10 Huge Video Games That Screwed Up Basic Things
10. Cutscenes Can't Be Paused - Devil May Cry 5
The ability to pause cutscenes has been a common feature in video games for over a decade now, ensuring that players don't miss any crucial story beats if they need to step out of the room for a minute.
It's something we all take for granted nowadays, as we absolutely should, because what kind of game would release in this day and age without it?
Devil May Cry 5, that's what.
Despite being one of 2019's most critically acclaimed video games and boasting a high degree of technical polish, DMC5 bafflingly didn't include the ability for players to pause cutscenes.
This resulted in many accidentally skipping over the gorgeously-rendered cinematics while trying to pause, ultimately requiring them to fire up YouTube and seek out what they missed.
Even typical workarounds like exiting to your console's home screen didn't fix the issue, with the cutscene still playing out in the background.
Despite the game releasing around 18 months ago, Capcom still hasn't bothered to patch in a pause feature. Embarrassing isn't even the word.
