Enjoying the game.

.

The only problem is... there is a bit too much to the game.  Learning things, finding things, making things, and of course doing things.  Remembering how to do things, while trying to fight?  Tapping, or holding, plus multi-key actions.  Pushing the wrong thing can get you killed.  I don't know.

This time around I have figured out a few more things, or more quickly.  But it is a brutal learning curve.  For example, and this is just in one area... combat.  Beside standard attacks, there are potions, and... betterer potions to be used right before a battle (some are enemy specific, some are general), plus oils (to put on weapons, but only against certain enemies), the other things for healing and to grant skills or abilities which help in combat or defense.  Way too much.  And, getting them to all work, with the limits of a console controller?  It's... a bit much.

I am thinking about making a cheat-sheet, for the controller.  You can look up tutorials, which require reading, and often a lot of it.  I just need a quick, concise, description, of how to do what.  I was running into the same problems with Batman.  Just too many requirements for such a small, limited, control device.

So far, playing it on easy mode, I am not getting slaughtered anyway.  Really, I have little interest in timing.  It's not a speed game.  I think the limits on the keypad, how fast it sends the command, and how fast (or slow really) the machine accepts the input and puts it into the game, is why they go with timing, not speed.  Your button mashing is usually off.  And, if you hit too many buttons, of a certain type, when you try to do something else, it just won't happen because the queue is stuffed.  Modern games are... a hassle.

Still, since I'm not dying as often, and can get through, I will.  Until I find a better game.  Bleh.

I'd best get insulin and medicine in.  I'd like to go to bed, but I don't think that will happen quite yet.  Should have showered, couldn't get to it.  Just... weary, too weary.  Not sleepy, just not able to get much going.  Anyway... another bit of kefir.  Some fast acting.  Pill medicine.  Then, as I go to bed, slow acting stuff.  Later, or goodnight.
