Unskippable cutscenes

[vortex]

Come on guys, this game came out in what, 2012? 2013? Either way, we should be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past the era of unskippable cutscenes right now. Haven't you learned? No one likes these.

The manual tells you that you can skip CERTAIN scenes with backspace - meaning the ones which aren't relevant to the plot. So not many. :]

Without the cut scenes the game wouldn't be nearly as good as it is! I like it the way it is.

So watch them, then.

Just don't force everyone else to.

You're right but LA Noire isn't the only game that does this. Some are indeed relevant to the plot as well.

This game came out in 2011. Also, if you want to skip the cutscenes then what are you playing the game for? The gunplay? The driving mechanics?

For the ability to leave the game for a while and come back later and not have to sit through stuff I've seen already.

You've played the game for two hours. I'm not sure how you would've seen the cutscenes already, unless you're replaying the beginning of the game.

Quit before watching the cutscene?

Twice during cases, I had to leave just after the cutscene finished. Loading the game back up meant watching it again.

Apparently I have to be extra careful about when I choose to stop playing, just to ensure I don't have to sit through something I've seen already.

I wasn't trying to tell you how to play and I'm not going to pretend that's an ideal solution... but that's all I can offer really.

Having said all this: I'm all for unskippable cutscenes but I don't think many games will have them in the future and it'll be something you'll just have to put up with. I'm sorry if my comment appeared demeaning earlier on.

This exactly... It's not GTA, the cutscenes are part of the game for a reason. Would you watch a movie with scenes cut from the middle?

If I've seen it before, maybe I'd want to skip some parts?
