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.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks this kid is literally the cancer killing the gaming industry.

Not every game ever made needs to be instant action. Go back to cowadoody.

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.

You mean the butchered ones that add back in the relevant stuff that make it actually continue on past the eclipse?

This gaming industry isn't dead. In fact, we're seeing more indie developers and cross-platforming every day. But hey, if blaming me for your dissatisfaction makes you feel better, then go for it. I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Sometimes a topic is just that. Something for people to discuss their thoughts over. Hey, maybe someone will even tell me how it's cool and I might go out and buy it. So stop getting your panties in a bunch over nothing.

OH NO!
This game has over 2 hours of cinematic cutscenes!
OH NO!

...Are you serious?
First: this is fine for a game that is a fanservice based on a manga or anime. Because this game is made for the fans of Berserk Manga and Anime, and most of the fans want to see their favorite scenes in the game
Second: Two hours of cutscenes is very little. Metal Gear Solid 4 has solid (got the pun?) 8 hours. JRPG games tend to have 5< hours of cinematics.

And holy crap, RPG games tend to have a crap load of cutscenes! I mean, talking to NPCs is a part of their gameplay!

So dude, i don't mind cutscenes.

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

Pretty sure Vanquish (which was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ action shooter for crying out loud) had a 30 minute long intro. Followed by more cutscenes after about 10 seconds of action.

I honestly think I spent more time watching cutscenes in that game than I actually did playing it.

Ya but that game had like a 3 hour boring intro and had panty shots of underage girls those aren't the standard of JRPG's or even good, Xenogears and Xenoblade X are 100 times better.

Do you even Shenmue or Metal Gear Solid, bro?
Games have been doing this since the Dreamcast and PSX.

120 minutes across 30-40 hours isn't much.

You're right, and IMO it sucks. My first video game system was one of those B&W consoles with the dial that you switch to change games. It's changed a lot since the stick and dot games, but half the junk they put out anymore is less fun than that was for me.

I will tell you one more thing about this. One of the fun things about beating the games were the few seconds of animation you got for beating them. Now the cutscenes are often on the same level as the endings, and sometimes even better.

If it wasn't ripped from the recent movie adaption I would actually be eager to watch it. I enjoyed the fmvs from the ♥♥♥ only release of the PS2 game, but this is just irritating and makes me even less interested than the fact that it's a Warrior's game.
