7 Genius Tutorial Levels We Didn't Want to Skip Immediately

[@mrtalkative91]

Portal 2 intro doesnt only teach you some things, its a way to see if you use inverted controls or not. when it says look down, you can either press up or down and they'll both look down.

[@Yahriel]

does it modify your controls scheme based on what you do, then? If so, that's brilliant!

[@BossZnakemaster]

That's cool, i didn't know that.

[@eiao99]

mrtalkative91 The first playable level of Halo 2 does also something similar.

[@mrtalkative91]

yea, I think Halo 1 does too. a lot of games do it but people dont notice cause they press up or down without trying both of them. I think I was just being a jerk and it said "look up" so I pressed down and it went up anyway.

[@Fools_Requiem]

No, I'm pretty sure Halo does it like normal and you have the option to change it right after.

[@noelic6744]

Wow, that shadow of mordor tutorial to sneaking and stalking was surprisingly cute.

[@kattaylor2919]

You guys should do a video about all the times video games had you collect things and gave you basically no reward - I'm looking at you AC II, when I spent hours trying to collect all the feathers for Ezio's poor mom, only to find upon googling that a 10 second cutscene and a cape that made me notorious was the entirety of my reward. Screw that, I'll just KZbin the scene!

[@darraghtate440]

Kat Taylor GTAV having the most masterful trolling of all time with the submarine mission too...

[@TheTman9898]

Darragh Tate but the feeling afterwards was a reward in itself..?

[@darraghtate440]

TheTman9898 Not even a tiny little bit.

[@Texas_RedNV]

Destiny counts too. You go out there in Fallen territory on Earth, Moon, Venus and Mars looking for the hidden Golden Chests, for what? Shitty loot and nothing else? No Achievements or even a damn Greimore Card? Fuck that!

[@1967sluggy]

Destiny for the grinding.

[@RRW359]

"And then comes the saddest dolphin simulator in the history of videogames" Yes, as opposed to all those other dolphin simulators I've heard so much about.

[@Furymgs3]

+RRW Well, if it's the only one, it IS automatically the saddest, isn't it ?

[@RRW359]

Furymgs3 It's also the happiest.

[@jestnutz]

+RRW and the funniest

[@RRW359]

Jestaaar And the most serious.

[@EliJ0nes1998]

You mean Ecco the Dolphin?

[@lorryfn4439]

The best tutorial is the one for Dark Souls, where you're given a broken sword and basic movement controls and then get assaulted by an incredibly terrifying demon. Wait...

[@TheAsylumCat]

Laurie Fitton basically the equivalent of teaching your son to walk before kicking him off a cliff and expect him to learn how to swim. and its that kind of parenting is why he will love your abuse.....or be dead.....

[@CBrown]

***** That or he survives to come back at you later in life and skillfully bludgeons you to death with a water balloon or something.

[@wu1ming9shi]

C. Brown Lmao a waterballoon? Better be filled with sand or something else that's hard XD

[@TheAsylumCat]

wu1ming9shi have you ever been hit with a water balloon? shit man, it fucking hurts. especially when its a condom water balloon.

[@wu1ming9shi]

***** lol

[@rpiotte]

I like the one for Skyrim. It shows you the controls while in the moment, and the sequence of events that incorporates using the controls is very fluid, which helps it keep from feeling forced. And at the very end it shows you a big aspect of the game, which is that there are different ways to complete or overcome a task or enemy, and you can choose between your options.

[@eurogamer]

Heh, Mike said fiddly bits.

[@FamousOldProspekts]

huehuehuehue

[@BakaReviews]

***** Some reason your name isn't loading for me

Cobbyster Indieman facepalm to u sir for not getting the joke

[@FamousOldProspekts]

puffnisse Cobbyster Indieman BakaReviews hughgo2 Ladies! Ladies! You're all equally pretty! No need to fight.

