Am I the only one who wasn't bothered by cutscenes in SM at all? They are one of the biggest criticisms I see among people who complain about the game. I could understand they would be annoying if you just wanted to replay the game, but for a first playthrough, they didn't seem bad to me at all and they allowed me to feel a strong connection with all the characters and see them grow and develop, just like in BW which was also very story-driven.
