Forums - Gaming Discussion - Games that have the balls of not giving you any startup tutorial

They just throw you into the action and leave things for you to figure them out. #Don'tBeAPussy



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

The Souls games are the only one I can think of right now.



Pokemon Go.



That hashtag is super silly.

Since Dark Souls will be said 40 times, I'll say Zelda 2: Adventure of Link.



"You should be banned. Youre clearly flaming the president and even his brother who you know nothing about. Dont be such a partisan hack"

Pokemon Go. It tells you pretty much NOTHING. You just dl it and then you're on your own.

A lot of FPS games just assume you can play FPS games, which is awesome. Long tutorials can be really annoying.

I remember that Platinum game, the one with the armor, I quit playing and never went back because of the tutorial.



ICO and its abstracted minimalistic approach left the player to guess everything out. 

 

I don't remember any tutorial in FF IV, VI and VII, other than Wedge telling you not to shoot the monster under a specific condition. :P As much as I love FF VIII, Quistis gets really annoying on the first hours, explaining you everything.

 

Dragon's Dogma doesn't give you any tutorial at all, aside from giving you a few button prompts explanation and telling you what a Pawn Stone is. Harpy on the prologue induced you on sleep and goblins are obliterating you? Though luck, pal.

 

Almost every rogue-like out there. Shoutout to Faster  Than Light.



The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Doom and other old school games don't show up tutorials.

Even Souls games don't show up.



They have the balls or are lazy enough (and get away with it) though?

I don't understand why "not holding your hand" gets so much praise when sooner or later the same people will look up guides or even make threads on the internet about how to play the games. If this is the way of "finding it out" they mean, I wonder how many do it "by themselves" as they claim these games allow.

I personally loved Bloodborne and DS3 but the fact that they don't explain shit I see as a weakness, not as a strength. 99% of the people will get the tutorials from the internet, which is worse than in-game, imo.
