Poll: Skipping cutscenes and dialogue in games
- Thread starter chazmizta
- Start date
On my first playthrough of any game, i hav to watch them. I just must. My second time around, unless its really good, i wont. Ex. If I play something like Ninja Gaiden or something then I will skip it because ive seen it all and im not really interested enough to watch them. But if i play something like Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2 then I will watch them because their interesting and fun, plus its a great game. An exception to this rule tho, is if I play MGS4 again then, as much as I love the game, I will probably skip most of the cutscenes. They are long and confusing at times. And ive seen them all once. Ill get bored and want to play the game. 
I remember seeing my friend skip about 3 cutscenes in MGS twin snakes when I lent it to him, and I said you might as well not play it if you are gunna skip the bloody cutscenes.
it;s also ridiculously annoying when you've beaten a game and all you wanna do is just replay the campaign and it wont let you skip the cut scenes you've already seen.
Yes, I know what you mean. It's happened many times to me, most notably with Resident Evil and Metal Gear. I loaded from a previous save and played through whole sections again 'coz I missed cutscenes.chazmizta said:i totally agree with uJayCro said:

Yeah I agree with you as well. We should at least be given the option to skip.ZombieFace said:
I skipped every cutscene in Bio-Shock except the intro and possibly the second. This was my first time through as well.
EDIT: I caved, no mods helped.

The only cut scenes i didn,t skip on KOTOR were the ones that had HK-47 speaking in them. Some really funny quotes.
Exactly I mean have ALL the cut scenes you want but at least give teh OPTION to skip. then everyone is happy.JayCro said:
Same for me, I love me some Mass Effect cutscenes, likeLil_Hank93 said:On my first playthrough of any game, i hav to watch them. I just must. My second time around, unless its really good, i wont.

on Feros when Fai Dan shoots himself, or when Saren does the same.
You can always appreciate a game like that. :]orannis62 said:Same for me, I love me some Mass Effect cutscenes, likeLil_Hank93 said:On my first playthrough of any game, i hav to watch them.

But sadly Ive never played mass effect. :[
The only time i've recently skipped a cutscene was in GTA IV (and that was because I was going for the achievement where you beat the game in 30 hours) I'll probably watch them though in my 3rd playthrough
