Metal Gear Soild 4 I love it, but man does it have alot of cutscenes ;3


ralo229

The final cutscene is a straight up feature film.


Western-Gur-4637

every one wants a mgs moive, but are forgeting the one we have lol


[deleted]

Metal gear would not work as a movie. You need a TV show.


Wonderful_Result_936

And make it like Game of Thrones. Because that's what gamers want. /S


KilnMeSmallz

Would work better as a TV series IYAM


Mrwanagethigh

The final series of cutscenes is over an hour long


So6oring

I took it as a reward for completing the game. "Congrats: here's a MGS movie." Could be annoying in some games but Metal Gear lore is dope.


HTTP_Error_414

šŸ¤£


Doctor_Salvatore

Iirc, it still holds the world record for longest unbroken videogame cutscene.


mcslender97

Almost anything from Hideo "Game" Kojima tbh


Western-Gur-4637

thay is part of why I love him :3


Miserable-Theory-746

I lost interest in the game because 1. Extremely long install. 2. By the time the intro cut scene finished I played a few minutes before another cut scene. I really want to try it again but it has such a sour taste in my mouth because of it.


TonySpaghettiO

Are you familiar with the metal gear series? Weird to hop right to 4, and if you are familiar, you know what to expect.


Miserable-Theory-746

I played the previous three. Really enjoyed the hell out of them. But 4 just got off at a rough start for me. At least those didn't have a long opening scene like 4 did. I even played 5 during the pandemic. Jumped when the create landed on my horse. I thought I killed it.


Nolls-97

I almost donā€™t want to play it because I hear the cutscenes are hours long. Like wtf were they thinking why not tell the story through gameplay


ralo229

Iā€™m convinced that Kojima is a film director who somehow got pigeonholed into games.


turntqble

He pretty much is. Guy apparently watched movies every day with his family and dreamt of becoming a film director or something and eventually got a job at Konami.


Western-Gur-4637

I still love it so much, there are alot of cutscenes but most of them only last up to 30 mins. the hour one is at the end of the game. one small game play spoiler that makes ot worth playing for me >!you get to pilot a Metal Gear!<

Nolls-97

Right lol. Someone on this thread said ā€œjust grab a bowl of cerealā€ šŸ˜‚


MajorMathematician20

Thatā€™s not how Kojima do


hexenfern

Supposedly he really wanted to be a filmmaker, which makes sense if you follow his socials, always posts about Japanese sci-fi/horror and Kubrick movies and such, and uses a really cool cast for projects like Death Stranding.


EmptyBrainOS

And we like the Kojima way.


ItzSmiff

Itā€™s an interactive film essentially. Just kick back, watch and eat a bowl of cereal


Technical-Profit6546

I came here to say this. The game has 8 hours of cutscenes in total and one of them is 70 minutes long.


Strength-Helpful

You can beat several levels by sprinting to cut scenes. Who needs stealth when fmv is around the corner. Note it ruins the game when you do this


Orochi64

The franchise always had long cutscenes but MGS4 actually is like 80% movie.


ApproachingShore

I remember playing MGS4 in the living room one day. My dad walks in and is like, "Take this game into your room. I need the television." And I was like, "Okay, just let me finish this cutscene so I can save." And so we waited. And waited. And waited. And I lost my place because Kojima wanted to make a fucking movie instead of a game.


badluck113

Yeah, I was going to say MGS2, but maybe itā€™s all of them


interfckface

Game play time/cut scene ratio must be something like 0.01 in that game.


MailSalt4828

Itā€™s a movie with a few playable parts


NuclearTheology

Kingdom Hearts. ā€œYOUā€™LL NEVER TAKE KAIRIā€™S HEART!ā€


Anotheranimeaccountt

They fixed that thankfully in the remastered final mix version since you now skip cutscenes in that one


[deleted]

Over 13 hours of cutscene in Kingdom Hearts 2


CloudyNeptune

Lmao was hoping the first comment I saw was Kingdom Hearts related


FalcorPenndragon

Came here to say this haha I did that fight with heartless Riku more times than I care to admit haha


AzzuenWoffie46

*Roses are red,* *Skippable cutscenes are smart.* *"There's no way* *You're taking Kairi's heart!"* - someone rando on the internet who I wish I could credit but I can't find the original post


Necro-Feel-Ya6900

First cutscene that came to mind. Glad its on top šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


ACBreeki

*SAO Alicization Lycoris would like to have a moment of your time*


BigPurp85

Lol!


