The problem i have is when they infodump at the start with a bunch of names ill never remember.
“In the year 1590, jahalabad of nehazarad conquered the realm of jililabab, defeating rilolobob in the grand battle of kolololooom, ushering in a new age of…” skipped.
The psychology of breaking down a soldier in basic training … beat a new recruit to a pulp, physically, mentally and emotionally until all they understand is how to use a gun and shoot things that are alive.
… And breathing
Every Fromsoft game even if you pay attention to everything you’re told.
Except Sekiro. That story is pretty straightforward.
Skipped the cut scene in Rennalas fight.
Went from a library to an ocean with a full moon. Keep forgetting to not skip every time I replay the game, so I still don’t know what happens…
:::spoiler If you really want to know… Ranni shows up, casts an illusion, and the second half of the fight is you actually fighting her, not her mom. :::
I mean, I’m here to play a video game, not watch a movie catered to 15 year old, socially stunted boys. It takes a lot of convincing for me to stick around through “Hey newbie, you have to earn our leader’s trust by securing 6 mcguffins and a candy bar before they’ll meet you.”
Bold words coming from a 15-year-old. But hey, to each their own
To be clear, you’re accusing me of being 15? That genuinely gave me a hit of nostalgia. Could you poorly censor some slurs while you’re at it?
But how will you ever find out that switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading?!
And you run faster with a knife!
I never understand this mentality, like why even play a game if you’re too impatient to even engage with the content.
The action is content. It’s just people engaging in the content they want to
This fine citizen won’t skip the setup in the video either. It’s integral to their enjoyment that one knows exactly how the step sister got stuck in the appliance! I salute you.
Kids. They don’t have the attention span. I watch my niece play games, and she never pays attention to cutscenes and never spends her skill points.
Shooting demons is the content. I do not want to listen to the scientist tell me why they opened portals to hell. I do not care why they opened portals to hell. I just want to shoot demons.
in doom shooting demons is the content. in chrono trigger the content is in the story
i mean, i’ll skip through the voice acting sometimes but i won’t just skip the dialog.
Gonna kill his eardrums if he’s not wearing the proper ppe under that helmet
It’s fun when FFXIV has dungeons that wrap so tightly into the story, leading many of these players to realize they shouldn’t have been skipping so many cutscenes.
Sultry voice: “Welcome to the final days of Amaurot.”
“…shit, wait, how did we get here?? Why is everything on fire”
Me with p much every Fire Emblem game
No Russian
Don’t think I’ve ever done in the first play through but not uncommon after that.

This is why I love roguelites. I don’t need a story to tell me why I’m in this dungeon, just give me a gun and/or sword.

The exception to this rule is Hades, the gameplay is great but if I could skip the gameplay to get more cutscenes I’d be tempted sometimes cuz the story is so fucking good
