Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 16 hours agoFeel like that used to be more common for games to have a “Movie/Cinematics” option in the “Extras” menus, treating cutscenes like unlockables, where you could go back and rewatch everything.
Really disappointing that more games don’t do this. It’s not like it’s a hard thing to add to a game code wise. It’s just a menu to the mp4 files with a “yes/no” check again the save file for if the scene has been unlocked or not.

It’s a sign of the times. When I was a kid the cutscenes were the reward for winning the game, or a portion of the game for those bigger games that could afford more than two cutscenes.
But for my kids cutscenes are the boring things that keep you from playing.

I mean I remember it being a thing all the way up to the OG Xbox before it started dying off.
