Lost me at "over 120 minutes of cutscenes"

[XxX GH0ST XxX]

I guess maybe I'm too much of an old school gamer, but is anybody else sick of all the cutscenes you have to watch in a lot of modern games? A good number of them have around 10-15 minutes of this garbage before you can even start playing. I get that they want to tell a story, but why not just go make movies and cartoons instead? The other thing is you don't hardly see what you get to do in the trailers since they're mostly showing the cinematics rather than the actual gameplay. You almost have to watch Twitch sterams or YouTube videos from suckers who already paid.

Unless someone tells me it's "super dope x1000", I might just pass on this one, then think about it during a nice 90 percent off sale.

What's bad about the cutscenes is they ripped straight from the "anime".
Not the original Anime but the butchered 3D remakes of the anime.

I find as i got older the more i enjoy watching cutscenes, when i was a young i used to skip through everything as fast as i could to get to the gameplay. I agree with you on the trailers though i can't stand when they do that, seems like false advertising or something.

if they were made for the game like the title screen cutscene i would to, not these years old cutscenes....

"These years old cutscenes". Of course, everyone knows that anime spoils when left outside the fridge.

The movies were alright. Yes the original anime had more emotion... but for those who wanted to see better animated fights, the 3 movies did a good job. Particular in the first movie when Guts is attacked by Corkus & co. It happens fast but the animations are good and he is not just swinging his sword like a club, but actually using decent techniques.

If you wanna ♥♥♥♥ on anything, please do it on the 2016 version. :p I'm sure we can all agree that it should never have happened, as much as I appreciate the music from that... but they ruined even that by shamelessly abusing Hai Yo every 5 seconds when Guts turns his head or farts.

Anyway... Story is what made Berserk so big in the first place so it's alright to have many cutscenes. For a game where your goal is to interact rather than watch it might not work out for everyone, especially those who aren't familiar with Berserk... but story is still a must-have for a Berserk game.

Dude, each cutscene appears like 2 minutes in a 15 hours game.

[Senpai noticed me]

Berserk has one of the best lores/stories. If you don't like that then this isn't the game for you. The cutscenes are so dividied that you can't even tell.

[Shinpool]

well, one of the best things in berserk is the story, if you dont want to see the story, you shouldnt buy this game, buy dynasty warriors instead, cause every story is pretty much the same in DW. still, if you are interested in the full story, read the manga, better than the anime and covers lots more details, and there are lots of boobs, rape and gore in the manga

"...boobs, **** and gore..."

I wonder... if boobs cover the lewd parts and gore the action parts... what could **** be then? :p

You think 120 minutes is alot, I remember the Xenosaga series on ps2 had like 8 hours of cinematics per game.

[Spooky]

Play the Yakuza franchise. 8 hours? What a joke .. ;)

[XxX GH0ST XxX]

I don't mind them if they're short. I just don't like having to wait forever to start a game. I know you can skip them a lot of times, but then you don't know what the heck is going on in the game sometimes. Would love to see them shorten this in a lot of the games. It's all preference though.

When I was a kid, I remember plugging in a cartridge and you were dodging barrels or jumping on mushrooms a few seconds later.

this game is made for the berserk fans...why would you skip the cutscenes....just get samurai warriors 4 for the gameplay

giangole,

Quite honestly, I don't know what "Beserk" is, which is exactly why I would want to jump in and start playing something. I was curious, so I clicked on a trailer, and then it said there were over two hours of cinematics. It might be a great selling point for people who know it, but for me it really made me think twice.

I'm very much about gameplay, so when I find a chance to game, it's really cool just to be able to play. Sometimes I may have only 30 minutes to spend on a game, then I get tied up in cinematics for a good part of it.

Another game they really mucked up was Metal Gear Solid 5: TPP. It took me awhile to find time to play it, then by time I got to it, I'm gimping through a hospital for 15 minutes or so at the beginning. I darn near fell asleep.

As a Berserk and Koei games fan, I was seriously surprised by the cutscenes , i expected something much more simple and superficial to be honest. If you want pure gameplay you shouldn't buy this.
