I’m a casual gamer so perhaps this has been made hundreds of times and I just ignore it.
So let’s say you play your game, things don’t go well so you go back and reload a save. Now, with your current knowledge you can get things right and that’s usually how it goes with games.
Is there any game that takes this into the plot as something necessary by design (say for example, the main character is supposed to be clairvoyant or something)? You play, your character gets things wrong the first time, but now when you reload your character will obviously do everything right, almost as if they were clairvoyant/psychic/etc because that’s exactly what your character is. The only way to beat the game is to explore a variety of outcomes in order to gather information until you get it right, but instead of this being immersion breaking it’s actually supported by the plot itself.
Not sure if I’m making sense here or maybe I ate the wrong kind of cookies, you tell me…
I have tried over and over to get into this since everyone says that. I get bored or frustrated long before anything interesting happens and quit.
How do I push through to care enough to keep going?
Just do it, you just push through and the story will drag you kicking and screaming to the end.
The end scene has been my desktop background for years now
Learn patience? :p
Ain’t got time for that.
Try again in 10 years
Obvious spoilers for people who’re still playing, but: Push through what exactly? Have you gotten to the main game loop? Do you know what’s the mechanic I’m hinting at on my original answer? Does 22minutes mean anything to you?
I’m going to assume yes (if not, push through until this makes sense). Now you have a whole solar system to explore. One thing that I didn’t noticed at the beginning and made me frustrated, there’s a computer on your ship, you have log entries there, sometimes reading those logs might give you a push onto what to explore next. That being said, this game is all about exploration, every planet has interesting things to explore, I’m not going to spoil too much, but it’s all about exploring and figuring out stuff, if you’re getting bored you don’t know what to do, if you’re getting frustrated you might be trying to solve a problem without all of the puzzle pieces, go out, explotó other places and you might find something that helps you.
I get bored and annoyed long before the ship. I think I made it there once.
Then there’s nothing I can tell you. You haven’t even finished the game tutorial. I just found a video on YouTube of someone playing, the tutorial is around 20 minutes, after that you get into the game proper, once you get to the ship that’s when the game starts.
Sorry I replied earlier but to the wrong person.
I did want to thank you for the response. Yeah the tutorial drove me nuts wandering around and then tying to get where I needed to go, and finding the places on the map just bored me.
But I will save your response, and when I give it a go again if I need to go with the spoiler I will.
Thanks.
Man you really gotta get on the ship, once you’re on that the world is your oyster.
Except for the place with the fish don’t go there
