That First Try: Feeling Totally Lost
So, I saw folks talking about this Giant Wanted Game thing online. Looked wild! People climbing buildings, getting chased by massive AI monsters? Yeah, I had to try it. Booted it up last weekend. Big mistake going straight into the “New Game” button. Shoulda done homework first.
Loaded into this massive city map. Cool graphics, yeah. Then BAM! Huge red flashing lights, sirens blaring, some angry robot voice screaming about detecting me. Freaked me out! Saw this absolutely gigantic… thing stomping towards me down the street. My guy felt so slow. Couldn’t figure out how to jump properly, kept tripping over stuff. Got squashed like a bug in like 20 seconds flat. Just stared at the ‘Game Over’ screen. What even happened?
Taking a Step Back: Figuring Out the Basics
Okay, pride wounded. Needed to start simpler. Went digging. Found some beginner guides, watched a few clips of people actually surviving longer than a minute. Seems I missed some crucial stuff.
- Tip 1: Don’t Run Blind! There’s a minimap? Yeah, top corner. Shows the Giant’s patrol route. Bright red path. Huge! Started paying attention to that instead of just panicking when the sirens went off.
- Tip 2: Hiding is Smart, Not Cheating. Seriously, duck behind cars, slip into alleyways, even crawl under trucks! That big radar thing over your head? It glows brighter when you’re out in the open, screams “HERE I AM!” to the Giant. Tried sneaking behind a dumpster – radar faded way down. Felt like ninja stuff.
Putting Tips Into Practice: Less Dying, More Hiding
Armed with that, jumped back in. Actually paid attention during the start sequence. Learned where the sprint button was properly (Tip 3!). My guy finally moved faster than a sleepy snail.
Saw the minimap flash red – Giant incoming! Heart started pounding again, but instead of freezing, I remembered the lessons. Spotted a beat-up bus nearby.Sprinted over, ducked down behind it (Tip 2!). Held my breath. The ground started shaking, boom… boom… BOOM! Peeked out carefully. Saw giant metal feet stomp right past the bus. Didn’t see me! Minimap showed the red patrol path moving away. First time I avoided a giant! Felt amazing.
Surviving a Little Longer: Getting Crafty
Okay, hiding works. But you gotta move eventually. The city blocks are big, and that Giant covers ground fast. Tried just sprinting across a wide street. Sirens INSTANTLY blared (Tip 1 failure! Open space = bad). Smushed. Again.
Next life, thought smarter. Spotted rooftops. Tip 4: Verticality is Your Friend. Learned how to climb properly (hold jump near ledges). Scrambled up a fire escape onto a lower roof. Way safer! Could see the Giant patrolling streets below without it seeing me easily. Hopped across some roofs to get closer to a different area. No sirens!
The Real Game-Changer: Using Distractions!
Big breakthrough moment. Saw a parked police car near an intersection. My guy has this… beeping device? Looked it up quick – Tip 5: Use Tools! Activated it near the car. It started flashing lights and making loud siren noises! Dove behind a brick wall nearby. Giant stomped right over, attracted to the noise! Started smashing the decoy car. That bought me precious seconds to slip past behind its back, deeper into a maze of alleyways.Felt like a genius!
Wrapping Up My Starter Session
Finally made it maybe 8-10 minutes? Got too cocky trying to climb a really tall building, messed up the jump. Giant grabbed my leg. Oops. But man, from dying instantly to actually evading, hiding, climbing, and tricking the big guy? Massive difference.
So, for anyone starting out, seriously:
- Minimap is life. Watch that Giant path!
- Duck and cover constantly. Break line of sight.
- Sprint isn’t always the answer. Use it wisely.
- Get off the street level. Roofs are better.
- Make some noise… away from you! Distract that metal monster.
Went from hopeless to hopeful in one session. Hands were sweating, controller felt sticky, totally worth it. Now I just need to figure out how to last longer than 10 minutes!
