Top Five Worst Tutorials in Video Games - rabbidluigi

[@iamabucket13]

Super Paper Mario

[@stonedmillennialkid2247]

Olivier Dubreuil-Gagnon yeah you could kinda change the phrasing to "games with great plots yet boring gameplay" where the plot saves the experience. Those are the type of games youd never want to replay after the first time. But you know rabbid would put Spec Ops: The Line at #1

[@YuuoChaos]

That made me quite happy as well.

[@a1joryj]

How many people actually hated that tutorial though? I actually really liked it--it introduced everyone to all the characters and the tasks didn't take too long (even on my first try) and when the village gets raided and your friends get taken, you actually grow attached to the characters and you fear for their safety. I thought it was alright at the very least

[@YuuoChaos]

+Jory Johnson I didn't hate the story part of the tutorial, it really was more of a story prologue than anything. The part I hated the most was the 'here's how you use your sword' thing with the kids basically teaching you how to use your sword. It felt condescending af.

[@ios4888]

Everyone who played Driver KNEW that had to be number one on this list.

[@JaelinBezel]

Whenever I played Driver as a kid, THIS is all I played, so as far as I was concerned, this was the whole game.

[@kingarthurj]

Me and my cousins were kids when we played it and they had no clue what the stuff they were being asked to do even meant. The ONLY reason I knew what a slalom was, was because I remembered seeing it in passing on like Olympic skiing.

[@thomastheofanides1526]

Amen, brother.

[@CyberHangman]

More than one person I know had the game's save file backed up to another save card just after the tutorial mission was completed. That way they could start a new game without the tutorial

[@chickenheelnakano]

Good Question: Why get rid of manuals?

[@LuccianoBartolini]

Money.

[@SmartAlec1]

Lucciano Bartolini so doubling resources on a tutorial is cheaper than a bunch of pieces of paper?

[@MrRicadams1]

Making a manual requires effort.

[@LuccianoBartolini]

A Manual requires ink, papers and someone to write it, then make as many copies as physical games. Considering that companies now make millions upon million of copies, yeah, I see manuals with multiple pages costing more than something that could be added to the game. Granted, making the tutorial good is another problem in itself.

[@windhelmguard5295]

i remember a time when developers put as much of their gamee as they possibly could into the manual to save disc space.

[@01ChaosWarrior]

In regards to KH2, I would argue that the tutorial only goes to Twilight Thorn. After that the game is relatively done with introducing stuff until you play as Sora. (when the prologue ends.) some people might think differently, but that's how I've always thought of that opening.

[@Mars_over_seer]

I’m mixed on Twilight Town. One hand, Roxas is a great character and u really feel bad for him at the end of the prologue when he’s forced to fuse with Sora to stop the Organization. The other hand, the dialogue is a bit stilted (Not as much as Recoded) and it could be condensed so it won’t feel like it’s overstaying it’s welcome.

[@theenderengineer1943]

Here is a way to describe tutorials that don't give you much help. "Let's take the people who can't swim, and drop them in the deep end. They'll learn."

Jack. And it only takes about 1 minute & goes by pretty fast.

[@MyNameJefff]

I really believe Twilight Town is one of the BEST tutorials in any game ever. Not only does it teach you how to play the game but it also introduces you to a Major Character and a key plot point. Sure, it’s long as fuck BUT it is incredibly important.

[@anarki4717]

While i have no real problem with Tutorials i DO have a problem with UNSKIPPABLE Tutorials.... Pokemon springs to mind as it's guilty of this shit, I know how to catch a Pokemon i've been playing since Red+Blue, why isn't there an "I've played a Pokemon game before/I am a grown man i don't need this shit" option? Do you know what i hate more? Cutscenes that also can't be skipped but CAN be paused!? by all means warn me that i'm going to miss a vital plot element if i skip this Cutscene but give me the option to skip it

[@Gamesfan34260]

I agree, if you can't skip something then it should be short as FUCK thanks! When I finally start learning how to finish games I make, I'll be sure to have short tutorials instead of...THAT MESS.

