Discuss about cutscenes!
This should probably be on a Extra Credits episode , but, anyway.
Cutscenes now are just used to put in the game a cheap story, to be useless and long, and to be just something that you really don't care for.
That's what's happening to most games, where's the time when cutscenes were a motive to celebrate! When they were deserved! Not given away!
For example:
I've been playing Deus Ex : Human Revolution , and cutscenes were poured in good measure to separate gameplay sections and to make the story better, good, but what really shined to me, what took me back to the old gaming days, was when, in the second boss fight, i just couldn't do it, i tried and tried, I failed and failed, change tactics a lot, but when i finally got through it, just when the last hit was given, a cutscene began, WHAT A RELIEF! OMG! Such satisfaction! I really was glad that that cutscene appeard, I deserved it, It was like the game said "THERE TAKE IT, VICTORY IS YOURS!" .
What happened to those days!!?
