Player asks about the worst level in gaming, reopening old wounds in a massive discussion

On Reddit, gamers are discussing the worst level of all time, and a notorious tutorial is particularly unpopular.

The title image is a symbolic image.

What kind of discussion is this? A user asked on reddit: “Which level has made you the angriest? Bonus points if you actually quit the game because of it.”

The post has 1,200 likes, and almost twice as many people have commented on it. The top comment also provides the winner of the masses. The undisputed worst level in the history of gaming, at least according to Reddit, is the tutorial level in Driver.

The tutorial in Driver turned a man into a hero

The game from 1999 is infamous for its parking garage tutorial: Reddit user Bongo_Kickflip doesn’t even need to explain what makes the tutorial so legendary difficult in his comment, which has 1,800 likes.

For those who don’t know what the tutorial in Driver is about:

In the tutorial, you have to perform a variety of tricks with your car. Some are quite difficult, but they aren’t really needed later in the game.
Moreover, you are in a parking garage and have to maneuver around the thick concrete pillars that support the roof.

When mentioning Driver, ArmedMartian remembers a true hero from his childhood:

There was a guy at my father’s work who was known for being able to pass the tutorial. That damn hero borrowed the kids’ memory cards of his colleagues on the weekend, completed the tutorial, and then returned them on Monday.

What levels are mentioned by the community? Another level that caused frustration was the one with the remote-controlled helicopter in GTA Vice City. 1,300 Reddit users agree with NikTh_.

For the user DeathByToilet, the RC missions in GTA San Andreas were particularly bad and have triggered awful memories of the helicopter mission from Vice City: “San Andreas’ Zero RC mission gave me Vice City PTSD, honestly f*ck the helicopter missions.”

mediocrityindepth mentions a level that he still can’t shake off: “I’m sure I’ve accomplished harder things since then, but the test for the International A license in the original Gran Turismo still lives rent-free in my head nearly 30 years later.”

One user comments: “I saw my friend leave the game in rage and almost throw his controller across the room – probably at least five times before we all got our A licenses.”
