overlevelled enemies providing you don't get greedy. as for crashes i played it on a pro and i think it might have crashed once or twice, but never constant.. so unless your on old hardware or they have patched it and screwed it up in the last year orso Idk what to tell you. sell your PS4 on fecesbook and buy a pro off there, just make sure you choose a Tlou 2 or RDR2 pro, you want the game art on the box. those are the most recent iterations of the PRO and the best. you could probaby grab for half retail price easy.

True, but I just wanted clarify what type of console and drive I'm using. I mostly use an external drive because I had 2 internal drives that crashed and were basically irreparable. Plus it's easier to transport a usb external drive to a friend or brothers PS4 rather than transporting my whole PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I was one of (apparently) the few people that didn't experience a ton of crashes, my biggest concern was always during loading times, the game seemed to be frozen and suddenly I was in control of my char again. The movement/combat is definitely not the best but it's hard for me to say it was really easy to 100% Vampyr because I used the excellent Optinooby video guide posted in the game threads, that indeed reduced issues with platinum route a lot. But I understand that for a blind run the game could be a nightmare. Edited January 31, 2021 by GoldenShaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup it's difficult in the no kill run, the annoyance from the long loading screen on top of it makes it further more challenging to have patience. But overcoming them was doable and I didn't mind much of it unlike the ridiculous crashes and freezes. I generally try to plat story based games, and it did have a unique and interesting story to tell which I enjoyed. But man the platinum does shit on the experience. People shouldn't go for the plat on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds-of-Neptune Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It is still crashing alot.. even after the update. By what I read here, it is mostly happening on regular ps4s. Maybe that's why they gave it away on ps+.. Cause I cant see buying this game with all that crashing.. unless you have a (ps4 pro or ps5). Good luck! ??
