Hey Bird! I'm Morose & Lugubrious
I prefer steamed as well. my favorite is probably shock-blanched, then stir fried really hot with some salty & spicy asian sauce. that's the stuff.
That's some serious roleplaying by the computer if the characters were fooled into thinking you of all people would set a human being on fire.

+2I am more likely to steam you, but otherwise agree completely.

I said it ALMOST made me do it. I got past it and actually found a game that I enjoyed tremendously and can newer stop praising since. But it is still a black mark on an otherwise superb product which is what makes it stand out all the more and bitterly.Then don't play the tutorial and get on with the first mission. Did you refund the first game for doing that too?
My entire point is that tightly scripted tutorials are a bad idea because they represent a very bad tool to teach anyone anything for the reasons I explained. And because it is generally frustrating for a player to have control taken away from them in such a jarring way.Its not a loss, because it’s a tightly scripted tutorial. It is all very clearly on rails.
It’s a demonstration pseudo-game so complaints about playability/game design are very very silly.
You know what? Even if you hate hardboiled eggs for some inexplicable reason, I'm going to try some of this. I have to defreeze the family freezer and there's two bags of frozen broccoli. Your proposal (boiling the danged thing) is ridiculous, because it always results in inedible stuff. However, the stir-fry proposal seems acceptable. To keep with the topic, please. A tutorial. What kind of spices, condiments, etc. should be added? Should they be eaten alone or with something else? Elaborate.hello i am broccoli

If I saw that sort of stupid decision in an otherwise bad game I wouldn't be complaining to this day. I would just have turned the game off and walked away because it was a bad game and forgotten all about it. But these guys knew better demonstrably by the fact that the game is actually great. Which is what keeps the frustration fresh in my mind.

Learning any complex system like a game is about experimentation. And yes, you do need hints and instructions to guide that experimentation. But if a tutorial mechanically forces you to take action after action as it demands than you are learning nothing. You do not understand why that action is required. You do not understand the nuance of the system underlying it. All you learn is that it is an action you must take to proceed with the game.
That's like being given a math test and told you had to write down 3 as the solution to problem #1 to get an A. Great. All you learned is that #1 = 3.
A good tutorial would have given you a few turns to muck about with movement and cover and stuff with a flashing objective marker off in the middle distance. And than introduced you to combat once you decide enough is enough it's time to walk over to that marker.
Don't you mean defrost?I have to defreeze the family freezer
No. I have to defreeze (or unfreeze) everything that is inside it. The defrosting of the freezer itself shall be conducted by self-appointed experts.Don't you mean defrost?![]()

The answer remains as in the last game: Bring it.

Then the word you want is "thaw". As in "Thaw the contents of the freezer."No. I have to defreeze (or unfreeze) everything that is inside it. The defrosting of the freezer itself shall be conducted by self-appointed experts.
Get yourself one of these (bamboo steamer):Elaborate.
