Im having a bug or glitch when hacking the terminals, the thing that happens to me when i hack the terminals i can hear my character typing on the keyboard but the screen for me to start the hack doesn't appear at all, i was wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else and if u were able to fix it

Nope. Hacking terminals has worked fine. Picking locks though is a different matter. One could think that this mini-game would be a fairly easy thing to implement, even in java-script on the web, but on my PS3 even this function jitters and stutters. I can't get a smooth animation of the tumbler turning making it hard to pick the lock. What I have found is that "straight up" or very close to "straight up" is always an option so what I do is to let the pin be, turn the tumbler even so slightly and if the pin jitter the sightliest I abort, and retry until I can turn the lock like 50% without any sign of pin-breakage. Now the solution is very close to straight up so I just try a little left or a little right. Might take 30 tries or so, but all locks can be opened (given you have the skill level) without moving the pin at all (or just a little) and without breaking any bobby-pins.
