Why don't you all whiners skip those cutscenes? Last time I checked, there was an option to do that...

Well I like MGS cutscenes, usually

MGS3 was pretty great, though long-winded in a lot of places

But is skipping the cutscenes an option in one's first playthrough? Do they not sometimes impart some necessary knowledge, as in every other game in the miniseries (MGS)?

Oh god, now I never thought that someone would actually want skip them during their first playthrough. Well if they can't sit through few minutes of awesomeness, there is no hope for them.
