I know im late to the party here but did this game seem a tad on the difficult side to anyone else?

Set it to easy and im struggling a little. Stempacks are expensive and I go through them like candy.

I actually had to start the game over at one point. Got stuck in the first town.

Stole from the doctor without knowing better and he pulled a scalpel on me. Well since I had a gun he didn't pose much of a threat and i took him out with relative ease.

I go to leave and when I open the door what seemed like the entire town was outside of the clinic waiting for me, guns and pitchforks drawn. Made the mistake of saving right after I killed the doctor and had no chance of escaping.

I can do that.

Building a village around an active warhead was a great idea by the way. Usually plotting revenge on an entire community takes some planning.

"gee I'm awfully sorry about that nasty bit of business on your first playthrough. Oh hey you've got some explosives training, would you do something about that bomb in the middle of town? Thanks"

Gotta remember to start saving before hitting unmarked switches.

During the mothership zeta quests I hit a button next to a door that i assumed was for that door. Nope. Set off an alarm and was immediately swarmed by aliens and drones. Didn't die but wasted a ton of ammo and healing items with not much to show for it.

I will say these alien weapons are much more powerful than what i was using. Should make the game quite a bit easier from here on.

PC? Console?

Don't know if it freezes a bunch on PC like it does on consoles(which is usually hit or miss for some people), but that's also another good reason to manually save every once in a while. Plus you may run into a stupid glitch where you can't move side to side or something(can't exactly recall what I couldn't do), and it becomes really annoying, but was fixed by picking a lock. Happened late in the game(which made it 10x worse), and my last manual save was so long ago.

This game is effin' awesome btw.

I compare the feeling I got when I first stepped foot out of the vault to when I escaped Midgar on my first FFVII playthrough.

So big it's almost intimidating.

It was on sale on Steam the other day for just $7.50. Picked it up as well, but I have a backlog now.

It's funny. About 5 minutes after I posted no glitches I ran into one.

There's a spot on mothership zeta, fairly far along, where the game progress event wouldn't trigger for some reason.

It's right after the space walk sequence. Your supposed to activate a teleporter to allow your helpers to join you. Well for some reason they wouldn't come through. Luckily I had been saving frequently. Quit game, restarted the console and picked a relatively close save point start from and it triggered.

Glad it was an easy fix.
