Still, I would question if anyone really 'loves' tutorial material. Reading text and following instructions is not much fun. It is a barrier that a newcomer must cross in order to experience the true fun of the game. Why should they have to do that when they could go play New Super Mario Bros and experience the fun right away? Those pop up tips are still obstructive. As I said, the game is already visually confusing enough, and the constant pop-ups do not help. They are not optional. I would not be complaining if there was some option that allowed me to turn them off (perhaps there is and I'm missing it). As for the characters, how am I to know which character is a tutorial? What if the character was important or gave me some power-up or 1ups? I can't just avoid talking to characters. Perhaps they could have had some kind of visual cue to let me know if a character would be tutoring me or not. All of this stuff slows down the game in the beginning. It makes it hard to get into. The fact is, this game is being overrated and people shouldn't go in expecting it to be the best game ever. This "glazing over" of people's eyes is happening now because of the massive hype and excitement that surrounds the game in it's first week of release. Let's come back in 5-6 months and see if there is still such passion for the game. |
Does it stand to reason tat there are gamers for whom your complaints do not matter?
