The Tutorial Is Terrible

[Doggo]

Im not even talking about the bugs. I just sat through and streamed the tutorial level (because my game refuses to connect to the "franchise server") and it was legit the most boring gameplay experience ever. Its literally no different then just watching a video tutorial on youtube or something. Even after sitting through it im still not 100% on what the heck im doing. Dont even get me started on the narrators. I think they're supposed to be some charming old couple but they just never shut up. They just drone on and on with cheesy lines and random animal tips. The terrible weather England has was mentioned at least four times. I think there were more puns then actual hints on how to play the game. Even my viewers were asking when the fun part was going to start but it never did. Tried to get into franchise mode a few more times but it seems like a no go for me. Guess I'll take a nap and try again in a few hours when they get some startup issues ironed out.

Common mistake, most developers fail with tutorials. I expect no less from Frontier. Hopefully they use their time effectively until release

I understand what you mean but i think its a typical Tutorial. If you never played an Frontier Game like Planet Coaster or Jurassic World you need this boring Part to understand how everything works.

FYI....The tutorial is not complete. The full version will be available when the game is released.

I agree wholeheartedly. The first campaign level gives only extremely basic info. I tried to start a zoo in franchise mode and had 0 idea what to even do. We need a franchise mode tutorial or something, I have been hyped for this for weeks and already want to stop playing because of confusion and irritation.

I wouldnt go as far as saying that it is completely useless. I think it skims over the employee part a bit too much, but the part of habitat building and animal welfare is pretty well covered.

i just played the tutorial for 1,5 hrs straight, i was having a blast.

Seemed like a pretty standard first tutorial to me, but it's quite clear it's unfinished. The whole point of the early levels of the campaign mode are to acquaint you with different aspects of the game. That's how it was in ZT2. And as this is a beta, of course you're not going to get the full experience -- and probably not the full tutorial.

I own almost all of their games including Jurassic World (every dlc b/c big dino nerd) and Planet Coaster and I really dont remember the tutorials being so boring. Jurassic World had likeable characters which made it at least less painful whereas the narrators in this game are just awful. There are so many mechanics which im not saying is a bad thing but may require a more spread out approach rather then just rushing you through a bunch of mechanics then topping it off with "im off for tea ok bye" and leaving you with no idea how to actually run the park. Tutorials dont HAVE to be boring. This one sadly is.

Also yes its beta and all that good stuff but its just my current feedback. Obviously everyone is going to have different thoughts and opinions but this is just mine so far. Hopefully the franchise servers will be up later and i can mess around on there some!

i found it fine, told me everything i needed to know and what to look for, you do have to listen and want to learn how to play the game if not you miss something and could be fumbling around for a bit finding what she just said but seemed fine.

Try restarting your game, that got franchise mode to work for me

I think the tutorial was amazing.

Hate to sound stupid, but I couldn't find the tutorial. Where is it?

Thanks.

The Scenario features the first part of the tutorial within the Temperate biome, several objectives, and has free play after the objectives are completed.