[@SakuraAvalon]

Unskippable cutscenes are great! Especially if the checkpoint is just before them, so every time you die, you get to watch it over and over. UGH

I’m glad you acknowledged Twilight Princess without putting it on the list. It’s long but not bad, in my opinion

[@DoctorFalchion]

I might have mentioned Skyward Sword in there somewhere too; generally the same criticisms apply. (Both games openings have high and low points; Skyward Sword has some really bad pacing with the Fi stuff and fetching, but the cute moments with Zelda and the loftwing race help make up for it)

[@ritenac6770]

KC Clark Agreed. It’s too bad that the start and the sky whale part are the only parts where the loftwings were important

[@agnesleuenberger3713]

(It took me YEARS to realize that the beginning of TP was actually a whole tutorial. XD It might be long but it didn't bore me at all!^^ Just came to say this, don't mind!)

[@necrobonesgaming2424]

Twilight Princess is probably one of the better examples of a "press this to do this" tutorial done right. Particularly the Wii version because the swordplay tutorial is a bit more useful in that one.

[@CrasherX2000]

The tutorial in Sun and Moon was pretty lengthy, but I find the rest of the game VERY much worth it

No joke, that tutorial level for Driver was so frustrating that me and a friend passed the controller back and forth trying to beat it for 2 hours.

[@JoeTheLumberjak]

I honestly think Pokemon needs to have a little thing at the beginning, whenever you press new game, that says "Have you played Pokemon before?" and bases the tutorial-ising on that. That wouldn't be too much work for them to change around/remove some text based on your answer. EDIT: Whoops. I typed this out before continuing, and then you said it yourself in the video. Well done, you!

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

Yeah, if they could do that, that'd be great.

[@AdamG_6]

TBH I actually liked the opening to Pokemon Sun/Ultra Sun. It really immersed me into the world of Alola.

[@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643]

Pokémon have way too many tutorials. Especially the capture ones. The GSC one is forgivable because it's skippable. And Hoenn is also forgivable because technically *you're* teaching Wally, instead of anyone teaching you. But fuck every other tutorial in Pokémon (maybe barring the RGBY one because Missingno. glitch).

[@mikebutler6225]

I have to agree with number 1. I worked at blockbuster when Driver came out. I took it home a few days before release. it took me and 2 buddies almost 3 weeks to get past the tutorial. I recently dusted my copy off about a yr ago. Happy to say I can still get past it. Haha. Driver was the most returned game that I can recall during my time at work.

[@DiscountOstrich]

I usually replay Pokemon games a lot, but just thinking about going through Sun & Moons tutorial again is killing me

[@Metroid4ever]

Same, I doubt I could ever restart the file over on Sun because I hated that tutorial. Hell, it's why I have no interest in playing Ultra Sun. I've replayed Y recently and was shocked at how quick the game's opening was, despite XY's misgivings as far as narrative is concerned. In the amount of time it took for me to get done with MeleMele Island in SM, I was already done with the first gym and heading out to Lumiose City in Y.

[@DiscountOstrich]

I activly tried to avoid any news related to Ultra Sun&Moon because Nintendo just spoils way to much. I actually thought that it would be a sequel, like Black&White 2. The only spoiler I couldn't avoid were pictures of Rainbow Rocket, so I thought they would be the main bad guys for this Sun& Moon sequel. Just made sense. But then I had to go through the same tutorial again and I almost quit the game

[@Metroid4ever]

I don't even know if I want to go through USUM at all anyways. The only interest I have would be to see just how difficult the game is for a nuzlocke (as I'm always up for a good challenge), but I don't want to give GF my money for these cashgrabs. I can't let them get away with this.

