I never skip cutscenes, they're one of the things that make video games so enjoyable. I'm not kidding, I love the cinematic aspect of video games.

It doesn't annoy me when people skip them because they're the ones who are missing out. And if they choose to skip over critical parts of the storyline then that's their business. I think they're being impatient and stupid, but it's their choice.

Your friend is silly. You shoulda yelled at him and told him it was his own damn fault for not understanding what was going on.
