The worst by far in my experience is Animal Crossings. The dialog in that game is straight word vomit designed to stretch out whatever conversation they’re having. I just want to give the owl some fossil for a collection. I don’t want to sit through 6 paragraphs of dialog about whatever it is they Yap on about.

Ngl if you’re too cooked to pay attention to the plot in a video game for five minutes you should read a book

Yeah this made Ghost of Tsushima insufferable to play

I always think people skipping cutscenes in games are like people skipping scenes in movies… why do you do that? Also, why use The Witcher 3 as example? That story is so good!

Should be a toggle to make them shippable or unskippable because I accidentally skip them sometimes and in a first playthrough that kinda sucks.

I would use skip cutscenes option only after the first playthrough

My favourite way is when your first play through the game you can’t skip, but on subsequent play throughs you can.

I stop playing games that don’t at least let me fast forward. I have never watched a complete cinematic. I don’t fucking care let me play.
I beat FFX 3 times and just learned last year that the Zanarkand in the beginning was fake. I always thought Tidus got sucked into a fake world inside Sin and was fighting for his way out. Then he succeeded and disappeared from the rest of the party.

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this…
I NEVER watch cutscenes in games. I’m not here to watch a movie in my limited time after work. If I like the story enough by the end of the game, I will try to find a YouTube video of nothing but the cutscenes cut into a single video.

skip button help when doing another playthrough just for gameplay progression. yeah sometimes i like to experience the story again but having a choice to skip it would be nice

I’m sure glad the re-releases of the first Kingdom Hearts lets you skip the cutscenes, because I have PTSD from a certain Hollow Bastion fight I had to retry a good hundred times on the OG PS2 version. 😭

I’d just skip this entire game.

Using The Witcher to make this point is the only war crime that was committed….

Download game on gamepass, start game, has unskippable intro, close game, and uninstall

So glad this game was so good that I didn’t skip anything at all. Didn’t want to risk ruining what turned into the best game I’ve ever played.

This is how I feel on repeat playthroughs of certain games (lookin at you, Fallen Order!)

How glib.
In all honesty though, I get why it’s unskippable, but I also know there are better ways.

GTA is the only game where I won’t skip cutscenes. Fuck that shit. I’m here to game. Not watch movie.

Bl3 added it later except for 1 cutscene but you still have to go see lilith

Tried to get into horizon forbidden west after giving up on it years ago. After the 5 minute unskippable intro I was already mentally checked out. It really sucks when the story and characters aren’t that compelling

For a game which came out in 2012, it’s surprising that max payne 3 doesn’t have skippable cutscenes
