Restart time is way too long, makes the game boring

[OriginalGregory]

I'm gonna be very honest and say I think the challenges are ♥♥♥♥.
I do them for a challenge but have no fun doing them and entirely do them for the achievements. What makes it even worse is how long it takes to restart. Not only do I have to wait for the intro each time I press start but if you've just died you have to wait for that too. On challenges where you need a good start there's so much time wasted restarting repeatedly and it honestly just bad design.

I think you have skill issue syndrome

If you don't have fun, don't play.

Then just don't die?

I agree, 99% of the challenges are just plain unfun, the story is so much better. Not so offended by the restart, but it could be faster, to be sure.

Oh, you're so close to having a very useful insight!

Hint: If you're playing a video game and it's just feeling like a chore, is it really being worth your time and energy? Will the achievement pop up at the end really be worth all the hassle?

If OP still wants to persist I'd recommend just finishing the challenge even if you have a bad start. Sometimes a bad start means you can't recover but not always. You'd be surprised.

Reading through this I just don't get the reactions here.

All they asked for were skip-able cutscenes. And I tend to agree. Making some things skip-able and others not had me scratching my head as well.

For those not willing to loose their time through entire sequences. I suggest to watch your health closely and when you are about to die, just return to the menu, then return to the game. This way I had no loading time.

I have no SSD, and the die and retry made me waste so much time on loading and if you add non skippable sequence, I was spending half of my time waiting to play, which was pretty annoying.

I agree, and it's even more jarring in the arenas where you have shorter matches and faster-paced gameplay. Having to go through 20-30 seconds of unskippable animations and unresponsive menus really takes the fun out of having to retry a challenge when you're doing it over and over again.
