Skipping cutscenes.

[Kvaal]

Is there a way to do it that's hidden? or some kind fix? I'm an hour into this, and I've done nothing but sit through this garbage.

Go get a NG+ save from Nexus and quit complaining. NG+ allows you to ski cutscenes.

I dont mind the cutscenes for main story-related missions, they are fine, but the conversations for sidequests is just awful. That is something I want to skip but cant.
Its like 2 camera-shots with 2 characters just standing there face to face & delivering their lines with zero emotions and (atleast in english) in an extremely wooden, borderline Bethesda-convos that got outdated 15 years ago. Just terrible 3/10-territory on those. And that is the kind of stuff you sit through most of the time while proper cutscenes for main missions are just here & there

+1. I agree with the OP. I totally don't care about stories in every games if I can't be interested in. That's so boring to watch unskippable cutscenes. Combat in this game is fun thought.

Few thoughts:
a. Yes it is valid to want to skip cutscenes, and in most modern games they are usually skippable. While we (the collective "we" as gamers) all play games for different reasons and different ways, there is no wrong way to have fun. If you OP have fun pressing buttons and killing countless dudes w/o attention to story. Great, I'm happy you are enjoying yourself. Conversely, if people love the story, watch every cutscene and dig the setting AND kill endless dudes, great, we are all winning here.
OP should not be criticized for asking how to have fun his/her way. Conversely if you disagree about that way, keep it to yourself. You like what you like, I like what I like, we can all like a thing and have that be different and its ok.

b. Games are not mechanics / button pressing nor are games only story, narrative. Its usually a mix of both because, in most games (even competitive multiplayer ones, though there are exceptions) The STORY GIVES YOU REASON FOR YOUR ACTIONS. Had to type that in all caps. CSGO has context, and story, its not super deep but there are terrorists and counter-terrorists. DOTA2, while a moba, has character bios, some times their youtube channel comes out with short videos. Same with League of Legends.

This game is explicitly not "samurai combat simulator" it is (as the title indicates) about a specific person, Jin Sakai, making choices and actions, IN CONTEXT OF FEUDAL JAPAN. Believe it or not, historically, Mongols did try to invade Japan. WEIRD it has a historical context and connection in some way to actual Japan - wow now way?!

- That is why this way characters behave, talk, act, think seem "stereotypical" this genre literally defined the stereotype by its historical context.

c. Also if you play this game without Japanese spoken dialog and subtitles you are infact a communist.

Why are the people on the first page pretending that if someone wants to be able to skip cutscenes, then you have no interest in the story? Have you idiots actually played the game? Because after you finish every quest, there's a pretty lengthy lock-in where you do literally nothing but stand there while the quest title fades out and the horse headbutts you. That is not a story element, and it stops being cool after the fifth time. There's no valid reason why that shouldn't be skippable.

Theres a simple solution type ctrl + alt + del, click on shutdown computer, I think thats your best option. Try holding down the power button during a cut-scene I think it also solves your problem. Best case scenario you can always try the uninstall method, or walk away science technique.

It's a narrative driven single player game. What's the rush? There is no competition or endgame to grind towards. Enjoy the ride.

the ride:
Peasant: my lord, mongols bad, i mark them on your map, go unalive them
Jin: ok, I'll see what I can do
Peasant: thank you my lord

multiply this by 50 and you got the narrative you get from quests in GoT

Some people have already played the game on PlayStation. I wanted to do my new game plus playthrough o here since it just came out, but, as much as I love the story, sitting through all the cutscenes again on a new save while trying to get to new game plus is just painful when you already know everything that’s happening. It’s a port of a game that’s almost 4 years old. The fact that you can’t skip the cutscenes in the steam port is just outright lazy tbh. There’s no reason that feature couldn’t have been extended into the base game, rather than keeping it exclusively for new game plus.

Yeah. What kind of an idiot wants to play games lol.

They don't want you to skip cutscenes or you will realise how repetitive the game is

[⛧jakey⛧]

I played through the main game on PS4 years ago, I already know the story.
A bit annoying to be forced to sit through cutscenes again. First time playing the DLC and I still completely ignored all the cutscenes in it too because I don't care. Beat it and idk anything about the story of the DLC, do I care?

Apparently a story driven narrative game yet I've completely ignored all of it just to enjoy the combat & explore the open world. The characters are all bland, absolutely no diversity. Nothing engaging or interesting to me about the story. An option to not skip cutscenes in 2024 is baffling.
I dislike Jin as a main character, absolutely no personality, why is there no character creator instead?
LAME.

nice try clown farmer

I completed the game already on ps4 and going through again now I really wish you could skip the cutscenes and dialogue. Even rescuing hostages includes unnecessary lines like, "I'm going to save you," right before they're saved.

Aside from being set in Japan, what other parallels are there to the films of Kurosawa?

There isn't any. Just the black and white mode the developers unnecessarily called "Kurosawa mode"
