Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts. (yiffit.net)

I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes.

For 2 of these games (Armored Core 6 and Gran Turismo 7), the major draw for me was the MP and I haven't even gotten to check out MP yet because it's locked out until you get passed a certain point in the progression system. Fuckin' why do any developers do this? I just wanted to play with my sister but we have to get through most of the fucking game before we are allowed to do the multiplayer modes. Such bullshit.

Natural selection 2 forces tutorials before unlocking multi-player, but it's absolutely needed for that game. It's also not that long, if you can't spend 15 minutes learning the basics of the game you are useless anyway.

They would but you'd have to unlock those functions first as well

If there was a game that had an unlock to actually suck nuts, I would focus all my time unlocking it. lol
