Devs are so damn insecure about their own game that they coddle gamers and allow them to just skip anything they want.

>>714801452 (OP)
Why is this a bad thing? Let me skip the unnecessary fluff and get to the story

ya ya you truly hate it by watching it and promoting it here

>>714801576
Just don't even reply if you're a stupid fuck zoomer

Nothing personel I'm just going to skip the entire game
lol
lmao
I know I know but it's just
I'm gonna skip the whole game

>>714801576
just watch it on youtube

>>714801452 (OP)

I'm sorry to break it to you OP but not everyone is a terminally online unemployed loser like you who can spend 30 minutes DRIVING in a fucking videogame. Some people wanna get on with the story, action and progress and not just hold W on empty ugly roads.

People have jobs, lives, a boyfriend, etc.
You having none of those doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't have fast travel features.
You're more than free to drive non stop everywhere you want, i will skip the shitty boring drive and finish the game and you can't do anything about it :)

>if it ain't important, don't add it
the nigger has a point

>>714801576
or why not be smart like rockstar and have dialogue during long portions of travel

>>714801576
Than just remove the inbetween and have it be a linear game with mission cutscene mission cutscene
Gta sa let you skip driving if you failed a mission because it was boring as fuck after a while. I think the issue is the maps have only gotten bigger and sa was finally big enough that it did start to feel tiresome compared to vice city which lets you drive from one side to the other in like 2 minutes max.
Gta4 added taxis which i abused to skip half of the driving in the game lol

>>714802172
>Than just remove the inbetween and have it be a linear game with mission cutscene mission cutscene

Why?
Adding the skip button pleases both sides of the playerbase.
Terminally online unemployeed losers can fully immersively drive anywhere in a big open world they'll enjoy calmly driving on.
People with a life will be able to skip the boring filler.

>>714803220
being too stupid to realize your life has no meaning is not the W you think it is

>>714803231

Why not? Thye should and can do whatever the fuck they want, and that includes skipping a boring uneventful driving scene in a videogame.

You should try going outside and touching grass, or do you wanna skip that feature?

Plotfags and immersionfags are among the many reasons gaming is dying/ dead

>>714803394

But my life has meaning and i mean everything to my boyfriend. I'm sorry you're a bitter lonely incel, but chin up, chances are you'll be a suicide statistic before Magia Old Country comes out so skipping the driving sections will not trigger you while you're dead.

>>714801870
God I wish I had a boyfriend with a feminine penis.

>>714803407
>Why not?
Because they don't like playing them?
If you skip video game parts, then why tf are you even playing the game in the first place? It's like going to cinema and watching reels instead of a movie. (I forgot faggots like you do this too)

Most games have terrible gameplay honestly. I find it hard to name one that has worse gameplay than GTA

As a father of 3 that's been married twice, currently going through a divorce, dealing with an aging mother, working 2 full time jobs, developers creating time wasting shit like this is awful, and I'm glad to see them starting to add in features like this to appeal to 90% of gamers.
We don't have time for this, and we're lucky if we get 1 hour per week to play a game. Do I want to spend that time driving a car in a game? No. I want to engage with a story, see the credits, and be happy that I beat the game after 6 months of playing. If you think anything is wrong with this.
Get. A. Life.

>>714803584
>If you skip video game parts, then why tf are you even playing the game in the first place?

Videogames offer lots of things to different people. Some care about the actions, others the gameplay, other the story, others the immersion, etc.

I'm sure there will be lonely losers who will play Mafia old country JUST for the driving and setting and won't care for the story and shooting.
I'm sure there will be pew pew underage kids that will skip all cutscenes and driving just so the ycan get to the SHOOT SHOOT KILL KILL part.
If I played Mafia myself i would play it for the setting and story, not for the boring driving or pew pew scenes.

You sound triggered that everyone finds fun and entertainment on different parts of something. I'm sorry you'll never be happy.

>>714802172
>Gta4 added taxis which i abused to skip half of the driving in the game lol
Holy shit do people really?

Remember when old games forced you to drive around all the time
You learned the layout of the map

You know your way

Maybe if you spent more time walking and driving in real life instead of in videogames you'd get a boyfriend :)

Why? Nothing is stopping (You) from playing the driving missions, and if scrubs want a fake sense of accomplishment by not playing the game they paid 80 bucks for, who cares? Let them be casual mongs.

I played the entirety of gta 5 with the taxi service

>that

looks fun

>>714801576
oh you.

>>714804127
Driving sucks ass in GTA anyways, I did the same. Couldn't even finish 5 despite that

>>714803839
Just play a different game, you faggot. If you don't like playing the game as a whole, then play a different fucking game. If you don't like gameplay in game, then go watch a movie.