[@wingedmirage4226]

Yeah I have no interest in ultra sun or moon either. Something I've come to realize and somewhat respect is the fact that a lot of people don't give a crap about Pokémon stories and just button mash through cutscenes. While I do like having plot in Pokémon games, I understand why others don't, especially when replaying. Sun and Moon has a good plot but MAN does it like to shove it in your face. Even as an rpg player that lives story, this story feels like it's constantly in the way with all the rampant slow and often pointless cutscenes.

[@thegreatmonacage3782]

Discount Ostrich Your profile picture matches your first comment. The face you could be making when you have to go Sun and Moon's tutorial again

[@QualityGamingStudios]

Twilight princess has one of my favorite game tutorials (minus the required goat segment)

[@Lil-Dragon]

Pokemons current tutorial drives me mad. Do what we did in gen 5. Takes a max of 10 minutes in those games after getting your starter to know the centre and catch a pokemon tutorials. Gen 7 takes too bloody long. I've been playing 14 years I know what to do game.

[@mectainea5575]

KernowShinigamiViper Lil'Dragon In fact I think the tutorials in gen 7 is the worst in the series(this is one of many reasons why I feel gen 7 is the worst gen in the series). It was bad in previous generations (that isn't gen 1 and 2 which basically had no forced tutorials) but at least in those generations the tutorials were reasonably short and in gen 3's case, the tutorial was integrated into the story quite well with wally's ralts showing up in battles and it being wally's starter.

[@Chaos89P]

Let's just hope that Gen. 8 isn't nearly as much of a slog, or better yet, at least partially skippable.

Heinz. At least it doesn't have an long ass cutscenes & much handholding as Sun & Moon has. Plus, the games were like an reboot. So it's no big deal.

[@Jared-cm2wv]

You know you're good at these lists when I love the video even after you put one of my favorite prologues on there! (While the odd jobs are dumb, the Roxas prologue really is one of my favorite parts of KH2. Love the character, the prologue plot, the "summer vacation is over" reveal, the keyblade combat, the introduction of the nobodies, etc.)

[@Necrikus]

I don't know, I don't think the Sun and Moon tutorial was that bad. Yeah, it was a bit slow, but at least it did a lot to familiarize the player with the other characters that are important. The other games never even bothered giving that much personality to secondary characters, let alone use them as much save for X and Y where those secondary characters got very little in the way of characterization and felt way less important despite how often you would run into them. Plus, Sun and Moon are the most narrative-focused of the main game series, so slowing down the player throughout it does prevent an overeager player to just fly past a lot of the groundwork for that narrative, at least in my opinion.

[@SodaPopBarbecue]

This. A thousand times this.

[@weisstofall2615]

I will say I love sun/moon, but making the whole Island be tutorial, to the point of still having them after the first trial, and everywhere before it, is a little bit... annoying. I love the game, but the tutorial IS long

[@amirgarcia547]

Necrikus I didn’t think it was that bad either...then again, I’m usually naturally tolerant to tutorials. If only GF added the option to skip it, especially in US/UM...

[@laggalot1012]

XCX is the only game where I've ever actively recommended to others that they read the manual. That game is so poorly paced in the way it attempts to inform the player... It goes from telling you rather little, to suddenly dumping like 5 different mechanics and systems on you in a way that's virtually impossible to understand on the first go-around, and then they go back to "figure it out yourself" again. I like X, but hot damn, it does not know how to explain itself. ...And I though Monster Hunter was bad at explaining itself...

It's been about 3 months since Ultra Sun has been released and I've yet to even leave the first city. This is due to a combination of unnecessary compulsive grinding in Festival Plaza and the fact that I'm already bored to tears with it.

