Unironically agree.
The game needs to make the player invested into the game first before you can dump your lore onto him.
Which is what 90% of games do because those that try to do that usually don't even get past the pitch phase because lore is irrelevant to video games.
>game starts off with someone waking up the main character
dropped.
>I'm sorry but
Only a cuck says sorry
Tiktok and shitty indie games changed us. You shouldn't skip, and you never did before this time. It's an established structure to have introduction to your story. ((But really how fresh a story can be, you think, I've seen it all before)) You can't assume those things, but you choose to. Maybe we're just depressed about our time slipping away through this hobby..

I've been skipping cutscenes since they were new.
>Game starts with a brief slideshow with text and a piece of the soundtrack that repeats every 30 seconds
yep kino
KYS ZOOMER
>game starts with a political map with colors spreading along it to indicate borders, and big arrows moving around to indicate the movement of armies
Fricking gets my wiener rock hard and ready to cum every time
I want IRL belka to nuke themselves too.
Exactly. This is why games like Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 1, 2 3 & 4, Pathologic, Stalker CoP, Lisa, Earthbound, Undertale, Metro, KCD, Castle Crashers, Stardew Valley, all Farcry games and MGSV are such hot pieces of shit. I prefer flash games on a browser where the action is IMMEDIATE
>thrown into game with no context no tutorial no anything
>wtf do i do bludddddd DAWGSHITTTTT
>game starts with an unskippable on-the-rails intro that doubles as a tutorial
I really hate that games do this shit.
>skipping cutscenes
Easily one of my biggest pet peeves. You morons seriously don’t deserve nice things.

Now that was so fricking bland. Compare to this, the music actually sells it as exciting:
Fricking awesome. I would have watched this shit a million times as a kid.
>Hastur
Do Japs read the King in Yellow?
>Game starts off with a character creation screen
Look, I'm sorry but uhh... I'm not american. I just do not give a frick, let me play the game
ADD central
How to do it right: HINT that something big is afoot without spelling it out.
I'm refunding if a game expects me to spend even two minutes on a loredump
>game starts with a narrated lore dump and a bunch of fantasy words that mean nothing being thrown at you
Redflag for terrible writting.
For your insolence, you may only play for twenty-three seconds before getting forced to watch another cutscene.
I agree. it needs better presentation
Take Skyrim intro for example
>Explained the political climate in the 4th era
>Character reacting to your race with appropriate dialogue
>Dragons coming back
all in 10 minutes of real time cutscene
Me with MGS3. I just want to shoot commies, holy shit the story is bad.
You don't have a soul
>Game starts with a philosopher's quote
>game starts with a made-up quote from an in-game character
