This is definitely a pain point for me. I'm used to the fact that if a game is dragging on with its cutscenes, I can just read subtitles and keep moving, so I don't spend the majority of my playtime watching and waiting, and wondering what I'm doing with my life. I'm not much of a TV watcher, the interactivity of games is what keeps me engaged, but it's hard to stay engaged through such forced slowdown and makes me dread playing through story (and feel like I have to allot an age of time to ensure I can get through a sequence uninterrupted), which is sad because I do want to see what happens, just at my own pace.
