I am also old af, and have been devouring fantasy fiction longer than most folks I chat with online have been alive. So I don’t think cutscenes are something that “the younguns” alone enjoy. I think they are fun for story immersion. Especially if animated well (tho this is hit n miss in the EA at present).
Yeah I don't get that argument either. I will be 50 in December, and I love cutscenes. I have also been gaming since The Odyssey (that was the poor mans Atari btw).
