There's a computer in the large hall right next to it.
Finally had time to play the game for real, outside of validating crack by "get out of hideout, jump into a pool of tentacles, wait if something breaks besides character orifices".
Tutorial is probably the first thing in this game's history that made it actually feel like a real game. IMO before it always felt like a sandbox where more maps, cyberware and shit were thrown into. But dev won't be dev if he didn' try to fuck it up a lot.
First, why the hell tutorial tries to make the player very uncomfortable? I understand this game tries to be "porn Tarkov", but what the hell with that red lighting on the level? Mix that with tons of dark places and I literally dropped it when entering lab underground. I did play City map before and it wasn't as unsettling as this shit.
Second, making NPCs extremely stupid is probably good, but dev made them literally retarded. Even if you wanted to delay shooting when enemy notices you, make it natural - bots literally stall for 30 seconds looking at you. I dunno, add some voice lines like "who are you, drop your weapons, this is the last warning" etc.
I remember at the start of this project dev stated he had prior game development experience. Probably that's true. But to develop a good game you have to be not only a good developer - you should also play lot's of other games too. To do something right you need examples to learn on other's mistakes and wins.
I don't mind it to be gory horror. But if you do a tutorial you at least have to make sure player actually can see what you are trying to show. I don't remember any game that starts tutorial like this. Heck, it would be much better if dev added a companion, if only as a voice over comms, and start it like "hey rookie, this is your first real mission, but I will remind you in case you forgot something, bla bla bla.....". And then you can write sandbox into plot, like something goes wrong, you loose all connection to your team (lore justification of Coprorate uniform?) and need to survive from scratch.
Really? I checked the hall and saw nothing.. And why would you even need to hack open a fence anyway? Eh whatever maybe I'll replay the tutorial in like god mode or something and rush to the end.
check the radar like object i think there is only one object inside the hall, go near it and look down a hack menu will appear which u need to hack it thankfully it doesnt need hacking tools... only health is drain if u fail the advance hack...i suggest u give yourself hacking cyber enhancements to prolong the hack timer... or u might be spending hrs trying to hack it what a time sink...
Yeah I found it. Could've sworn I went up to it last time and there was no prompt but maybe I just missed it.
TBH I'm quite sure that this tutorial was not meant to be a tutorial, but pushed to being one. This is just story introduction, and tutorial is squished here, and it is not perfect both as a tutorial and story mission ( I died 3 times after falling to the water, couse I did not knew where to go ). It is trying to show game aspects that are not/ are not explained in hideout, and in this way it's doing okay-ish job. But if to consider that this is his first take at story more linear mission, it's good, nothing to fancy, but way better than PH quests that we had before. Yeah, some more text explaning or as you said comms companion would be welcome, but as I said, it's not bad tbh, and one man team can justify quite a lot.
Yeah, I agree here.