[@MaskedKittyYT]

Shadow's Wrath dude, i knew the feeling, i tried for literally a couple months to try and leave the first half of the first island and each time i started to fall off of it because it was sooo grind focused, not to mention some Pokemon only evolve on certain islands and i didn’t know that when i started up my team, so i had a good level 20 team only to find out that almost all of my team except for two or maybe even three Pokemon evolve on a different island, i hated that and then i tried to find good teams that actually evolved without a certain island and it made me so bored going through all of that so i fell of the pokemon horse and i decided to just quit it. i’m slowly coming back to pokemon but i decided the game i come back to would be pokemon Y instead of coming back to sun/ultra sun, they really didn’t need the first island to be a tutorial, it pushed its luck a ton compared to the way older games started time wise.

[@ShadowsWrath4]

You should prolly start with a better game instead of Y. (No offense to X&Y fans) I suggest Alpha Sapphire, mainly because Archie is such a goddamn bro of a villain that you can't help but like him. He even knows he's playing the stereotype and deliberately hams it up so you can enjoy yourself as the hero. Now if only his team were a tad more difficult to defeat....

[@MaskedKittyYT]

Shadow's Wrath i can agree there, i love when the villain is hammy, but i personally started with pokemon diamond and pearl so no other team has really hammed it up like in that old pokémon gem to me, but to tell the truth i’ve been more into kirby as a 3ds series recently i went back to kirby planet robobot and i’ve been really enjoying myself, i’m thinking of getting other kirby games for the 3ds.

I think that Fallout New Vegas has a great tutorial.

[@madratthemighty]

I really don’t understand why people hate on the opening of KH2 so much. It does an amazing job of setting the stage for the entire game afterwards, and the non-combat busywork section is almost entirely optional. You can do a lot of jobs for extra AP but you can also do like 2-3 mail deliveries, then go talk to Hayner and be done with it in less than a minute. The only other major tutorial sections are the market scene which shows the basic controls quickly (it takes 3 minutes tops if you read all the dialogue boxes), the opening fight with Seifer (which takes ~15 seconds to show you the HUD and show the combat controls) and the Dive to the Heart section, which is shorter than in KH1 and contains a ton more combat. The seven wonders section can take a little while if you get lost but they give you a map, and 2/4 challenges are combat based, all 4 can be done easily within 1.5 minutes. The character development and exposition takes a long time, but it is all very well done and builds anticipation and excitement for Sora’s restoration and the Organization as the villains. So why do people hate it so much? I don’t understand.

[@DrZalmat]

Actually school is not intended to teach You how to live in the real world. Your parents are supposed to teach that to You but most don't. School is intended to teach You the basics of understanding the world and give You a chance of learning what You are good at and giving You a solid base knowledge to know how to tackle things. For some reason parents rarely take the time to teach their kids things they are supposed, like doing the taxes, how to be a decent person and so on.

[@wingedmirage4226]

On the flip side of this case, the last game I've played to do tutorial's right is Need for Speed: Payback. It mostly just tells you the controls and what they do... and that's about it. Everything else that goes on in the opening sequences isn't expanded upon - unless necessary, like the drifting - but you quickly understand what they are and their purposes. Told little; learn lots. Anyone else miss those days?

[@TerravancerYoh]

Oh god, Driver. I remember playing that on my really old PC. Never did get past the tutorial to actually play it, now that I think about it. I did enjoy watching the pre-built in replays though.

The worst thing i remember about Driver was before it came out the Official Playstation Magazine had a demo disc with a chase portion of the game. You had to get away from the police using back alleys and weaving through traffic and it made the game look amazing. And then when you finally got your hands on the game and were met with the tutorial instead of the amazing chase sequence that you'd played for months before the games release, was so frustrating to the point of turning the game off, not playing it again and going back to the demo disc.

[@amirgarcia547]

While I didn’t necessarily mind the tutorials in Pokémon S/M, or really mind tutorials in general because I know that things will always pick up later on...there should be a way to skip it for longtime fans in the series. The best example is Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, which allowed you to skip the tutorials entirely and be able to refer back to it later on. Which was amazing for longtime fans of the series such as myself. US/UM did lessen the tutorial, at least...but not enough for it to be noticeable nor significant.

