Look. The game has a huge initial learning curve that CCP needs to be addressed ASAP, we all should know that. When I started playing when the beta became open, I was confused to high heaven and I read ALL the tutorials and instructions and was still confused.
It's badly designed and doesn't cover enough, right now.
The best type of tutorial is one that walks you through it step by step AS YOU PLAY.
Lets compare methods.
Would you rather have someone tell you how to drive a car, then give you the keys so you can go drive off yourself, or would you rather they join you step by step as you are interacting with the car, so that you understand what you are being told as you are experiencing it?
I've been there and the latter is always the best option, unless the teacher is a nutbag.
I personally prefer the complexity in the beginning compared to the simpler games. It filters out all the immature impatient kids that would ruin a game like this relying on cooperation. And age has nothing to do with, we have a 10 year old in our corp that is really good at playing, flying dropships and manageing squad leader actions. This game is by no means over complicated, if you do not get it after a few matches it is not a game for you as simple as that.
I also remember the good old days where it was mandatory to read the paper manual included in the game box to play the game. Why is it that everyone now demands the developers to spend lots of time, energy and money making it simple because they are too lazy to spend just a few minutes reading a few short tutorial messages. Just take a look at the skill tree which they have spend resources on instead of actual content.
And the car comparison was bad, I would assume you already know what a car is, what it is used for, the difference between a bus, car, motocycle, sportscar, monstertruck and trailers and what each are used for before starting the lessons to drive a car. Not to mention that the car would need gasoline should not be a surprise to you. |
