Flying Wild Hog says they are looking into this "small issue" and hope to have it patched soon. I got hit by this last night on PS4 and lost 3 hours of progress. Just wanted to warn folks to avoid purchase until this is fixed. Really a huge downer, as I was having a great time up until that point.

By a lot. The Melee system in the game works really well, especially if you use the advanced weapon control option.

Ok, it looks like it happens when doing the trials specifically. So don't do the trials until this is fixed.
I have not had this issue so far but I experienced a couple of other bugs within my six hours of playtime.
- I've seen enemies in T-poses
- huge enemies clipping through the world from underground sections (I saw half the guy above ground)
- I can sometimes and suddently not walk fluidly anymore, you can only "stutter" into directions. This is a major issue and can only be rectified by going back to the main menu and load the save again. It happened about 5-6 times to me.
- the "aim assist"-option keeps turning itself on again every time I start up the game, I think it even happens when returning to the main menu and loading the save again
The game is really fun but it desperately needs a patch. I haven't seen anything this buggy on consoles for a very long time... (I didn't play ME Andromeda)

And considering it took so long to come to consoles it's kinda inexcusable.
I wonder if the PC version still has any of those flaws you mentioned.
Fuck this shit. I'm done with this game.
Lost 10 skill points and 300.000 money because of the save bug yesterday. Missions still count as completed.
Hands off the console version of the game, guys! This game needs a patch or two at least (see also the other issues that I mentioned).
Also, while the first impressions of the game were pretty decent and I really got into crafting upgrade items and upgrading my weapons, it became very apparent since that SW2 is basically "Fetchquest - The Game". The more I play, the more tedious and monotonous it becomes. The game shows almost all of its cards within the first couple hours (environments, enemy types) and then never really mixes it up except with new guns. I've been fighting the same guys in same-y randomly created levels for the last 15 hours. This coupled with a save bug that causes you to lose hours of progress is just a perfect recipe for frustration.
Writing and voice acting are cringe-worthy btw, and in 99% of cases not in a good way.
Whoever put this on the same level as the tightly designed DOOM is insane. SW2's saving grace are its shooting mechanics and some nice vegetation graphics. Everything else is mediocre at best. If you want more arcade shooting action after completing DOOM, I'd wholeheartedly recommend CoJ Gunslinger instead of this.
