Some cutscenes are pretty snappy. These cutscenes are the length of a TV episode, MINIMUM. Would you hit skip on these?

I vividly remember playing MGS4 with my friends as we were getting ready to go out. “Just after this cutscene” I said. Queue the next 40 minutes of teasing and blue balling culminating in my friend dropping to the floor and screaming “DEAR GOD JUST LET IT END!” We still had 30 mins left.

@spencergwin9454 15 дней назад

Did the "go out" plan still happen after the marathon of cut-scene?

@DS-si5cp 15 дней назад

That said, I did understand what was happening by the end of the cut-scene. I don't know how the Batman Gambits could even possibly have normally happened, but considering everything about the story is that everyone does their intended role on purpose, I guess it gets a pass?

I knew it was long but because it jumps around so much it didn’t feel it. I have learned my lesson though and never do anything that seems plot relevant in a Yakuza game without at least 30 minutes of free time ahead of me. 90 minutes if it’s the end boss. It’s mostly served me well but 5 was an absolutely ridiculous sequence of fight, cutscene(s), fight, cutscene(s) without end…

I instantly had to think about the twist enemy reveal in Xenoblade Chronicles 1, from the point where you defeat Egil to the parties stay at Colony 6. While you could argue that inbetween were a few minutes of gameplay (two encounters and a short escape sprint back to the ship), these were so obvioulsy scripted, that I think it counts to a solid 30 minutes of cutscenes

You can't make a comprehensive list of games with long, meandering cutscenes and not mention Eternal Sonata. The game truly lives up to its name. A truly bizarre, aimless JRPG where every game chapter is punctuated by roughly 20 minutes of documentary about Frederic Chopin, and the ending cutscene is over 45 minutes long.

@SolaScientia 15 дней назад

I definitely prefer shorter cutscenes. I don't need or want to watch a movie in the middle or at the end of my game. FromSoftware is pretty good about keeping them short, especially compared to these. I do recall being rather surprised at the length of the cutscene to get to Placidusax in Elden Ring. At least there was nothing monologue-ing at me during it. I do love just how many of the cutscenes in FromSoftware games are entirely because the Chosen Undead/Bearer of the Curse/Ashen One/Hunter/Tarnished/etc couldn't keep their hands to themselves.

The Xenosaga 3 one made sense only if you go in order of 1 2 3 and play the entire game including side missions as some of it is explained in game 1 why it is happening at the end of game 3. Some is in the flash backs in game 2. So if you only played 3 it will make no sense. When i wanted there to be another one back then i read they condensed 7 games into 1 for Xenosaga 3 and some story was also cut for not being important enough to keep. Said story would have made some of the 3rd game make more sense. It also helps if you do not take breaks when playing so you can keep up with and not forget the longer than normal for back then story.

A feature all games should have is a media archive, skippable cutscenes, and adjustable playback speed. That way you can skip the scenes when you replay a game or to get to the save point that's only available after the cutscene, watch the cut scene after, watch it faster, etc.

Valkari Profile had an intro that might as well have been a cutscene because you had to control the character for brief moments to run down a corridor, so no way to just let it run out by itself. It was a great game after that, though.

I haven't played any Metal Gear games after MGS2, but even that has a 45 minute cutscene (including the Codec calls) in between the Rays fight and the Solidus Snake fight. And it's pretty heavy stuff spanning Kojima's thoughts on deep state covert ops, the illusion of free will, proliferation of misinformation and AI, and the nature of existence itself.
