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.

Agreed. I'm in the one of the null blocs, and have been since for last 4-5yrs. I'm not particularly deep into the community, either the alliance or Eve in general, but I just like playing with other people. Are F1 Tidi blobs fun? No, but I'm still playing with people. Logi wing can be fun, trying to get everything organized, and then keeping cap chains organized and going while get melted. I was doing FW earlier the in year, which is ofc much smaller scale, so I got to chit chat and know the regular gang that I ran in. Which was nice.

Compare that to FFXIV, where I really don't have to talk or work with anyone, other than in instances. A single player experience in a world filled with others doing their own single player experience. Yeah there's community, but it never feel like it resolves around the game; it's all just extraneous stuff like nightclubs and stuff.

Gameplay wise in Eve, I feel like I've done everything I've really wanted to do in the game. After this many years of playing, the mystique and curiosity is gone. But the players do still make it interesting from time to time. Thank god for that.

A game came out recently (called Palia) that essentially forces you to make "pals" to achieve certain things and even be able to gather certain resources. My other half has been playing it and was complaining about the "forced" interaction in the game and I told her similar things to what you're saying about Eve, that interacting with others to achieve goals will actually become the best part of the game in the long term.
