Should games let you skip cutscenes? Why or why not?
>>723241086Retarded pretentious devs.Maybe I don't want to watch all the cutscenes again if I already played the game. Maybe I just you know, want to play a game.
>>723241086Games are supposed to be about gameplay, not being lectured by jews
>>723241086because it's not a movie.Cotscenes should go back at being a brief reward between levels either way
>>723241086That's actually a hilarious way to punish speedtrannies, but the game seems like pretentious leftist bullshit so I also don't care about the game at all.
>finish the game>uhh actually here's a podcast at the end. you can't skip it though*press ALT+F4*game finished
>>723241728>resumes when game is launched again
>>723241808why would I need to open it again?
>>723241086>bore the player>punish them for your mistakes with more boredom
>>723241212pretentious devs are based
>>723241086>i dont skip the naughty dog cutscenes>well yeah thats most of those gameslol
>>723241086This is an absolutely stupid idea and plain bad game design. It's not even funny.
These niggers have never and will never make a good game because
>>723241086>want to play a game>instead forced to watch mini-films inbetween gameplay segments>created by talentless hacks who would never make it in film/TV>no eye for direction despite limitless possibilities in animation>bad lighting, bad acting, bad camera work>no flair, no artistry, nothing interesting whatsoever>try to skip them>get punishedCutscenes, more like Cut those scenes, amirite
>>723243719The whole "game" is just streamerbait, it's not a real game, it's a "haha so funny he walks funny he's dopey" thing that people can play on twitch to ramble about unrelated things or make loud reaction noises to then get subscriptionsThus the goal for the dev is not to make a fun or engaging game, but to make an outlandish and distinctive background for other people to talk over and react to. This sort of "HAHA YOU DID A THING, WELL NOW THIS OTHER THING WILL HAPPEN!!" shit is perfectly in line with that

As per usual, man, myth, legend John Carmack already answered this question a long time ago.
>>723241086game that is made to be annoying has an annoying feature, wowbut still, guess he's really proud of all those haha silly interactions
>>723244619Hes programmer and hasn't directed a good game in like 20 years. His last decent game was fucking wolfenstein for phones, as in before smartphones.
>>723241086There's a reason it didn't sell
>>723241212>Unlock secret extra content on 2nd playthrough>Get angry about it
>>723244753And he is still responsible for one of the best games of all time, therefor making his opinion much more valuable than the average programmer.
>>723241086Just figure out which cinematic is the shortest and only let that one play.
>>723241086>Add ability to skip cutscenes>Punish players from skipping cutscenesIs this really the most pretentious game ever made
I want to throw a rock at the faggot who made this decision.
>>723244848Which game? Please doom say that dogshit called doom
Skipping is fine, but I wish more games allowed you to skip by the line instead of just all or nothing.
>>723245465this, much prefer fortnite
>>723241086>man who makes meme games including QWOP and Getting Over It includes a joke feature in his newest meme gameretarded thread
>>723244543>ugly face>ugly personalityThis pattern is too noticable
>>723244848carmack is one of the best software engineers of all time, he is a technical genius that doesn't make him uniquely qualified to speak about every aspect of a video game, especially the parts on which he has basically no input (art, modeling, animation, music, writing, etc.)he wasn't running a one-man show at iD
>>723241086Picture is based.Yes, games should let you skip cutscenes. They are games first, not movies. That said anyone who skips a cutscene forfeits the right to complain about pacing or story.
>>723244619yeah that made sense in 1992 when the most complex story driven game was dnd gold box text adventures.however, it isn't 1992 anymore. people with some talent at writing got involved.
>>723246425>people with some talent at writing got involved.lmao
>>723246425Yeah, and turned games into movie shit.
>>723246484it's always a treat when your position requires you to be retarded in order for it to make sense.>>723246697some did, sure. is that not allowed?
Legitimately the only good game this guy made was QWOP.
>>723241086God bennet faggy is such a pretentious twat
>>723241086>cirque du soleilI refuse to believe people actually enjoy that shit, there's always a huge marketing around it for seemingly no reason
>>723241086Maybe people will learn to stop giving money to this pretentious faggot already so he can go the way of the classic Philly Fishie
