Yep, they just show up as normal "side quests". I didn't even realise they were DLC when I started them lol
Are you playing in performance mode? It's pretty responsive for me.
...I don't understand how anyone could be confused here, ngl. And I didn't pay tons of attention to the story and ignored most of the documents/etc.
Yeah I didn't read a single one lol. Every now and then I peek at one document, read the first two lines, then my eyes glaze over and I close it. I can't imagine how long the game would take if one were to read every single one.
I liked it, thought it was pretty useful against the enemies that could turn invisible as I could control when to trigger the explosion and basically check where they were.
It's the best part of the game tho!
There's no rhyme or reason to when side missions appear, and I've had them pop up right as the main mission switches over, which leads to confusion. Furthermore, the side missions that don't pop up at those times by coincidence still aren't specifically described as optional. Look at DOOM [2016] as an example as to how optional challenges should be handled. They're clearly designated with portals. Control just throws side missions at you seemingly at random, and it does an abysmal job of explaining what you're supposed to do and whether you HAVE to do it.
I don't know what to tell you. Those missions that pop at random are clearly optional. They are timed, and you fail them if you die, but they come back regularly, and have no story attached to them, so clearly they're just optional objectives you can ignore as you please. Sorry but it's a weird complaint to me.
They're only used as a tutorial mechanic, specifically to show you that there are other ways of hurting enemies, or force you to use defensive abilities in a tutorialized setting.
I don't think so, it works perfectly for everything else...plus another poster had the same problem but managed to fix it with a reload...but that isn't working for me.
I'd still be looking at the controller readings from Windows. Maybe the DualSense has an issue with 'negative deadzone' where the it doesn't correctly register when the stick is fully on the outside? And Control might just require it to be that much further out than other games? I'm not saying it isn't a bug, but so far we can't rule out hardware failure yet.
Those timed missions are basically a grind for resources and you can skip them without any consequences.
Happens in both modes and I think others have had the same issues in the thread, it crashes somewhat often for me. Once or twice per session.
