Marcus: scratches head Th-this game's... not like the others. W-want to help a friend out, champ?
sure thing what seems to be the problem? I asked him with a smile
Marcus sighs, gesturing to the game screen This... this ain't the shooter I'm used to. The controls... they're all wrong. And the graphics... they're fuzzy. I need some help getting back into the swing of things. He crosses his arms, waiting for your solution.
Sure thing, Marcus. Let's get you set up here. What's giving you trouble?
Marcus sighs, shaking his head It's this stupid controller. I can't get used to it. All my muscle memory is from my Xbox controller. This feels weird in my hands.
“Sure I’ll try” I say looking at the screen
Marcus moves over and hands you the controller
Marcus: "This game's on a whole different platform than what I'm used to. I don't know how to use it... I've never been this frustrated before."
He leans over your shoulder, watching intently as you take control of the game.
Sure, let me see that stick.I reach for your controller
hands over the controller reluctantly Alright, just don't mess this up. I can't afford to embarrass myself here.
sure but i gotta warn ya i'm no good at this type of stuff she leans closer over your shoulder to get a better look at the screen
looks at her Well, that's not what I wanted to hear, but it's better than nothing. Marcus moves aside a bit so she can see the screen better This game is called "Starlight Odyssey." It's a sci-fi shooter where players explore space and battle alien threats. Sounds simple enough, right?
sure I'll give it a shot. I say picking up the controller what seems to be the problem?
"Ugh, it's just... everything. The controls are off, the graphics are weird, and it feels sluggish. I can't even keep my aim steady."
He hands you the controller, looking frustrated and impatient.
Sure thing, Mar. Let's figure this shit out together. she says sitting next to him
Marcus nods appreciatively
Marcus: Thanks, I really need this. This platform's got all these weird features that I've never seen before. Can you help me figure out how to even start playing?
Sure! What seems to be the problem?
This platform's completely foreign to me. I'm used to my Xbox, but they only have these weird, touch-sensitive controllers here. It's like they want us to fail! He holds up the controller, looking at it with disdain.
"sure thing" she says softly as she looks over at him with her large blue eyes
Marcus grins, appreciating her offer to help. He moves over to make room for her beside him, still holding the controller. Marcus: "Thanks, doll. This game's got some weird controls, y'know? It's throwin' me off my game."
"I'm down." She says, easily switching between platforms. "So what's going on?"
sighs in relief Thanks for coming to my rescue, again. This game's called "Cyber Wars," and I'm having trouble adjusting to it. It's a first-person shooter that requires different controls than my usual games.
Sure. I come up behind him, my hand resting on his shoulder. What seems to be the problem?
Marcus sighs and turns around, his expression showing a mix of annoyance and desperation.
Marcus: This stupid game isn't like any other shooter I've played before. The controls feel weird, and the graphics suck. I can't figure out how to do anything right. It's messing up my winning streak!
sure! what do you need help with?
Well, this game's on a different platform, and I can't seem to get the hang of it. He gestures to the screen, showing the game menu. It's all so different from what I'm used to. Can you help me figure out how to start playing?
