I still remember frantically trying to finish the game in under 3 hours for the bonus. Had everything written down in front of me step by step that I needed to do to complete it.
The notes I used were from playing over and over, not from the internet, which I didn't have access to back then. Magazines gave hints, but I had to work it all out myself. Games these days are missing that. Too much information before I even start a game.
@d1m1m1: I just hope you never lose your sight or hearing, dude.
You do make a point, no one wants to stifle technology (I'd have a bionic ear implanted anytime). But not when players feel pushed from enjoying a game because developers advertising the only reliable attack cues come from sound direction. There has to be other options too.
Try playing a game with the screen turned off and only surround sound to help you. Then try playing without the sound and only the visuals. See which one you can live without to be a gamer.
@d1m1m1: Which is what I stated after the first line.
The practice of quoting out of context (sometimes referred to as "contextomy" and quote mining), is an informal fallacy and a type of false attribution in which a passage is removed from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning.
Which doesn't help gamers with hearing problems. I'm deaf in my left ear and I know of others with hearing difficulties. I've got a beyerdynamic DT252 rigged for stereo sound with its one sided speaker for pc gaming. The sound is amazing, but doesn't help for direction location.
I hope this "sound" enhancement isn't the only option for competitive gameplay. On screen red flashes based on direction is still a great option for those like me. Sight is the speed of light, sound is only waves. For people, with hearing impairment, a hand waving in a 360 degree crowd is far faster than just someone yelling from anywhere.
I believe this game is an exclusive for Windows 10; not just for console or PC. The OS and Microsoft's commitment to its importance for any running system is what they are using to link all their hardware together. Having a firm foundation of Windows and its abilities will keep Microsoft at the top of their game - according to them?
Consoles, PC's and Surface(?) phone running Windows 10 being all connected is where they are heading. Steam is already trying to do this, but lack the support of creating its own mobile device, for now. This is M$ chance to get a good head-start.
