Familiar dialogue assaults your ears, every word now a haunting reminder of your growing reluctance. Your thumb instinctively spams the same button, ready to play, and crucially not watch, the game, but then finally, your eyes forcibly glaze over in submission, accepting the two minutes of impending torture. Much like the previous save topic, mandatory cut scenes are a development no-no, plain and simple. Be it due to a reloaded save or sudden death, there will come a time that players encounter cut scenes again. Very few want to sit through scenes a second, third or umpteenth consecutive time, and seeing "Press to Skip" along the bottom of the screen is too easy a solution.
