What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial? (beehaw.org)

Either it didn't teach you anything at all, or it taught you the most irrelevant parts of the game.

Does anyone remember Driver on the, I think, PS1? I mean the tutorial wasn't awful because it's irrelevant but because it's notoriously difficult to beat.

    I didn't find it difficult so much as frustrating when I would do what it asked, but it wouldn't register until I did it like 10 times.

    Elite Dangerous had a similar tutorial where you had to run through a checklist of things to complete it and move on to the main game. When I first got it back in beta, it was not optional and it also wasn't clear on how to do some of the shit it asked you to do, forcing you to check the controls constantly. It's an optional thing now, and there is also the option of running through the lift off check list every single time you launch your ship. Pointless and tedious, but adds some immersion.
