Except that I feel like I am getting less motivated. It feels like a complete pain to spend hours upon hours trying to learn how to play a game. It feels like there becomes a point where the game just isn't fun. I am not sure you saw the last part, but I basically am questioning if I even like video games or if this has all been a waste of time. Maybe I am just destined to hate everything and never have happiness. I am really coming to a point where I am debating if I should even bother playing games anymore or should just start sleeping since the alternative causes too much stress. Most nights I can't even motivate myself to play.

If everyone has a rough start, that sounds like the fault of the game. As far as I see it, X-Wing is a terrible and monotonous game where the cutscenes drag to the point I want to break my keyboard and the gameplay is about as boring as watching paint dry. I rather be playing Super Star Wars than this. I haven't been this bored since Star Wars Droids and even that didn't make me contemplate if I hated everything like this is. X-Wing might be possibly the worst game I have had the luck of touching, at least in the early stages, and it is miserable training in the hopes of learning to appreciate this thing. I don't know how to push forward to be happy.

I am indeed familiar with the "sequel expects you to understand the mechanics of the first game". That is essentially how Thief and Thief 2 works. The difference there is that those games were intuitive enough that you could pick it up as you went along, even from the second game (note, playing from the second game is a bad idea plot-wise). X-Wing is the first game in the series and features a tutorial where you must persistently do the same thing over and over until you do it right, all while offering little guidance. It feels like a tutorial mission without much of a point, one where it is essentially requiring perfection at this state.

Daggerfall is good at random generation.
