you know, it really bugs me when I go to TRY and do something, but then it goes into this unscipable cutscene for 20 minutes. Is anyone else annoyed by this, or is it just me?

Most games let you skip cutscenes so this doesn't happen often to me. What game are you talking about?
Wrench everything while ignoring the person talking, fun times!fluffylandmine post=9.74653.841498 said:
Well I meant letting people listen or not. There's no crap to go through to escape it, just walk away. It also helps immersion if you're not interrupted by a flash then some scene where you have no control over it aside from an arbitrary skip button, but you have the feeling it's you being talked at instead of a person with no backround being talked at(halo).
Sorry, couldn't resist the childish urge: I don't ignore the cutscenes in Half life, but a lot of things do get wrenched.
I think cutscenes only belong in non-FPS games. FPS games should use the Half-Life/System Shock 2 style of storytelling. It helps with immersion.
My opinion.

I don't know, as long as cutscenes are pretty short I don't really have a problem with them. They worked fine in Doom 3, for instance; just a quick bit of exposition, and then you're right back in the action. I agree that the Half-Life system is pretty great.
No cut-scenes are fine for First Person games, where you can just have scripted events like Half-Life. But Assassins Creed tried something simular, and it really turned me off the story, though think the fact I didn't give a toss about Anty or whoever he was had something to do with it. Had two emotions, he was either pissed off or about at emotional as a robot, but no where near as awesome.
