So many unskippable cutscenes in the intro

[ExcelsiorBenevolence]

I hate these long intros in games. Like phantom pain, skyrim, and dishonored.
The crime stuff has been fun, the new knockout QTE is strong., but a bit too fast with the second one at times.

people all ways find a way to complain. Try to enjoy the story for what its worth.

I've seen people skip all the cutscenes

Well this is a narrative focused game. It's not really trying to be Skyrim.

The playable cutscenes, I mean. The time it takes to actually get to the player freedom part of the game is basically past the refund limit unless you're also skipping the cutscenes.
Devious game design.

Have you tried metaphor: refantazio

Imagine buying a story-driven videogame and complaining about cutscenes...

[ExcelsiorBenevolence]

My point isn't that it's a bad game, but the long set-up for the game means you'll be having to go through a long tutorial to get the start every time. And it's mostly just exist to explain the previous game like an interactive movie. I hope hardcore mode starts a bit later when it comes out.

i dont like it the prologue is like 3 hours and too much talking

Why would you skip them? Sure I can understand on your 2nd/3rd playthrough but skipping them the 1st time you see them is just absurd.

I don't know why people harp on players giving feedback. its a valid complaint and good feedback for the devs. Any story driven game needs ability to skip especially for games with choices/multiple endings and if you plan multiple play throughs. no matter how good a scene, eventually you may want to skip it. if you don't mind watching the scenes, why would the ability to skip affect you?

Any way to skip it?

You just hold spacebar you idgits

[Hybernian]

So, they lied?
Didn't Vavra say there are no unskippable cutscenes?

Why would you play a game like this if you are going to skip the scenes? it's stupid?!!?!!

I agree 100%. I don't mind cut scenes in general at all. What I mind are cut scenes that have mundane tasks sprinkled in between them like a 5 minute cut scene followed by a requirement to simply walk to a table and sit down only to be followed by another 5 minute cut scene. Just give me a SINGLE 10 Minute cut scene without the annoying mundane tasks in between.
