Can you skip cutscenes now?

[T]

I'm planning to buy Iceborne if that's the case.
Because I want to create a new character and start all over again. But if I'm unable to skip cutscenes, big skip.
Thanks!

Sadly, cutscenes still can't be skipped, even in Iceborne.

Edit: I was thinking more Assigned Quest-related ones with my initial comment. But for re-doing the Sieges and the Final Bosses, those cutscenes can be skipped.

well, "some" of them can be skipped by hitting the "X" key, but I think u have to have seen it once first before you can do that.

Yeah, i think with how the engine works and how they programmed the cutscenes you can't skip them due to cutscene flags needing to be set in order to properly place all actors in their right spots. Same reason as to why you have to wait for that to happen in order to start/continue multiplayer.

I've not seen this meme topic all week. Bait thread or does the OP actually think anyone from Capcom will see this post? Place your bets!

Tregrenos?
I did the question because I'm not aware of all the Iceborne changes and updates. Maybe they added an option to skip cutscenes, I don't know. So, I wanted to ask y'all about it.
But, sadly, it seems they didn't.

Yeah, they didn't, but it doesn't qualify as a reason to skip IB imho, all it is is just a small portion of the game.
I would personally suggest you recreate a character AFTER completing the IB quest line.
I've created 3 on PC by now, 2 of which have already finished the IB storyline while one is still a fresh character

Why do I have a feeling this is Handler related...

This feature was never planned and Capcom is adamant about not allowing players to skip cutscenes. They stated that they put a lot of work and effort into them and they feel that their work should be appreciated.

At the end of the day it is their game and this is their decision. I feel that we should respect that and I wouldn't consider this to be such a major flaw as some people make it out to be. I'm currently playing through the game again with a new character as a means to learn new weapons and I honestly don't mind the cutscenes.

You may feel different about it, but I wouldn't consider it to be a dealbreaker. I highly recommend Iceborne if you loved the basegame and it's definetly worth it. It adds so much new content to the game. It basically doubles the amount of content. I wouldn't let the unskippable cutscenes deter you from purchasing this DLC. It's truly an amazing DLC and I highly recommend it if you enjoyed the basegame.

2 stale meme topics in 1? Neat. Nobody tell the OP the total combined cutscenes in base-World and Iceborne they can't skip only amount to around 4% of their time if they've played the game for only 100 hours. Let them enjoy beating their dead horse for a little while longer if that's what they enjoy. If they choose to not continue the game because cutscenes slow down their progression who are we to judge their logic on the matter? If they enjoy slamming their head against walls they built for themselves then who are we to stop them?

Maffeketel, I do understand your point, but a lot of companies put effort in their cutscenes and we are able to skip them anyways.
Let's be real here, you don't play Monster Hunter for the story, you play it to Hunt Monsters. Don't you?
The story is not even great in order to eat it all again.
I'm gonna consider yours and Popcorn's feedback though. You were polite.

I'm sorry if my thread triggered you Tregrenos, but I just did a question, don't take it personal.
All I wanted to know if I'd be able to skip cutscenes now, because if you create a new character, yes, you MUST watch all the unskippable cutscenes AGAIN.
I don't understand your final analogy though. You started talking in plural, and I don't form a part of any group or colective so. Do what you do.

[Inanegrain62]

no, you cant.

[SteeamRentShop]

No, and never will be.
Have a good day.

That's correct and yes the story leaves a lot to be desired at times. I generally play it for the monsters and I really appreciate the cutscenes that show a newly discovered monster for the first time and introduce it to the player. The best part of the story is the lore surrounding the monsters and the cutscenes really show their unique characteristics. The majority of the cutscenes fit this criteria so I generally like most of them.
I completely understand that some people find the cutscenes to be a little intrusive to watch. I personally don't mind them, but we can't change Capcom's decision.

I certainly wouldn't want to miss out on Iceborne just because of the cutscenes. This DLC adds so much to the game and it's one of the best DLC's I have ever played. Don't miss out on it over the unskippable cutscenes! If you liked the basegame then you'll love Iceborne and it's great to see some of the older monsters make a comeback as well if you've played previous instalments in the series.
If you love the monsters then Iceborne is exactly what you want as it adds a significant amount of new and interesting monsters to hunt in addition to adding a few familiar monsters from the old games as well. It almost doubles the amount of available monsters in addition to adding 2 new regions to explore.

I hope this helps make your decision a bit easier! I still recommend Iceborne even if you dislike the cutscenes. It's definetly worth it!

i haven't seen a mod to skip cutscenes arise yet, and i would say that's probably a bad sign for people who want to skip deadly cutscene.

the other way around this is to download 'friendly hero' savegame, which has already watched all cutscenes, then use your free character edit voucher to stand at the top of Win Mountain, and yell: "lmfao screw you devs i dont have to watch your dirty cutscene!"
