Is there anybody who does not hate cutscenes?
I play games because I have the urge to give my hands some action.
Instead of just letting me do this, the vast majority of video games force me to listen to some bullshit I do not care about.
The story of games could be told without taking away controller from the player.

>WTF why do I have to watch at cutscenes
/thread
Do basic research before buying a game, dumbass OP.
Oh wow you guys are soooo smart!
Have you ever considered that there are games which good gameplay I want to experience and therefore stomach the shitty cutscenes I have to endure in order to get to the gameplay?
With that logic, you could excuse every cancer in every game.
>Oh you did not like that it has a bug? Well, you should have done your research and not bought it HERP DERP
Sounds more like your awareness of what is out there and worth playing is limited to mainstream stuff.
if that shitposter is who I think it is, he thinks this is cutscene garbage despite the player having some control during it
and webm didn't attach for some reason
glorified QTE
>webm is gameplay
>calls it a QTE
dumbass
true
no, because im not moronic and can find plenty of games to play with no cutscenes instead
>oh GODDDDD is that... is that... a MINOR INCONVENIENCE????
>i must immediately give up on everything!
ask me how i know you guys are incels
I try to limit my exposure to MHW's handler as much as humanly possible. I also don't want to sit through literally 14 minutes of credits because I finished the base game.
You're forgetting the final stage
>alt+F4
I used to like them when they worked like this
>cutscene
>level starts, you play through it uninterrupted
>cutscene
This. Cutscenes used to feel like a fun little reward, nowadays they can really kill the pacing and take up too much time, usually over some shit you don't even care about.
I know what you mean.
at least SoP has an option to auto-skip cutscenes on stages you replay
Also if you let them play out Jack gets angry and skips them for you.
something tells me you're a zoomer.
people hated unskippable cutscenes because back in the day, you'd have to rewatch them every time you died.
these days games let you skip them if you've already seen them at least once. but back in the day it was pretty rare for a game to keep track of that
the story of a game should be in the manual so
you can read it whenever.
cutscene is fine if it's a 5 minute introduction into the story. what I hate more are those sections where you can freely walk and do shit yet you have to wait for some butthole to finish his monolog
>walk at the same pace as me as I spew exposition
i hate it
Developers use cutscenes because they want to make game longer. Same reason why slow walking segments exist.
are slow walking segments not for hiding load screens?
Cutscenes are fine, what isn't fine are those walking/following sections where you're not doing anything other than slowly moving through a path while the characters dump exposition or whatever. It's cheap, it's lazy, and it winds up being less engaging than the actual cutscenes.
I actually never had a problem with cutscene, what's truly unacceptable is whe
Guys I think candlejack got h
>he doesn't smashroll the entire keyboard
I've played games where K is the cutscene skip key. I'm not giving up til I press every god damn button.
>cutscenes are so kino you never skip them even on your 500th playthrough of the game
what's her name
she does have a name, right?
further proof that Nintendo fans are the buttom of the barrel of the gaming world
You could copy literally all that text over a picture of the Wii and it would still be 100% accurate.
This all applies to the switch as well and that thing is on track to become the best selling console of all time.
The Switch came put 7 years ago, anon. It's time to stop fighting this battle.
You sound stupid.
Cutscenes jolt the player out of the game world like a migraine attack takes its victim out of their lives. Take for example Horizon: Forbidden West, the game has a well-crafted world that allows for a journey of exploration. But no, the player has to follow a tedious, mediocre story acted by forgettable characters to progress the game. What if it was designed like Elden Ring? What if the player was thrown into this predatory land and they had to discover ways to survive those incredibly-designed machines? Worlds like Horizon’s and Red Dead Redemption’s are perfect for an open-ended survival experience, but, sadly, their developers have mastered the art of frustrating the player with scripted gameplay and game-stopping scenes.
>game has unskippable cutscenes
simple as
I had to mod Cyberpunk 2077 and add a launch option on steam to make it playable. No one fricking wants to use your lanucher or watch the logos and a cutscene every time they launch your game.
sometimes I watch the DMC3 cutscenes on YouTube for fun
I never skip cutscenes because you're just missing part of the story.
non-skippable intro ads when booting up the game really piss me off though.
>angry Kojima screeching
Anyone that skips cutscenes on a first playthrough needs to be tarred and feathered.
Not if the cutscenes are shit. Fricking Monster Hunter World had so many shit ass cutscenes. And truly there's just no reason to make someone watch something. It's supposed to be a fun pastime they enjoy, so if you need to force them to engage with it, then you shouldn't.
