What even is this?

You turn subtitles off by default. FINE.

But skipping cutscene just because I wanna check a msg or something. Hello?

Rant over.

Yep this happened to me just as I beat one of the bosses. Gonna have to do the level again just to watch the cutscene. Not that it's too much of an issue replaying levels when the game is this fun though

Not being able to pause during cutscenes is so dumb.

Yup, it's dumb. You can't pause cutscenes in DMC5 at all and any button skips them, so it's counting the guide press as a button.

Making a video game with non-pausable cutscenes is actually illegal in 2019.

Hopefully the monsters who did this will face justice. Assholes.

stop skipping cutscenes jerks
That's not what the thread is about. He's saying pressing guide button skips cutscenes when it should keep playing or at least pause it.

DMCV has an annoying problem i.e. you can't pause cutscenes and end up skipping it if you press start/options, that's not very 2019. I've had to restart levels because of this.

Yeah, it worked like this in the demo and I was hoping it'd have a proper pause/skip/resume menu in the full game, but... no, it just works like a game from like 2005 for some reason. I really hope they can patch it, because pause-able cutscenes should be standard in 2019.

One of the things that annoys me yeah. Used to these days being able to pause during cutscenes. Not being able to makes me sad lol.

Ridiculous. How do you capture from cutscenes then? You can take only 1 screenshot per cutscene. Amazing Capcom.

I was honestly shocked when I skipped the first cutscene when all I wanted is to pause. Stupid as fuck. I had to start the game again to watch it.

Same thing happened to me on PS4 with the options button. Really irritated me.

Five minutes after I started my wife asked me a question during a cutscene and I tried to pause it... -_-

I honestly feel insulted. All this graphics and I cannot take a screenshot of Nero and Nico badass cutscenes because fuck you that's why.

Is this even legal?

So when you want to make a screen or a vid it skips the cutscene also? Thats lame.

It's so fucking dumb. It's current year and games still do this, like wtf. I also had to restart missions because I accidently hit a button or didn't know that pausing wasn't an option.

Same problem with the PC version. I actually skipped 2 cutscenes by accident. One by pressing start, and again by pressing the steam guide button. Good thing all cutscenes are viewable again from the Gallery menu, but this is prett dumb

My xbox went into screen saver mode where it just dims the screen and skipped the last part of the intro.

That kind of sucks.
But thanks for the heads up.
I play on the ps4 but I presume it would work the same way there.

I'll keep my hands off the option button for sure.

Yeah, I tried to pause the intro cutscene on PC and when it just instantly skipped my immediate reaction was "Excuse me?"

Glad I did it during the intro cutscene and not a later one. Anyone remember those fearful days when you sweated at the thought of pressing pause during a cutscene cause you didn't know if it'd skip or not? I don't miss those days.

I am curious: Why does everyone have to replay the level when the cutscene was accidentally skipped? Are the cutscene not available for rewatching in the main menu? At least the story important ones are.

But I agree. This was pretty annoying and I skipped a cutscene as well. I hope they will fix that somehow.

Speaking of potential bugs, I keep getting a "starring DMC crew" notice that doesn't go away. I'm a few missions in.

Also let us press a buton to continue load screens. On PC they load too quickly for me to read the lore tabs.

Can't pause on any platform, it seems. I skipped the first cutscene on PS4 on accident yesterday.

not a bug, just a bot playing named as DMC CREW, if it was a living person you'd have their nick there. It's this "cameo" feature they talked about during some missions.
