I know of that game. It was originally a browser game only to become indie. Although I've had better experience with the PC version using a mouse and keyboard, because the twin stick controls on a game controller suck at times for a game that requires that much precision!

This video reminded me of the very reason why I started playing TF2 - The spy A lure for a lot of people tired of conventional shooters, the idea of playing as someone who can become invisible and appear to be the enemies teammate seemed like a wonderful idea. Only one problem - the class I that attracted me to TF2 is also the most difficult class to play effectively in an already quite a complicated game.

I was thinking early on here that Eve Online might be on this list, then thinking about it I remembered that the game has hours of tutorials, it's just got so much depth that even that can leave you feeling unprepared. Still awesome though.

I'm guessing like...five other people might recognize the title but Lux-Pain for the DS (or was it 3DS idr) not only had no tutorial, but no instructions for the main mechanic of the game in the instruction booklet games used to have.

Or Terraria

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

The console versions use a much easier crafting system, since it's automatically done for you if you have the right materials. But even then there is still so much to learn in that game on your first play through. But my suggestion for newcomers (if there is any these days) is either start in peaceful mode or stay close to a village when night comes, depending on which version you're playing.

I'd like to nominate The Witness as an honorary #6 spot. Yes, it starts off simple enough and you get the idea of what to do from the early puzzles, but then new rules get added with no explanation and it can be a challenge to learn what the new symbols signify.

[@prince_nocturne]

Man, Shadow of the Colossus was SO GOOD! I haven't had the chance to get my hands on the remake yet, but I played through the original way back when, and loved it the whole way. I knew something was off early on, with making a deal with a shadow demon, but I didn't think much afterwards... until I got to the first flying Colossus. It was just peacefully minding its own business, floating around rather majestically, ignorant to me climbing all over it most of the time... until I send it crashing into the ground... wounded and dying having done really nothing to actively attack me like the others before then. And it felt horrible. I had to take a break after that. That first flying Colossus really hit home what I was doing and how it was... bad.

Very nice sponsorship placement, Rabbid! Felt much more with the flow (and the comments about losing your phone felt a little more like you were having fun with the whole mess and segued much nicer into the video) I've seen far too many videos where the Sponsorship segments come out of nowhere and feel very jarring and throw the viewer out of the whole thing, so it's nice to see your placement didn't interrupt the body of your video.

There are few Puyo Puyo games that properly explain everything you need to know about making chains, which is to say giving damage to another player, which is how you win. There are a lot of games in the series, too, and the only games that really have good tutorials, at least out of the ones i know of, are Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary and Puyo Puyo Champions. The latter is such a weird game to the point that is has no singleplayer campaign (one of the only games to lack one, btw) and the tutorial is the closest thing to one. It explains things extremely well, but is a 3-hour tutorial. 20th Anniversary also teaches things well and has an Endless Practice mode to practice chains. This gets frustrating with Puyo Puyo Tetris, tho, which has a tutorial, but again, this is one of the many Puyo games that doesn't explain everything you need to know, and if this is your first Puyo game (or Tetris game, for that matter), good luck.

[@LFiles48]

Well, there was some warframe footage in there. Because man, the wiki is necessary to get anywhere in that game.

[@SaccadicSableye]

That Xenoblade X OST in the intro and title cards made me giddy. I love that game, but I won't lie... I've no clue what I'm doing half the time. And PokéMonth is next? Please go easy on the Sword & Shield spoilers in your titles & thumbnails, Rabbid. Preferably even during the opening minutes of the videos. Many of us are still making our way through Galar, and others may not get to start playing until Christmas. I'll definitely catch up on your videos once I've finished. Can't wait to hear your take on Poké-UK!

[@d3-ll754]

In defense of Xenoblade Chronicles X (the honorable mention based on the transition music): the game's manual that was put into the game explains a lot of the actually important stuff rather than the bare minimum like the in-game tutorials. Granted, I can't really blame anyone for not really thinking to look at it because "who the hell reads manuals anymore?" but I think that's the reason the manual is actually a part of the game's Pause Menu.

TF2 is definitely a mess for newbies. There is a way to act as a "Coach" by clicking a button and getting into a queue where it matches you to someone looking for help, but even that was broken by Casual servers (you cannot join one directly, you must be placed there as a Casual player) making it so you can't actually help anyone with it. And if you somehow get into a session with a student, all you can do is put arrows over things you want them to shoot, look at, or defend. I gave up on Coaching long ago, now I just hunt down the newbies in the wild and teach them directly.

"It Still Looks Like Manifested Chaos...Kajima Is That You!?" Me: Dead! 😂💀

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

That "reduced" price for the Raycon headphones seems like your typical Black Friday scam to me that a lot of stores do at that time of year = making the normal prices shoot up shortly before Black Friday so that even with reduced prices they can make more money on each single item than they usually would. Because when I last went and looked at wireless earphones in September even the ones with the highest prices were still below 70 without any price reductions.

What is the music used in the transitions? I feel like I've heard it somewhere (I know he's linked the channels that uploaded the music in the description but it's taking me a while to find it) Edit: I knew it was from xenoblade X (the manon theme) I kept skipping it because I thought the manon theme was the song that played in the cutscene where they're introduced (which is actually tatsus theme and another song I don't remember)

[@TheFoxclouds]

People seem to forget that the original Zelda came with an instruction manual. It was a 46 page book that provided backstory, hints, what weapons do, what enemies do, and how to get to the first and second dungeon. They didn't have space to put it in the game, so the gave you a book.

Pokémon has a lot of obtuse hidden mechanics that you'll never know about without looking them up online, like IVs and EVS. But what's even worse is the basic, nigh mandatory information the games refuses to divulge, like base stats, movepools and evolution methods. It's kind of insane that a 20-year old franchise still hasn't bothered to tell its players the most basic aspects of their monsters.

[@goalie5733]

Am really enjoying the journey though.

[@derekallard4599]

From my remedial knowledge, I think the Wizardry series of games has a history of explaining nothing. Apparently, they're rather complicated RPG dungeon crawlers with alignments, resource management, separate gold for characters you can pool together, and very easy to get lost in. I've only scratched the surface of Labyrinth of Lost Souls on the PS3, and I don't remember if there even was a tutorial. I think there's some text but compared to other RPG's, the game is more than willing to spawn mobs of enemies five levels higher than you on the first floor of the first dungeon, and even has an enemy 12 levels higher than you behind a door of no return with nothing but a vague warning on the floor that "some doors aren't meant to be opened."

[@simbathedog55]

*sees the Man-On theme for the transitions* Mom!!!! Rabbidluigi is making fun of Xenoblade X even though he said he liked it again! But in all seriousness, the older Monster Hunter games do this really well. You're given basic tutorials on how to use the weapons and craft items, but learning combos, monster attack patterns and even what items and equipment are good are all things you have to learn on your own.

[@10tailedfox80]

I'm surprised none of the fromsoft games are in here, for example, almost everyone dies to asylum demon the first time because they miss the gate that you have to go through. it never tells you where to go and the story is difficult to uncover.

X-Men 2: Clone Wars starts (and by starts I mean as soon as you power up your console) with you, with a random character, in front of a tank. If you just sit there it'll shoot you and run you over for a decent amount of health. If you sit there MORE it just takes you to the start screen. When you press start on the start screen it restarts you on the first stage with a random character! Anyway that's after the devs softened up. The prequel required you to restart the game a few stages in. These people weren't making licensed games they were making fucking performance art.
