I played Saints Row III, Deus-EX III and Skyrim recently and noticed that many of the recent titles contained combat cut-scenes. Normally cut-scenes are a good thing, like a reward for being bad@$$. But when it takes only one-two button clicks to unlock a cut-scene it takes away more than it adds. In order for me to unlock a combat cut-scene in saints row II I had to push multiple buttons at a certain speed, if I didn't I could freely control my characters actions. Sadly, when I played saints row III I only had to push one button to automatically unlock a cut-scene (the cut-scenes were cool, but I wasn't the one controlling it, I was just watching). When I played Oblivion I was in charge of my every swing.Skyrm wasn't too bad but I think the combat cut-scenes were far too frequent. I've knifed too many people in the gut with the Skyrim cut-scenes. I miss the good days where I can just pleasantly walk up to a guard.....and trip their sorry @$$ off a cliff. (And be the one to do it
). When I fight I want to play a game, not watch a movie.
