What are some of the most frustrating UX experiences you've encountered while trying to start playing a new game? Conversely, what part of the onboarding experience do you think games generally tend do better than apps?

It's sort of duh but games can have a much easier path to connecting with they user on an emotional level, and users retain lessons learned better when there is this sort of bond.

just thinking about this today - portal 2 onboarding. It's purposefully confusing and backwards because it assumes players have had previous experiences - which is the biggest problem for games. Not accommodating to people who may be picking up a controller for the first time.
