You caobe immersed I a cut scene you’re being forced to skip through for the 14th time. What’s the motivation of any of your enemies? The stakes are so low, you’ll just be back again ad infinitum. They’d be better fleeing or negotiating.

Would be hilarious if after a few attempts you would have different dialogue options.
One could make it work with a time loop setting, but then again you’re probably right that it would kill the story except if maybe the main character would grow more and more frustrated, skipping the cut scenes as a part of the story itself.

I’m sure someone did that in a game already. Feel like we’ve moved away from the 4th wall breaking with modern (at least triple A) games sadly, they take themselves too seriously. 'Member when sonic used to tap his foot if you put your controller down for a snack?
