Right,. I am not afraid to admit it. I'm an old fogey brought up on computer games with keyboards and then later on keyboards and mice. This game is my first meeting with a games console and very strange looking controller which looks like a mutant love child of a Gallente fighter and a Rubik's Cube with a random assortment of buttons.
I admit readily that I am hopeless at this game but I need to know if my own skills need to improve or whether the skills of my character can improve so that I can get a shot on target at least once in a while. I admit that it's personal ineptitude which is causing me to either drop a live hand grenade at my feet or reload the weapon when attacked but I wonder if character skills will help to get a shot on target.
At least after a few games I get to see who has killed me (about three times in twenty) but I am impressed at those chaps who can leap over a blast wall, hit the floor and then shoot me square in the head. Is this player skill or character skill?
Tomorrow I hope to get at least one volley on target; even if it's my own team-mate. |

Thanks, I will persevere. So it's going to be left to me to improve then?
When I mentioned early games - I meant playing Lunar Lander on a teletype terminal over a timeshare back in the mid seventies and churning out half a mle of paper each game. |

Thanks ever so much for the messages.
I actually got someone today. I am not sure whether to sympathise with them or not but I got a kill.
I am still playing with 'bass player fingers' and today, for example, I had a perfect opportunty to kill two enemies and had them all lined up in my sights and I couldn't miss...
...I reloaded at them and then respawned. Sigh.
Getting there but it's hard. Havig great fun and if I don't get killed more than a dozen times in a game then I seem that to be a minor, no make that a major, success.
Thanks for the feedback. I am not going to return back to Collossal Cave nor to Myst though those do match my skills and speed. My wife has bought me Bioshock to play and I am just sitting in a corner blubbling away to myself...
