Oh, I thought you meant the CCTV camera grabbing.
You can't skip those? I would have thought just pressing the select button would do the trick like all the other cutscenes.

Then again those didn't have cinematic cutscenes. Those were in-game mechanics.

And so is using Pull attacks on the bosses in the game :/

And I always say how much I hate Nero. Your point?
Using the pull is a scripted gameplay event, but still gameplay, right, but the cutscene that comes after is not. Having no option but to finish the boss the same way again and again and again already tells much about the "western take on Devil May Cry"

Well look on the bright side. At least you only have to do it with ONE boss. Plus who knows, maybe in a dream area you get the grapple the first time, and for the boss they want players to get use to it's workings like every other new weapon you get.

I can't really take complaining about at most six-second unskippable scenes seriously. It's really the epitome of nitpicking.
Or maybe it's my background as an RPGer that makes me insanely tolerant to that stuff, but it it still seems so trivial to me.

It just seems like he made people hate the game more to me. "By using the words "annoying" and "aggravating" I wasn't really feeling this review in all honesty. I understand it was his review and opinions but...... *sigh* I don't even know anymore. Only a few more weeks until it comes out and I will post my review on it

Wait wait wait wait. Lemme rephrase this a little bit.
Maybe since I've played through all of the Metal Gear Solid saga, I'm insanely tolerant to short unskippable scenes.

Let's put it this way- if you can play through the same mission three times on a demo without getting annoyed by those small cutscenes repeating, then that's probably good enough for the full game.
That is, unless you plan to replay every mission twice before moving onto the next one. With the continuity of the full game I doubt it would get all that repetitive unless you were going back for a very specific reason and needing to repeat it to death (maybe when collecting all keys and doors).
Also, the speed of exploration seems quicker than previous installments. Instead of walking for miles to a castle like in DMC 4, you just whip around a couple of walls and watch a quick cutscene of the floor breaking up or something, which is way more interesting.
I think it's more entertaining with these little personal sequences, and at very little cost. That's just my opinion of it.

for the noobs human to nephilim difficulties should be very easy but SoS and DmD should be very very hard so that the game is hard and gives the old players a sense of nostalgia

Gbraga, don't be a baby. I didn't call you a "hater," did I? I don't even use that word, and I don't think I have ever typed it :/
All I said was I don't think tiny unskippable scenes are a very damning thing about the game, and that it's very silly to make it out to be such a huge problem. I didn't say you were looking for something to complain about, just that you were complaining about something rather trivial. It's my opinion that your opinion is silly.
And yes, by definition, that's what nitpicking is, being overly critical of minor details.

I personally think the way they did the buster button prompts was this gen's best use of "QTEs" (if you could call them that). Non intrusive, not necessary to finish the boss, and only triggered when you "earned" it. In fact I think a game like MGR:R would be better if they got rid of all the button prompts (uggh).. But what I'm worried about is the unskippable platforming segments between fights. Even the guy in the preview who claimed not to be a hack and slash fan said he they were felt just road blocks between combat..

It's quite possible that he's not a fan of platforming segments, or just angry because he's not very good at them for whatever reason (he seemed to be failing at relatively simple sections in the video). Still, this is interesting as the first luke-warm preview I've ever seen for this game from a major journalism source.

Yah I get that he could be bad at them, but he did specifically mention that a game that is built around stylish combat having a ton of filler platforming areas seems counter-intuitive.

I feel it's an interesting and imaginative way to break up combat, add new gameplay elements, and keep you on your toes.

It's not minor, the boss fight is designed like one you'd see in a garbage game that no one cares about, it doesn't belong in DMC or any decent hack'n'slash for that matter, Heavenly Sword's boss fights were better than the Poison boss fight, and unskippable cutscenes in a replay-based game is not minor as well. If it doesn't bother you, you could just not skip anything even if the game gave you the option, why do you have to defend the lack of options? Would it hurt you if they let us skip all those unnessecary and intrusive cutscenes?

Just my two cents but I don't find it unnecessary or overly intrusive - the SHORT cutscene is quite cool imo and it has story reasoning behind it (cuz the tubes extract the poison). I see no reason to be so riled up about it :/ It also gives you a chance to take a sip of your drink before resuming the fight!
If you don't like the boss then upon second playthrough skip it... Simple. I wouldn't call it garbage though - it is a lot better than fights like the gorilla in DMC2 for example! Just my opinion though...
