They just need to stick with these. Simple and effective.

Agreed. Definitely triggered.
I restarted a playthrough of TP with some friends yesterday, and holy shit it has awful pacing. Two hours in and we're still doing tutorial shit. It's awful. Just let me play the fucking game.
>>339975462
I restarted Dead Space recently and had to endure tedious and predictable shit that's even worse than Doom 3 exposition and when I exited the game it turns out it didn't autosave. That's like 20 minutes of nothing.
>>339975212
A good game should have skippable cutscenes and logos, or should at least ASK if you want to see them first (with a disclaimer that you probably won't understand the plot in the first few hours). Also - fuck tutorials, that's what instruction manuals are for. It's not fucking Ulysses or The Tempest, but a picture of a keyboard/gamepad and a little bit of text, surely the ADHD generation can stomach this much.

games dont come with physical media to enclose guides and no one plays optional tutorials
the solution is to make every game include a tutorial with the most trivial things in them
whats even worse than tutorials are long, loud scripted cinematics that try to build tension but do nothing more but take the player's control away. im looking at you, BF4 and Tomb Raider
>>339975802
The worst part is that I get it. They have to make the game under the assumption that whoever's playing as never played a game before. But christ, there's good ways to do tutorials that don't feel like I'm being hit over the head with dialogue boxes and "helpful" hints.
>>339975983
The problem is that gaming has to be accessible now and they know most people will buy a game and just start playing it. Fuck, manuals haven't even really been a thing for several years now.

>Fuck, manuals haven't even really been a thing for several years now.
I know, and they used to be works of art unto themselves, or at least incredibly helpful. Morrowind GOTY had a visual walkthrough/map of Vvardenfel/hintbook and a few example builds, along with info on characters, attributes and birthsigns. Nowadays I need to spend 15-20 minutes browsing GameFaqs to find an okay guide.

The solution is simple, skip the tutorial or give the option to do so. The problem is the 'narrative design' pushed by shit companies like Valve in Half Life where you're given 'agency' in a sense that you have to walk side by side with character giving you exposition for minutes on end.
what does pussy taste like? what does emma's pussy taste like? no salty coins and milk answer plese
sorry i'm a little drunk
I play games that I don't like more if they start near instantly, like Binding of Isaac for example.

I don't understand games that have a "quit" option that takes you to a main menu that has only two options: "quit to desktop" or "start game". Why not just quit to desktop?
Even worse are games that have a "quit" option in-game that takes you to a splash screen that makes you press a button to go back to the menu to let you quit the game. It's really bizarre.
>>339975212
Dear god its shit. Also remember Asscred 1 ? You had to exit the game like 10 times to actually exit.
>>339975212
One of the not many things Xenoblade X did right.
>tfw no emma watson gf
>>339977840
Still ended up being stuck on the main menu for the godly theme though.
>>339977704
That sounds like console/arcade legacy.

>Ever wanting a disgusting and degenerate pushing feminist coalburning and gloablist piece of whorish trash when you can have a pure asian waifu such as Mei
>>339978305
I dont think you realize how little I care about her being a feminist
because I really...really couldnt care less
and asians are probably the least attractive kind of women in the world besides she-boons
>>339978305
>all these 7/10 thicc cuties coming out of the woodwork to cosplay Mei

God bless Overwatch. I'm literally never buying this game, but I will jerk until the sun dies.

>misquoting Edmund Burke to push her shitty agenda
This guy gets it
>>339978401
I bet you're the kind of guy who would subjugated himself to get a woman like that. Let her walk all over you if it meant the slightest chance of getting some pussy. Putting her on a pedestal and worshiping her, hoping that she'll be grateful for it.
If so, you're what's wrong with men and masculinity. You need to learn to be happy with yourself first.
>>339978305
What is "coalburning"
>>339978759
thats quite the projecting there, lad
>>339978065
DaS 3 too.At least the game crashed often enough that I didn't have to press quit very often
>>339978065
>press alt+f4
>game saves automatically

how hard was that
>>339978759
i'd get both my arms cut if it meant getting a look at emma watson's pussy through binoculars from a few blocks away
>>339978906
when white women have sex with black men i think
>>339975212
Turn off tutorials you fucking pussy
>>339979526
And there it is
You either need to get with the mgtow program or kill yourself
>>339978305
But female pandaren who loves ice puns is not real.
>>339979612
>turn off tutorials
>>339979649
mgtow, more like mgcow, like ur girlfriend u fucking faggot
>>339980272
Scathing.
>>339980490
Yeowch? more like Meowch, cuz ur girlfriend is a fucking alley cat u fag
>>339980490
of course it's the weeb the one who wouldn't fuck emma watson
>>339976085
>no one plays optional tutorials
That's because I want to figure shit out on my own and I'll have the controls down in like five minutes, tops.
Unless your game is really fucking complex, don't force a tutorial god fucking damnit
>>339980728
If you fuck her, you validate her
It's a little thing called self-respect. Fairly new invention, might not have reached these parts yet. You should try it sometime.
>>339979404
Saves can get corrupted if you do that

alright this bait is getting out of hand
>>339979649
>mgtow
>or kill yourself
but mgtow is kinda like killing yourself, killing your love life
>>339981000
there are plently of attractive women, it matters not if emma watson exists or not and she is not even in reach, she is in lala land playing harry potter
>>339981517
You'd rather life your life as a slave to women? Begging and scraping for their approval? Being subject to their whims?
>>339981708
do you really want me to respond to this bait?
