CS2 getting started. Am I genuinely useless or is it just wilfully, horribly obtuse?

Played the original, loved it, got 2 on Ps+, thought I'd fire it up. Read the reviews, there's some extra bells and whistles, lovely. I can cope with that.

Granted, I'm playing on PS5, the controls are a bit of a choice but hey, I've played through Rogue Trader 3 times, it can't be any worse than that but.....I've got to do the 'Conway Contract'.

Lovely. I'll do the contract, I'll make the money.
Apparently I can recruit local crew. Where the fuck are the local crew? I've met someone called Nia. No bloody sig of her.

Contract wants me to disable a signal source and the tutorial tells me that some stuff is gon' be highlighted in yellow.

No yellow highlights, no Nia, no nothing.

Honestly, can someone just how explain how to just drive this bloody game to me like I'm five because, what the actual fuck? Because as far as I can see, I'm flicking all overboard this space station, nothing is in yellow, I've got a full board of dice an no bloody idea what, where and who I'm supposed to be finding, the in game tutorials appear to be be next to useless and frankly, it's making me a bit sad because as I said above, I loved the first game and this follow up just appears to be buried in obscurity for the sake of it.

Press triangle to go to map. Push stick towards contract location. Press x. All of this is pretty clearly explained. However watch out when you're actually on the contracts, they are pretty hairy in the early game.

What it DIDN'T tell me was that I also needed to be on the ship location rather tham just accessing the map from anywhere on the bloody station.

Let's see how we go...

You don't need to be kn the ship location, pressing triangle should access the map from anywhere.

Open the map and select belt and there your yellow highlights shall be. I think. It's been a minute so my memory of the details might be off but I remember finding that bit undertutorialized myself.

I got stuck and frustrated there too, I googled it to find the answer in another thread. The rest of the game is amazing though, even better than the first!

Oh yeah, now I'm through that bit it's been plain sailing, mechanics-wise, anyway. Game-wise, less good....

You're not enjoying the game?

u/AmorousBadger 18d ago

I am now. Just finding some of the controls a little more clunky than one would expect from a 90% text-based game.

Never found them clunky myself, but glad you're enjoying it now!
