Yea unskippable cutscenes really detract from replayabilty, especially when there is a shit ton of them.
It's why I'd never watc...er play MGS4 again.

I don't have a problem with long cutscenes every now and then. I'm just getting very fucking annoyed when I'm constantly getting interupted with cutscenes that are barely a minute long and don't feel all that important. There's better ways of storytelling.

Yes, this is true. I've played for about 3,5 hours now and I've literally just finished my very first 'mission' as Connor... (for the first 2-3 hours or so you're playing with a different character). And it still doesn't feel as if the game has properly started yet because I've spent the last hour doing objectives that involved playing hide and seek and killing some animals in the woods... Don't really feel like playing anymore tbh.

Ugh I've been loading up with this damn Steam sale. Damn backlog is getting larger and larger.
Just snagged Scribblenauts Unlimited and plan to have a blast with that for ages to come though.

got Torchlight 2 and finally decided to actually pay for skyrim, plus I can take advantage of the steam workshop more easily now
happy days
p.s. has anyone tried playing skyrim with fxaa injectors and a few graphics mods? This game goes from beautiful to absolutely stunning.

Dwarf Fortress, Towns, Gnomoria.
Between Black Friday/Cyber Monday and all the game sales, I can't spend anymore. Got a ton of new games and a Logitech G35 headset for a good price. Unfortunately no deals better than normal for a GTX 670.
