Dude, I don't know why anybody in the world would ever make a cutscene to where you cannot skip it, but unskippable cutscenes might be one of the worst things in all of gaming. Dude, it drives me crazy. Oh, it's the worst, especially on like a second playthrough and it's a long cutscene. And you're just like, come on, man, let me, let me just get through this. I already know what's going to happen. I know what they're going to do. but what makes

you're mas like, come on, man. Let me, let me just get through this.

I already know what's going to happen.

I know what they're going to do.

You're mashing the button a thousand times still. Like, just skip. Yeah, I'm just trying to hit square or something just to get it through. But what makes me even more upset is escort missions, dude. Like having to just drag some dumb AI that doesn't know what the heck they're doing through this level and just watching them die over and over and then you die. It's, oh, I hate it. Oh, dude. Escort missions are the worst. We've talked to developers. They say they hate making them. They're hard to code. They're hard to develop for. No gamer likes an escort mission. Like, why is why is this still the thing nobody nobody likes them looking at you resident evil four dude escort mission is the

through the fight and send out waves of freaking enemies. Drives me insane. The bosses are hard enough to give them the ability to heal. And it's like you better interrupt the heal or have a way to deal with it. Because otherwise it's like, oh, I'm just full health. All that work for nothing. And then a lot of times to do it, they'll like, you know, send a wave of enemies. So then you lose more health, most likely.

1:28.7

And then they heal up and you're like, oh, come on, this is a bad trade.

1:32.2

Yeah.

1:32.6

Why are they allowed to heal?

1:33.6

I'm the only one who should be allowed to heal.

1:36.7

Guys, you know what I really hate, though, is when a podcast does, like, they don't even start

1:40.6

with, like, the music that I'm used to.

1:58.6

Yeah. They don't even start with like the music that I'm used to. Hello, fellow gamers and welcome to the video gamers podcast. Video games may be our favorite past time, but it doesn't mean they don't do things

that aggravate us, make us complain, and all around just go, what the heck, man? Well, if you

haven't guessed on this episode, we're going over all the things that suck about video games.

2:16.2

But first, some introductions are in order.

2:20.0

I am your host, Josh, and I hate when people are always late to everything.

2:25.9

No, I didn't bring that up for any specific reason at all.

2:29.6

It's Ryan.

2:31.6

We've gone over this many times, my friend.
