I don't get why people hate cutscenes. They ADD to the game, not take away from it. You can usually skip them, if you simply want to go on without knowing the what, why, who or where of the story. How would you really move the story forward or flesh out the characters properly without cutscenes? Would you rather have lines of text popping up as you run along, explaining where you are and what's happening? Or do you simply not need any kind of a story, because simple button mashing and shooting at everything without any particular motivation is enough?
