Here's an old one: Lost Vikings 2. You beat the first level by walking all three characters to the right, and there are no enemies, but if you try hard enough, you can get one of them killed with fall damage, at which point the game decides you're not good enough to play it and gives each player character new moves and/or buffs that make the puzzle-based exploration and combat easier.

I'm always so happy to see this game get recognition.

In the Spider-Man 1 ps2 game there’s also a way to amaze Bruce Campbell by being unbelievably awful. The tutorial is set in a black void with I think 3 buildings. During the tutorial Bruce will direct you to a door which you can knock on to produce very weak enemies to practice fight. The enemies do almost no damage so you really have to try to let them kill you, but if you manage it you’ll unlock a hidden line of dialogue about how it wasn’t supposed to be possible to die in the tutorial 😂

I know in ArmA 3's tutorial you can increasingly make your commanding officer more and more annoyed as you fail the basic mechanics. To the point he continues the tutorial for you while making statements that boil down to "Oh my god, I can't believe they're letting you train these guys" as the tutorial is framed as you teaching the AFF soldiers and makes you wonder what NATO was thinking.

We NEED Bruce Campbell to narrate EVERY game from now on!

I’d argue that since they took the time to program these responses and events in, they not only believed we’d be that bad, they fully expected it.

Being the first of its type, it's only natural that SimCity has a tutorial to help you learn the ropes in the form of the green-haired mascot Dr. Wright. He'll sometimes pop up to explain the basics on his own, and you can call on him any time for more tips. Do this too much though, and he'll get fed up with you and remind you that YOU are the mayor, not him, and election day is coming up. I also really liked the Wright Files in the SNES manual detailing the backstories of failed cities and the reasons why they failed so much.

It reminds me of 2 "secret" characters from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the DS: -Norne the archer volunteers to join if you f*ck up so bad you get out of the prologue with only 3 people left -Nagi the dragon lady, who joins if you manage to get Tiki to die, AND somehow lose the holy sword Falchion

Your VTOL crashes and she tells you to run, which given the insane number of enemies you do, meaning she meets an unfortunate end. It was only much later I realised that by killing all the very scary enemies very quickly (difficult when you’ve spent the entire game being very sneaky) you can actually save her. Not sure about other examples (aside from various mass effect ones).

Also in the first Deus Ex, you as JC were encouraged to escape an apartment while your brother Paul heroically sacrifices his life fighting off large number of enemy forces, with you finding his dead body later when you infiltrate the enemy lab. However staying and fighting (or actually just leaving by the front door instead of the window that the game tells you to exit by), Paul survives, and instead you find him alive and imprisoned within that same lab. Him surviving is obviously canon as he also appears in the following game.

The loss is in part because it's so standard these days to just put all the info on how to play a game in the game itself with tutorials. It's also because the games back then needed massive manuals to tell the game's backstory and lore because they didn't have the means to put it in the actual game. Now they have cutscenes, character dialog, and sometimes even in game textbooks to tell you the same thing. But yes, those manuals were pretty impressive. A lot of them had details that you'd never know about otherwise even with story rich games where there were a lot of information presented in the game.

I lived in NYC for 2 decades, reading the manual on the subway ride home was a ritual I miss. Now I have to drive or it gets delivered in the mail, so banal.

There was a free-to-play unity game I once saw, I can't remember the name of it, but in the tutorial they give you the basics of the game. There is a combat part where you can either fight a dummy that has one hit point and defeat it, or jump out a window to your death. If you choose the latter, the game accuses you of trolling it and your head is turned into the trollface meme and you have to do it again.

I always liked the Myth II: Soulblighter tutorial; I don't think it ever straight up fails you for anything (or if it does it's really hard to do) but the narrator has some pretty snide remarks for you messing around.

Used to have combination manual from a box set of multiple old RPGs(Bard's tale, Ultima series, Might and Magic series etc), that thing had more pages than anything but the longest Steven King novels. Used to umm read it in the....umm facilities.

To be completely fair about being able to turn off the O2 in FTL, there were times that tiny bit of energy saved me, so long as the 02 gets turned back on in time. Also, if your invaded, you can do that to make the air rushing out that much quicker in vented rooms.

