10 Video Games With LONG CUTSCENES That Could Serve Well As Movies Instead



How a game plays is, of course, a crucial aspect of any experience, but quite often (and with increasing frequency these days), the story can be just as crucial- even more so, some might argue.

There’s no single way to tell a story in a game, but more often than not, games end up employing the most direct measure- and that means cutscenes. Often, that means a lot of cutscenes. Here, we’re going to take a look at a few games that had more than their fair share of them.

    Its great time to be alive. I remember in the past cutscene graphics used to be much better than the game itself. But now thanks to games like Death Stranding, they are the same!

  2. Bruce W

    So sad that video games, these days, have more cutscenes than gameplay

  3. samjack16

    Yakuza series should occupy most of the spots

  4. Lucie

    Maybe it didn't have the very long ones, but I remember DMC5 having a cutscene like every 30 seconds. Game drove me nuts.

  5. Chirag Tushir

    Choice based games like Life is strange , Until Dawn, Detroit become human , walking dead are basically all cutscenes.

    I love MGS4. But damn if you take out the cutscenes the game is really really short

  7. Lurizan Fian

    The hideo kojima games will all have the very long cutscene

  8. Daniel Thomas

    Need to watch the list still. But something is telling me MGS4 will be #1.

  9. LP reacted d ryt way, she is fukada-jpp.monster need of over drama, or over consider ations. She don't deserve *considerationst. Lp പറഞ്ഞ പോലെ,, ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയല്ലേ ഉള്ളു, പഠിക്കട്ടെ.

    I don't understand the point of this video… You mean it's better to have multiplayer without body and soul with story, immersion and with a ton of generic characters? Gass today is the evil of the industry.

    these types of games is why i miss the 360/ps3 era of gaming, hate this graphics>gameplay era

  12. MrHous26

    Should retitle this "Games made by Square-Enix and Kojima Games."

  13. Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy, 2 Franchises who were the pioneers of Storytelling in video games, and that made video games more cinematic. No surprises that they are on this List

  14. Chaos Ordeal

    A list of games to avoid, IMHO. Cutscenes is TV, not games.

  15. Mister Pockets

    Kingdom Hearts 3 better be here that game was basically 10 pixar/disney movies in 1 game

  16. Lil Panda

    Most ps games would make this list they’re pretty much all movies haha

  17. C

    You forgot rdr 2

  18. DashCourageous

    I watch playthroughs for the story cutscenes. Could give a sheet about the play unless the player is really bad, which interfere with the story.

  19. F F

    Final Fantasy 14 could make a series of movies

  20. cidXsherra

    finally someone speaks of crisis core!!!! one of my fav FF games of all time!!!!

  21. Chris B

    I skip every cut scene. If a game needs to take me out of the action to tell a story I'm not interested.

  22. Mr. Faceless

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope was INDEED a great game! Wow

  23. Ss Dz

    What about The Order 1886, this game is literally a cut scene.

  24. Jason Carter

    I wonder if there is a video game whose cutscenes are so long that you could cook a 7 course meal before the cutscene finished

  25. Jotaro Kujo

    God of War 2018 should be on this list. It may not be full with long cutscenes but there's a lot of times in that game where you're doing nothing.

  26. Abdulla Ali

    This is what made me not enjoy Japanese RPGs as much as I used to. I have no stomach for long cutscenes especially when it's only people talking to each other.
