  Taste issue

    Not wanting multiple hour-long cut scenes in an action game is a perfectly reasonable preference.

      So it’s a taste issue.

      Yes that’s perfectly reasonable, hence a matter of taste.

      I acknowledge all those things but I like them. I hope everyone is able to find games they love according to their own subjective tastes.

  Have you tried the death stranding series? I just finished 2 yesterday. It was fantastic. In both, you can tailor your experience - skip cut scenes, drop difficulty to ‘story’ for frustrating fights, etc. But those games tell a story in a way only video games can. And all the little flourishes that emotionally connect you to your character, like rocking the controller to sooth the baby sealed in your chest pod, are so charming and affecting.

  Skill issue

    More like a patience issue.

    I just don’t have the time to invest in something that I don’t find fun for the sake of it getting fun later.

      I 100% agree especially now my time is so limited and I have so many amazing experiences to choose from, but the thing is some of us are enthralled by these games from start to end.

      There’s no one else around who actually makes games like this.

      If you don’t like the long cinematics just skip them.

        But I play games to enjoy the story, the art of game making is about telling a story in an interactive way.

        Oh, you think that solves the problem? Go play MGS4 or Death Stranding. Skip every cutscene, then come back and tell me what happened in the story.

  Kojima originally wanted to be a filmmaker. When he couldn’t break into the industry, he switched over to making video games.