Oh man red faction guerrilla was an awesome game to play as a kid. Launching thermobaric missiles at shit and smashing buildings down with a sledgehammer. Good times

You could actually get sent directly to Fort Leavenworth (the jail cell in Americas Army) from a live server as well for too many negative ROE violations. doing team damage within a few seconds of the match start or too many teamkills (or shooting civilians in some of the maps) the sever would kick you, and your game client would start a local game running that map. Me as a kid in 2005 who still had dial up and a 60 gig, 7200 RPM IDE Hard drive the real punishment was the 5 minutes spent waiting for prison to load and then the other 5 minutes trying to get back into the server with my friends. If I recall if you open the console, enable SV_cheats and turn on no clip the other jail cells all have developer easter eggs in them

One time when I had either some intruders onboard or a fire, my O2 was also damaged/offline, and I knew about it (but had to deal with the other situation first). The hotkey to open all doors, by default, is next to another hotkey I was trying to use instead while venting/dealing with the situation. So I could only helplessly watch as all my doors opened, draining the limited remaining O2 and putting me into a death spiral I couldn't recover from.

I remember another game, might even have been Opposing Force or AA, but every time you fuck up at the obstacle course the drill sergeant would pipe up with "What is your major malfunction soldier? get back up and try it again!"

Just a note, America's Army would send you to Leavenworth even during regular gameplay if you got to much friendly fire,

Don’t forget Nier automata having a special ending if you die during the tutorial. It is even worse because it shows up on your save file. So, now you are reminded every time you load your game.

Ok but in my defense those giant buzzsaws cheated by trapping me in the corner

Love it! As a Marine, now I have yet another embarrassing Army tidbit to rib my Army buddies about.

I really like Red Factions problem solving. Aka: hit it with a hammer.

3:39 - "The game will having something to say about it." *Ad for Raid Shadow Legends* ...Damn, it's bad if you fail so hard they make you play Raid.

Don't know how you make this video without including the game journalist trying to beat the Cuphead tutorial a few years ago.

I actually remember purposely dying in the FTL tutorial and getting that message. Good times

"Security to the bridge, the Master Chief has gone rampant. Take him down, boys."

I want to see a game or animated show where Bruce Campbell and Patrick Warburton play brothers in a hilarious fish out of water story.

in Rayman 3 on game cube , fail too often to collect the first lums (you just have too maintain left and right, and murphy, the tutorial guy, will say " you never play a video game or what ?" The irrony is, that was the case for me

There's some shooting game, I think it was an America's Army, where you're going through an obstacle course, with a jerk of a sergeant. I shot him and immediately ended up in jail, and the game ended.

I can’t believe that the Star Wars battlefront prologue isn’t on here I spent multiple months trying to beat it

What about Deponia? Especially later chapters. Everyone was making fun of Rufus.

In Bungie's Myth: The Fallen Lords and Myth 2: Soulblighter the tutorial instructor was famously impatient with the player's bullshit. One of my favorites was: "You see the marching warrior? Click on him and press the spacebar to stop him." "No, no, click on the warrior and press the SPACE BAR to stop him." "THE BIG KEY BENEATH ALL THE LITTLE KEYS!"

Kinda surprised The Stanley Parable wasn’t on this list. That game was basically one big tutorial. It’s more fun disobeying narrator then doing what he told you.

you could consider the demo a tutorial perhaps? this reminds me i need to play the newest version now.

I worked at the US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth in the late 90’s when I was in the Army and I don’t remember any harmonica music.

I can't remember how I managed it, but I vaguely remember accidentally failing the FTL tutorial once. After having attempted several playthroughs. It's a great game, but unless you can learn how to use the keyboard macros efficiently, memorize or research all the unique events, and learn how to optimize whatever ship you're flying with whatever comes your way, the game will essentially be death by dice. I've never quite completed it, although I've had the rebel flagship down to its last few hull points before choking. You should probably study the wiki or a few videos if you're really focused on winning. Thing is, it's one of those games that's great fun even when it's kicking your butt. At least the first hundred times or so.

Having gone through basic training, seeing this guy flag a DS with a LOADED WEAPON... I JUST ABOUT SHIT MYSELF.

That forward assist slap on the reload animation lol

In CoD Modern Warfare 2 your drill instructor dueing the tutorial tells you that switching weapons is faster than reloading before you run the obstacle course. If you reload instead of switching during the course he yells at you that switching weapons is faster than reloading. This is made all the worse by the fact that reloading your primary weapon with piercing bullets allows you to hit multiple targets at once instead of switching to your sidearm is in fact the best way to get the target time for the achievement, so not only does the tutorial mock you, it's wrong for doing so.

To be fair, you wouldn't run out of ammo in eg. an MP5 or M4 in that part.
