Yes it does… I have played a game where i was facing a boss and right after the game autosaves the annoying cutscene came on and i died like fifty times before i finally beat the boss and i didn’t even have the option of skipping the cutscene! i don’t play that game any more…

I don’t mind them too much the first time thru…but when you keep having to restart right after a cutscene because you died or something…that gets annoying…-_-

Overlong cutscene creator…. Read a book! Lol i still remember that parody on Xplay. These cutscenes drive me crazy, especially on games where the story is aweful.

I completely agree. The idea of skipping with the start button is terrific, because accidentally skipping when you don’t mean to really sucks. And Caleb brings up another good option, being able to go back and re-watch the scene in the bonus section later on. God of War gave that option for the hi-res scenes, and I thought that was really neat.

I agree that they should have a skipping option, but they would have to have a gallery to give you the option to re-watch it. A few good examples of why this would be good is because if the scene has the possibility to skip, theres a chance you can skip it unwillingly. So, if there is a skip, make a place where you can rewatch it (kinda like Tekken 5) because if I’m in my own world, I don’t stop pushing buttons just becasue the screen goes black.

i agree…skipping is nessecary..i kno it can be art, but how about reply value. If a cut sence is 10 minutes long, and i only have an hour to play, with one or teo cuts sence i dont get much play time, do i?

…but skipping should be an option.

Or at least integrate the game look/feel into the cut scene. I like the way WoW start with the cut scene showing the actual game environment. If you could use them in that way, where gane basically controls your character for a few seconds…that wouldn’t be so bad.

…and they make replay intolerable.

“When I am playing a game and am “in the zone” so to speak, sometimes a cutscene can get in the way.” – I completely agree. Who out there can defend why these cut-scenes are necessary? They break my concentration – let’s see made skippable!
