There are though. The ciphers from the second Biome were not registering when the game launched and that's the one I already collected and can't collect anymore unless I play again, it seems.
I can't confirm bugs per se, but I can confirm that it took me 183 hours and 4 seconds to platinum the game with the large and I mean LARGE majority of that time spent tracking down the last 2 cyphers that wouldn't spawn. I had to use an online guide and "trick" the game into spawning them for me.

Edit: Just take a look at the "Ciphers Collected" count and sum the total on the right and you'll see what I mean.
Yeah, sounds like you've just had garbage luck with it, which a lot of people have had. I can't remember how many runs it took me to find my last Biome 2 cypher, maybe something like 30 or so. It's not too bad at all to be honest once you know the room you're looking for and just mainline it through the map.
I remember and many other players remember collecting a cipher that didn't count when the game launched.
The glitch was patched in a previous update. You're still missing a super rare one in Biome 2, and the others in Biome 6.
Yeah i could get there pretty fast indeed. I'll get back to it eventually
Yes if you played before one of the patches. 1.4ish maybe? Your case sounds like unlucky RNG though because to my knowledge it was only a couple that could glitch like that.
Not all glitches. That's the main issue. I don't know if I would just waste time trying to collect the one I'm missing. Since I only need to collect scout logs and ciphers I'll probably just restart the game.
iirc the one from Biome 2 is included in that and that's the one I'm missing, the other ones I know that I just have to play more to collect.
It's the quality of life addition people were asked for. Returnal doesn't need a gamechanger. It's the best game of the year.
Where is that total collected? I can't find that info.There are though. The ciphers from the second Biome were not registering when the game launched and that's the one I already collected and can't collect anymore unless I play again, it seems.

No, USB won't work because you can't transfer PS5 saves to USB. They lock cloud saves behind PS plus which does suck.
Wow, fuck Sony. Ironically, this just makes me resent the company and refuse to become a subscriber on principle, because denying such a basic feature from the PS3 and PS4 is scummy af. Guess I'll have to wait for Returnal to come to PC to fully enjoy it smh.
Are people thinking they'll patch out the save scumming work around or is that there to stay? I haven't dug into it yet (own it) but I'm definitely not above using it lol
Can you briefly explain what this is or how you do it? ... asking for a friend.
So when you die, you close the game, copy the cloud save, and reboot?
Man, this is sorcery!Thank you, everyone! Photomode in this is wayyyyyyy too addicting lol.
This was my experience as well. I made an even dumber mistake too and convinced myself that I needed to unlock all of the weapon traits for every single weapon to get the platinum, since it was there in Sony's guide thing when you hit the Playstation button. I am very much in love with this game, it's easily my game of the year, but getting the last cyphers took me months. Super annoying.
