I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes.

For 2 of these games (Armored Core 6 and Gran Turismo 7), the major draw for me was the MP and I haven’t even gotten to check out MP yet because it’s locked out until you get passed a certain point in the progression system. Fuckin’ why do any developers do this? I just wanted to play with my sister but we have to get through most of the fucking game before we are allowed to do the multiplayer modes. Such bullshit.

    Its not, and on subsequent playthroughs the tutorial is skipped and online is available. You get multiplayer at the end of chapter 2, there are 5 chapters in the game.

        No. Chapter 2 is short compared to the others. And it’s 3 playthroughs to beat the game. It’s not one run of 5 chapters.

        If people can’t be bothered to beat the second chapter to play multiplayer, then they’re just going to ragequit when they get stomped online anyway.

        No it’s 30 minutes of you don’t suck ass at the first boss. If you can’t beat him you are going to get rocked by everyone.