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

Not really a tutorial, but Witcher 3 with the whole White Orchard bit was great. I never played a Witcher game before so it tells you everything you need to know in terms of what to do and the main characters

[@Gingrman-mx4sp]

What about Halo? In Halo: CE, the tutorial is disguised as post-cryosleep diagnostics. In Halo 2, it's testing that the new armor works properly, and in Halo 3 the tutorial is making sure you're ok after falling from space. All of these enhance the story, as well as teaching the player basic controls.

[@iissacc]

Halo 4 too but halo can make it on to most lists so it's kind of refreshing

[@anotheralias6062]

No, not creative. Halo tutorial is the most basic of what tutorials are. Standard to the point. Also, enhance is being fan generous. In no way does aiming preference enhance the story, the reasons for doing it may match the story sure. Not enhance though.

[@whiffyclarke]

ODST had the best tutorial.

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Michael Moore Come on mate, the game was released in 2001, it actually was a bit refreshing and inventive back then. Also, it checks if you prefer inverted aim or not, which makes it slightly less tutorial-like in my book.

[@SpyzacFilms]

Kim Stennabb Caesar Halo is by far one of the best games ever created. (Halo 5 please don't suck... or I'm coming for you 343i)

[@ConjahConj]

That Tomb Raider tutorial was beyond awesome. The one where you start off in the mansion with the butler.

[@Kartissa]

I prefer the tutorial from The Last Revelation, personally. Learning the controls from a Master Tomb Raider: the world-famous archaeologist explorer, Werner Von Croy.

[@lilyjean9515]

The mansion was warm and relaxing.

[@skoomadealer5173]

Deadpool tutorial 😂 He literally tells you "press the keys to see if something happens" 😂😂😂

[@supereinstien001]

Good ol' DP🤣

[@anthonygonsalves7020]

All I gotta say is that I'm glad Echo made it onto this list. The tut was cool and the game itself was amazing.

[@theveganape]

Did you play the DC one? It was awesome. No Asterite, though. He was missed! But the 'Hanging Waters' level was incredible!

[@FamousOldProspekts]

I lost my shit at the quick cut with Jane saying 'cheeky'. I don't know why...

[@WheelyMan260]

[@OlpyColpy]

Same and I don't know why either

[@Deepjungalist]

***** Cheeky Nandos

[@carlantaya175]

[@amcghie7]

Locking that butler in the freezer in Tomb Raider 2 was like my earliest memories of playing the PS1.

[@malcolmboyd3467]

he always creeped me out for some reason

[@RRT94]

+Malcolm Boyd I thought I was the only one.

[@malcolmboyd3467]

+Tamim Rahman haha you're not alone! I think it was the groaning noises he made that got to me

[@amcghie7]

Malcolm Boyd That's why he had to be locked away

[@alexanderrahl7034]

+Even Andy and subsequently shot whilst wearing a target lol xD

[@CharliePhair]

Used to be scared to death of the butler in Tomb Raider 2. You'd run away from him quite easily, but no matter where on Lara's estate you went, you'd soon hear the rattling of cutlery on his tray and then he would loom out of the distance. Next to Lara, who was this badass acrobatic adventurer, he was this crusty old man who followed her around very much like how the spectre of death is constantly following everyone of us throughout our finite lives on this planet. Plus I think he farted on occasion. Can't start farting. Especially in front of a lady.

[@richm5626]

"Bard's Tale." At one point during the tutorial, you start swearing at the person telling you to do things. "The A button? What the bloody hell you on about, old man?" is the one quote that always sticks with me.

[@am25deek]

Would you kindly add the entirety of Bioshock?

[@captinobvious4705]

aweshum NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@hughcopson1799]

[@ShiftySetax]

***** The irony in this statement is enough to kill a man.

[@ThatIrishLass]

Jacob Knight Would you kindly kill Tyler, then?

[@cicyflame]

Basic Braining from Psychonauts was one of my favorite tutorials. I was a fan of the museum break-in from Sly 2: Band of Thieves as well though.

[@billlupin8345]

OH MY GOD, I TOTALLY LOCKED THE BUTLER IN THE FREEZER WHEN I WAS A KID! He was creeping me out, and I noticed he followed you in... it was hilarious! I also remember there being a large hedge maze.

