Every Cutscene in Every Video Game Should Be 100% Skippable?

Yes , it helps with replayability

 

[ThatOneLum]

Personally my ideal would be both pausable and skipable.

Like, sometimes I wanna skip a cutscene, but sometimes I just have shit to do and need to pause it for a second to go take a piss or w/e.

It's great if hitting start pauses it and you have to hit a secondary button to skip it.

Some with choices in them can’t %100 skippable, but I think having skip otherwise is the norm now.

I choo choo choose

Two things:
1. Not to vote because you wrote it like such a douchenozzle
2. To press pause.

As long I can pause and skip

I mostly skip cutscenes if this is where my second+ playthrough.

Of course. Also they should be skippable, isn't like if we are on a cinema to have to watch everything without pause.

Well you aren't on cinema you're playing a videogame

Tell it to the devs of most modern AAA games

Yeah I refuse to hit any button on this notion, so I'll just simply say, yes all cutscenes should be skippable even a for a first time through.

I'm a little bit older than you I guess, so I didn't grow up with Goosebumps, but seeing
your avatar really just gave me a strong craving for some Ecto-Cooler

Haha! it's all good, I appreciate the shoutout regardless.

I do remember The Real Ghostbusters animated show back in the 90's however. good stuff, I really like the ambient music they used for the episodes too, really enhances the nostalgia for me.

 

[CraigJarrett]

Absolutely. I can understand that the developers put a lot of effort but skipping should always be an option.

Cutscenes should be skippable for everyone except @Rex34. He should have to watch them like this...

In special to Hideo Kojima

Why stop at skipping cutscenes?
Gameplay should also be skippable! [hold pause to skip gameplay] needs to be a thing!

I agree.

Yes, but not outright.

You should still sit through them the first time, then they should get sent to an "archive" where they can be replayed outside of the main game, never to bother you again.
