Gaming Games tend to have too many cutscenes these days?

[Hoppipolla]

To me they seem very frequent, sometimes unskippable, often even kind of intruding on the action, and also can have political messaging.

Years back games were more arcadey and didn't have many cutscenes by title on average.

I find it quite tedious and off-putting.

Like if this game came out now every stage would be bookended with cutscenes filled with drama about how Jacky doesn't get along with his sister or something.

It seems like there's a lot of dialogue in general. Like in this boss battle. They don't stop chatting for one second.

Some games like judgment and Lost Judgement are storywise very cutscene heavy. I still like them tho. Not being able to skip them can be frustrating.

There are many indie games today with a more "arcade" feeling. I tend to like a combination of both.

Literally every AAA game now is like this, lol

Yeah I agree with you for sure @gotet that many indie games are still fine
