MicroCool Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This is by far the worst game to do lock picking. It's a pain in the butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty125 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I find it fun to do. Just find the soft spot on the sticks and spam RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdfen Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I dont like lock picking much either. I do not understand why this minigame makes player hold joystick in such an unnatural way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T00L Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hahaha.. I agree, holding the controller like this is a pain in the ass. You guys shall never know how I actually hold it to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkflame Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've found a chest that I can't lock pick open. Is there some trick to them in this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrenpaul Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Dont think the lock picking is a trick, but you need your vibration on so you no where to pick it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I dont like lock picking much either. I do not understand why this minigame makes player hold joystick in such an unnatural way. a thumb on each stick and your right index finger on the trigger is holding it in such an unnatural way? Is there a time limit for tapping the right trigger though? I had to spam the trigger 3 times to open one chest (I really don't think I moved the thumb sticks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinful Samhein Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Agreed, lock picking does kind of suck. It isn't the end of the world. Also agreeing that the shooting sucks too. I hope it gets better later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnye69 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It's exactly like decoding in Arkham City, rotate the sticks until they vibrate and pull RT 3 times. Why is this hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It's exactly like decoding in Arkham City, rotate the sticks until they vibrate and pull RT 3 times. Why is this hard? I think its only the very easy locks that only require pulling RT 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortyreus Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Got to agree on this one, the lock-picking thing sucks ass... Tried opening a chest, it says "press RT" so I do that, the round thing in the middle goes all the way to the left and nothing happens and I have to do it again... Not to mention if I press RT and only slightly move any of the 2 sticks I have to start all over, and I have to press the button 7-8 times or something before it goes all the way to the left. Took me 10 minutes to pick the goddamn lock, this really sucks... I hoped that the opera door was the only door where you had to do this but I feared that might not be the case...

InfiniteRefrain Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Vibration is a must; couldn't figure out why I was failing so bad til I realized I had my vibration disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakisbac Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Vibration isn't at all required - there are only so many ways you can angle each stick so finding the right place doesn't take long. The problem I'm having is the same as Tortyreus, which is that once I start pressing my thumb moves ever so slightly and I have to reset the again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey2002 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It goes all the way to the left and have to restart, chest lock picking must be glitched spent ages doing it (the first quest door you have to open I did that right away that worked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llewxam Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 the "knob" at the top of the lock is a timer. not the lock itself. just spam once you got the picks in place. and remember the place they're at. if you fail, just move both sticks to that position. it doesn't reset. ever. i've failed a few times until i got the gyst of it and now i manage to breeze right through 'em.

Is there a time limit for tapping the right trigger though? I had to spam the trigger 3 times to open one chest (I really don't think I moved the thumb sticks) as soon as I start pressing RT while holding joystick normally the vibrations or whatever make me fail. so what I have to do is first find right locations then hold both of sticks with one hand mash RT with the other. So yah very unnatural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDreamer99 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Vibration isn't at all required - there are only so many ways you can angle each stick so finding the right place doesn't take long. The problem I'm having is the same as Tortyreus, which is that once I start pressing my thumb moves ever so slightly and I have to reset the again I'm having the same issue. My biggest problem was that I was tapping the too quickly, causing my right thumb to slip on the a bit. Now, it isn't a frustrating experience so I don't mind the lock picking feature. However, I don't think the lock picking system implemented adds anything to the game. In fact, I think it does just the opposite. I would have preferred something like solving a puzzle lock to open a treasure box. Edited October 31, 2012 by StarDreamer99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyRifleIsBroken Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Vibration is a must; couldn't figure out why I was failing so bad til I realized I had my vibration disabled. I don't get this, i have had no issues at all with lock picking and my controller is custom and doesn't have a rumble pack. Not really sure how any of you are finding something so simple so frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headdragon Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Well for all the people having problems: You unlock the keys for the chests by meeting certain criteria in the game (e.g liberating districts and so forth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfen Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Well for all the people having problems: You unlock the keys for the chests by meeting certain criteria in the game (e.g liberating districts and so forth) I dont think anyone says that lockpicking is difficult.

Floyd. Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I keep the sticks in the required position and tap RT slowly; nothing. I keep the sticks in the required position and mash RT as fast as possible; nothing. I do this for 5-10mins and ir eventually randomly opens; lock picking sucks ass.

headdragon Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I dont think anyone says that lockpicking is difficult. The main consensus and the topic of the thread is "Lock picking Sucks" Well the argument still stands: Why put yourself through the suckiness that is lockpicking when you can just walk up to the chest and open it up with a ready made key? I personaly don't think it sucks, but hey every one has their preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjpiper Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Why put yourself through the suckiness that is lockpicking when you can just walk up to the chest and open it up with a ready made key? In the past games you did not need a key for chests - you just found a chest and opened it - I think many of us prefer that method.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
