shout words

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 9:34 am

Hello,

So just got my 2nd word from the monks in the mountain, and now i need to use it 3 times at those target, and i really can't figure out how to use the new word, or how to swap or whatever i'm suposed to do.

Can i actually swap between words myself, or use multiple? or what the hell am i suposed to do?

Is there a manual in the dead tree version? because with steam digital you kinda get thrown into the dark and a lot isn't that obvious to figure out. And the ui isn't helpfull at all, also the tips on the loading screens are really annoying because it loads too fast and you can't even read them.

thanks.

i never played the older games, and there is notting in the game to even hint at the fact you have to press it longer, how are you suposed to figure that out? call me helpless all you want, its just bad game design

When I did that part, it gave an onscreen hint saying to hold it to use more words.

How about.. you experiment. Stop expecting games to hold your hand.

Its people like you that have made games the way they are today. Casual and simplified to [censored].

Hmm yeah possible i missed that, the top left corner text, doesn't really grab attention, i'm sure i've missed all kinds of info from it.

Thanks for the hint.

I spend 20 min experimenting and click in the ui, you can select the words so they become black in the ui, its really confusing if you miss the simple thing of pressing longer. I haven't played a game that used that mechianic in years, so unless you think of it, you can be there for days.
UI stuff has nothing to do with things being easy or casual
