NITRO 187 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I don't know what it is but I struggle soooo bad when you have to do this.Every time I come to a part where you have to do this I cringe,it's basically ruining the game for me,why they changed this from the way in the first game is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHOUND MGS4 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I cant even cross a plank coz i always fall over. Do you hold LT/RT when they appear on screen or do you rapidly press them? I thought the first SAW was bad but this defo beats it with its dodgy fighting and pathetic walking the plank fall over and die! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NITRO 187 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I really concentrate on the balance.I'll just press the LT RT in a smooth order.I don't know where you are in the game,but I'm at a part where there are 3 planks.The first one is kinda giving me problems but the 2nd is easy because its short but the 3rd one is going to make me stop playing this game!!!!!

SparkaieWhyRfc1 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 best method i use is tapping rt and lt accordingly whilst nudging the thumb stick in either direction slightly twice like lt right right lt left left works for me just a hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHOUND MGS4 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks guys, ive been trying the gently tap LT/RT and move left/right but after 2 or 3 steps i fall over and die. Its the 1st plank you come across in the 3rd chapter. Its really ruined this game > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabMetal360 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 you have to keep your body balanced with LS and alternate steps with LT and RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostu1337 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Easily the hardest part in the game, because it's a broken mess. Whenever I come to a plank, I turn the game off for the night so as not to smash something out of frustration. It usually takes me about a dozen tries per plank....fun game! Seriously though, this game is a complete piece of crap, at least the first one resembled a real game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NITRO 187 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who stuggled with this part of the game.The only other thing that really bugs me is that everything you do is a stupid button pressing mini-game.

leptonic Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 After 30 damn mins practicing this matter got it... i felt so stupid not using the left stick =P thanks for the tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Star Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My girlfriend struggles with this too, but we found out that if I do the triggers and she balances its very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suki Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My girlfriend struggles with this too, but we found out that if I do the triggers and she balances its very easy so to clarify u operate the triggers while she waggles your stick ??

FOXHOUND MGS4 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 so to clarify u operate the triggers while she waggles your stick ?? LOL That made me laugh... thanks I found if you press the triggers quickly and use the left stick to balence its actually quite easy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suki Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 yeah i struggled on the 1st plank but just keep pressing LT & RT alternately and concentrate on keeping the man central and i can now do it every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsnelson Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Initially I was ready to quit the game over crossing one of the planks, but then I realized I was focusing on the triggers and not the balancing. Once I started just thinking about balancing as the main priority, and absentmindedly mashing LT and RT without any thought to rhythm or matching the on-screen prompts, I didn't fall off planks anymore.

NITRO 187 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Well to look on the bright side the last plank you walk over is the one suspended over the toxic gas towards the middle of the game.I'm at the end of the game and there has not been any since then.

BrokenSymphony Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 remember one key rule, slow and steady wins the race . I had the same trouble with the beam in the start if you tilt the left joystic a little to help regain his balance it really helps. Also when you see him move one foot, jiggle the joystick the opposite way he is leaning anyways hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmanstaruk Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 God how I hate the plank sections. I have no idea why they would make this part of the game so bloody difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedaydreamkid Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I spent a good 45min trying to figure this out. Use the L stick? Derr.....facepalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redqueen718 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I thought it was just me I have been stuck on the second plank for a little while now. The very first one with that first guy i fell off that and died but the game continued so whatever but now im ready to break something every time I turn the game on. I dont want to just quit but its starting to take away all desire to play this game:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
