I hate this game, why does anyone play it?

Metal Gear lets you skip.

Yes, it does. But it really doesn't make sense to skip it, meaning don't expect to have any idea what's going on if you skip it.

You're outnumbered by the people who bitched me out for "not giving it a chance" I'm afraid, so I had to satisfy them (and prove them wrong that I "couldn't give it a chance") by playing it, which gave me the right to say anything I wanted about it. And it isn't a rich storytelling experience. The plot is predictable (I saw every twist coming a mile away because my IQ needs to be spoken in more than one syllable) the characters are annoying and even when the voice acting isn't full of pauses I don't want to hear it anyway. I want to smurfing skip it.

So you're claiming you're more intelligent than the rest of us because we enjoy the game? That's real mature.

It's like me denouncing your taste in music because I don't like what you listen to. For instance, I thoroughly do not enjoy rap music. But I refuse to sit here and criticize someone because they connect with it. It's art and it speaks to the person and gets them through their struggles, etc.

So, no I don't agree with your stance about getting so caught up in Tidus' voice and feeling the need to skip the scenes. But I won't tell you you're an idiot.