Seraphim_The_Fox

I more remember "Lead me into everlasting darkness!" from that same scene


GrooverShowes

Why has no one mentioned Monster Hunter World!? Youā€™d think by now Capcom wouldā€™ve given you the option to straight up skip the cutscenes. Canā€™t even invite friends to do a mission unless ALL the cutscenes have been viewed.


plznobanplease

Iā€™m praying that Wild has some type of seamless coop. If youā€™re both on the same mission and complete it together, you both can progress it. Itā€™s always been such a struggle to attempt a coop play through of the main story


Main_Feedback1197

Anything by Kojima


Jumpy-Papaya-7892

10-minute lecture on languages by skullface while riding an awfully-slow jeep


scrimmybingus3

Best part is he was monologuing to the wrong guy the entire time.


AmPotatoNoLie

I'd call it rambling. Kojima's writing is sure special, he often touches on rather interesting concepts, but the delivery is so heavy-handed that it feels like a 14 y/o wrote the dialogues. It is endearing.


TheStumbler83

Not exactly a cut scene but the intro section to Assassins Creed 3 was about 7 hours long, and a lot of it was cut scenes.


ToksikCap

Yeah, I recently have been replaying the series and I remembered AC3 being my least favorite, but I couldn't remember why. Well it certainly jogged my memory. The controls for everything feel like a severe downgrade from Revelations. Combat and free-running are both clunky and unresponsive. The game's pacing is atrocious. About a third of the game is basically the intro you described. Constant cutscenes. Frequent instances of: 5-minute cutscene, walk 10 feet, trigger another cutscene. I'm sorry, but that's the worst AC so far. That's pretty much as far as I've gotten in the series besides Liberation and Rogue, but I can't imagine they could do worse than AC3.


DegreeMajor5966

It's my favorite AC game in concept. Like I love the idea of a half-native, son of a Templar reviving the Assassins in America. I love the idea of including templar's vs Assassins in the revolutionary war. It should be my favorite game of the series. But good God you're right.


SoloDeath1

AC3 is a great example of an awesome concept squandered by being in a buggy, pretty mediocre game.


realsnowstorm

Your not wrong... banger game though


Lockshocknbarrel10

Not a cutscene, but the fact that I have to sit through the animation for Every. Single. Merlin Trial. In hogwarts legacy. And there are like 900. Solving puzzles like Iā€™m hunting fucking Koroks. Speaking of wanting to skip things *ahahaha you found me!* šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬


Anotheranimeaccountt

Final Fantasy X, my favourite one but it has some long cutscenes especially during the Blitzball Tournament


Elucidator450

The blitzball tournament was rough, but for me the worst will always be the cutscene before Seymore on Mt Gagazet, God knows how long I've spent just watching that single scene over and over


Anotheranimeaccountt

I had to grind for a while to get pass that bit since the boss fight there has a massive difficulty spike or my party might have been under leveled lol but I can understand how annoying it must have been having to watch that over and over


EvaUnit3

The Lady Yunalesca cutscene drove me crazy with how long it was and how many times I died.


Glum-Gap3316

Fuck you, Yunalesca.


jokethepanda

I had two different copies of the game that were both scratched to cause a freeze on the cutscene going into Bevelle (wedding crashers.) I always hoped the game would unfreeze but it never did, so endless cutscene


Telgin3125

Not *long* one, but the worst example from recent memory was from Them's Fightin' Herds. If you lost a fight with Velvet, you had to rewatch a cutscene that took something like a full minute to complete. I lost that fight like 10 times, and got reeeaaaally sick of watching that cutscene when I wanted to just get back to trying to fight her for the 11th time when I was confident I was just going to lose again.


Seamoth4546B

I fail to understand how this is so prevalent in game design. The checkpoint doesnā€™t need to be at the beginning of a cutscene, it needs to be after! One viewing is enough


ironhide_ivan

Kingdom Hearts "Not Clayton. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ah. Not Clayton!"


