Got so many glitches and bugs playing last night I just might wait for the patch this week(hopefully) on Series X...the big Green Mech that I cant beat so far on normal took me 2 tries before he even appeared after the cutscene,he just wasnt there lol,some dead end quest,bringing a bag back for a quest does not track and I must of walked around 20 minutes outside a town with no ennemies anywhere lol...

Dead end bugs are usually because you have to go to that area in the main mission first. Should be a message about that in the game.

I remember that took me like 10 or more attempts I think. Definitely a rough one.

Data Miner was a rough one alright. Took me a couple of attempts to get that one. I kept mixing up my abilities/augments until i got a build that worked. One of the worst things to do is to stay static with your build if you hit a hard point. I had no problems with Rescue Ubi quest. Worked fine first time.
 


If you're on Xbox consoles you should automatically get the latest update but if you want to check and be sure, check the file info in your My Games and Apps.

I tried hanging back at first it didn't work out. So i went aggressive and headed the incoming waves off at the doors made it much easier.
 
I've finished it. Really enjoyed it but they need to working on the pacing. I can see why lots of people couldn't get into it. I felt the same way for the first few hours but then at some point it just seems to really get going, I hope they follow this with a sequel. Tons of great ideas here that can be improved on in the next version.

I loved the look of the game but the gameplay let it down, I didn't end up finishing it although I think I'm pretty close to the end. The cover shooting never seemed to work right and the odd difficulty swings made it hard to enjoy at times.

I love the graphics and world, but the gameplay design and shooting are a pretty major step down from similar style Housemarque games like Dead Nation and Alienation. A great looking game like this mixed with Housemarque controls would be incredible.

The visuals/aesthetic are fantastic, but there was something about, maybe, the colours used during the first few parts that was literally hurting my eyes, I went through their color blindness filters and it continued. Like when I went to go see avatar in theaters, the 3d was triggering my eyes to keep things and focus lol came out with sore eyes and a minor headache lol still loved it though
