The forced tutorial at the start was incredibly annoying.
Let me play and figure it out myself. That is 90% of the fun of a game.

You can skip the opening tutorial by just saying "no" when she asks if you want to learn about the gameplay changes, so it's not forced; additionally, that tutorial won't be in the full game, and is only there to get people up to speed for this demo as a lot of things have changed.
In many cases though, people who skip the tutorial seem to be unaware of the C key for utility abilities, and even less often the A/S keys to switch those abilities, let alone how the powerups work with save pads, and other things that aren't inherently intuitive.
We also tried putting up pictures on the walls instead of text, but this didn't really solve much, and some things just can't be shown through pictures easily (like needing to not die to keep powerups and that you can only switch them on the save pad for game balance reasons).
That's why we have the tutorial, so that people who do want to be informed about this can, and if they don't want to, they can simply skip it. (It also serves as an introduction to the characters and the game world, too.)
In the full game, this stuff will have been learned over the course of the game, so tutorials like this won't be needed.
