If I wanna just play a game I'll play something MP, not SP, so no don't skip unless the game has shit checkpoints or something.
Can we get visible votes? I need to know who my "always skip" squad is.
I don't remember the last time I watched a skippable cutscene. I've skipped basically every cinematic in every game I've played since after Final Fantasy IX, which means there weren't many games I actually watched cutscenes for lol.
I guess I'll watch openings sometimes though. I'm glad I've seen Dark Souls and Hyper Light Drifter and Armored Core For Answer openings but I can't really get myself to care about the story in any game enough to watch. Playing FFXIV while skipping every story sequence was fun.

Here's a template to help - "Dear Boss, Partner, Children, Friend (delete as applicable), I can't spend any time with you today because I have to watch some cut-scenes"
Skip!

Skip!!!
Dang it!!! I keep holding down the square button but I can't skip!
Not on a first playthrough, if I play the game again and I enjoyed the cutscenes I would watch it again, if not it's a skip.
A game can have the worst story in the world and I will still watch all of it's awful and boring cutscenes
only after viewing them once. . . unless they're uber cool.
Musou games are definitely watch once affairs. They even have an auto-skip option for you!
I hate how some PC games have super awfully compressed video cutscenes to save space but on PS4 they highest quality reading off the blu-ray (likely).

I can't imagine wanting to continue playing a game if I feel the need to start skipping cutscenes I've never seen before.
OP skipped it
Never skip, and having the skip prompt always present is the work of the shareholders & focus groups!
What the hell are you talking about?
So singleplayer games aren't games?
I should have done that but instead I ended up dropping the game. I really don't know what they were thinking with that, Persona games keep getting more and more filler and it's annoying.
If I'm just wanting to play a game I'll do it in a game mode that doesn't usually have stuff like cutscenes or a story/characters to follow, like a MP mode.
How the fuck did you read it as SP games aren't games?
No, I never do this on a playthrough. Kinda defeats the point of playing a narrative game. The only exception where I can think I wanted to skip lthe story was Far Cry 4, which I played fairly recently and I hated almost all the characters and I found it all unbearably pretentious. Ironically you can't skip those cutscenes, at least on PS4.
People replay singleplayer games all the time for the sake of the gameplay, and they all have cutscenes.
Bloodborne have ctuscenes, Resident Evil 4 have cutsceness, Devil May Cry 3 have ctuscenes.
That didn't stop them from ''wanting to play the game'', saying ''if I'm just wanting to play a game I'll just play MP games'' is just wrong.
I play RE4 all the time when I ''just want to play a game''
It's not to me, I couldn't careless about what others do. If I want to turn my brain off or just waste a few hours, I'll do it in a MP game, either PvE or PvP. If I want to replay something, I'll be replaying all of it, cutscenes and all, I very rarely replay games. If a game isn't grabbing me, I'll drop it before skipping cutscenes.
That explains it.
You are the kind of person who beat one character's campaign in Resident Evil 2 and be like ''I'm done with the game''.
You don't love singleplayer games for their gameplay and level design. You only care about the story, good for you I guess.
People like me, we replay games like Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, REmake, REmake2, RE4, Dead Space, Half-Life 2 all the time.
No, I just don't replay many games, I don't really ever stick to just 1 game for long regardless of SP or MP.
It really depends. If it's not really a story driven game, then absofuckinglutely. I couldn't skip them fast enough in Destiny 2
Resident evil was a terrible example. Playing Leon is the same gameplay as Claire.