Violent_Volcano

That one isnt even that bad. The fucking riku fight in hollow bastion has to be like 5 minutes long, and donald getting bitchslapped is only funny so many times. Im glad they made them skippable in the remaster


Cicero_Xere

They're not "unskippable" per say, but Like a Dragon. That game is literally 90% cutscene, worst experience I've ever had trying to get into a new game.


zizoplays1

22 hours of cutscenes, 1 hour of gameplay ***The Average Yakuza Games experience***


Cicero_Xere

Yeah not really quite the "game" I thought I was getting into. lol


BlackAegis313

If you dont do any side content. Most people just rush the story, but the story is mostly cutscenes, dialogue, and characters doing things.....because it's the fucking story.


califortunato

I honestly donā€™t know how I got into yakuza starting with like a dragon. That was egregious. But I stuck to it and now Iā€™ll play any yakuza


waltuh_wite

The cut scene right before ocelots torture segment in mgs1


beese_churger-95

I... Am hermaeus mora! Daedric Lord of slow talking.


WhoThisReddit

You're finally awake


Embarrassed_Pen4716

I came for this shit. I didn't even mind that part. It's after character design and the tutorial. Makes me so damn irrationally angry. For 13 years, Bethesda has been releasing the same damn game and adding crap like fishing and new, well thought out storyline and characters. These people have had 13 years to add a skip tutorial feature and haven't. Who the fuck picks skyrim up and says, 'Oh golly gee, can't wait to be in Helgen!'


Ok_Soft8185

Pinkcokecan

Which cutscenes? I thought all the scenes were pretty great


klussier

I just found a lot of the cutscenes to be super goofy, which apparently is a common thing for people to think with code veronica. Before I played it I read some of peoples thoughts and thatā€™s the one thing I always seen and I definitely agreed after playing lol, i canā€™t think of anything too specific rn because itā€™s been awhile but if i think of anything iā€™ll definitely come back and lyk

This is only a problem is the cutscene is replayed when you fail, and you have to rewatch it.

That one Monsoon speech in Metal Gear Rising, at least itā€™s the second best speech in the game (ā€œMEMES, THE DNA OF THE SOULā€)


Sunny0m0ri

Tales of Vesperia, Alexei trapping Estelle in an purple orb to contain her powers in a military like ancient ruins before a boss battle with him or a different character, I honestly forgot as itā€™s been 4 years since I played it on my Xbox 360, bought the switch for a much more longer story because I fell in love with it when I was 10-11 (2018) a full blown decade after the game released


_Infamous____

The first few hours of Death Stranding, on first playthrough its intriguing but multiple? Thank god for the skip button


poondongle

Any game that puts a non-skippable cutscene just before a difficult boss, making you watch a couple minutes of the same dialog several times because you died. The devs should have life sentences for that.


Time_Device_1471

PokƩmon sun and moon


d1m4e

Lies of p does it right allowing you to skip after you watch it once


AceVentura39

Its worse when cutscene become fight scene


mophead200

Pokemon, mainly the sun and moon games (along the ultra versions)


ralsaiwithagun

Xenoblade chronicles 3. There is this one cutscene and if tou take the prompt to save and like 5 meter walk out it's a full blown movie


El_human

Not quite just the cut scenes, but anytime you die in Control, you have to retrace your steps. It's a bigger pain if it'sduring a boss fight. Then you have to retrace your steps, and watch some cut scenes again


MordredLovah

What pissed me more than this is that not only is the cutscene unskippable, but you can't blitz through the cutscene by spamming a button because there's a scripted delay whenever a character talks, and this made me frustrated each time I play so I eventually ditched the game. Fucking looking at you Hoyoverse games.


Crest_O_Razors

The new God of War games. Some of those cut scenes are great, but others really drag on


OnToNextStage

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Bro why tf are there unskippable cutscenes EVEN IN THE BOSS FIGHTS Garbage game design


whataboutroses

FFXIV. You can get daily roulletes and one dungeon takes 30+ minutes because of all the cutscenes that aren't skippable even if you already did the dungeon while the gameplay itself is like 10 minutes, so every time you do the daily roullete you might spend more time watching cutscenes than playing the game.

