Unskippable: Unskippable 100: A Guide to Cinematics

[Irridium]

Wow. Only now do I realize how insanely stupid some cut-scenes are.

"You came by helicopter, didn't you?"

YOU SAW HIM JUMP OUT OF THE HELICOPTER!!

Unskippable 100: A Guide to Cinematics

Graham and Paul use the knowledge they've gained from Unskippable for "good".

Watch Video

My God, that was great. You guys should do this again sometimes (infrequently), offering more "help."

Is it wrong that I now want to make a cutscene that does all of the things listed here?

 

[capacollo]

That was quite funny. Don't know if I would be honoured or scared to have one of my games featured in UnSkippable ...

 

[pumpkinetics]

Aww man. I expect something special for episode #100, and what do I get? A clip show!

 

[Jaebird]

Such a great video to use for your 100th episode. I was in stitches when I heard "Not-Europe."

 

[Jim Grim]

Ok, we start with a shot of a crow. We then zoom in on the back of the crows head and enter a first person perspective. A giant moon then falls and crushes the crow, leaving the crow unharmed somehow. The crow then catches a taxi to a non-destript country in Noteurope. The taxi driver narrates while text scrolls down the screen, telling of the long, boring political history of the country, with breaks so that the crow can ask vapid questions. And then the game starts.

 

[Falseprophet]

Pure awesome. Here's to a hundred more!

Wow...100 episodes already.

Unskippable joined the escapist and kicked off a golden age of videos for the site. There Will Be Brawl, Doomsday Arcade, Unforgotten Realms, Unskippable. Good times for sure.

I may not be a fan of much of the video content on the site anymore, but anything by LRR is worthwhile in my book. Unskippable merely launched LRR's video takeover of the escapist.

Thank you for all the amazing content guys. Here's to another 100 episodes.

now this is one of my favorite episodes, found it completely hilarious. And i don't think it's actually possible to run out of game trailers and intros. seriously though, an amazing episodes and just wanted to mention it.

 

[Fightgarr]

I would've loved to have sat in on the writing process for this one. Very funny stuff.

On a side note: did the 100 episodes include the Lost Planet pilot or did they start with Eternal Sonata?

 

[Mydnyght]

100 episodes...100 episodes of "WTF?" cutscenes. How do you guys put up with it?

And yes, I agree with you about Zoids Assault. All that silent text... The still pictures (except for that snow)... And whoever voiced that woman (Alexys van Clyft? I'll be damned that I can remember that...) most likely did not want to. (If that was Michelle Ruff, I'll be GOD-FUCKING-DAMNED; no one deserves to go through such a shit-ass cutscene, let alone her!)

 

[ryo02]

wait ... when did Russel die? I dont remember that!

 

[demoap]

Yes "Zoids Assault" was really a bad cutscene...

 

[AnneSQF]

NO! What have you done! I thought you had learned from failures of the past! The internet doesn't get sarcasm. We are doooooooomed!

 

[Jandau]

Best

Unskippable

EVER!

 

[JonnWood]

So on the point about Parrot Exposition, you show MGS clips.

I'm not sure that counts as "low-hanging fruit".

 

[Space Jawa]

On the bright side, if developers didn't have an obsession with bad, poorly made and poorly thought out cut scenes, we wouldn't have Unskippable now, would we?

 

[Zagzag]

It's strange! None of my favourite cutscenes are anything like that! I wonder why I like them.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Very nice. Love the tongue-in-cheek humor of the whole thing.

Anyway congrats on you're 100th episode. I think I'll go back and watch a few of my favorites.

 

[Lambi]

Zoids was a really boring cutscene/history textbook.

I'm surprised you didn't mention having characters falling long distances, unless that Eternal \Sonata bit counted.

What do you mean they didn't mention? There were a few clips after the bit from Eternal Sonata showing characters falling down a long distance.

OT: Loved this episode. And I always love seeing Russel. :3