[@dawnrising5956]

me and my sister did the same thing to the butler XD

[@willhuey4891]

yeah i remember doing it as a kid too

[@The1Helleri]

I think the tutorial for Fallout 3 has got to be one of my favorites. But, my most favorite tutorial was from the first Fable. It was long. But, it gave the chance to get attached to your character and the world before you even really set out in it. It also provided a real preview for the different styles of play. And, drove home the core appeal which was weighing out a moral choice, and understanding that there is consequence for all actions. As a bonus, getting good at the tutorial would lead to starting off a character in a better position. By the time I finished the tutorial I already knew where I wanted to take my character. And, I felt confident that I had all the per-requisite knowledge to craft my character progression. Which made the first few hours mostly about discovering fun and interesting things. Instead of still finding my footing.

[@bellyit]

Saints Row IV's tutorial has you kill a terrorist leader and deactivate a nuclear missile while Aerosmith plays. That's a tutorial. Because for the protagonist of Saints Row IV, that's no biggie.

[@paulwilliambowling]

b elliott And people want a gritty reboot of the series.... :(

[@BonnieFluff]

Kenny_Cartman i see your new to SR

[@paulwilliambowling]

NYESSSS I'v never played SR1 because I've never owned an Xbox. I'm very aware the series started out more serious (although, 2 had more than it's fair share of humor as well) The fact still remains, that's not what is now. Now it has it's own identiy. Now it stands out. I dont want a reboot to make it blend in with genre better. I want the most over the top shit they can think of. I'm not saying people that like the earlier games more are wrong in their opinion but I dont understand that opinion.

[@redwind18o]

Yeah it stands out as a shitty game series now

[@southparkkenny2]

Kenny_Cartman One thing that made SR2 better than SR3 & 4 was the fact that the characters were human, they actually knew when they were outnumbered and they knew their limits, they still did batshit near lethal stuff, but in SR2 their survival was believable. For example: in SR2 there is a part where Johnny Gat is impaled through the abdomen by Jynichi, it takes him most of the Ronin's story arch for him to heal. while in SR3 there was the whole scene where the boss is smashing through plane windshields and shooting while still falling vertically. SR2 had easier characters to like as well, Carlos played a minor role in the game yet was one of the most well remembered characters in the series. SR2's side missions were funnier as well, Septic Avenger had you spraying literal shit on houses to decrease the property value for the Saints to buy, while SR3 had you drive a car with a tiger in it to make the boss more confident so he could fight Killbane... even though you are still able to continue with the activity after the mission where you fight Killbane. If you haven't played SR2 you should, it also has far more customisation options than SR3 or 4.

[@bentoth9555]

The best tutorial section in any game has to go to the first Portal. It effectively lasts the first 19 chambers, you just don't realize it.

[@Snardbafulator]

Zakley ;)

[@owen4075]

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood had a pretty nifty tutorial in which your 'alone time' with Caterina was interrupted by the side of your house being torn off before you were thrown in at the deep end and taught the controls in a pretty action-packed defence of Monteriggioni

[@keffypoo]

The tutorial in Dragon's Dogma was really well done. You play as the previous Arisen, which is a big part of the plot, but you don't realise that until much later. It truly does not feel like playing a tutorial.

[@oregano837]

I hate it when people put some stupid pop up under another unclosable pop up -_-

[@oregano837]

thats nice i guess

[@AdventurousAnthropologist]

I did it. *I closed the annotation!*

[@AdventurousAnthropologist]

name name Name I didn't even do that. I just moved the mouse so precisely that I was able to get to the close button and actually press it.

[@lizzieholloway9787]

I loved the way you were taught to fight in Assassin's Creed 2, as baby Ezio. It was a brief recap of the same button mashing from the first, and the controls were always in the corner so it wasn't necessary for a long tutorial anyway.

