I used to like cutscenes.... back in the '90s when that sort of thing was still novel. Nowadays though I just want gameplay (which is why I play mostly indie games these days).

Let me be clear though: I don't mind something like a 10 to 15 second cutscene, every once in a good while, just to set things up. But when I have to sit there for a full minute or longer watching a movie, I get annoyed.

Story? I don't need story. I've heard just about every story there is to be told. Most games these days just seem like remixes of old stories anyway. It mostly just boils down to "stop the evil dude who wants to destroy everything" anyway.

I kind of miss the days when you had to imagine your own story. Or the game had a story but it was super vague and you had to fill in the blanks yourself. Games like Stela and Abzu comes to mind (which is why I mostly play games like that these days).
