Pausing cutscenes

[BigBradVoodooDaddy]

It is just astounding to me that heavily story-driven games, with lengthy cutscenes that are unable to be paused are still released today in the year 2015. Sometimes the phone rings, or my dog needs to go outside. Is this really a foreign concept to you? Do you not understand that every single other form of home media on the planet is able to be paused at will?

Update your game and put a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pause function on the cutscenes. This will not skip the scene, it will simply stop it temporarily so i can go take a ♥♥♥♥.

But only in fullscreen mode, right? I seem to remember borderless windowed mode kept on runnin' though...

Yeah lately i kind of wish for this too. Usually wife or kids are over at me just at some long cutscene and then i have to replay the whole damn thing again after just to hear it all.

Get your own back though by interrupting their favourite tv show.

As for OP i would just let it go to my answering service, thats why it exists anyway and the dog can wait a few minutes. Its a shame you cant just give it a empty plastic bottle to do its business.

Just wait for a dialogue option, then it will paused until you choose your answer
