(I certainly equipped my weapon)

If you spent 4 hours on the tutorial boss, it’s a problem on your end.
Again, it’s clear you enjoy games of all ‘difficulty’ ratings. But apparently something about the immediacy of confronting the Asylum Demon caused you to go haywire.

Here’s the other possibility: you didn’t equip your weapon.

Cheers.

I dunno man, I’m sure other people have said as much, but I for one really admire Spec Ops’ callously unsubtle contempt for the player. It’s a game that actively hates and sneers at the person playing it in an openly hostile way, refreshingly devoid of any attempt to be clever or smart. It’s the videogame equivalent of explicitly telling someone that they are a spectacular asshole, rather than passive-aggressively implying as much and taking the risk that they won’t get the hint. But then I’m often frustrated by subtlety, because usually the subject of an intended insult doesn’t even realize they’re being insulted, and where’s the fun in that?

Something about having kids now…

I’d be in your boat if it hadn’t let me in then shut, locked, bolted, and boarded up the door behind me.

Once I get out of here I’m going to check out the many, many games on this list I missed.

Send help.
