Title is tongue in cheek, of course—they probably are gamers. I get that making a game is complex and full of trade-offs, and you can’t please everyone. Still, there are certain design decisions that just feel like they weren’t made by people who play games regularly.
Are there actually games that allow this?
Pretty sure Half Life 1 and 2 work that way, since the cutscenes happen entirely in game
Bayonetta games do. Opens a specific pause menu with skipping option.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon does this and I’m grateful.
I seem to remember even FF7 allowing this.