And they're fricking unskippable too lmao, what an absolute trashcan.
Cutscenes is the dumbest shit to ever enter video games. If you absolutely have to tell me a story (which I don't care about) tell it to me through gameplay
Didn't try
>F1
>ctrl
>backspace
>shift
>punching your keyboard
Fake gamer
yeah seems like every fricking game needs to have a 2 hour set piece intro. bought and refunded cyberpunk over the sale cause I was doing almost nothing but skipping through shit dialogue 90% of the time
>cutscenes
Mildly annoying
>interactive immersive sequences
I wanna kys myself
shit like this is why I am glad I avoided the GoW reboot
patientchads enjoy all vidya from AAA ludo to fighting games and arena fps; ADD zoomies loudly complain and ragequit at the first sign of a good narrative because they need instant dopamine all the time.
>making people waste 5 minutes holding the stick forward instead of making it a skippable cutscene is good narrative
It's actually the single worst use of the medium ever. It's the equivalent of going to the cinema and they hand you a book to read halfway through the movie and the movie doesn't start again until you're done.
>ADD chad zoomies play minecraft, fifa and fortnite, games that actually require reflexes and quick thinking
>geriatric boomers play walking sims with 150 accessibility options where you hold forward to win
lol
only applies to the first playthrough
if i want to watch a movie you know what i do? watch a movie
if i want to read you know what i do? read a damn book
guess what i dont want to do while playing videogames?
I don't think you watch movies or read books because you'd know there's a world of difference between a fast paced 90 minute action flick and a slowly pace 4 hour epic. There's a difference between a light Conan the Barbarian novella and a thick Thomas Pynchon book.
Video games are the same way. You only play what you're in the mood for and what you're prepared to tolerate. Going in with a crabby attitude is just setting yourself up to fail, and it isn't the game's fault.
>i want to play this fast-paced, third person, hack and slash called GOD OF WAR
>wow, this is really getting my blood pumping, slowly walking through a forest listening to a woman and a child talk while my character occasionally grumbles
Okay so we're back at square 1 which is you are incapable of doing basic research
before buying a game.
so it's shit on purpose, i understand
>I don't think you watch movies or read books
and you are wrong
Movies are shit nowadays so I play movie games to satisfy my needs for a good story.
theres no games with good story
>Movies are shit nowadays
>but modern games have good story
Most big games have a pozzed story too but the barrier to make a game is lower so there is at least some decent ones since not everything is controlled by the same Hollywood israelites.
They arent that bad on the first playtgrough but if you ever wanna replay it or backtrack to somewhere it suddenly becomes fricking insanely annoying
The "Immersive sequences" are fine once but what they truly do is punish people that wants to replay a game and the rebooted GoW is a absolutely atrocious on this front, I had no interest to replaying the game before Ragnarock because of that.
Fricking this. The section where you carry ashley to the lab at the end of the RE4 remake legitimately made me want to slam my head on the keyboard.
I don't understand games like mgs 5 and atomic heart that do these atrociously long intros without gameplay. I hate this more than cutscenes.
A game should earn my adhesion before it can become self indulgent with its pacing and narrative. Make me love your game first then I'll happily sit through hours of cutscenes and walking sim segments. But if you front load that shit, it pisses me off.
alt+f4
don't be a cuck.
>buy new game
>come home from work, tired
>want to spend an hour before bed playing the new game
>start game
>cutscenes and walking with npc so they can explain to me what's happening
>0 gameplay
>time to go to sleep
I legit hate modern gaming, it's why I don't play so much anymore.
In the good old days I came home from school, put burnout 3 in my PS2 and instantly, in less than 5 minutes I was having a blast.
Also, I miss split screen.
maybe don't be old and miserable
Story is the absolute least important element of any game and is actually disposable. A game does not need a story.
I love how immersive and slow rdr2 is, really makes you just want be a cowboy.
You forgot the picture of me pulling my phone out.
Yes I too want everything to be bing bing wahoo because I am mentally 10 years old
>story bad!!!
Why? I like stories. I like reading, in fact I'm reading right now and so are you. You chose to do this so I know you like it you homosexual, don't pretend. You could've been playing games but instead you're reading this. So much for not liking stories huh you little shit
>get up
>take a piss
>jerk off
>go make coffee
was it really that hard?
