Some games only let you skip after you've seen something once, which seems sensible until you get a crash right after a long one then have to sit through it again because the game thinks this is your first time. Jody Macgregor: I don't skip cutscenes unless I'm replaying, then get mad if I'm not allowed to. James Davenport: 'The poet must not avert his eyes.' It made the boar killing that little bit more manageable. After roughly an hour of intense levelling, I dropped out and returned to playing at my own speed so I can soak up those cutscenes. For the last expansion a group of us tried levelling together, which meant skipping all the cutscenes. Sometimes I skip, particularly if I'm in a new raid, but then I tend to go back and watch them at my own pace later. Things get a little sketchier when I'm playing WoW. For single player games I tend to try and sit through them. Multiplayer shooters will have me bouncing off the skip key faster than you can type something derogatoryВ about my mum. God knows how many pointless hours I've spent sitting through awful storytelling - and how much rubbish lore I've then retained in my brain, takingВ up space that could be used for actually useful memories.ДЄlan Dexter: It depends on the game. It's the same impulse that makes me want to have all the DLC, and to find every sidequest. I hate feeling like I'm missing anything in a game. Robin Valentine: Yeah I'm just like Andy-even if the story is absolutely dreadful, I just can't bring myself to skip them.
