People who skipping dialogues in game gives me the ick, imo. Like why are you rushing through the story and not give a shit if you want to know what’s going on. I’m so confused by this.

I once watched an hour long summary of the fortnite story in a misguided attempt at understanding the context for all the pew pew Peter Griffin shooting Goku in the face stuff going on. At the end, I realized I had retained absolutely none of it. It was like my brain couldn't track any of it.
All I know so far is Hope is there, Miku is shooting her Miku Miku Beams at Godzilla, Kong is ney ney dancing on Goku and Deku’s bodies, Snoop Dogg is crip walking on Peter Griffin and Morty, and apparently the Smash invitations have been sent to the cast of the Yakuza series.
Plus Batman, the ninja turtles, and the alien from Alien keep teaming up to kill me and also Eminem is teabagging my non-existent corpse and there are Legos scattered about. It's like my childhood has united against me for... reasons. It exists in a dreamspace outside of rational thought. 😵💫
1. The gameplay is strong even though the writing is weak.
2. The world building is great but the dialog is terrible.
3. I'm just here for mindless fun today.
I only skip it due to me playing the game before or if I bought the game on another platform and I'm trying to catch up to my previous save. It's just me speeding things along since my backlog is a tragic mess and I want to get through it at some point 😅
Oh lmao 🤣🤣 I know some people that blitz through the game to play it and then watch the cutscenes like a movie. Iunno, they freaky but at least they go back to watch the plot. Maybe its something related to choices in how to consume media. 🤷 Dont think it's a wrong answer but definitely not the norm
Sometimes I got the point at the beginning OR i already know the dialogue, but otherwise I learned my lesson lol no more missing instructions because I was too impatient 😭
I don’t always skip but sometimes the pacing of the dialogue drives my adhd crazy so once I’ve read the caption if they’re not almost through the line I’ll skip to the next line but I never skip the whole scene
I only ever skip story stuff if I've already played the game a couple times. Even then sometimes the cutscenes hit so hard that I can't bring myself to skip them.
At some point you know how the dialogs play out so given the "starting option" and first part of response (like "yea"/"no") you know what they they will say and it's boring so you just skim words to make sure there is no clues inside. And sometimes when there are VA you don't want to listen to them.
People will shit on a character to no end and say they suck, and then when pressed about why they answer with, "Well I didn't like them when they were introduced so I skipped every cutscene with them included." 😵💫
I do it sometimes because I turn on captions and I can read the captions faster than the voice actors say them. It’s still risky though because sometimes I miss out on the brilliant performances of the voice actors.
I recently played WH40k:Rogue Trader. I read almost every line of dialogue because the story interested me. But if it didn't, then I wouldn't even play a game with that much dialogue because the gameplay was the same turn based system used a thousand times. So it's context based.
Uh Because there is a Dragon to Kill ! Don’t really care why they want me to kill it 🤔 or if they don’t want me to kill it
“It is a really Sweet Dragon with a long and Noble……”

“I don’t wanna Hear it Dragon Lover , I just Wana Fighhhhhhhtttt CHHhhAaarrrge!!!”
Sometimes I've read the subtitles already but the character is speaking really slowly and my ADHD makes me smash that space bar 😭 I absorb every bit of the dialogue though, the story is 80% of the experience for me
I'll say that if I'm skipping dialogues in a game, it's most likely because I don't like the game and won't get 10% through it before giving up. A game I love, I'll play through more than once and listen to every line each time.
I only do this because I’ve seen other people play the stories of my games so I know how it goes lol
Or in rare instances it’s because I’m more interested in gameplay and mechanics rather than story oop but people who skip the story and complain are weird to me ack
I feel this! If you bought the game/expansion whatever, Why skip ALL of the story just to zoom to the end AND THEN have the audacity to say “ehhh didn’t like the story” The hell you mean? You skipped it! Then claim 3/10 game sucked. What game?! Ya skipped it!🙃 replaying? Ehh whatever skip away!🦝
Often I don’t have a ton of time to play games. And when I want to play games I don’t want to spend my entire allotted time in a cutscene that I won’t remember the next time I get to play.
ESPECIALLY if it's their first playthrough!!! You only get to experience it for the first time ONCE! The devs and artists worked so hard on every little detail, and they're really gonna skip it?! 😭😭😭
There are people out there right now who pick their nose and touch things in their house with unwashed hands...who cares about those people, just like who cares how people decide to spend time with the games they play

I love the game, it was my fav game back in the day.
I have no idea what the story is about.
Xd
But it's an understandable opinion.
Some people play HSR for example and skip dialogue and talk on lengths how bad the story is, play something you actually enjoy instead!

Which means I don't play story-heavy games and wish they weren't so many of them. Hit start, start playing.
Typing on a phone sucks.
"You skipped the cutscenes"
That's boring lol
