I’ve mentioned this in the past that I think it’s good for some things to be lower affordance, especially in metroidvanias. Going through the Guide Dang It pages on TVtropes I was saying to myself, “well that’s kinda supposed to be a secret.” especially on the dark souls page.
IN METROID YOU PLAY AS A DRAGON DUNKEY HOW TO
I honestly didn’t know this until researching and couldn’t figure out the behavior, just putzing around with it until it worked.ĭo you think intentional lack of conveyance can be a good thing? Is there value in games that force you how to figure out how to play as part of the challenge? Sonic 3, the barrel you need to press up and down to use.Īntichamber, When you cut through a group of blocks the side with less blocks disappears, unless both sides have the same number of blocks. Tribes ascend, skiing can be tricky to learn and I still honestly don’t know how generators worked. Planetside 2, joining squads, capturing bases, finding fights without using instant action, all not covered in the tutorial. MGS3, a lot of more subtle functions don’t have appropriate introductions and the early stealth can be really tricky. Bayonetta even has a great tool for this in the training room on loading screens, but it’s not visible during gameplay. There’s a lot that doesn’t make sense unless you read the manual, and the overall game dynamic of the latter can be hard to intuit (that you don’t want to get forced into hyde mode, progression is unstoppable in hyde mode, you want to limit progression in hyde mode, but also not get hurt to avoid game over).īayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, combo sequences can’t be viewed during gameplay, so they’re difficult to learn. Super Metroid, Noob Bridge (a good example of both a good antepiece for teaching a core mechanic and why wordless tutorials aren’t always a great idea), meridia powerbomb tube,ĮT or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Portal 2, getting from room to room during some behind the scenes segments was tricky, they sort of lost the thread and I saw a lot of people get stuck there pixel hunting.ĭemon’s Souls, it’s possible to use up all your crescent moon grasses early in the tutorial by pressing square because you expect that to be the attack button.ĭark souls, parrying, kicking, the point of kicking, jump attacking, regular jumping, equip burden (even the menus), lower undead burg’s key, darkwraiths,ĭark Souls 2, FUCKING MYTHA THE BANEFUL QUEEN. Had one guy I taught complain about how everything I was showing him, like anti-airs, pokes, cancels, weren’t explained in the tutorials he read. I don’t think I’ve seen a fighting game that teaches the concept of anti-air actually. God hand, pretty much everything, the basic method you’re supposed to be playing.įighting games, everything, even good tutorials aren’t good enough to get a player in on the ground floor. W101, knowing you should buy unite guts and unite spring from the store, knowing you should use unite guts to reflect projectiles, knowing to use the whip to pull spikes off enemies, a lot of things.
I honestly didn’t get this without guides and the ingame tutorials were not very helpful. What do you think are some games with conveyance issues?
