I went with the wacky “read the manual” thing. But I am crazy that way.

You probibly would of saved alot of credits if you took the time and read the manual... But the wepon swaping is somthing that alot of people have trouble with.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

games that require manuals are not worth playing in the first place..
(too complicated)..

then again, it is microsoft..

Holiday: You some kinda Commie? Reading the manual.

I did the old sell/buy routine for awhile, until I read a thread one day made by somone asking how to mount captured weapons. I was going to tell him to sell/buy, but before reaching the end of the thread someone told him the correct way. "Cool", I thought.

================================
Bar patron: "You some kind of Nooby?"
Trent: "Uuuh, Huuuh"

I ask for directions when I get lost too. I must be crazy.

I skipped the manual as well, but the jigsaw icon was entirely obvious to me from the very start.

IF YOU READ THE MANUAL(MAN YOU WELL) THEN YOUR A HERETIC




Which is why i have this name

Heretic

First thing I do is put the manual in the paper shredder. I wonder why they waste money making one anyway.

Isn't it more fun to just figure the game out on your own, instead of just having some 55 yr old man write up "instructions" on how to play the game....SCREW HIM!!!!

Kids nowadays... don't you know that once manuals were cool and fun? Ultima series (more than a manual, it was a universe guide, dictionary, spellbook, entry spaces to write your journal in, etc etc), WC series, Force 21 (had a complete guide and a military doctrine). And need I mention Shogun: Total Wars PDF file?

I agree that game manuals nowadays are laughable. But if you could avoid embarrassments like this, then hey, I think you can afford to do some reading every now and then.

AHAHAHAHAHA

You non-D&D types... Back when I was YOUR age, it wasn't a manual if it didn't have chapters. Back in the good ole days of space sims... Where you used BOOKMARKS... 500 pages in size 6 font, and no pretty pictures either.

Yo young whelps... Freelancer doesn't have a manual.. it has a pamphlet.

hmm... I remember those games with 500 pages manuals.

THAT, YOU MUST READ..

freelancer...for all the reasearch they do to have that technology breaking mouse control, requires you to read a manual?..