[@kattaylor2919]

The Blood Dragon tutorial was so freaking hilarious.. I love it when he whines "Just let me kill people already!"

[@DarkwingsDesending]

I would also recommend Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines tutorial. Smiling Jack (played by the same voice actor who voiced Bender on Futurama) is your guide and you get to kick a lot of ass. It's also hilarious.

[@eve6262_]

I should probably not say this, for people getting mad at me, but I loved Toriel's Undertale tutorial, where certain runs of the game force you to NOT do what the tutorial says. And, the fake out tutorial at the beginning. And, of course, Goat Mom.

[@Catboy_Disaster]

i agree with you

[@KeishinB237]

+Eve6262 im still figuring out how to beat Undyne in my pacifist playthrough ...

[@MrULTIMATEPWNAGE]

The first Spider-Man game on original XBOX. That sarcastic narrator was the best thing about that game

[@TheTman9898]

I'm still stuck in the tutorial of this game called Life, an 18 year tutorial! Still got one year left but it's nice being unskipable. :P

[@philippaul6039]

I LOVE the first Halo game. Every time I play older games like that I get so much nostalgia its crazy! I explore as much of the ship as I can and see every little keypad and station :) The graphics are pretty bad but it gives me such a cozy feeling lol I love it. And when I get to the bridge of the ship I love seeing the guys work at their stations and stuff. Such a throw back to older games. Jedi Outcast was a perfect example of this. The sounds and everything are awesome.

[@drabnail777]

for puzzling games you need tutorials. but fps should come with optional tutorials. but that would make cod even shorter.

[@epitomeofcake132]

drabnail777 If I'm remembering correctly, that's what Half Life did back in 1998. So good. Especially if you plan on playing through the game again.

[@drabnail777]

PenguinHQ no I think there is a tutorial on the way to the hazard suit.

[@epitomeofcake132]

drabnail777 Really?

[@drabnail777]

yes, a sort of robotic female voice telling you instructions, youtube it.

[@epitomeofcake132]

drabnail777 That was optional.

[@YorickTheJester]

I loved frantically running away from a dragon with my arms tied behind my back in Skyrim. Escaping the dungeons in Oblivion was pretty fun too.

[@LexiathanTG]

I personally like the tutorials from Half Life, Half Life: Blue Shift, and Half Life: Opposing Force. Yes, they can be skipped, but their clever nonetheless. For example, Half Life and Half Life: Blue Shift have a type of "training facility" presumably located in Black Mesa. Half Life: Opposing Force, however, is my personal favorite of the three. I just thought it was pretty cool to be taught the mechanics through a boot camp.

[@Devildustable]

My favorite tutorial segment of any game ever is the first level in Metal Gear Rising: Revengence. Most of the level has you fighting an even more aweome version of a Metal Gear Ray. It is super fun. And considering the awesome music playing in the background, that is a tutorial I keep coming back to.

[@cnj93]

[@BJGvideos]

It isn't specifically stated as a tutorial, but all through the main story of Pokemon Conquest, you keep being given new information on everything from type matchup to items to battle abilities and so on. Many people consider the entire main plot to be the tutorial, which would make the 30+ postgame plots the real meat of the game. Plus they give you an opportunity to play as the main villain and all of his main generals. Not in a "he joins you and you occasionally get to boss him around" way, but you get him as the actual central character for an entire story.

[@WaffleWiz]

I enjoy Bioshock Infinite's carnival/fair tutorial that made you feel petty achievement in the proper setting.

[@420StonerShot]

Man this was actually a pretty awesome video, I wish there were more tutorials like these tho for sure, fallout was probably my favourite one I’ve done

[@00InsertUsernameHere]

Well, to be fair, Portal 2 is like one big tutorial where you learn how gravity works.

[@notsure3522]

The Dead Space 2 intro/tutorial was amazing. Had me hooked from the moment the guy saving you gets torn apart.

[@slyose6154]

At the opening of Fallout 3, i threw a firetruck at my fathers head, and he bled. I kid you not.

