8page instruction booklet WTH??

[jam201984]

Considering the size of this game why is the instruction book so small and the only information in it is the controller layout and nothing else, what about elements,currency's reputation,egos,perks,enemy types, effects, need I go on???

Most games these days are doing away with paper booklets in favor of in game or online manual

sadly like ev08u said most games are like this these days it was so much better when there was acctual information in the booklets like the story and characters and there was information regarding weapons and powers and such i used to buy games and on the way home id be all excited and look at the pics and story in the booklets i miss those booklets

but i guess people cant be cutting rainforrests down just to give us a few extra words but i miss the old booklets

[jam201984]

Long gone are days of reading a game manual (or Nintendo Power) on the throne.

Welcome to 2013. ;_;

8 PAGES???? How difficult is this game thats triple the size of other booklets. Pre-order cancelled.

lol. Seriously though, thats actually more than most other booklets including the other language pages. The XCOM manual has 8 pages IIRC but half are in French.

to be fair who really reads them anyway because i know i dont

Must games also have tutorial level to get the player use to the mechanics of the game..

I would think a game of this size need a full blown strategy guide for the scale.
