Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they’re always changing things to appeal to people who don’t play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

An so fucking railroaded. Like there must be a level between no tutorial at all and you can only press this specific button exactly when we say so and do it on repeat for 3 hours.

All games need a “this isn’t my first rodeo” option.

Civilization does something like this, and one better. Like a returning player who isn’t new to the series but new to the specific game. I don’t recall how well it worked at showing you relevant things, but if it only showed you things you didn’t already know, that’d be what we’re looking for! Hard to pull off sometimes. Other times it’s just a ridiculous under estimatation of skill with long, skip mashing tutorials!

Reminds me of the Vampire Survivors guy saying he really liked One Step From Eden’s main menu and wanted to do the same.

Open game. Press X three times. You’re playing. Perfection.

I didn’t play the demo and I went into the game blind today. I’m feeling this so much I want to abandon the game. I hope it’ll be fun but the start has been excruciating so far. 10 seconds of tutorial/dialog every 5 seconds of gameplay. WTF?! It’s intense, I’m pushing through, but I’m not having fun yet…

The tutorial is a reason to not do another playthrough of Breath of the wild or tears of the kingdom.
