How to skip Cutscenes

[dArkimbA]

So,

Is there a way to disable or skip cutscenes ?

I met up with this toothfairy chick and she was one hell of a chatter, smashed my keyboard to see if I could skip it but no-joy, no-go, nada, nuttin... only thing that worked was alt-tab, but that only paused the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing.

So I took a shower and came back and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tooth fairy chick ingame was still talking.. like the inner f*** ?!
Have to be something in .cfg files to disable cutscenes ?

Press and hold ESC. It even tells you how to skip in the lower right corner of the screen when you touch a key.

That's a no go. Seems like smaller cutscenes which last for a minute or so is skipable, rest isn't.

how about you make your own game with 0 cutscenes? that way there wont be any issues.

you play the single player wich have story elements into it (not going to discuss how good or bad it is) so it shouldent be suprizing you get some unskipable story related scenes, deal with it, or stick to arcade for mindless action.

i am on my third playthrough and i am about to uninstall the game again just because the cutscenes/"sTOrY" is unskippable. i have played games that have the amazing option of letting you skip cutscenes after you have played it hrough once

Thats a really stupid point of view. What is really mindless, is going through the same cutscenes, wasting your time on something you already know, when you were planning on focusing and exploring something you've missed before. Go and read The Witcher series lets say 10 times (all books, from the first one to the last one). No matter how good the story (content) is, being forced to waste time on something you already know would annoy every sane person. If you dont see the problem, then you're the mindless one.

This game might have the worst cutscenes and narrated story I've ever experienced. Every time I finish a mission and some idiot I don't care about starts babbling nonsensically and not letting me talk to anybody I want to throw my mouse against the wall. Not to mention the awful, idiotic, unskippable, forced story progression full on cut scenes. I've taken to just walking away, muting my computer and watching TV for a while when they start running.

press and hold escape .. WOW that's a hard thing to do .????


.if your playing Single player yes .. the game has a story ..so sorry but yes single player games have stories the DEVS work on ...and wanna tell ..

and show the work they put in ...in the motion capture studio's they used with the actors so the animators get work too

the only really unskippable scene is the opening prologue that sets up a story ..that's true with many many games ..not just ubisoft ones

sorry but............. yes games do tell stories these days ..even if you think the story
stinks ..you just said you go watch TV .. many shows also have bad stories too .. but you watch anyway (many TV shows are repeats you have already seen )

think of it as a chance to go get a snack or a beverage for gods sake ...
just like you do when a commercial break comes on tv

I don’t understand why some cutscenes you can skip and others you can’t. Let the people who played the game multiple times not waste there time with 10 minute long cutscenes

I love the game, and I don't mind the intro with the helicopter and chase that's cool too. But I've played this game five plus times all the way through and those longer unsklppable cutscenes that you can't skip make me not want to log in and start killing stuff and having fun - particularly Faith and Jacob's regions.

Like I got ♥♥♥♥ to do in my day, I just need a half hour to unwind by killing some peggies. I don't have time for a dumb slow walking cutscene or trying to beat a timed brainwash thing were if I get killed I have to start all over again.

There are other scenes too but those ones in particular stand out. First playthrough they were the coolest. Second and third were fun too. But after that it's a bad joke. Can't escape it and if I step out IRL to go do something I fail the cutscene and have to repeat all over again because my Rook wasn't walking along.

Anyway, thanks for letting me gripe. It's a great game and a great way to unwind. Just if wishes were horses - whatever the hell that phrase means.
