visighost Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 ...because when the game crashes after several hours and you need to start from scratch, you may feel like throwing your Vita into a wall. I hear you can skip dialogue faster on the PS4 as well, so it sounds like a wiser choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrobot_pb Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I am playing it on PS4 using remote play on my Vita. Not sure if that's super smart or super stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ_Solo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Whoops. I already did the entire game on Vita. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did I for my first, non-Iron ROM playthrough, and it never crashed. But I'm thinking the saving+quitting cycles may reset whatever causes the crashes. Of course, it could all be down to luck... but I have now read crashes are common. Edited November 28, 2018 by visighost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellcoreFire Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. Sorry to hijack this thread but is Cardinal of Combat easier on Vita or PS4? I only managed to get to the boss fight once and I think I did something wrong because I wasn't able to kill it.

I believe I did it on PS4, but since you can tap the screen on Vita, it may be easier on the portable. The real challenge seems to be Threat Neutralized, but I got that one on Vita on my second try. It seems like a good idea would be a first playthrough on Vita for the combat/arcade-related trophies, and then Iron Rom on PS4 for the skips+stability.

Just got the trophy it was pretty easy once I learned the patterns. I'll do Iron Rom on PS4 then just in case, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Joker88 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I played through the game once on my Vita and it never crashed, i hardly saved only once in a while when i wanted to go to either Vita Options (for connecting Bluetooth Headphones) oder look at my trophy progress... But this message discourages me to go for the Iron ROM trophy in my next playthrough ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJustKing Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 For the iron rom : If you are playing on the ps4 there are 2 times where it can freeze for you if you are skipping text. Thats when the robot asks you to write your name and later when you have to put a code in a machine. The X button wont work. To counter this you can use the touch pad like a mouse and press the letters that way. If you want to be sure dont use the skip thing on those scenes and just smash X to go through it faster. There is also 1 more part where it can freeze : when you wake up in the hospital there will be 2 robots next to each other in a desk , DO NOT TALK to the one on the far right , its like a 50% chance of freezing with no way to counter. For the Cardinal and Threat : You dont need to use the touchpad to get them, you can use the arrows and x button. When i played it, i read people saying it was so hard with arrows you needed to use touchpad or vita but that was the opposite for me, i have no idea how people did it with touchpad. So if you are having trouble with one way , try the other. Using arrows , i got cardinal in 3 tries and the threat in 8 or 9. A tip for threat : if you are spamming X they will 100% shoot you , the trick is to wait like half a second between X's and you get it easy. On the cardinal you can just spamm it till they die, just do the half a second when you change square it usually helps. Hope it helps, if you have a question , the game is still fresh in my head so i can maybe help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaikichiKawachi Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The game can freeze on the Vita. It happened to me 2 days ago when I had played for several hours without saving. I almost gave up on the game after losing all that progress but today I just decided to suck it up and redo it all again. I'm saving now every time I move to a new location.

Which is a great idea, but you're not allowed to reload in order to get Iron Rom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reala_kira Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I had crashes too. During mini-games and one just after finishing my first playthrough (hopefully after I got the epilogue chapter and got eternal xmas trophy). I got the main screen freezing and could not go to the main menu. I had to delete and redownload the game again. Now going for Iron ROM trophy. Hope it doesnt freeze :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reala_kira Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) And it crashed on me again, for the second attempt to do an iron-ROM run on the vita. Ok giving up on it definitely unless the developers are patching the game? Edited December 3, 2018 by Reala_kira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCenaSong- Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 For me I managed to soft-lock the game twice on the same area on one playthrough on PS4. When you're being chased and have to open close the doors etc. if you tap too soon after ending the last line of dialogue it just locks up entirely. Since there's multiple playthroughs needed anyway I just got it another time around, lesson learned after the second time it locked up. I wasn't skipping dialogue, but usually I press at the beginning of each line to load the full line of text immediately (personal preference), and, well I pressed it too quickly when there wasn't even next line of dialogue xD. I imagine if you're the kind to skip through dialogue this will be even more likely to happen, just be careful in this encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuric1981 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It's crashing constantly for me on Vita. On the first playthrough I've got several crashes. On my second attempt the first crash was in Chapter 4. I hate such bastards: they are making trophies which may be unavailable due to their bad programming skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaikichiKawachi Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm now ready to start the Iron Rom playthrough on the PS4. My only concern is the fight with Dekker at the end. I've played through the ending twice now following the tips to beat him on here and each time took me 2 or 3 tries. If I get game over during that fight and have to reboot, then it is all for nothing I presume, so does anybody have a good strategy to reliably beat him every time?

lildunkin342 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 You can reboot as a result of death and have the trophy count im pretty sure. Against Dekkar just move in the opposite direction of him at all times and he will never catch you. Block all exits except for the one away from you, but give him at least one exit to leave through or else he is going to shoot through the doors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallume Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just happened to me. Was at the end of Chapter 3 and crash. I'll def be doing the Iron Rom on ps4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiopile Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just froze playing Dekker mini game and it corrupted all my saves. Also I can’t make new saves. (vita). So in addition to frequent saving, also back up to cloud. Probably best to avoid this game on Vita all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Going for Iron ROM on the PS4 and the game has now froze in Chapter 3. Sucks. Really debating on just tossing the game or coming back in a year or so. Already played through a few times for all the endings but one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
