    Long scenes....

    just finished the main quests in FC4. Due to some bad choices in the first game, I decided to start all over, but when I came to the intro, I simply had to force the game to shut down, got annoyed with the extremely long intro, wich was kinda cool the first time.

    I guess a lot of players has asked for the very same thing, PLEASE, make a patch that allows us to skip the intro + cutscenes.

    Thank you!

    Patch or mod is sorely needed, unskippable cutscenes are NEVER acceptable. You can't even pause it, you literally have to kill the process to stop.
    I don't see why it's so terribly difficult to implement an optional function that you can choose to use of your own free will, IF you so wish.

    I never get sick of watching/listening to scenes with Pagan. That guy is so awesome.

    On the other hand, Sabal is whiny and annoying and arrogant.

    And Amita...well Amita is really hot, so I don't mind watching stuff with her either.

    The only thing I can really suggest is starting up the game and walking away for a few minutes. :/

    Some insider info: The Developers have tried a few different routes on being able to skip cut-scenes (at least the first two), but there have been some technical limitations (aka, it breaks things!) So instead of breaking the beginning of the game for you, we've left the cut-scenes in there to watch them in all of their glory each time you restart the game.

    Strange that Blood Dragon is able to skip cutscenes then, yet FC3 and 4 can't....

    "Strange" is a polite word to use. It's very strange indeed. Gamers have been skipping cut scenes for decades. Please don't take this as an insult Miisty, I know you're trying to throw us a bone... but goodness gracious, the devs can't figure out how to skip cutscenes? That is quite strange honestly. And concerning. In fact, it's downright weird. But I hope it gets worked out, I like FC games and it would increase replay value for us if we could skip these... some of these are fairly long.

    Also, you can't pause or go into the menu either?? On my first playthrough I had to sit through the entire intro before I was allowed to access my settings and turn on v-sync, something I forgot. 10 minutes of screen tearing.

    They should try harder then, and then keep trying, until they fix this.

    The same could be said for several severe problems with the game though, so I think I have my answer as to why so many things are broken.

    The team is still actively working to address issues within the game. Not sure why you think they would stop.

    Perhaps, just perhaps... next time they will try to actively finish the game before scamming people out of their hard earn money? perhaps? No, to honest for UBI?
