>>39269595i understood that what you said was completely pointless
people almost never talk about the cutscenes being "just as bad" in the context that you are referring to
it's usually to mitigate complaints against SM having too many cutscenes in stating that the games before it also had intrusive cutscenes
so no, people almost never mean that they are "just as shitty and unfun" when they say "the cutscenes in XY and BW were just as bad" they are using it as a means to excuse the poor integration of cutscenes into the main game of SM
I'd also get into why the cutscenes from SM are worse but anon said it here perfectly
>>39269570In the end the main story along with the "cutscenes" should still be there as a thread to tie game progression and exploration together but should just be better spaced out
going from checkpoint to check point should feel like a mini-journey instead of just going to wherever the marker on the map says to go
most people probably wouldn't even mind the cutscenes if the story and characters weren't so shallow
