You know every single player is going to be jamming the A button, pressing start, completely uninterested in what ham-fisted bit of emotion you're trying to shove in.
Now to preface, I'm not usually an impatient person, I really really like story-based games but there's some games where a cutscene matters and some where a cutscene just doesn't, and what I've realised is, its always the useless cutscenes that can't be skipped.
It's like they caught so many people skipping during play testing that they rushed in to stop people doing it, holding you down going NO, NO PLEASE LOOK WHAT I DID, ITS GOOD PLEASE
Why did I have to watch this? Turn 10 are passionate about cars? Are these characters important? Is there on-foot levels now?
Why did I have to watch this? Do I get to play as a little scouse girl against PSG? That would be absolutely amazing, oh wait I don't? Then let me play the friggin' game
What about when there is a story but its so laughably bad, surely they wouldn-
Oh
Why do it? You know attitudes will always vary from complete apathy to searing disinterest due to 2 minutes of wasted of time (like me),
At most the only justified reason seems to be masking loading times, but as far as I'm aware they don't apply at all to the games above, it took me more time to post this than the cutscenes above and for me it's time well spent venting
