I am a new player to the game, like many are now, and I believe coming at this from fresh eyes is important, because the game has a level of tedium and difficulty that will be insurmountable to all but those who are willing to do internet research, constant trial and error, and in general waste a lot more time than the average player would want to. Here is my story thus far.
Since you've been lingering around the forums and checking in since you wrote this I will assume that you've continued to play.
How is your experience now?
Have you figured out that you do not speak for the "average player" and that you should never attempt to do so again in the future?
A lengthy look at Steam's forums, where the majority of average players live by virtue of that game being available only on Steam for a period of time, and you will not see anything remotely similar to what you were claiming here.
You initially found the game hard and that's okay. Not everyone can master a computer game on their first go around. Sometimes a game's systems will click and sometimes it takes a bit to figure out.
But, regardless of that, I am curious as to how your experience with the game is now. How is it going thus far?
