And I think I tend to read more manuals than most gamers, at least for strategy games and simulators.
But yeah, playing through such story-driven games without paying attention... To each his own, I guess. Myself, I actually think both games wouldn't be that great if you took the great story out of them (and for me, SS2 owes a lot of the merit of its story to its connection to SS1). As shooters/rpg they're far from perfect. SS1 is very technically advanced for its time, and ambitious, but for that reason the controls/interface are overcomplicated bordering on unplayable. Equally, the cyberspace is an extremely cool idea, but I had to set its difficulty to easy (leaving the rest at normal) to avoid becoming frustrated. SS2 could be much, much better as a shooter, specially at the time it was made.

First of all i need advise for some tech problem:
- I play SS2 in full screen.
- I use hybrid 26" Neo monitor, which switches between PC and TV modes by remote device. Resolution 1280x768. Change possible.
- The problem is that i loose 6-8 mm above from my SS2 screen and i am unable to read messages above. Am i clear?
So i take some stuff and then use sign ? to know what is this.
This problem borns another one: My screen ( No SS2 screen) has tendency to move 20 mm left and 10 mm North which confused me. The second one problem disappeared when close SS2.

I will answer all Yr Q but what do You think bout the following:
-There are some stuff - MFD Game player and Swinekeeper?
What is this? Joke or real element of the SS2?
Once again- I do not read WT.
This fact will explain some mistakes in the my gaming.

@Japo
I will agree with You the SS controls/interface are overcomplicated.

@Master
the slow and painful learning curve and asking for advise
No, i will do everything to minimize any Q further..
Pls note i do not ask You:
