Should You Skip ALL Game Cutscenes?? 

hahahaha

Damn.

Connor's kids: Dad! Let me tell you what we did in school today! Connor: WHERE'S THE X BUTTON TO SKIP THIS CUTSCENE?!

Better strap connor to a chair and forced him to play a visual novel.

Who else watches uni lectures at 2x speed?

AMEN

True, and if you got lost because of it then allow me to send him/her to Jesus!

Fair

AGREED

Also, streamers who use cutscenes as time to interact with chat instead of paying attention.

That's funny how you mention Yakuza, seeing how ProZD is Ichiban's bro best friend (I forgot his name) in the dub.

Preach

@@galaxy_kitten95 Mitsu?

Totally not me playing through Yakuza Like a dragon that way.

He's lazy

He's done a skit based on exactly this where it's just him skipping cutscenes and playing the game I think it was a card game Here it is : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GkpgP8ovFZQ.html

so satisfying and so deserved

I mean skipping cutscenes makes perfect sense if you're there to play a game, not watch a story

@@joedorben3504 the game is supposed to be an interactive story unless it's an online multiplayer game like cod and CSGO

Nice profile picture by the way

The first playthrough: You're new and just read the text and understand the story at face value The second playthrough: You read the text and have a good understanding of the foreshadowing and odd comments by the characters that predict something Once you've gone through that, only then will the community and I allow you to skip the the cutscenes!

I've played New Vegas for 795 hours over dozens of characters and I still avoid skipping dialogue.

I skip all cutscenes too because I just want fun gameplay loop, like borderlands 3 I’m playing through I don’t care about the story at all, I just want cool loot and to see numbers get bigger. I’m like that in all single player games, if you don’t catch me within the first hour with your gameplay I’m done and will refund it.

@@WilliamLucian Another monke brain.

@@manueljaramillo2520 Yeah I generally don't play single player games if I can help it, I generally only play things like csgo.

That skit was one of my favorites lol

Connor moment

Sometimes when the cutscenes are really good, it's welcoming to see them again whether it'd be the dialogue or music ques or transition to gameplay or all three. Odin Sphere: Leithrasir on new game plus, rewatching them with a more open mind about how the story unraveled, puts things into perspective and pieces of the puzzle are somewhat solved.

Yeah, what's wrong with skipping them to get to the gameplay? Gameplay is the crux of a video game, unless you're buying a game with the understanding that you're getting an interactive story simulator rather than a game, there shouldn't be any issue skipping the story

The difference is you read a VN specifically for the story. When you play a game sometimes you just want a fun gameplay experience and I can understand not caring when you are just vibing with the gameplay

@@PurpleRupees This probably why i couldn't get into Persona 4 Arena. Even though I was fine with the regular Persona games which have heavier story. This is probably because I went in expecting a normal fighting game story (which almost nothing)

​@@revolvingworld2676 I mean the game is still there, it's still a functional fighting game.

​@PurpleRupees 100% this. For almost all games, I skip all cutscenes, even on a first playthrough. Visual novel are an exception since I play them just for the story.

The whole "Le monke XD" meme is such a massive part of his character at this point that he just plays it up for the bit. He was fine sitting through all of MGR, and I don't think he actually skipped cutscenes in Elden Ring either. Also I feel like in general he just defaults to saying he doesn't like something or that he'll hate something but usually likes it if he gives it a chance.

@@Sharkofspace As much as I like Connor, I do think he does skip the cutscenes, even in Eldenring. To me he is that guy that skips everything, then complains when he has bo idea whats happening or what he is supposed to do. Or the guy that pays attention to chat instead of playing the game. What I dont understand is why he would play games then. Go and play Smash or any other game that has no story then.

Elden Ring cutscenes are like 5 seconds to hype up the boss you're about to fight, not really the same thing.

Thank god as a JRPG enjoyer i thought i was the only one that gets supremely annoyed whenever Connor starts talking about how video game stories are shit

@@DrackenSlayer I don't think you're in the minority on that. Anyone with the average IQ above room temperature would agree. If you're going out of your way to avoid the story you have no room to judge the story. It's almost as if you watch the Lord of the rings and you drop all the movies after the first 30 minutes of fellowship of the ring. Then you go on a tyrant about how the entire trilogy sucks I think everyone has the god-given right to slap you into next week.

That sounds like something Yoko Taro would do i'll be honest XD like how ignoring/skipping the cutscenes represents the character having amnesia/memory lapses which affects their abilities.

I just wouldn’t play the game if that were the case. I’m sure Connor feels the same.

The skipping cutscenes part is fine if either the story isn't interesting or the gameplay is your only priority for you and anything else makes the game a disaster, but you have to be either braindead or a Metahuman to be able to watch a TV show or movie at increased speed, because I sure as fuck could never remember anything about it if I tried to do that. Kids, if you wanna review something, then pause frequently and take notes, maybe even compile a Google Doc if you're streaming it with permission from the rights holders. And if you're watching a RU-vid video or livestream and you find another that looks more interesting, just skip the one you're currently on and come back to it later.

