How can there be no Pause?

[Morchaint]

In what universe do people live where they can play a game with twenty or thirty minutes of cut scenes and interactive dialog in a row without a pause button? Coupled with a stingy save system that forces you to completely restart from a save that can be twenty or thirty minutes old just because the phone rang? Seriously?

I get you don't want people pausing when the timer is going to pick a dialog option, but why can't there be a simple pause during the rest of the time when someone is speaking or during a cut scene?

Such a simple omission that makes the game unplayable for people who are not locked in a dungeon while playing.

I 100% agree with OP, just making it a feature doesn't mean you HAVE to pause every cutscene. It wouldn't take anything out of the game but IF the phone rings or someone knocks on the door you wouldn't miss half the cutscene and dialogue in such a story-driven game where cutscenes are essential..

lol ..if u dont have time to play games, then dont play games omg.. learn how to manage your time ..its about priorities

[Peliman]

No it has nothing to do with priorities. You do know some of us players are old enough to be grandfathers and grandmothers? In real world normal people "are not locked in a dungeon while playing". It is simple as that...If there is/was pause why it is something you don't want someone to have? @Noeat you don't need to use it like never?

Yes, undoubtedly, inability to enter game menu from dialogues and cutscenes is a stupid and inexcusable bad game design feature.

Game CAN BE PAUSED anytime, however, using timescale variable workaround.

I use F7 to pause game, F8 for normal and F9 for 3x accelerated time.

Timescale works in cutscenes too.

The third one is a good substitute for fast travel - I'm hitting F9 while holding auto-ride to save time (it can only be safely used on horse-magnet roads, away from cliffs).

Same var can be used to make slow-mo and stuff like that.

Bind f7 t_scale 0
Bind f8 t_scale 1
Bind f9 t_scale 3

Just rewatch the cutscenes on youtube.

And you are complaining about the intro parts of the game? A one time cutscene that is necessary for the BEGINNING of the game?

If you can't have 30 minutes to play a section of the game, then why bother playing large scale games in the first place?

People have time to invest in 20 minute youtube videos WITHOUT pausing it every minute, perhaps a change in time management and lifestyle changes is needed so people stop taking their life's frustration out in video games, which you should know is designed to be a time sink in the first place.

People play video games to escape from their realities in some cases you know.

The better question to ponder here, is "in what universe is this worth anyone's time and effort, or even consideration, to get outraged over?" I mean, if one has such time constraints on them, that this is an issue, where do you even find just the time to make an outrage post about it?? #1stworldproblems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seriously this. All the person did was ask for pause during cutscenes. Do all games I play offer it, no, is it OMFG UNHEARD OF, no. WTF?!?!?

This comment and the this nercro thread in general is absurd. Like.. If you want a pause button for the game, wtf kind of jerk thinks that is a bad idea? Do you think pausing a YouTube video or a sexy thing I cannot link here would be bad? Your mommy walks in while you wank... No pause.. Oops.. Priorities..

I have never heard of a cutscene pause, but it is a great idea.

Then you don't play enough games. Loads of old and modern games have pause whenever you want.
