The exception to this rule is Hades, the gameplay is great but if I could skip the gameplay to get more cutscenes I’d be tempted sometimes cuz the story is so fucking good
The problem i have is when they infodump at the start with a bunch of names ill never remember.

The psychology of breaking down a soldier in basic training .... beat a new recruit to a pulp, physically, mentally and emotionally until all they understand is how to use a gun and shoot things that are alive.
I mean, I’m here to play a video game, not watch a movie catered to 15 year old, socially stunted boys. It takes a lot of convincing for me to stick around through “Hey newbie, you have to earn our leader’s trust by securing 6 mcguffins and a candy bar before they’ll meet you.”

This fine citizen won't skip the setup in the video either. It's integral to their enjoyment that one knows exactly how the step sister got stuck in the appliance! I salute you.
I'm not here to watch a movie. I'm here to take this axe and hit monsters with it.
I'm sure bloodborne has a very deep story. I had a great time just hitting stuff with that axe and occasionally shooting things. That's the bulk of the content.
Shooting demons is the content. I do not want to listen to the scientist tell me why they opened portals to hell. I do not care why they opened portals to hell. I just want to shoot demons.
This is why I like the 1993 Doom more than the 2016 Doom: Nobody tries to talk to me and stop me shooting demons for any period of time.
::: spoiler in doom shooting demons is the content. in chrono trigger the content is in the story
just this image gives me dopamines. that game got me through college.

It’s fun when FFXIV has dungeons that wrap so tightly into the story, leading many of these players to realize they shouldn’t have been skipping so many cutscenes.

This is why I love roguelites. I don't need a story to tell me why I'm in this dungeon, just give me a gun and/or sword.

Bold words coming from a 15-year-old. But hey, to each their own
Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 111d
To be clear, you’re accusing me of being 15? That genuinely gave me a hit of nostalgia. Could you poorly censor some slurs while you’re at it?
Hazmatastic@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 111d
Absolutely, it was a totally serious comment definitely not based on your totally serious name
Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 111d
Shoot, I somehow forgot I set this. Gonna have to think of a new jape, considering I’m not even playing into this anymore

But how will you ever find out that switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading?!

Every Fromsoft game even if you pay attention to everything you're told.

Except Sekiro. That story is pretty straightforward.

Skipped the cut scene in Rennalas fight.
Went from a library to an ocean with a full moon. Keep forgetting to not skip every time I replay the game, so I still don't know what happens...

I never understand this mentality, like why even play a game if you’re too impatient to even engage with the content.
ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 111d
The action is content. It's just people engaging in the content they want to

I don’t know, I guess I just respect games as an artform a bit more than stepsister porn

Bloodborne has a deep story but good luck figuring out what it is

Kids. They don’t have the attention span. I watch my niece play games, and she never pays attention to cutscenes and never spends her skill points.

Don't think I've ever done in the first play through but not uncommon after that.
