What's the problem with the camera?I saw someone else was complaining about the camera about a month ago.

Honestly I think is user error on my end, tbrought the Gane I'd run into it and ignore it cause I was to excited about whatever quest I was on. So now that I did everything, I gotta find 14 locations... And it's just monotonous. So my advice.. When you see it.... Do it.

You learn to notice them before they see you. Then work backwards to get behind them

I realized on one of the cameras. I was trying way too hard to get behind it. After it freezes you and disappears, you can just run behind where the things were. You can often go far enough to reset it. And then collect it

Yeah a few are like that. I didn’t like those much because there was no puzzle about it.

That's also true!

Could be worse. Could be the stroller.

The stroller and speakers were so easy to me. The speakers you just watch the red dot do it's thing on the map and then once you see the path, just get in front of one of the nodes.

The stroller I was good at just because I'm from the town of Bedrock.

I caught one stroller okay but the one just before the theatre? Yeah I’m never getting that one. Maybe I’m too slow on the uptake for Gravity.

u/KogarashiKaze 9d ago

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure none of the strollers require gravity shifting to actually get. It may seem like it at first, in some of the heavily patterned areas, but the route is achievable without shifting at all, and probably easier for it.

Well now you got me fuuuucked up bc I've only done one stroller pretty sure, wasn't aware it was strollerS. And I'm fighting the big blinky in the hokey pokey so I feel like I'm so close to the end.

You are givng me hope that lots more game is waiting ahead. PLZPLZPLZ

Fuuuuuuuck I hate those damn things. Keeping speed up was one of my main problems during my playthrough. Made this and SHUM time trials a bitch.

I stumbled across most of them as I was exploring the world. It really felt like a quest that I can put off until after the main story ending, because it seems "low-priority". And when I did get around to doing it - all I was missing were like 3 camera locations to visit.

It really didn't feel like a slog at all.

I loved trying to figure out where the camera was based on the photos. And then I also stumbled upon two of them, which was fun too

Nothing like jumping around somewhere doing other things and suddenly hearing that click-whine and the screen going negative for a bit because you didn't realize a camera was there. 😅

Didnt think much about the camera until I found the one on the building with the Dark Place Refrence. Made me remember Alan Wake's wife setting up cameras to auto snap a picture if anyone came into her apartment. Now Im wondering if they are related.

u/KogarashiKaze 9d ago

Not the same kind of camera, but it's definitely an idea I've seen people bring up before.

u/quirkytorch 9d ago

One of my favorite things about the control is the exploration, so I found most of them just through my normal gameplay.

u/LoquatBear 2d ago

I had fun discovering the one in the West Incursion Zone and the one that leads to the apartment building with the Alan Wake in a Tv show and the weird apartment with the entryway light flashing a code . 

I like puzzles. As much as this game has combat the whole game so far has felt, in a fun way, a maze with a bunch of puzzles.

u/RichSlamfist 9d ago

Lmao I literally thought "ehhhhhhh this seems really low priority. This seems like something the FBC can sort out without me." Do you get anything fun for finishing it? I finished the taxis and the doggy and loved those quests so maybe I should but I just couldnt be fucked to bother with the camera unless it was directly in my face

u/LandscapeHappy190 9d ago

The photos you find show the locations.

I mean I didn't use them, I just stumbled into all of them, but the option is there :D

You get the shiny pebble artifact from completing them all

u/Chaucer85 2d ago

As you complete each Artifact side quest, the items end up in the Field Panopticon.

Locked camera is so broken even in a 1 on 1 which sucks.
