Not just for series, this is the same with games.

"The first 50 hours of Final Fantasy 14 suck, but the expansions afterwards are worth it!"

"The game starts at max level!"

I can't stand it. And it's not like the game magically gets much better, it just feels pretty okay for someone who just wasted months of their time on the bad parts. Of course you'll enjoy mediocre parts later on after suffering through that crap.

A game has to start being fun ten minutes after the tutorial tops. Why play it otherwise?

“The game starts at max level!”

Diablo 4 fans be like

Nah, Diablo 4 is much more fun when leveling from 1 to 70 or so. 70 - 100 is just doing the same things over and over with barely any rewards. It's the other way around there, leveling is fun, endgame is dogshit.

Usually "game starts at max level" is used for MMOs like WoW. Where all the leveling is seen as annoying bullshit fetch quests and at max level you do dungeons and raids.

That would not.apply at all to EvE Online. Levels? What levels? Game content? Only if you make it happen. Lol.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it certainly isn't for everyone
