Not really something I was hoping to happen, but se la vie.

People can't figure stuff out on their own anymore, and I get it. People don't want the school of hard knocks in their game, nobody wants things to ever be hard. It's really up to the developers how/when they present what they find the challenge of the game will be.

Hopefully we don't see too many circles allover the place, personally I don't need to see a giant cone when a Malboro uses "Bad breath" I just get the hell out of the way. If i really need to figure out the distance it's a matter of trial and error, and becoming a stronger player from your knowledge and not just your gear.
