Okay, with some games involving lots of cut-scenes, coming on when you do various things, does it ever get a little confusing?

In Conkers Bad Fur Day, for instance, you see all of these cut-scenes that initially have nothing to do with what you are doing. You see Berri get kidnapped, but then you think "But Conker, (the character you are playing as) doesn't know this has happened" But you do, and you control his actions....

It gets a little confusing when you think about what you know, and what the character you play as knows, and the cut scenes don't always take this into consideration....

Um, so how many toes do you got?

Cut scenes are really nice, full of lovely moving polygons... so leave them alone.

Me myself don't believe that cut scenes are confusing because without them you will be well lost (With some games anyway) FMV in my opinion help you understand, and nowadays help the games look good.

So what's so confusing about FMV?

Apart from when you see the game on TV and think it's in game graphics. It can be quite confusing when you see what the game really is.

*Ignores Meka, turns to everyone else... :D*

I'm not a big fan of cut-scenes. In the SNES days screen text was all we needed to get into a story. Nowadays we have confusing FMV's and all.

Honestly, don't worry about it. I doubt I'm the most ignored anything. It's just that Wednesday is complaining day, and i needed something....

Vote Shaneo for next Notable. I will give free...GADs to everyone who votes for me. I guess that I shouldn't make promises that I can't keep LoL.

Lol.

Edgy up to his usual FOG Anarchy.

As for Meka, I think he's the least ignored by Mr Snuggly. He's won more games than anyone else in the forum, even Grix!

To the topic?
I suppose at the end of the day it's only a game.
I've yet to see a cutscene that messes things up like that but it's something that devellopers will gradually look out for.

It is disappointing when one of the better notables is the one who is most ignored..... :)

Does that mean there's something wrong with the notable system?
