Playing game for the first time

>playing game for the first time
>>hey this game might be good, can't wait for the dialog filled intro to end and the uninterrupted gameplay to begin
>it never does
I can't be the only one that hates this shit right?

>implying there isnt a ton of top notch gameplay
>implying the characters and dialogue isn't worth hearing
>implying you don't have shit taste
I bet you haven't even seen the milkman you contrarian faggot

Don't worry OP, some people just don't get video games.

Maybe you should try pottery or metaldetecting?

Tim Schafer may have lost his way, but this still holds up

I'm just using psychonauts as an example, not the worst example, but the first that came to mind. Gameplay is meh, I don't know what's top notch about it, there's not a lot of options to have fun in different ways nor any challenge, just a fairly linear sequence of cutscenes with some cutesy mechanics inbetween .
I don't get video games because I just like gameplay too much? Jesus christ.

>pcfags will never know the hell that was the meat circus

>I hate long intro cutscenes

t. special snowflake

But seriously there's not many cutscenes at all that are possibly "too long" except the intro and ending to my flawed memory, so you don't have to worry to much. With that said I'm not sure that the game is for you regardless if you didn't like the characters and dialogue enough to want to watch it.

I know exactly what you mean and this is every Level-5 game ever

I really want to love their games but fucks sake
the amount of slow scenes & dialogue I have to get through for each bit of gameplay

Not true at all. The game has an alarming amount of cutscenes for a platformer.

> Max Payne 3

Ni no kuni is a travesty

There's a button to skip cutscenes. If you're on PC, I think it's either Space or Backspace. Or delete.

>top notch gameplay
You surely jest. And while I agree that Milkman Conspiracy is very good, the game tops there. From them on, it's all downhill. Every stage turns into its own collecthaton.

Did you mean to post an image of shenmue?

>check youtube to see for myself
>every "All Cutscenes" video includes long segments of gameplay, boss fights, and optional character dialogue to pad the length

God damn Youtube is such fucking shit

I'm pretty sure every time you begin/finish any of the levels, there are at least 3 cutscenes strung together. The Asylum levels are the worst offender of this.

>tfw you did all that shit and spent 30 minutes trying to get a hot air balloon

What? It was out for like 6 years before it got that update, and quite popular then as well

I really liked the game, but I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a game's length. The game just ENDS, no heading out into the haunted town constantly talked about, no helping every camp member with their problems, little to no explanation on the Psychonauts themselves. It could've been so much more. It's a strange comparison, but Bully is everything I wanted Psychonauts to be. I really doubt Schafer could get it right with a sequel either.

Can't believe they had the GALL to tease a sequel after that abrupt ending

Thats for people whp just want story or summaries if games so they dont have to play. Those provably include important story elements or at the very least show what you'd be doing.

Try thinking next time instead of sperging out like an autist

Did you expect gameplay from shenmue?

I still need to finish Ni No Kuni just because i got bored of that, i wouldn't mind it if there was different battle theme except of just one per normal battle

Camp kids have various eccentric personalties. Was disappointed to find you don't enter their minds but random adults you encounter.

I frankly didnt have any expectations going in. I just thought the whole talking to people and getting clues stuff would be the intro, not the entire series

>tfw those two last boss fights
>tfw found bullfighter on Black Velvetopia by pure luck
>tfw missed one of the posters in Black Velvetopia because I was fed up and just wanted the fucking stage to end
>tfw that fucking transition every fucking time in the theater
>tfw the hot air balloon was there the whole time

I know who the audience is, asshole. It's just ridiculous that what I'm looking for is so inaccessible for a game this well known without having to dig through misleading titles.

I don't get it.

>Beat it years ago on Xbox
>Dreading replaying the Meat Circus on PC
>Dumbed down and finished in a couple minutes

It's still my favorite game though. I'm not sure what to expect with the second one but maybe enough of the original people will have the input to tell Schafer "No."

This is what people mean by entitlement. If it doesnt exist deal with it. Its not a long game

>but maybe enough of the original people will have the input to tell Schafer "No."
yer kidding m8

>people crowdfunded what is basically a sequel to 2 big ass tutorials

With the update that added Steam achievements, and also ported the game to Mac and Linux, they've allegedly drastically reduced the difficulty of the Meat Circus level, the last level of the game that's apparently considered hard.

You must have the most severe form of ADD ever diagnosed. I can't even fucking remember the intro sequence to the game, so it clearly can't be that long. Doesn't it drop you right into the camp?

Just on shit that would take too long or not make sense

They had the passion for the original game to keep developing even when they lost all their funding and publishers bailed left and right, I'm hoping it's still there for them to make a good experience and not one that's only half good like Brutal Legend

The only shitty part about Meat Circus was the fucking pants-on-head retarded escort sections. Once that's over and you get to the rising [lava/water/whatever] section, it's easy mode.

It's 6 minutes long. IIRC, it's the drill instructor telling a horror story and Raz interrupting.

Do you mean during Basic Braining or the actual intro to the game? Because I honestly don't remember this at all, granted it's been a few years.

I'm saying the dialog never stops and just lets you play, which to me feels like an intro.
Because I'm used to action games with some interruption at the beginning and then maybe some when it's about to end.

I'm entitled to be disappointed and to express disbelief and there's not shitting fuck you can do to stop me.

Raz barges in because he ran away from home, don't you remember? Basic training is only after that.

>and there's not shitting fuck you can do to stop me.
What did he mean by this?
