DEVS - Please allow cutscenes to not even be loaded/auto-skipped

[BodomsChild]

This is truly ostracizing PS3 players from PC players. PS3 players cannot even speedrun dungeons such as Prae due to the cutscene loading limitations. It honestly can take up to 30 seconds for a PS3 player to completely get past one cutscene whereas PC players can skip the same cutscene (including loading times) in about 2 seconds. This ends up in PS3 players getting cut out of boss fights and various other things of that nature.

This makes it harder for PS3 players to get into speedrun parties because nobody wants to slow down for them. Some common shouts I see are "PRAE SPEEDRUN GROUP, NO PS3 ALLOWED" and "PC ONLY SPEEDRUN GROUP".

If you would just allow an auto-skip feature (to where it doesn't even load the cutscene) as an option, it would truly help the community of this game. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm being belittled as a player simply because I play on PS3 - but I can't blame PC players. They want fast runs and PS3 players cannot offer that. So please fix this!

I agree.

Now, I'm not on PS3 so I can't relate.. but there should be an option where you can just turn off cutscenes, PERIOD. Just a minor quality of life change. Hook us up, SE!

It's pretty silly that you ahve to go through the same cut scenes over and over again so i +1 this.

Skip the cutscene with the SQUARE button to speed things up maybe?
I personally can accept load times given how its been streamed over the net and how im playing on an aged peice of hardware (PS3).

Sadly the only true way to speed things up would be to not even load the cutscenes at all. I literally skip them as FAST as I can, yet it still has me loading in/out of the cutscenes for 20+ seconds.

Let me kill your argument without reading your entire post.

No. This is not "ostracizing PS3 players from PC players". The **PLAYERS** are doing this. If they are being dicks and doing "PRAE SPEEDRUN GROUP, NO PS3 ALLOWED" and "PC ONLY SPEEDRUN GROUP" then don't give them the time of day. Simple as that.

This is exceptionally stupid because there is ZERO way for one player to tell another is on PS3 unless they flap their lips.

Should there be a way to skip the CS's after the first watch? Yes.
Should there be a way to skip the CS's after the first watch because if your stupid reasoning? No.

An idea can become stupid if the reason is stupid.

Let me kill your entire argument right here.

1) Yes it is ostricizing the playerbase, one group can truly speedrun and the other cant. That is a problem right there regardless of how harsh players are. PC players get priority in speedruns. Simple as that.

2) Yes, you can see who is on PS3 - They have an Online ID at the bottom when you examine them. This allows PC players to cut out PS3 players before even going in an instance.

And yet you are still wrong, it takes maybe 3-5 seconds to load on PS3, it does not slow down, hinder, or stop in anyway PC players or speed runs, the argument is stupid. We don't need anymore reasons for PS3 hate. we still have idiots thinking PS3 players "bring them down" unless waiting a few extra seconds is somehow very painful. There is no reason to exclude PS3 players for any reason unless you simply think you are better then people.

The reason is given as PS3 players and old HDD's on PC's by slower loading times. Speed runners find this to be an issue. Said people get excluded due to dated/slow hardware.

Which makes the people doing the excluding complete and utter failures at human beings, and all around douchebag elitests for choosing the least important thing to exclude someone from a run for, but wait this is the same endgame where all the toxic layers continue to encourage the other toxic players and the new to endgame players to become toxic players by being continuously rude, beligerent, intolerant, and abusive to anyone who doesn't speed-farm x dungeon exactly like they do. Discussion over.
