10 Video Game Mechanics All Players HATE
3. Lengthy Tutorials
It should go without saying that some games are harder to master than others, and therefore it's only fitting that some games give us more time to adjust to their controls and mechanics than others, too.
That said, sometimes they go way too far.
The most frustrating part of this one is that many of the main perpetrators are truly brilliant games. Kingdom Hearts (take your pick, literally any one of them boasts a ridiculously long tutorial), Assassin's Creed 3, Bloodborne and Final Fantasy XIII are all fun to play, but it takes so very, very long to get past all of the tool tips and tutorial messages that it honestly becomes a little much.
It's nice to learn how to play the game, and it's sweet that the developers were so keen to help us, but who still wants their hand held after three or four hours?
Sometimes, the best way to learn is by being thrown into the action, and excessive tutorials rarely allow us to do that.
