I want to know what all of you do when a cutscene appears in a game. Do you crack your knuckles? take a drink? skip it? I put my controller in my lap and have a drink of water. What do you guys do?

Watch? lol There's not much else to do with a cutscene, especially when I wanna know what's going on in the story. Maybe drink something but that's about it.

if i have to put the controller down that's a sign the cut scene has gone on too long. and / or isn't interesting enough to warrant the time. either way it's a negative against the game

Tap my feet, wait, boil to make tea, heavily varies. .

Depends how long honestly, I don't really care for story heavy games, so if it becomes far too often with little-give for engaging gameplay? high chance I would drop the game entirely & play something fun. This includes those long-winded walking sections found in Valve/ Naughty Dog inspired games.

When I put on a video game I expect to play a game, not watch a poorly written movie.

Depends if I'm into the story or not if I aren't then I instantly skip. There's been many games that Ive enjoyed gameplay and hated the story.

If I can't skip the cutscenes then I'll watch it.

90% of the time I just pay attention, 10% of the time there's a game where IDGAF about the story and I skip it.

I think "Ugh, a cutscene" and then I roll my eyes and endure it because I figure the developer should be given a chance despite me not wanting to sit there and watch.

I watch it if it's the first time. If it's a replay I might not pay attention for a few seconds while drinking water or something similar.

Either drink something is what I normally do but otherwise, I sit back and watch.

I usually watch it, unless I already played the game and know everything or find the story to be absurd, I skip it then.
