God of War Creator Hates Cutscenes

1up has a short piece talking about God of War creator David Jaffe's commentary on game cinematics. From the article: "Jaffe isn't saying players don't welcome this style, but claims it's not the best approach. 'It's almost like you appreciate the creativity but as a game it doesn't work,' he says in his latest video blog, citing Super Mario 64 as a good example of a game that works without cinematics. 'Obviously Mario 64 doesn't evoke a lot of emotion and political ideas, but it keeps you in the game.'" One of the reasons RE4 has been so well received, I think, is that it give you some interactivity during what would otherwise be a passive experience.

    You fucker. My best friend is like you, and I hate him. Anytime the slightest bit of story or plot is presented, he has a knee jerk rection to moan and try to skip it. Jesus nacho-dipping Christ... STOP THAT! ALL OF YOU! You are not tweakers. I know your attention spans have become numb and decimated by sitcoms and porn, but as much as you try to fight it, I don't think you're stupid or heartless. Story, heart, creativity - all that stuff is good. So please, for the love of fuck, stop being such a simple minded douche nozzle. Open your mind, buy some flowers, shut up, and watch the god damn story/intro movie/cute scene and enjoy it.

    Why would you skip the movie in Warcraft III?! What in the juicy mega fuck is your problem? I hate you. You are the same sperm face that talks during movies, or laughs during a scene that is supposed to be sad. Lets see YOU try to kill the Mannaroth. Lets see YOU loose a life long orc brother that was manipulated into joining the burning legion but actually is an ok guy but now just got exploded by the fierce and mighty Mannaroth, Archimondes prized assistant. Then again, you don't know what I'm talking about because you skipped the movie. You might as well kill baby animals, you mean baby animal hater. Fuck.

    I'm tired now. Oh well. FOOTBALL! BEER! BOOBIES! There. You win.
