The unskippable toturial. Every game that has one.
Love the typo. It seems a merge between "tutorial" and "torture", which in many cases is.
I understand why they do it, though. Because every time there is something skippable, people will skip it and then go and complain about being confused or saying the game didn't explain something well enough. A good thing that should be more common is things shouldn't be skippable the first time you play a game and then skippable after that.
Many wish for less handholding in games, then completely miss major features or story beats because they skipped whatever they needed to get that info and go and pester the devs or others about it.
The secret: at the end of the game leave a key combo (like a cheat code) that skips the tutorial. Anyone familiar with the game could just find it online any time they want to replay it, but new players wouldn't know it exists.
Do you count the prologue level in Mega Man X as a tutorial? Because whenever I go back to beat that game, I have no problem playing that level again. It takes like 3 minutes and it gets your jumping and shooting fingers all warmed up.
