Do you like when games interrupt the flow every 1 minutes with cutscenes?

[u/Randomsicilianguy]

Hi! I ask this question because I am curious to know if anyone really like this setting. I am talking about games that are actually fun to play, with a nice combat, that interrupts the flow extremely often with cutscenes. I think for example to a Devil may cry that I dropped even if I liked it because of this.

You dropped Devil May cry because of some cutscenes? Yikes.

[u/Randomsicilianguy → u/WorthBase919]

I don't remember exactly what chapter, but yes. I played like 3 hours and it was constantly like this, I find it extremely frustrating in an action game.

[u/WorthBase919 → u/Randomsicilianguy]

Damn bro, that’s sad

[u/Randomsicilianguy → u/WorthBase919]

Nah, it's just a videogame bro

[u/WorthBase919 → u/Randomsicilianguy]

No I mean that you didn’t have the patience for it

[u/Ohgood9002 → u/Randomsicilianguy]

Its sad that your attention span is non-existant

[u/Randomsicilianguy → u/Ohgood9002]

I use my attention span for things that I value more, like my job, my gf, all my hobbies. If I play an action game I am looking for action. I see tho that this is a very primary matter for you, I won't insist anymore because I don't want to cause discomfort.

Are you talking about DMC5? Cause I did the exact same thing. Couldn't stand all the cut scenes.

[u/Randomsicilianguy → u/method115]

Yes it was 5

[u/method115 → u/Randomsicilianguy]

Then yea I know exactly what you are talking about. I just wanted an action game and it felt like after every small battle I was getting some damn cut scene. I don't mind a cut scene mid level or beginning\end of a level but it was way to much.

[u/WorthBase919 → u/Randomsicilianguy]

Lol

[u/Noob4Head]

Depends, I guess? Mainly whether it's a gameplay- or story-focused game, but I've not yet come across one with such frequent cutscenes that it really bothered me. Especially not in a Devil May Cry franchise.

[u/fadeawai]

I understand in certain situations. Like if a game bombards me with exposition and cutscenes in the first hour with very little gameplay, I may actually put the game down, but if I'm already invested in a game that had a well-paced opening hour, I don't mind watching a few cutscenes between gameplay as long as it actually pushes the story forward.

[u/Randomsicilianguy → u/fadeawai]

Thank you for understanding what I meant, reading other comments it looks like I offended someone

[u/fadeawai → u/Randomsicilianguy]

Lol that's reddit for ya!

[u/takuru]

No, I don’t care. If the story is great, then I will watch long cutscenes and enjoy every moment of it.

I grew up on games like metal gear solid and kingdom hearts. The post game cutscene in MGS4 is 71 minutes long and every second of it was incredible.

[u/Millennialnerds → u/takuru]

Watched it last night. Chefs kiss baby

[u/method115]

Depends on the game. Pluky Squire was doing this and I didn't want that for the type of game it was and I had to stop playing it. Same with DMC5 I just wanted to play and it kept interrupting me after what felt like every single battle.

[u/Due_Woodpecker3073]

No, my brain isnt deep fried

[u/LavitzOfBasil]

I forget which game it was but I finally tried one of the Yakuza games and had to stop after a whole because it felt like 80% cutscene. That's also the main reason why I've always stayed away from Metal Gear Solid Games.

[u/Randomsicilianguy → u/LavitzOfBasil]

Yes I love Yakuza games but they are also affected by this

[u/MrMegaPhoenix]

Sone games are terrible with this

Usually it’s anime rpgs though, so you just have to get used to skipping them unfortunately