[@MrGiovanniPollio]

[@kokodaioh]

Best Tutorial: Super Mario Bros. 1st level 1-1 you have a coin box, goomba(to kill), a mashable block and a pipe as an obstacle(to jump), and you're ready to go

[@KermitTheGamer21]

I always liked the tutorials of the early COD games. COD1 and 2 actually take you through a basic training course, although in COD2 you also actually fight within the same mission. COD3's tutorial was probably my favorite, though. In that scenario, you seem to be a fresh transfer to the unit and the tutorial is played out as Huxley kind of testing your range of skills.

[@taski1]

you should have said "Would you kindly"

[@darkdesigns]

Kotor 1 has a tutorial section that I've always loved. The whole thing was framed as a rather action packed escape from a ship that was about to explode, and set the whole "star wars" tone pretty well. Actually, Dragon Age: Origins, and DA2 also had tutorial sections I really enjoyed. But Kotor has always been one that I never seem to get tired of. (although, the long and boring lull that is Taris always immediately kills my high, after the tutorial is done. -_-)

[@VideoQuestEx]

You don't really playthrough the tutorial in "WWE SmackDown versus RAW 2007" but it was kind of funny to listen to as you watched it.

[@liampollard2661]

One of my personal favorite tutorials was by Titanfall while it wasn't by any means original in its delivery, the opening scene of you entering a training simulator was pretty damn cool.

[@santiagoacostapereira7778]

I laughed so hard with the Blood Dragon tutorial. It's probably my favourite tutorial ever

[@3liony]

What about the portal tutorial? The game was 70% tutorial. (The entirety of the test chambers.)

[@DaBriceisRight]

I love the Dark Souls tutorial. You don't even have to read the instructions, but towards the end it actually hints on how to kill the first boss.

[@Esketh19]

The first Half-life with the hazardous environment course, and Half-life: opposing force where you go to bootcamp where you got discharged if you shot your drill sergeant in the face.

[@Yellow13Firestorm]

Red Alert 3 had a series of training missions where the three main battle tanks taught you how to play the game. All while shooting eachother. Usually the Hammer tank for asking "ridiculous questions". AKA breaking the fourth wall.

[@Chino56751]

How about Modern Warfare 2 ? In the tutorial, the ( future ) villain is standing right there, in that tower, watching you run the assault course...

[@SeanTheKiller100]

Spoilers

[@anotheralias6062]

That is foreboding or ominous. Not a creative tutorial. Also, the call of duty tutorials have always been an obstacle course. Most of these are pretty original in terms of creativity and thought. Basic ones like COD or Halo are basic and over used.

[@Chino56751]

Its creative because the villain appears in the very first level. ( you don't know that at the time, of course.. )

[@isaacramos7640]

well technically he's not a villain to you since your going in a U.S. obstacle course. he betrays task force 141 not the U.S. rangers. so he isn't really a villan

[@Chino56751]

Oh yes he is ! He shot Roach, then burned him alive with gasoline !

[@GingerZombie29]

I think the tutorial levels for darksiders and darksiders 2 are very good, as they are very much a seamless part of the game at the same time as teaching you how to play. ^_^

[@arbaazshaw8123]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines? C'mon it has an amazing tutorial.

[@eleanorsmith7152]

If you ever re-do this list the first cases of the Ace Attorney games are more or less tutorials but they’re all a lot of fun, do a good job of setting up the story and tone of the game, and a few of them (looking at you Apollo Justice) even have some pretty unique twists in them. Plus you can mess up doing simple stuff and the only consequence is that everyone starts mocking you!

[@HeismanJax]

I personally love the tutorial from the first Spiderman game on PS2

[@SentientTrafficConeMan]

Jack Roland When the narrator leaves you for the fighting sequence to go make a sandwich...

[@NextGenVixen]

+John Smith Yup, that's Bruce Campbell. He was in Spider-Man 2 as the narrator as well

[@jefthereaper]

dead space 2's tutorial is pretty much the best tutorial I ever had in a game, mainly as there is pretty much no tutorial as they just drop you in and tell you what button is what at the last second XD "here is your playable character, you figure out the rest"

[@epitomeofcake132]

Does Mega Man X not count as a tutorial level? Guess it never really says PRESS A on the screen.

