Devs, can we skip anim?

[ristar85]

Can we have an option to skip the video/animation for carry agent, dispose body, and the extraction van?

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Instead of skipping animations what would be better is an untethered camera action to units.

So let's say you made Agent A turn off a CCTV console, instead of "locking" the camera to follow that agent, we can opt to TAB to another Agent so we can do stuff simultaenously. Would also feel good to issue commands to your entire squad and hit "End" even before our guys end routing and doing stuff.

Esc key already ends the van/aircraft videos, haven't tried it with other cutscenes but probably them too. "Stuck" with ability animations though.

No need for name calling yo!

Also currently I can only see three lame reasons why you dislike the action cam animations:

1. You are impatient and just want to rush playing game.

2. You dislike investing on your in game characters' back stories. Yes we're just playing with digital toy soldiers here but for some of us, we enjoy giving our ragdolls actual personalities. In my case I actual make characters based off of friends, family and loved ones. So that in a way I can roleplay as well.

3. And finally, the one that is absolutely stupid...

Your potato can't handle the awesome animations.

I admit I only have a system that has a 6th Gen i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a measely GTX 750 TI GPU, but I can run the game buttery smooth as long as I lower Ambient Occlusion and Antialiasing :)

Thank you for confirming that you ARE idiocy personified.

Thanks.

And thank you for giving me more reason to report your bad attitude ;)

You like it, others find it a waste of time. It has nothing to do with system specs, bs character stories, etc. I have absolutely no interest in watching the same crap 24987562349857239875328907598327 times. It's an absolute waste of time.

Like I said before, it's fine that you're easily entertained, selfish child. All I'm asking for is the devs to provide a way for people to be able to play the game and not waste time watching the same crap over and over again.

Potato head, never go full potato.

Lastly, it is not "bad attitude" to point out something stupid, as something stupid. That is, in fact, called "pointing out the truth". A very revolutionary idea for the likes of you, I'm sure.

Pro tip: If you don't want to have your idiocy pointed out, simply do not behave like one. Voila. You're welcome.

And calling out people as a potato head isn't bad attitude then?

Selfish child, selfish child, in response to another bout of inability to comprehend my post, I will quote myself:

If you don't want to have your idiocy pointed out, simply do not behave like one. Voila. You're welcome.

Please reread it as many times as you need. That sentence of revolutionary wisdom, to the likes of you, applies to all things.

Me selfish!?

Look at the guy calling someone who doesn't share his views rude names.

FYI, there are other people who also agreed with me for wanting more animatiobn sequences in the game. So who's being selfish and rude eh?

+1 on more setting to customize the game's experience - giving everyone the level of detail they prefer

I don't care for seeing the same animation of someone leaning over a telescope 20x per mission - it takes me out of the situation, even for that moment that I have to transition to the other picture and hit the space bar.

Also for something uniquely Phantom Doctrine, how about closer up animations for when an Agent takes photos of documents, closer animations when turning off CCTVs and security terminals and of course when taking loot.

I like this idea.

Because XCOM allow skip all sequences...

After some player will request movement sequences can be skip, and then that shoot sequences can be skip. Then that world map will allow jump yo next event without wait. And more and more.

Ok options, but each are as much time and resources removed to other improvements. This only for some hyper active kid that anyway won't have the patience to play this game.

Ah, idiocy personified again.

YOU are arguing for having NO OPTIONS, because you like to rewatch the same thing over and over and over again.

Who's selfish? YOU!

Again, I'm neither being selfish nor rude. I am literally JUST describing you.

Everyone has limited amount of time, children like yourself are incapable of comprehending something so simple.

Only useless and easily entertained trash have unlimited time to rewatch the same crap over and over again. Only useless and wannabe photographers would keep taking pics or whatnot as if they will go back and look at those useless crap again and again and again.

There is also a difference between PLAYING the game and WATCHING the same animations over and over and over again. Learn the difference.

Your crap about time and resources.. This is just setting a boolean as a parameter somewhere. Literally true or false, and then doing a if condition. OOooooOOOOooh, it's going to take time!!! MILLIONS OF HOURS OF TIME!!!!

[Dorok]

Stop play games if you don't have time, play mobile games instead.

You start request a finger is removed, but then you'll request the hand, the arms and the legs.

Sorry but your pressure was ignored in XCOM1&2, no point an indie dev with a much more limited budget starts spend time to solve all bugs such change will trigger.

They already said they'll tried but NO WAY IT'S A PRIORITY.

You can't get it, that's your problem, you won't stop me highlight you are an hyper active that should better start learn not be so constantly impatient.

What's ridiculous is those animations are very short, shoot and movements are longer.