At any point you can just apologize to open world zelda and red dead. Nobody is holding you to it.

whats wrong with driving for 30 minutes in a video game? I play games for the immediate content. It doesnt matter if it's a text box I read, a platforming section, a boss fight, or driving from a to b. any kind of engagement is good. how fried is your brain?

>>714801576
just watch a fuckin playthrough on yt then no difference

>>714801576
If its fluff juat make a lineae game, skippable on first play just means its not important enough to even be there at all.

>>714801452 (OP)
Wasn't there a lock picking mini game in Star Wars Outlaws that you could turn off? It wasn't patched in, the option was always there for the people didn't enjoy doing it, which was virtually everyone. But if that's the case it begs the question why in the actual fuck did you even put it in the game to begin with?

>Bro the devs were so cool they gave you the option to turn off parts of the game you may not like
No no no no, you're not getting a high five. You put in a mini game that you knew nobody would have fun with, and if it's not fun why is it even there? That's retarded. This game is retarded.

>>714801870
If you have jobs why don't you just save time by using a taxi to get to work?

I'll be honest I used to take the taxi in GTA because I just wanted to mainline missions not drive around. But then I realized those games just aren't for me. Apparently you guys all enjoy that traveling while people talk shit.

>>714804409

Nah I will play Mafia, i will skip the driving and there's NOTHING you can do about it.
You're literally powerless. I will have fun out of the parts I WANT and you can't force me to spend hours bored out of my mind driving in a fictional world.

You should try skipping those scenes too and going outside for a change :)

Are you guys underage and have no car in real life? Driving is not as fun as you think it is.

It's optional, think of it like a mod that you don't need to use. The intended experience is to drive fully and take in the atmosphere

>>714801870
What if... hear me out... what if you had driving in a game... listen... you had driving in the game, but it didn't take 30 minutes to get from one mission to another?

>>714801576
>get to the story
it's a game not a book

>>714805092
I didn't intend to stop you from playing the game that way. I just think that it's retarded but that's your problem since you play fraction of a game you paid full price for

>>714801576
Why design such a convoluted mechanic if you’re just gonna let us skip it? Why not just focus that energy on something else or, you know, actually making the driving enjoyable?

>>714805271
what if the mission is to drive for 30 minutes

Damn. I thought this game looked good but I hate this lowest common denominator crap… thanks for the warning

so you bought a game that you don't want to play and really just want the story.
Why not just watch longplay on YT? You just wasted money.

1. I pirate
2. The game offers lots of fun things and interactions outside of empty boring driving for 30 minutes

i know this is bait but where do you draw the line

It's part of the damn videogame. Why not skip the story, action, and progress too? Why bother playing it? Nobody needs to play.

Also, if that part of the game sucks so bad why not just cut it?

>>714806707
>It's part of the damn videogame.

And? Are people required to engage with every part of a videogame? Baldur's gate 3 has gay sex and gay romances, did you engage with them?
No? then you're an hypocrite.

>>Also, if that part of the game sucks so bad why not just cut it?

There are players who like it, why shouldn't both sides of the playerbase get what they want?

You guys are having a meltodwn over nothing, i bet you also cry when a videogame has EASY difficulty.

>>714801452 (OP)
Why they dont just watch a movie?

>>714806548

Little bro, the game is called Mafia, not Need for Speed.

>>714801820
Is there any other way to play games? Cheers from Brasil.

>>714806947
And the first one was known for it's more realistic driving than GTA 3 at the time which released a year or so before it. Whereas in GTA you could drive like an idiot in Mafia you had the cops on your ass when you went above the speed limit in Heaven.
It was an integral part of the games since the very first.

>little bro
Your dad wasn't even sperm in your grandfathers ball sacks when the first one released.

Based. So many games have these moments that make sense on the first playthrough but that are absolute time-wastes on every other.
Rockstar cooked with its skip mission mechanic. Kojima cooked with his skip boss mechanic. And Mafia will cook with its skip driving mechanic.
And the best thing of them all? Whitey will seethe about all three. Good.

>>714807941

>>714801576
>all those butthurt post
lmao you sure triggered them, all of that is because of the "open world" design, it's complete shit and you are absolutely right, they might as well make a linear game at that point.
normally in that case if the dev actually gave a shit or two about his game, his would put side objectives around the map that you can accomplish to change the way the main objective can be completed (like in farcry 2) giving you a reason other than filler dialogue to actually drive and keep playing.
an other way to do it is making the driving a part of the mission or simply making it a cinematic of your character driving with fade to black when he is about to start the mission

why add the fluff in the first place

>>714809935
The second option is always correct. People who want to skip a story on a replay or because it sucks are correct. People who hurt themselves then cry about it can be ignored.

>>714809935
Being able to pause and skip cut scenes is important to any video game and anyone that thinks other wise should be forced to complete the og Kingdom Hearts on PS2.
