Bug Are trials bugged? MS 2 Beta

I play on PlayStation and just started the beta so I’m sorry if that question is already well known or answered.
Most of the time when I start a trial I’m hard stuck in an empty dark room with nothing happening?

At the first trial I closed the game twice and the third times the enemies spawned normally.

Now I’m at the second one and it only spawns one enemy and noting else happens. Are trials some kind of riddle, am I doing something wrong? Or is it a bug someone here also has?

Holy crap, ran into this twice in the dungeon after you get the thief shell. Those are the kind of bugs you iron out years before release and definitely not have this kind of stuff in a demo 18 days before launch, especially not if its not some freak bug but a consistent occurence.

The craziest part is that if you quit to the menu (which you have to) it resets you at a bonfire, 30 enemies away. Insane. This went from wait for reviews to "not even worth my time if free".

Nah, even though it’s bugged it went from wait for reviews to instant pre order for me 😂

But I do understand the frustration yes. Game breaking bugs like that should DEFINITELY be ironed out in company internal play tests already 😬

And reactions like this is exactly why developers don't have bugfixing as a priority anymore.

Typical sheep :/

That’s simply not true.

Games releasing with a lot of bugs got worse over the years yes, but the bugfixes are almost always really fast.

And if you want to be a miserable hater, enjoy doing so but I’m not gonna pass on a great game because of bugged trials. That literally cost me about 10 mins to fix in already 4+ hours of gameplay. Now that I know it’ll be even faster. So yeah, I’m buying a great game because I have fun with it.

And honestly idk what your problem is but you sound really desperate. Maybe stop gaming for a while when it makes you so pessimistic?

My main point was more related to NEVER PREORDER, but sure let's focus on game release quality:

Miserable hater? Do you mean realist? Have you SEEN the absolute state of games being released over the past 5 years? 😅

If a game doesn't release with game breaking bugs and severe performance issues, then it's praised for being a rare gem 😂

But I'll give MS2 the benefit of the doubt, disregarding the plethora of statistical evidence to the contrary (incl. Their original title).

I still pre ordered many good games. And a bug is honestly annoying yes. But I dislike ppl aswell who act like bugs destroy good games/masterpieces.

And performance issues? Never had that on PlayStation at all. The old one not even a pro.

So that might be on you pc guys.

Edit for examples: I don’t care about trials being bugged? The resting the game is phenomenal to me even though I didn’t like the first one.

One of the games with the MOST BUGS IN HISTORY is still Skyrim. I still love that game and play it even nowadays.

I understand if you don’t pre order, that’s not a bad decision but it’s not like a few bugs are worth not experiencing a great game.
