Useful Tips for Sonic Adventure 2 (Crucial for first-time players)

Описание: I tried to make this video as straight to the point and short as possible while still giving all of the most important information, you will probably need to pause sometimes to understand everything shown on-screen.

(Mods have been updated since the video came out, here are the updated mods to actually install)
•Retranslated Hints: https://gamebanana.com/mods/350607

To install those mods you will need the "SA2ModLoader", just download from this link and extract the files anywhere in your computer.

With the Mod Loader opened, you can now use the "1-CLICK INSTALL" button from the mods' pages.

[[[Other stuff to explain]]]

I only took in consideration mods that are basically plug-and-play (or download-extract-play?) and don't create inconsistencies with other parts of the game.
While there are mods like action remapping and SA1-like radar, these are mods that change fundamental aspects of the game and are not put in account the experience as a whole since they don't change any tutorial related information, which might confuse players that are unaware, and some have important things to configure, which is not friendly at all for a new player.
When people share those mods lists, they seem to not consider that a new player wants something quick and easy to setup, that's the reality, nobody wants to spend hours entering links, downloading mods, installing, putting in the right order and see game crashes just to start playing, people want to have fun quickly, how will a mod that fixes a texture on an enemy genuinely affect one's experience? It needs to be just the basic essential stuff.
So no, you don't need to install loads of mods to enjoy this game, basically just those three ones.

I didn't include Cutscene Revamp because you have to delete the ADX folder of this mod so it works with Volume Controls, it's not so intuitive and it's just for cutscene visuals stuff which is not as relevant as the gameplay.
