Unskippable cutscenes solely exist to pad game length and are utter bullshit.

It's really only a big issue it they go on for longer than a minute and/or come right before a part of the game where it's a reasonable expectation that you might game over. Plenty of RPGs are nasty about both.

>>713325310
Nah fuck that. I'm an adult and I got shit to do. Your lore and other bullshit is just a waste of my time.

It's to empty your shit bag and piss jar down the toilet dummy

You're disrespecting the artistic vision if you skip cutscenes.

>solely
No they don't

See it?

>>713325228 (OP)
There are countless games with no cutscenes. Perhaps you should consider playing them instead of whining that the world doesn't revolve around your tastes like a little bitch you ADHD retard.

>>713325686
Not all of us are NEETs who can waste their day watching shitty cutscenes with writing and acting that is objectively worse than a high school drama class.

Once the cutscenes are put in the game the length is padded, they can market the game as being X hours long without making them unskippable
Unskippable cutscenes are for making sure that the player can't accidentally miss crucial information or so that the player can't not see what the devs worked sooooooooo hard on

>>713325475
thats good dandori

>>713325228 (OP)
I hate them too. I also hate if you can't skip those company ads when booting up a game.

probably not, the effort to write and create a high quality fully animated voice acted cutscene with sfx and bgm far exceeds the effort to create 5 more minutes of gameplay.
they just want to win game awards

>>713325310
>longer than a minute
lol

>>713325228 (OP)
they exist to piss me the fuck off.

Just go play arcade games you miserable faggots

>>713325228 (OP)
They exist for storytelling purposes. That said, making them unskippable is a sign that the dev is absolutely up their own ass. Either that, or they don't know how to implement a skip function and therefore are incompetent. Likely the former.

>>713325228 (OP)
They're bad for multiple playthroughts, but if you skip them the first time you're playing you didn't beat the game.
Case in point >>713325445

>>713325789
Then don't. That's what the person you replied to just fucking said. Fucking retard

>>713325228 (OP)
Now imagine playing an MMO and adding in unskippable cutscenes, where you might play through on multiple characters, experiencing the same pain multiple times.

Why the fuck should I have to sit through poorly written garbage if I don't want to?

>Unskippable cutscenes are bs!
>Has never pressed the skip cutscene button his whole life.
Suuuuuurre.

>>713328984
when you prioritize "storytelling" over gameplay in a videoGAME, you have failed.

>>713329282
So? I don't leave my house but having the government tell me I can't was bullshit

>>713329282
>>713329081

>>713325228 (OP)
I have to watch them cause my controller doesn't have a skip cutscene button

>beat game
>cutscenes are skippable on second playthrough

>>713325228 (OP)
Cutscene after cutscene

>>713325228 (OP)
Sometimes they are to disguise horrendous loading times.

I'll take a cutscene over a forced walk&talk section to mask load times for the next area. It's more aggravating on modern systems where load times are basically non-existent, so you're literally just wasting my time.

>>713329079
Do not disrespect me

>>713329550
always hate this, no NOO you can't just skip cutscenes while in a ng state you HAVE to keep your savefile for if you want to replay 10 years from now

>>713329310
Story > Gameplay for same people, and they're right

>>713325228 (OP)
They're shit. The only thing worse is a game which has coop but every player must play far enough into a level to see the unskippable cutscenes for themselves before they can enter another players instance (who has also experienced the shitty cutscene for themselves) and finish the level off together

>>713330990
Game stories are okay at best but good gameplay will keep me coming back for hundreds of hours

>>713331209
It depends on the game i guess, i love both FFX and Mario 64 for different reasons

>>713325228 (OP)
Is this the thread? Ok Ok. Ahem

Temples and other such gameplay scenarios solely exist to pad game length and are utter bullshit.

>>713331254
Playing FF games feels like such a chore. Only jrpgs I can really stomach is smt because of the gameplay

Anything instakill is bullshit, especially if it makes you respawn somewhere else entirely - forcing you to travel over to the "instakill section" again just to try and most likely fail over and over again.
Also if you're gonna have 'platforming' make sure to make the controls tight as fuck or you can suck my fucking cock.
