9:20 So that's telling you that you have an incoming message, turn the knob to line up the indicator with the blinking light, and you send/receive messages with the red buttons at the top. Certain missions will require you to receive and acknowledge orders from command before you can complete the objective .
turning the dedicated "comms" knob in a lockpicking minigame to acknowledge your orders lol
I only played it a couple of times at an internet cafe, but it was a ton of fun.
Such a cool game. Glad I got to play my cousin's copy of the game and fiddle with the controller, very immersive and really feels like a mech simulator.
Always thought this game looked cool, but never owned an original Xbox and was a broke teenager who couldn't drop that amount of money on one game. A local game store actually had it in a display case and it'd be worth much more today
It's so ludicrous that this is a flight sim tier controller meant for one game. In a good way, wish big gaming companies had this kind of creativity today.
