I know darth, and my point was that I never skip cutscenes. Even if I've played the game numerous times before. If I am replaying the game I still want to immerse myself and watch the story.

Then again, I don't think I could ever play through ToS 15 times.

I played Tales of Symphonia once. By the end of it, I was done. It took real effort to make myself finish that game.

I played Tales of Symphonia 2 once as well. I wasn't as disappointed with it as I was with the first one, but the stuff you can carry over really doesn't motivate me to replay it. I mean, so you can carry over abilities and powers and stuff... that's kind of nice. It's not like Chrono Trigger where there are a bunch of endings that basically require New Game + to get. All it pretty much becomes is an already easy game becoming even easier. Yay...

There's just not enough stuff to warrant a second playthrough.

Cutscene skip is great for bosses.

Usually you have a pretty hefty cutscene leading up to a boss fight, and if you die, you have to sit through it all again.

WOW REALLY!

thats quite impressive

even I skipped a few cutscenes while replaying MGS4 for the 4th time!!!!!!

Well I beat Saga Frontier like 30-40 times. Of course, each time was only was one character out of the eight and like some of them took maybe a few hours and at most maybe 10-15.

Also Suikoden II is better just look at the MOST POPULAR GAMES LIST. :D

...

It wasn't me I swear!

Ah, I just thought of an example to put things into perspective. I've beaten all 3 Halo games with my brother on co-op at least 20 times throughout the years.

I don't even know if it's possible to skip cutscenes in those games, because I never tried.

Yup.