[@Danbotology]

I think a tutorial level needs to have some sense of self-awareness or 4th wall-breaking narrative to be classified as one. Not that there's really a set standard. Ridin' on cars! *Guitar riff*

[@epitomeofcake132]

Dan Coleman-Goss Suppose so. Mega Man X teaches you without you knowing you're being taught.

I've played a majority of the Tomb Raider games, and exploring Lara's house is usually one of my favourite parts. Especially when I was little and didn't know how to actually play the game- all I did was lock my poor butler in the attic/meat freezer. Gooooood times.

[@sephyrias883]

[@marks7484]

I know i am late, but titanfall 2 tutorial was great. You learned basic mechanics while looking at beutifull landscape, until reach the gauntlet, which was fun as hell, and prepared for basically most situations you run into.

[@LadyCeag840]

What about the Uncharted games? My favorite tutorial was the Among Thieves tutorial!

Fallout 3 was a masterpiece... it had that "magic". I don't feel fallout 4 has/had that "magic". :|

[@theveganape]

That's interesting, it seems most people prefer 4. I have stopped playing 4 recently after installing loads of mods. They sort of make the game seem less genuine. I might uninstall them and continue.

[@lewiskeeffe8649]

fallout 4 is what GTA 4 was to San Andreas the latter exceeded expectations the prior a glossy trial for a future next gen project.

[@wolfydawolf1296]

TehObLiVioUs that magic... is it like... you have no idea what will happen, or how it will happen, you have no idea what's out there, or what you can do, and there's a strong sense of mystery and adventure if that's what it's like, i used to have that magic with Skyrim, haha, but unfortunately it's worn away with time

[@TheHutchy01]

TehObLiVioUs 4 was visually stunning and had some good bits but it didn't feel right all the way through

[@thatrandomcrit5823]

[@DutchGabbers]

With that putting the butler in the freezer brought up so many good memories. Always trying to hide from that butler and see him slowly walk towards you.. Or shooting him

[@TheCookinator1]

I quite liked the tutorial from Kingdom Hearts 2 but I feel like I might be in the minority on that one

[@gamerazor247]

Pfft, I agree with ya. Roxas is personally my favorite character. Than again, the 3DDD tutorial pit you right in a boss...

[@re_pete]

Yea that tutorial was great and the tutorial in the first one is just cruel

[@thekillers1stfan]

Sam Cook Definitely the best. The atmosphere of the town was perfect at lulling you into comfort, the Organization being introduced was great, the tournament was really fun, that characters they introduced were all very likeable, and the fact that they tore it all down and exposed it as a fraud before they throw you into the real game was genius.

[@toongrowner1]

Sam Cook For me it was kinda annoying, even the first time I played, for a moment I was even worried that no disney character will show up, and it will only be the roxas guy.... it has some nice atmosphere and stuff, and I really like the towns kids, but the tutorial is way to long, and now with the senseless extra battle with Roxas in the final mix version.... I kinda started to freakin hate roxas... -_-

[@ezgaming8716]

Sam Cook Kh2 was not in the list as it is a playstation exclusive, this channel is called outside xbox afterall

[@VueiyVisarelli]

4. You could also lock the butler in the secret passageway. Locking him away was one of the first things I did, since more than once he nearly scared the crap out of me, sneaking up while I was exploring. Shooting him later was rather satisfying, lol.

[@tokadune244]

Hahahaha, pressed the like button, then pressed it again! Loophole!

[@ethanmysliwiec8937]

[@grantreed9790]

What about Arkham City? That had an awesome opening...

[@darkartsdabbler2407]

+Grant Reed Didn't it? I was actually kind of disappointed when the rest of the game never really recaptured the feeling of the tutorial.

