Do you skip cutscenes?

I just beat MGS2 and I don't even know WTF the story is about....

I didn't watch a single cutscene in that game because they were too damn long. Now I'm playing the first and third games and I don't watch the scenes in them either is that a good idea?

Do you skip em like me?

Please please please please tell me you're joking when you say you skipped the cutscenes in MGS2....

All of the MGS games have a very deep story, and if you skip it you're really missing out on a lot.

That was the first thought that came to me. Of all games, he chose this one (or this series) to skip cutscenes.

If you do skip cutscenes, you could just read a fanboy's version of the story on wikipedia.

I much rather watch them, then read them.

If I find the story mind numbingly boring I will.

It depends on the game, if its a RPG then the story is a big part of the game but if its something like Gears of War of Halo then it all comes down to gameplay and a story never seems to matter.

Always on the first play through. The story of a game, especially a good one, is my favorite aspect; getting into the role of a character and seeing the game and it's story unfold through the character's eyes has always appealed to me as a gamer.

That's secondary, or off the radar entirely for some people.

Me, I usually watch them if only to know what to do or where to go next, but sometimes I take a pass.

Cutscenes are awesome. i can't believe you skip them and MGS2 of all games too. I hope that in the future we'll see more cutscenes in games.

I'm not usually enough patience to watch all cut screen in MGS2. These cutscreens are so long.Macolele

Jesus...

nope, unless I've already watched them or just don't care about the games story but thats just the games that are generic beat 'em ups

Well, they're nice to look at, like watching a movie, but if you already know what to do, you might as well skip them. I tend to watch the scenes in my first playthrough.viewtiful26

only if its my second time playing the game, otherwise no.

I do not skip cut-scenes because the Story in a game is very important to me; along with the character interactions, dialogue, music etc...

But some Videogame Stories just don't make much sense at all, like MGS for example.