Is he actually bad at QTE???? Bro i did that shit in MTR at 8 years old, was it on the hardest difficulty or something.

Same.

How the fuck? Since when is speeding up a show on tv a thing?!

@@makairidah8354 It’s the only time I’ve ever noticed it, and I was like 25 and had watched tv my whole life, so it’s not exactly common. The episode I mentioned was on IFC, which is sort of an odd channel and does things a little differently anyway, but from what I read online it happens with local channels pretty often also. I’m guessing it’s channels that don’t get the major funding.

It’d be nice if we could skip cutscenes after we already completed the game instead of forcing us to watch it over again.

@@diiii_mond Most games can do that now we're not in 2002

So in a game where you can encounter an NPC you can talk to and get more story. You’d ignore them as get to the gameplay.

Exactly, video games are another medium to tell amazing stories. Like imagine skipping all the cutscenes in red dead redemption or any of the nier games, like goddammit connor. An absolutely AWFUL and PURELY trash take

@@LORDdrPepper FR this is genuinely such a stupid hill to die on it's not even funny anymore it's just cringe

Yep, have to watch youtube stuff sped up or I completely lose focus, even if it's stuff I'm interested in, I'd love to be able to watch things at normal speed as watching things sped up hurts the watch time, but it's a choice between watch the whole video and cut down the watch time, or get distracted and click off the video.

Wtf, Idk why this is a thing that's not supposed to be normalized.

@@Fearseblack what?

@@Fearseblack there’s nothing wrong with it as long as they’re getting the information. that’s how ADHD is

has the 'game grumps' mentality of ignoring the cutscenes/instructions and just ends up butting their head against a wall until it gets frustrating.

Well tbf he is the best gamer of Trash Taste and is genuinely really good at games

@@joedorben3504 Idk man Joey beat Jump king faster than Monke did, and Garnt beat Connor at chess something he was a "pro" in at a young age, also seems to be really fucking bad at QTEs (Quick Time Events) during MTR despite it not really being a problem for someone like me and most of chat lmao. He definitely plays the most games out of all of them, but the best? nah.

@@SavantGardeEX Well to be fair, at one point conner got to the very top, but misclicked a button and had to start over. So the time may be skewed because I personally count that as conner "beating" jump king

He would totally be fine with playing Metal Slug, arcade games that have very little cutscenes. But if he's playing a BioWare or even a Telltale game, the chat would go nuts with how Connor's basically eating a full course meal in a minute at that point. And not like savouring it by eating at a normal person's pace.

Too good for this trash taste hahaha

I cannot play persona it’s so fucking boring, everyone told me to try 5 and it was not enough action, it was a walk and talk simulator and all the action bits were too short.

@@WilliamLucian Eh, maybe it's just not for u.

@@WilliamLucian If you don't like stories in video games, why are you playing a story-rich video game then?

@@SparkShadow212 Same reason I play borderlands, *gameplay* I only play Skyrim with 182 mods installed.

@@WilliamLucian So you played a story-rich game...for the gameplay? That's like eating a sandwich, but without the bread and condiments.

Why FGC pros? Because they skip the intros?

Except they don't like fighting games cuz, according to them, those games are hard.

Watching anime sped up feels like inhaling a well made dish, and never really savoring it. Really missing out the intended pacing of said media.

@@cherrygrabber7172depends on the anime.

Story is the main reason i play games especially RPGs ... Every RPGs or jrpgs usually get repetitive at some point , story/cutsence is the main reason it kept me Playing even if it's repetitive...

@@vitadude5004 You said it. I personally don’t care about Combat. If I want Combat I play a full on combat game. I play RPGs because of the Story.

@@spiele_maus same here , if i crave to combat i play full on combat game ..

加油

Thats acrually really good way to do it. Only negative might be that bosses and fights can lose some emotion because you dont know anything or miss context of whats happening in the gameplay. But sometimes when you want to play a game that has good gameplay you dont want to spend limited time on sitting on a cutscene.

Basically it became visual novel for you 😆

@@PillowHeroReact yeah and it’s weird that I liked it, because normally I don’t really like visual novels that much. And I didn’t mind the gameplay, I just wanted to progress in the story

I don't exactly mind it that much considering that most of the Persona series is it's story.

same

@@RODAROLADA I would play nore visual novels if they were voiced more often. But I understand that requires money so I can't blame them for that.

perfect solution: just read the light novel

Yeah theres other gamss that dont let you skip cutscenes at all but during your 1st playthough?...really?! 🤣

connors main things isnt videogames

@@deatheater6222 Yes I only watch real gamers I thought that was clear.

@@M7S4I5L8V2A i meant that you shouldnt skip connors videos because his main content isnt videogames