>come back
>cutscene ended and you are dead
which game was the one that ended every cutscene before a boss fight , with a projectile going in your face?
>the cutscene is boring/pointless and i have no interest in watching it
then why not just have the option to skip it? the people that care will watch it and the people that don't are just going to be annoyed
All cutscenes should be able to be paused, fast forwarded, rewinded, skipped, and viewable at any point in time via a main menu option after progressing in the story. If PS2 games could do this then there's no fricking excuse 20 years later on exponentially more powerful hardware. Anybody defending this believes that games should have less features than they did 20 years ago and should immediately slam their head on a knife
No. Complete opposite here. I unironically love cutscenes, the longer the better. They set the mood, act as rewards for progress, and are hopefully entertaining in their own right. I consider "movie game" a compliment, not an insult.
I usually have no idea which games have skippable cutscenes because I'd never think to try skipping them on a first run, and I rarely replay most games.
Rewinding and fast forwarding is hard to do for realtime cutscenes, particularly if they rely on physics engines and such.
you sound like a gay
stick to fifa or something
GTA cutscenes are pretty good
>Game has unskipable cutscene the first time you open the game
>Due to a bug, the game can "forget" you already saw the cutscene and plays all over again
Frick you HoMM3
It is dumb and bad business practice. Developers know there exist people that dont like wasting time with cutscenes and just want to play the game. Witcher 3 is a good example. I want to kill monsters but have to skip every single fricking cut its annoying. Tap X to get back to the game haha frick you. They'd rather force you to sit through their ideological drivel and pretend they have anything of value to say about "society" rather than just make a fun game that isnt a slog of button mashing to play the damn thing.
>cutscenes used to be better before!
fricking lol enjoy your 1 hour long MGS cutscenes rose tinted morons
can i enjoy my quake 3 cutscenes?
I'll allow it
anyway you should compare mgs with mgs4 or watever was the last
its like comparing FF7 with some shrmup, apples and oranges
You guys know what's the funniest shit to me?
When "people" who skip cutscenes get stuck because they don't know what to do.
Hilarious!
Anyone okay with unskippable cutscenes should be forced to play the Dark Riku fight in vanilla KH1 once a day, every day, for the rest of their lives
I didn't have any problems in KH1 until midway through the final boss, at which point you will have watched multiple cutscenes and have to watch them again if you lose, which I did, repeatedly.
>Is there anybody who does not hate cutscenes?
I do, and disabling skipping them is based
Don't even try anon, Ganker LOVES unskippable cutscenes
I don't watch cringescenes I will skip them, download mods to skip them if I can't normally, or alt f4 and uninstall on the spot if those options aren't available. I'm trying to play a game here not watch a shitty movie
what's worse than cutscenes are
>walk here whilst I talk
>pick up crate
>carry crate
>do that again whilst I continue talking
>okay come with me player we will start actual gameplay now
hey, pick up crate and carry isn't that bad
when its optional
>Hold to use
As opposed to toggling? I prefer the former.
>Forced change of main character
Some of the best expansions do this.
>Weak spot
Every game with headshots ever?
>Dogs
Okay, Hassan.
you prefer to hold X for 5 seconds to open a door than to press it once? really?
>Some of the best expansions do this.
so you are a blind fanboy
>Every game with headshots ever?
you know it doesn't go that way
>hassan
ok furry
I'm not ashamed to admit it, this filters me.
>Power: OFF
I don't mind cutscenes themselves.
I do mind unskippable 5 minute cutscenes that you are forced to rewatch if you fail a puzzle, lose to a boss, fall off during platforming, whatever. Just go to hell, for fricks sake.
On top of that when the game is good but the story and writing is some moronic marvel quip california moronation with bad voice direction and incompetent animation. Or when the cutscene is 10 minutes long because the developers wanted to make an interactive movie but had to settle for making a video game instead where actual gameplay unfortunately dilutes their masterpiece.
The only thing worse than bad unskippable cutscenes are unnecessarily nested menus and animated menu transitions etc. that makes it take 10 seconds to change your equipment or use your healing items.
tab out
browse net, while I wait for the cutscene to finish.
I only hate them in demos
>Play a demo of a non-story focused game
>The cutscenes are unskippable
Literally every Steam Next Fest this happens to me.
If there is even a need to skip cutscenes, you have already failed as a developer.
>if people replay your game, you have already failed as a developer
if the game have a lot of cut scenes I usually just not bother playing it and just watch only the cut scenes on youtube
