Slow walk "cutscene", Can we have an option to skip or remove them?

[Mangy]

I've only beaten the 2nd boss, but these slow walking "cutscene" is driving me crazy. can we please have an option to skip those? I can't stand it when the game demand my control where there's NOTTHING happening, camera angle changing also f- up the control too. game is awesome but I really just can't stand it :(. I'll stop playing now untill maybe we have an option to skip em. I was expecting fast fight after another fight, not this slow walk thingy... I dont meant to be threatening but I might refund just because of this :(

You can make him autowalk, don't know the controlls for PC, but for PS4, it's "X", so with an XBox360-Controller, it should be "A".

But yeah, I sign this.
It's so obvious that these walks are there to stretch the gametime, cause this game is nothing but killing bosses, like a better "Titan Souls".
These walks are like a very VERY long loading-time. ^^"

If you press A/X (mouse click?) once on the pad you'll walk automatically to the next fight! Means you can have a well deserved break from the chaos and not have to worry about anything but killing the next boss.

Well the devs also want to tell you about the bosses, know who they are, what they have done.

And yeah you can just auto walk them, listen to the story and relax before the next boss.

Also once you've beaten the game, you unlock the speedrun mode. I would guess there's no walk in it.

Yeah, nice that the devs want, that others watch these scenes... but it should be skipable and the player should be able to decide, if they wanna watch 5 minutes of walking between fights or not.
And for relaxing, there is the simple "Pause Button". :P
It's like these unskipable intro-logos or unkipable cutscenes in every over game, where I think "I wanna play the game, not watch it!".

Well dunno what to tell you then. It doesn't take that long and once again there's speedrun mode after.

If you skip you don't know the story.

Some people aren't interested in the story at all.
For me, "Here is the target.... kill it!" is enough story.
That's the reason I don't like "The Witcher 3", it's extremely story-heavy but I wanna play a game for it's gameplay and interesting mechanics without getting interupted every 5-10 Minutes.

Thats how the devs chose to showcase the story of the game and the environments are nice to look at. That being said if you can suffer through it once you get speedrun mode and practice mode so you only have to look at them again if you playthough furier, and you will need the downtime im sure

You can be sure as much as you want, if I need such a "Downtime", I can decide by myself, if I wanna let something like this play (or just press the "pause"-button).
If I don't need this, than a complete skip would be nice.
Like I said, it's clearly only there, so that the game seems longer.
Unnecessary forced things are never good in a game.

I'm also pretty much ok with how the devs wanna showcase the story, but not if it's forced.

Having an option to skip would be nice. This would be especially useful in subsequent playthroughs where you're trying to get a better story rank. The first time through I would definitely recommend listening to what The Voice has to say though. Currently, this time is added in to your total playtime for a story run; there would need to be something changed in order to keep the balance in this. I was thinking either add however long it would have taken to auto walk to your time or remove the walking time from the overall time and adjust the ranking requirements.

I boot up the game again today. Even with auto walk, it still take 4 whole minute while this dude only talk to me like 10% of the time, so I spent 4 minite checking my phone right after I boot up my game :(. the 3th boss wasnt that interesting, somewhat boring, and then another walking scene! :o does all boss have walking scene? I dont mine watching animated cutscene, they're fun to watch, I get enough information of the boss' back story from those scene already. Can we have a skip button please? why can we skp animated scene but not the empty walking scene?

[heatburns]

Apparently once you've completed the game they are then skippable and you jump from boss to boss.

Yeah, like in most (not all) other games, but the dev is appearantly so proud of them, that you can't skip them in the first round... and that's a bit annoying. ^^"

Yeah I agree with this, I think the walking sequences are better than in most games, because of the nice visuals, but you should still be able to skip them.
