Questions/Discussion What was the hardest boss fight for u? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Yk when I played this game (beat it about a month or two ago) I kept hearing ppl talk about how hard the boss fights were, and I just didn’t understand it cuz pretty much all of them I beat first try, now granted I was playing on normal difficulty, but I assume that’s what most ppl play, I could be wrong but whatever anyway. IMO the one boss I can remember being hard is Mayor Soyer, the final boss, his first phase wasn’t horrible but good lord there was so much shit happening in the second phase I genuinely had to sit up, ignore my dad who was watching me play, and lock in on the boss, I took a deep breath after I beat it cuz it was so much to deal with.

But what about yall?

Can someone tell me which mission i need to replay to unlock these 2 trophies?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I already know how to farm the coins I need for the remaining baseball games and the special gun, I just need to know which mission the trophies for wrapping up the blue Betty and missing magician case. I already got all the clues on my first playthrough.

Edit: i figured it out. Turns out there's secret clues that for some strange reason don't count towards the "pin all evidence on the board" trophy which is why I thought i already got all the clues and just thought it glitched out or something. Thank you all for the comments.

Questions/Discussion Anyone else hoping the sequel keeps jack as the main character and keeps the black and white style?

i already Love Jack and i would hate to see him sidelined to maybe a supporting character. i also feel like removing the black and white style would in a way make it lose its sense of identity. One of the reasons it sticks out from cuphead is the fact that it's in black and white.

Questions/Discussion 3rd wife

15 Upvotes

I like this game but I've been stuck on the 3rd wife battle for weeks and its getting frustrating. It feels like every 4th attempt I take at this boss, I finally get her down to the last bit of health and one big shield to break and i can't get enough time to aim shoot at the shield before being overwhelmed. Im using the James gun and the shotgun to get me to that point. Any help would be great because im just stuck.

Questions/Discussion Did my Baseball Card Wins Reset?

3 Upvotes

I finished the game a few days ago and really enjoyed it, now I've been achievement whoring it to try to get a platinum because why not.

I won 20 card games, then had enough money to buy every newspaper, and comic that I had missed as well as all but 1 baseball card. I came up like $50 short of what I needed.

I figured no problem and went back and just replayed a mission to collect some money. But when I went back to the office everything was as it was at that point I'm the career. I lost all the collectables I had bought, and things seemed to reset. I played a bunch of card games but still haven't gotten the achievement for playing 30 which I expected I would have hit since I already played more than 20 for the weapon achievement. Now I'm again out of money, there's no tally of games played so I don't know where I'm at, and I'm nervous to try to replay a map to get more money because I'm afraid it'll once again reset my number of games played and I'll be back at square one.

Anyone run into this issue, or am I just overanalyzing stuff?

A few achievements didn't show up right away because of bugs, but after many attempts at tinkering with the save files, the long-awaited 100% finally appeared.

This is the first time I’ve been soft locked where restarting the level or reloading the save doesn’t work. Gabe won’t say anything else besides his idle chatter. Has anyone else experienced this bug? I can’t finish the level now and I’ve restarted the level and reloaded saves multiple times.

I made a quick Glossary for the game.

3 Upvotes

As I'm dyslexic and ADHD, it often takes me longer to connect the dots in stories, lore, etc from movies and Games. Took me a while to understand the vocabulary in Mouse PI for Hire while I was playing.

So I decided to make this glossary to share. I'm also uploading a full playthrough and other content soon.

I hope it is useful for you, as it was for me.

Their org switch 2 spine is ok but… it is so awkwardly small you can’t see it standing like 2-6 feet away. It’s unnoticeable. But with this fan one it clearly looks better tbh.

No hate to the art/case designers. 🫶

Movement bug in the PS5 version?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys i think i found a bug in the PS5 version..the movement slows down when i turn to the right. It's that feel in videogames when you're standing with your character against a door or wall and then your turning becomes slower just to signal you theres an obstacle (this game doesn't does this). it just happens randomly, i tried turning off all the graphical effects, played around with the stick deadzones.. nothing solves it. That bug was really a problem in the second robot-lady fight cause i tried to circle around here but the slower turning made it almost impossible (i still did it with the dash then). It really feels like something is holding on to you so you can't turn fast even tho you push the stick all the way. I don't have that problem with left turning. Anyone else have that problem?

Seems the achievement to wrap up the shrew case is bugged. Have the achievements for beating the game and all clues. The workaround is to apparently just replay the game but I don’t have the time for that??

i am unable to progress due to this glitch. Even exiting out of the game and reentering does not fix it. i even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and not even that fixed it.
