Because there was a time when cut-scenes were a reward, like a great endind instead of a dull : YOU WIN - PEACE WAS RESTORED - CREDITS.... And in this cas, I like it. There was a time where the face of characters were not detailled enough to show emotions, but it's not true anymore. IMO, the worst thing about cut-scenes is that they often try to turn video games into movies, which they aren't. The base of a movie is "watching". The base of a game is "playing". So if you have to show/tell me something, do it while i'm in command, rather than during cut-scenes ! HL2 was pretty good at that, but it requires some narrative work, which developers rarely do.

I keep hearing that, and I keep disagreeing. No matter what if there is a story being told, you are not in control at that moment. I prefer the story to look as nice as possible. There are things you can do in the cutscene that are not gameplay animations. I don't want all of the story being told to be limited to gameplay. Kojima combines cinematic experiences with gameplay. There is no reason games should have to shy away from using movie elements, in my opinion. I like both.
