Are you a cutscene skipper?

[MattyJ]

When playing a game, do you always try and skip forward the cutscenes to the acutal gamplay? Does it depend on wether the cutscene is actually contributing to the plot or not? Do you give the cimematics a chance to entertain you before you hit the 'skip button', or do you bash the controller the second the scene fads in? Do you sit and pay attention to the cutscenes or use them as a little intermission break to take a leak or grab food?

What about if you've already played through once and watched the cinematics before? Do you sit and watch the cutscenes for a second time? Post your cutscence habbits.

EDIT: What are some cutscenes you will watch everytime?

 

[Birras]

I'll watch them the first time around, but after that I'll skip them.

 

[AroLombardi]

I'll watch them the first time around, but after that I'll skip them.

This.

 

[Hazy]

Never.
If I've seen it multiple times, then I might skip it.
But that's if I don't care for it.

 

[New Troll]

I'll watch them the first time around, but after that I'll skip them.

They have to be extremely boring for me to skip them the first go around. They have to be pretty awesome for me not to skip them next time around.

 

[Cpt Morgan]

I'll watch them if it's the first time.
Unless the story doesn't interest me after a while, then I just skip them through the rest of the game.

EDIT: If it's epic then I'll watch it every time.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

At certain times. Typically not on the first play through.

It always seems to me that the cutscenes I want to skip the most are the ones that don't provide the options.

 

[aruseusx]

The second time I've seen it I will. This doesn't apply to devil may cry or Fallout 3.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Depends on the game. In BioWare games I tend not to, but that's mostly because their space battles rule.

But with most games I'll watch them once and skip them next time.

 

[Paragon Fury]

I watch all the cutscenes, everytime.

 

[Phlaren1]

Depends on the game story. If the story is good, no. However if the story is bad, hell yes

 

[NeutralDrow]

Only if I'm repeating the scene for some reason. I always watch, otherwise (including on second playthrough).

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

I always skip a cutscene the second time, unless it was really funny.

And I mean really.

Like, not a knock, knock joke funny, a comedy routine type funny.

I could type like this for the next three years, so I should stop now.

Actually, not the next three years, I'll need breaks, maybe three years total? Maybe- *slap*

Okay, I'm done now.

Not done like- *gun shot*

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Umm... usually don't, but with one game on PSP, I really don't care all that much so I skip them...