Thank you for including Pokemon Sun & Moon on this list. I found myself trying to get through the tutorial again in Ultra as fast as I could. I timed it: It takes 43 minutes just to be allowed to walk to the Pokemon center RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOUR HOUSE, and then you have the Pokemon School after that. 43 minutes of unskippable battles, slow activating dialogue, and saving Nebby from a bunch of Spearow.

The only Pokemon game I know that has less tutorials is Black 2 & White 2. Most of them are optional & u can skip them. The only ones that are mandatory is Bianca showing you capturing Pokemons ( like no other Pokemon games does that ) & the tour of the Poke Studio. Although to be fair, they're not really bad since u can get done with them pretty fast & Poke Studio was an new thing introduced in Pokemon & it's quite fun.

I felt like the problem with Sun and Moon wasn't that the “tutorial section„ was especially boring as it was implemented into the story itself, however I thought that that was also the biggest problem of it; as it was so looong it gnawed away at normal gameplay and took a whole QUARTER of the story away. I dashed through otherwise important story elements on the first island since it felt like they were just trying to teach me something I already knew. The tutorials in other games were so much simpler (but effective): this is a Pokemon, this is how you catch it, this is how to make it use moves, now go fight baddies & gym leaders

Andre Emerson once said of videogame tutorials that making one is about 3 times as time consuming as a regular mission because you have so many extra things to put in. Not only are there help tooltips to show the players what to do, but there's all these less obvious things like needing to build special enemies for you to fight because you don't have the gear you need to fight real enemies yet. Oh and the fact you have to code it to NOT let the player do things they would normally be free to do.

As soon as I saw the title of this, I immediately said "Driver". Then I thought, "That game is never talked about, despite how good it is and yet how abhorrent the 'tutorial' is. Doubtful it'll be on here." I am so glad I am wrong this time. Driver is, and always will be, my most hated tutorial. Took me WAY too long just to pass that, and that is with my brother helping me, looking in the book it came with, scouring what little internet content there was back in that day, and even attempting to use the cheats to my advantage (which didn't work). A major love/hate relationship with this game.

In regards to Pokemon and how it should give the player the option to view the tutorials or not, I think an interesting way to go about it would be to allow the player to choose the avatar's age as well as their gender. I'm not talking going full on character character creation like other RPGs, but rather a couple of simple options. For example, if they choose their avatar to be a preteen as usual (so around 11 or so), then the game instigates the tutorials as that age in-universe is typically when Trainers start their journeys. On the other hand, if they choose the avatar to be a teenager (I'm thinking between 15-17 perhaps), then the tutorials are skipped as the avatar is older than your average rookie Trainer and can be assumed to have done all this before. Just thought that's be an interesting way to go about it.

[@agnesleuenberger3713]

I love the idea! And even if they don't make that tutorial skipping feature, I'd appreciate to be able to play an older guy instead of a child...

i personally think the fire emblem: blazing sword's tutorial was pretty bad, lyn's story was just a massive tutorial that dragged on, and its a bit insulting too since the tutorial wasn't in the original japan release, Nintendo shoved it in the international release since they thought we wouldn't be able to handle the game

[@scissorman44]

Considering the series was doing like crap outside Japan, and never performed really that well since until Awakening(including the fuck up of actually making things TOO hard in Radiant Dawn out of a translation error) I think it's comprehensible somewhat.

[@Tetsaiken]

