Shit, you could post nearly every cutscene in Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean 4 in this thread. They're all sooooo bad.

Eternal Sonata is another game filled with awful cutscenes (spoilers):

Star Ocean 4 was the anvil that broke the camel's back, so to speak. I haven't really played a big budget JRPG since then. I'll break that streak with FFXIII, but I'm not expecting much anymore.

SO4 is easily my biggest disappointment of this generation.

At least that one was somewhat entertaining despite being long-winded and cringeworthy

The hour long cutscene where Big Mama retcons the entire story of the series >______________________________________<
The hour long cutscene in the harbor with ocelot finger shooting >_____________________________________________<

MGS1-3 cutscenes = :rock, MGS4 cutscenes =  :-\

Hell that could describe the games too!  I think Kojima really didn't want to make MGS4.

The cutscene with Ocelot finger shooting was hilarious BECAUSE of the finger shooting. It was pure MGS: all camp.

But this shit is AWFUL. It's not entertaining, it's AWFUL. Oh WE'RE DEAD. Except we're not! MERYL-SAN, WILL YOU MARRY ME?! Johnny-kun, how could you propose while we're being shot at by crazy pmc ninjas? I DON'T CARE MERYL-SAN. DIE WITH ME.

What I'm curious is, why did Kojima make a two bit side character into a major character in MGS4? No one cares about Johnny. We just want to see him be constipated and poop in a trash can because lol so fun knee.

The story is balls but the game still has a lot of hilarious camp value. Like the part where you first meet the President and he grabs Raiden's nut sack to see if he's a girl or not. :lol

You know, it was also Star Ocean 4 that killed my interest in JRPGs.  It was just so bad that I couldn't go back.  After that, everything about anime and JRPGs just suddenly hit me and seemed terrible and ridiculous.  Like, "how the hell did I ever enjoy this" kind of thing.  It's kind of sad, I suppose.  I just need something GOOD to wash the bad taste out of my mouth...

That would be great, but I don't really like WRPGs all that much either.  I can't stand the generic fantasy worlds any longer.  Stuff like Dragon Age and The Witcher hold mild appeal, for instance, but the gameplay systems aren't all that fun and the worlds just seem so dull to me.  Furthermore, MMORPG style gameplay (both online and off) is extremely uninteresting to me.

At this point only action RPG-lite titles like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect really even do anything for me (I loved those games).  The ONLY JRPG I enjoyed this generation was Lost Odyssey, oddly enough.  Not necessarily a great game, but I had a good time with it.

Maybe, maybe not. But there have been plenty of really good to great WRPGs with a decent range of settings. If they're not your thing, fine, but I've certainly been satisfied with what's been on offer. Much moreso than the JRPG scene of late.

In all honesty, though, the worst cutscenes are those late 90s/early 2000 PC game cutscenes.  In general, almost everything that was being released was fill with garbage machinima style cutscenes.  Really really bad stuff.  I mean, you can all slam the kind of stuff in MGS4, but at least the camera work and animation are oustanding.  Stuff like this, however, just looks awkward and unfinished.  There were plenty of consoles games prior to this which showcased excellent animation in cutscenes.  I'm sure the budgets are much lower here, but still.

Here's two of the worst (both from Raven)

The problem with the Metal Gear Series for me isn't necessarily how over the top and silly it can get (Although the second one was some dumb ass bullshit that utterly destroys the game). I tend to enjoy that aspect of it rather than the dry boring tone Splinter Cell has adopted in the past. Metal Gear is like a comic book and I think that is a good and solid approach.

The problem is simply the length of the cutscenes, the poor editing, and the wanna be a film nature of those games. Cut the cutscene length in half and get to the fucking point and you would have a much better experience in those games.

You know, it was also Star Ocean 4 that killed my interest in JRPGs.  It was just so bad that I couldn't go back.  After that, everything about anime and JRPGs just suddenly hit me and seemed terrible and ridiculous.  Like, "how the hell did I ever enjoy this" kind of thing.  It's kind of sad, I suppose.  I just need something GOOD to wash the bad taste out of my mouth...

Good thing there's been a lot of really great WRPGs in the past few years.

There has?

Dragon Age is a mixed bag when it comes to cutscenes. Some very good stuff. Some very weak stuff.
I haven't played King's Bounty.
There is a lot to love about Fallout 3 but none of it involves the cutscenes.

Mass Effect has legit good cutscenes and voice acting and stands way above the rest of that stuff. I wish I liked the actual game as much as the production work that was put into it.

That would be great, but I don't really like WRPGs all that much either.  I can't stand the generic fantasy worlds any longer.  Stuff like Dragon Age and The Witcher hold mild appeal, for instance, but the gameplay systems aren't all that fun and the worlds just seem so dull to me.  Furthermore, MMORPG style gameplay (both online and off) is extremely uninteresting to me.

At this point only action RPG-lite titles like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect really even do anything for me (I loved those games).  The ONLY JRPG I enjoyed this generation was Lost Odyssey, oddly enough.  Not necessarily a great game, but I had a good time with it.

Don't like Dragon Age gameplay? PC or console version?

We're talking about the games themselves though. ???

My bad then. I didn't read the post carefully and assumed it was about the cutscene quality.
