"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

[hilario]

For me, I was little nervous about the time limit, that why I missed some text and I did make it through.

In From the Cold was amazing. Videogames giving you that feeling of desperation and powerlessness is a rare thing to see, and it really makes you feel it. The timer is actually very lenient, it's just there to stress you out.

There was nothing wrong with this solo instance whatsoever. There were plenty of healing kits scattered all around the area for you to patch yourself up, the enemies's aggro range was very generous as long as you paid attention to your surroundings and you had more than enough time to find the fuel and key to power up the magitek armor. It did its job to sell the concept of helplessness and we shouldnt fault it when that was clearly its intention.

Ive cleared that scenario first try and Im usually not one who played a lot of stealth games. Im so happy we had at least SOME form of challenging solo content in the msq every once in a while.

These comments literally do nothing to help anything, anyone. Regardless of the content or situation these comments are used in, and this GCBTW loves to pull these lines the MOMENT someone struggles with something. Trust me, the world is happy and very proud that you never had an issue with completing something, but don't try to invalidate the issues someone else has over something. Offer tips and tricks (which many have done in this situation) and understand it's okay for people to not like something you do. Doesn't mean you need to try to passive aggressively shame someone.

Never was I trying to shame other people for not clearing it the first time. Just saying that its difficulty isnt as hard as others make it out to be, and once you make a couple of mistakes you then realize the pattern and layout of your objectives. Had a friend who was initially frustrated with it but managed to get it the 2nd time around. Boom, there, done. Solo scenario complete.

The latest complaint was:

And what are the odds that you could figure this out on your first go?

To which the answer seems to be.. pretty good. But there is no ask for assistance, just removal.

And then:

I want the opportunity to solve it on my first go.
.

Everyone had the same chance. Many seemed to have figured it out. It honestly wasn't difficult for your average player. It showed you first that fighting outright was dangerous, so you'd know to avoid it. It also spelled it out that you WEREN'T regenerating. The WHERE to go was frustrating, agreed, but it wasn't impossible to get around or to scout out in time.


It could have been designed better, sure. But it wasn't some insurmountable wall.

Very easy mode exists. Use it. It's really not that hard on normal if you just use your map and pay attention to what the quest tells you. You should never be fighting more than one enemy at a time, and if that somehow is a struggle for you than really the problem is you not the quest.

That's the same replies you will always get from the 14 year old's any time you say any game or part of a game is too hard anywhere on the internet. It's just them stroking their epeen.

Surprise! This is what happens whenever someone doesn't give actionable or debatable critique and just complains about something and says that it needs to be removed. Doubly so whenever responses like "Try X", "Do it on Very Easy", "Just take your time." "Here are where you can find things." are responded to with a childish "I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO! IT SHOULD JUST BE GIVEN TO ME!"

Discussion takes 2 people and if the person ostensibly "leading" the discussion is just bitching, then there's not much to discuss except proving the fact that they're in the minority by showing them that a majority of people had no problem with it.
