Re: The Ascent

I like the game but like some of you said it has a bunch of annoying issues(long load times, really bad game lag in co-op, crashing to dashboard). I've experienced events not triggering when I get to a certain point in a mission which is probably my biggest issue with it. Nothing stinks more than playing up to a certain point in a mission for an hour or so only to realize you can't trigger the next event because you have not done a previous mission. The game certainly needs to be more clear in telling the user which missions are available to finish to completion(Ex: You must complete "x" mission before starting this mission). I highly recommend that newcomers stick to doing the first 2 or 3 main story missions 1st before branching off to side missions to avoid my problem. The fact that only 12 devs made this game is quite an achievement though so they get major props from me.
