Has anyone ever quit a game because of the tutorial?

Last one I can remember quitting was the tutorial in the newest SSX. It kept going on and on and on so I got bored and stopped playing.

got stuck on 13th tutorial or smth

No because I don't have the attention span of an ant.
>>
>>342326637
13th tutorial? Just how many are there in skull girls?
>>
Yeah, I don't play through any of these sort-of tutorials that are like prologues which modern games have. They last 2 hours and are generally just 'walk slowly and listen to this character'.

I think it's mostly a pacing issue. That's why I sold Uncharted. Walk for 30 seconds. Cutscene to show you a ship and where to go. Boring 3 minute climbing section to get into ship. Walk slowly the entire length of the ship. Cutscene. Swim out. Curscene. Run away. Cutscene. Insufferable.
>>
>>342326145
What if I don't want to do any A presses?

I started playing ThiAf and part way through the intro area I was spotted by a guard. While I tried to decide if I could get myself out of the situation or if I had to fight the guy, the game instead soft-rebooted the area and told me to sneak through the way it wanted again.

Quit right then.

I almost dropped The Witcher 2 until I realized the tutorial was optional.

Why does that surprise you ?

it's not like it's an unskippable tutorial that starts automatically when you boot the game , it's just an in depth tutorial for people that never touched a fighting game in thei lives

I wanted to see how the game was played before anything else so I did play the tutorial and by the time the next cutscene in the prison cell was playing I was already bores so I just quitted.

Is the game fun? I want to complete that one before I even touch the 3rd but I don't know man, fucking tutorial drained all the fun from me.

Second Miles Edgeworth game. I didn't even care at half-way point into the first case anymore, the amount of handholding from the game made me just close the game and never come back. I am sure it's a wonderful game filled with great cases, but the tutorial got old REALLY fast for me and killed all of my motivation.
>>
Kingdom hearts the whole starting area was so boring and draining

I almost quit Driver for PS1 a while ago as the tutorial was pretty tough, requiring you to pull off like eight fairly precise menouvers in 60 seconds.
I eventually managed it, but holy fuck it was an oddly demanding tutorial section.
>>
>>342330828
It's fun. A lot of people say that the combat is not very good, but it's an enjoyable game.

Got Zombi or whatever it is on psn. Played like 20 minutes of mostly tutorials. Quit and delete. Just drop me in a zombie apocalypse and let me figure shit out.

Doesn't help that it was from ps+ and I was already upset about mediocre 'free' games.

Why devs forcing tutorials?
They got extra money for doing this?

>implying anyone on /v/ has ever played a video game for more than 6 minutes
Seriously, though I haven't. But, I might have just never played a game that had a tutorial long enough to piss me off.
I did drop Bowser's Inside Story, and it's tutorial was irritating me, but I really dropped it because I had pirated it and there were games I paid for that I felt more obliged to play.
>>
>>342338123
To make sure casuals don't complain the game is too hard and they don't know what to do.
Problem is, some of them don't like reading or waiting through cutscenes so they just skip everything and the problems still persist.
>>
>>342326145
I didn't even get that far. It asked me to make/sign into an EA account and I turned it off rather than go find my notepad with that shit written down from the last time I played an EA game online (Timesplitters 3 FP)

Persona 4. I played it for almost two hours, didn't get to the gameplay part of the game and gave up.
>>
>>342338278
This. I made a game that didn't have a tutorial but explained everything with gameplay.

Then, you go into the world and can go wherever you want, so if a level is too much difficult you can go to another until you get the hang of everything and become able to clear the "hard" level.

People, mostly reviewers didn't even know how to use the basic mechanic (that is shown in the first level in a not-so-subtle way) and became "frustrated" because they couldn't clear the second level, they didn't know that they could have chose another "second" level.

Bunch of retards

Introduced a friend of mine to Deus Ex. He quit during the tutorial because it was too hard and he kept getting killed. I tried explaining that it's not a run and gun game, and it's not fast-paced. He didn't understand me and decided to play Skyrim instead. I was pretty disappointed. He loves conspiracies and shit, too.

I've played some games with horrible tutorials but none have ever bothered me so much I couldn't play on except Mario & Luigi Dream Team on the 3DS.
Literally 15 hours into the game and they were still stopping me every 5 minutes to explain stuff to me.
So disappointed as I was hyped for that game.
