  Frakking bugs part II

  I ran into what is probably the most annoying bugs so far for me. The costume thing was a minor annoyance; there are a few here and there that I ran into, but nothing really major for the most part. Except this "default text" glitch, where your bonus objectives aren't working, it won't register holocrons or force points. Even if you're not concerned with the holocron achievement, you still have the problem of not knowing how many are left; and considering the stuff the holocrons give you, it's worth finding them. What's also weird, is when you beat the level, it acts as if you did it without killing anything.

  A look on the message boards doesn't seem to shed any light on it. One post claimed that it was due to skipping the cut scenes, but someone said they didn't and still got the glitch. It seems to be mainly luck of the draw.

  I really REALLY like the game, it's a lot of fun to play; I can only imagine how cool it would be if they actually made sure to get rid of the bugs, or at least these major ones. I mean, did they test it at all?

  Unlike the costume glitch, there seems to be no way to fix the default text one, if you get it, you're stuck with it unless you want to start the game all over with a new save. Fan-tastic. I think I'll just have to deal without it for the moment.

  Oh, and a side note; devs need to always include easily skippable cutscenes. You see it once, you don't necessarily want to see it a lot; so allow people to skip!

  Frakking bugs

  I'm loving Force Unleashed; I haven't really run into any bugs for the most part.

  Except this one: I unlocked a new costume near the end of the second planet, it's the Sith Robes, which makes Starkiller look very cool. Since he looked so damn cool in them, I put them on for the rest of the level. The next level, they're gone and locked back up again. I did a quick look on the forums here, and sure enough, several others have run into the same issue; we all got it legitimately, and all of us lost it because we put it on "too early". Some are making it sound like if you play it over again, you can re-unlock it; no one has actually said they have it though. I worry that since the game should have already registered me getting that holocron, that it won't be there a second time. I really hope that's not the case...

  Oh, btw, apparently "suck" is a curse word. Hide the children.

  Edit: I saw another post that said you could go back and get it, so I did and now it's unlocked. Weird how the setup is, that you kind of have to wait until the next level to put it on for fear of losing it. Technically, it should work if you get it then get an auto save soon after. Regular saving doesn't seem to do it. I dunno, it's easier to just wait for the next level.

  I am such an idiot...

  I finally got around to finishing Dead Rising, but totally frakked up at the end. I got a call from Isabela that I should come see her about an "hour and a half" before noon on the last day. I was screwing around, seeing how high I could level, and get to her about a half hour before noon. Granted, I'm still not really paying attention to the time for some dumb reason, and then absent mindedly saved the game. The thing is, I had planned to do over if I took too long to get there, and I would have been fine if I didn't save! Ugh...so no overtime, though I would have made it for that, and certainly no infinite mode. I'm so annoyed with myself right now. I know I could go back and play the whole game over "quickly" and then get the mode, but honestly, I don't think I'll do that any time soon.

  Especially with Force Unleashed coming out tomorrow.