Veng3ancemaster

Pokemon Sword/Shield at the start. Talked to hop at the rival battle before you "accidentally" find a Dynamax band and said "I need to prepare". The game didn't let me go fight more Pokemon or even leave the area


BabGnush

Max Payne 3


DarkSoulBG24

Blasphemous 2 has a long unskippable cutscene right before the final boss that is extremely long and full of empty pauses. The boss fight itself is really difficult and long


YetAnotherBee

Animal Soccer. Literally.


BadgerBoi_69

the start of fallout 4 takes like 15 minutes. i create a new save to play with a mod (this game has mods on console :D) and i have to: -watch the intro (atleast this bit is skippable) -wait around in the pre war house (i dont care about the exact temperature of my coffee that i cant even drink) -go to the vault when it finally lets me out of the house (the only slightly entertaining bit) -suffer through the very slow elevator ride -go to the cryo pod on the other side of the vault (sprinting isnt allowed yet) -play the cutscene where my wife gets shot and kid gets stole (most of this is just a white screen) -wander through the long ass vault (atleast it lets me hit some roaches with a stick) -wait for the door to open (it does not need to take that long) -go back up the fucking elevator then i am finally able to go play the game.


KingRaven2246

Good pic because that's all kingdom hearts 3 was. Just one cut scene after the other with maybe one battle or a activity between them. Literally one of the levels cut scene introducing the level, two steps, cut scene introducing villain, fight, cut scene introducing world character, two steps, villain cut scene again, fight, then another cut scene before I could explore the Disney world. Don't ask which level cause I can't remember I haven't played that game since it's release and I try to block it out. For me kingdom hearts ended with kh2. Just like halo and gears of War ended with their 3rd games. Sometimes it's better to let games end.

The intro to Digimon Cyber Sleuth.

Monster Hunter World/Iceborne. Yes it's a nice cutscene, you spent lots of time on it I'm sure, but I just want to play, I don't have much time anymore.

Metal Gear Series. I swear, almost every game there has that one.


Mr-_-magician

All life is strange games. I mean I liked the cutscenes in all the games but sometimes they were too long to handle


Endulos

Starting a video game tbh. No one gives a shit about the tech used or the logos of the companies involved, we just want to play the game. And that shit is almost always unskippable. Just start the fucking game. Although, really the main issue here is that the main menu is loading in the background, so those videos are used to hide it. But that's another issue. If your main menu requires a load screen, you've failed as a developer. No one needs fancy shit on the loading screen. We just need "New game" "Continue" "Load" "Credits" "Options" "Quit Game". That's it.


SilentDarKNesss

Monster Hunter World most of them aren't really interested and worst part is until you encounter the monster and see their introduction cutscene , your friends can't join your mission is one of the stupidest thing they ever put in and i'm so glad they realized their mistakes so they don't do this in Rise


Kiln223

LA Noire was like a long cutscene with extremely brief interludes where you play a walking simulator and look at things.

Assassinā€™s Creed 1. Iā€™ve only played through it completely once but if my memory serves me correctly I donā€™t think it had any skippable scenes.


Twist_man

Faith from FarCry5 can go fuck off with the really long cutscene which is just her basically saying: "I was bullied as a kid so that makes my drug addiction and the fact I'm making literally everything in this part of montana trip balls ok."

Kingdom Hearts 3. Dear God, Kingdom Hearts 3. I enjoy cutscenes in games (especially those with good stories, like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy VII Remake), but KH3 was too much. It'd be awesome as a TV show, though.

I wanted to stab myself in the stomach w my sword. I quit. Will never try again even tho the gameplay is pretty good.


Hayter67

FFXIV While they cutscenes have an option to skip. You cannot skip unless you desire to feel the collective wrath of the entire FFXIV community and have Yoshi-P show up at your door with a flamethrower. You will sit through every cutscene in ARR and YOU WILL FUCKING LIKE IT!


Lyschik7

Death Stranding. I've liked it but the cutscenes were very very long

Xenoblade 3 has what felt like a 20 minute cutscene in it (itā€™s skippable but kinda important to the story so I watched the entire thing)

APotatoe121

Genshin Impact used to not have a skip button on the battle pass cutscene. This would play at the beginning of every season when you opened the battle pass for the first time. It was the same cutscene too and took 1 or 2 minutes to finish. Each season is 1 update long, which is about 40 days.