There were way too many things that were horribly wrong about Blazing Sword's tutorial. Some things weren't explained at all or weren't properly explained, and some tutorial parts shouldn't even be there to begin with. I'll just bold the parts you can read if you just want to TL;DR because it's kind of impossible for me to cut it down to 50 words. - *The support system was never explained.* There was absolutely no excuse for this. Supports are such a vital and integral part of the gameplay that it baffles me how they messed this one up. You couldn't even form *any* supports on Lyn's story, no matter the difficulty. It couldn't help to let us support characters in Lyn's story, and then carry it over to Hector or Eliwood's story? - *Players also needed to know about experience gain on unpromoted allies as opposed to promoted allies.* While yes, promoted characters you get at the very beginning are very useful, they don't do a very good job at telling you about the EXP gain disparity. And while it may be a pitfall to always feed kills to unpromoted characters over promoted (use promotes when you need them to do something), at least let the player know that other characters won't get as much EXP if you let Marcus dominate the battlefield, for example. And as for the logical aspects, *the tutorial did a very poor job at demonstrating combat.* For crying out loud, at the very beginning of the game, you are forced to attack a boss (as in, you attack first), with a glass cannon character, with your character 5HKOing the boss while the boss 2HKOs you. While the game has been demonstrating the weapon triangle, and how the axes have low accuracy rates with the weapon triangle in your favor, what the game does not tell you is that you're giving the boss a chance to kill you before you get your 5 hits in. *But of course, the game blankets this by scripting the fight* so that on the second encounter, the boss always misses, and you always crit on one of your hits. This was a poor job of demonstrating how to handle a boss, and I almost guarantee you, the next time this happens under any normal circumstance, you have a chance to actually die. They never actually taught the importance of knowing when to attack and when not to attack either, so this was just terrible tutorial design in of itself. Another problem I had with the tutorial was *the amount of hand-holding.* I get that Lyn's Story was a bunch of 10 tutorial chapters, but did it really have to extend into Eliwood's Story? For crying out loud, in Chapter 16, well into the middle of the game, they felt the importance to tell you about the Magic Weapon Triangle, which might I add they already explained in Lyn's Story. But perhaps the worst part about all these tutorials was that *it was heavily intrusive in the gameplay.* They all interrupt the pace and flow in the game. Some of the tutorials aren't even necessary and shouldn't even be there to begin with. (such as the aforementioned Magic Triangle) And yet, there were other vital details I felt really should have been explained. Blazing Sword. Amazing game. Terrible at teaching others how to play it. Even Sacred Stones got the tutorials part right, and that game is widely panned among most fire emblem players.

[@amirgarcia547]

Raltkiz It’s not that they thought people wouldn’t be able to handle it, but the fact that it was the very first Fire Emblem game to be localized. So they of course knew that people wouldn’t be familiar with the series and its mechanics. Even so, they handled it VERY poorly.

[@Moon525]

I agree with the idea for the Pokémon games. Simple question: "Have you played Pokémon before?" (y=no tutorial; no=tutorial) or even just an NPC asking "Oh would you like to know how to catch Pokémon?" or "Would you like to know about Pokémon type advantages?" and just have the player choose yes or no and have them be like "Oh ok cool you know this!" or "Ok I'll teach you!"

I remember playing Driver when I was a kid. Probably wasn't even ten so that beginning mission in the car park was absolute hell. My mom had to teach me what the different driving things were like how to do a slalom, 180, and reverse 180. I emulated the game a couple years ago and it proved somewhat difficult to redo again. I like it from a story perspective but they could have done with a separate tutorial you could do to learn such things. I do like how Driver: San Fransisco has a hidden mission where you can redo this mission in it. Also like to think that this game being so demanding about skill with driving that it helped me become really good at driving in videogames. I always prefer to be the wheelman when I can be in games like GTAV and whatnot.

Coming off of thegamingbrits video on how Kingdom hearts 2’s Tutorial is actually great I have to disagree with you there

[@KittenKatja]

I think Miner's Haven is one of the games that take a lot of hours to complete in the tutorial section. The first life feels like the tutorial section to me, you learn a lot about different conveyors and upgraders and what you have to replace to increase your wallet. The first life ends at 25Qn but I powered through to 30sx to have a setup where I don't need to change much anymore, the reward for rebirthing is the actual gameplay. I think the first life is in a combined total of 200 hours of playtime. And once you learn there's a wiki for this, you learn that the tutorial doesn't tell you the relations between upgraders.