[@grantreed9790]

+Dick Grayson But the rest of the game was still epic though. Probably my favorite Arkham game.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

@@grantreed9790 It was actually the last great Arkham game (unless you count Origins as well due to havinf a good origin story for the series and, of course, the boss battles).

I'm very fond of the Spiderman game tutorial with the wise cracking narrator.

What's E.B.A./Quendan?

[@Nintendude.]

​@@michaelandreipalon359 Osu Tatakae Ouendan & Elite Beat Agents is a Nintendo Rhythm game series made by iNis for the DS, both games share the same universe. The Ouendan is a Japanese cheer squad that moves to the rhythm to boost moral for those in need. While The E.B.A. is a special secret governmental agency, their mission? Make the world a better place, one dance step at a time. The games has inspired the PC game Osu!

@@Nintendude. I see crudsaccharine weirdness in these games. Also, thanks for the help.

Lol, that was actually my favourite way to die in Dead Space 2. I love when those tentacle head things rip off your head and take your body, so badass.

I'm stuck. I pressed the like button but all that happens is a pop up of naked ladies.....then I get side tracked and have to wash my hand 10 mins later

I'd say another good one is the first No One Lives Forever. You can't go wrong with a tongue in cheek section where you're told how to skip cutscenes and severalo instances where you get to try out any newly introduced gadgets.

How do you brutaly kiss your wife?

[@shrike6243]

The original Thief's tutorial wasn't half bad, and the voice acting was surprisingly competent, especially given the time the game was made.

[@Maousensei]

I dont know why but Lara's butler creeps me out

[@Dargonhuman]

Probably because he's an old, mumbling, gassy creeper who doesn't do any actual butlering and just follows Lara around everywhere, even into her bedroom.

[@fallis07]

Omg I never saw that death sequence when the skull head with legs thingy goes in place of your own head and mounts the body, that's wicked lol

[@dicksonmattxenoblade6491]

The original Megaman X had a pretty good tutorial level.

[@Cadian575]

So glad Blood Money was on here. That tutorial was one of my fave levels in the game, just because of how clean you could do it.

[@ViolentSh4de]

Strangely enough I think it's the level that makes me not replay that game as it was no where as fun as the rest of the levels and seems more like a chore

[@athroughzdude]

I remember in Fall of Cybertron the prologue was also the tutorial where you played as Bumblebee on the Arx as it was assaulted by the Decepticons in their war ship the Nemesis and you would learn what the controls were as you needed to perform the actions. Like looking at a floating drone so Ratchet can make sure you're okay, shooting Decepticons, jumping or gaps and driving to Optimus to save him from Megatron. It's all also en media res so you know shits going down hard later.

[@Landiusk]

I skipped the tutorial for pressing the like button because it wasn't creative and innovative. You need to come up with better tutorials or you are gonna start losing your customers.

[@mehpersonguy0]

The tutorial in the old Spider-Man game (not N64/PSX, but Gamecube, Xbox and PS2) although not required, was still memorably funny and enjoyable, with Bruce Campbell as the sarcastic yet funny narrator

[@glasstuna]

the first time I played the fallout 3 tutorial it was great. by the 10th it was long an boring. same with skyrim.

[@triciahenry4674]

I remember watching my dad play the tutorial of Far Cry 3 parody, my dad saw that I was laughing and asked me why I was laughing and I said, "I got done watching outsidexbox talking about this tutorial in their '7 Genius Tutorial Levels We Didn't Want To Skip Immediately'!" He just laughed

+Nintendude I personally preferred Super Metroid's

[@Nintendude.]

+Robert Dockham Super Metroid has a tutorial!? Where!? Lol.

[@Volair]

I imagine since everyone has talked about those, they wanted to stray away from them, and recognize some other games. Otherwise people would be saying "Ugh, you're just copying Sequelitis."

[@MrEasyNah]

+Nintendude From the start all the way up to the Chozo boss can be considered the tutorial.

[@Brennen666CA]

I've probably like a total of 10ish things on youtube in like 6 years. This was one. Very clever. I actually felt compelled to press like xD
