You or the host of your multiplayer session only needs to do to skip cutscenes in the popular title is press any key or button during the cinematic. This action will bring up a prompt that will ask you to confirm that you want to skip this particular cutscene. Vault Hunters can skip all of the cutscenes in the title. This means you now do not have to worry about having to sit through the opening cinematic for the 100th time with the ability to now pass through these parts available for you to take advantage of going forward.
Borderlands 2 Skip Cutscenes
Do you want to learn more about Borderlands 3 besides how to skip cutscenes? If so, be sure to check out our dedicated hub for the high-profile game or three of our most recent pieces of coverage below:
As far as the rest of the game goes, there are very few forced cutscenes like the introductory video, as most of the story is told through the conversations you have with the NPCs out in the world, and over the comm devices.
So the question is simple: Do you fine people of the Giant Bomb forums sit there and read/watch everything a game throws at you, or do you skip through the 'talky' bits in order to hurry back into the 'doey' part?
Almost never, barring replays. When I played Sekiro 3 times back to back on release, I was definitely skipping story stuff on playthroughs 2 and 3 (except for when I was hitting different paths/endings). When I replayed it again last month, I went through all the story again.
There are some extremely rare cases where I'm having a good enough time with the gameplay but am strongly disliking the story where I'll skip it on the first playthrough. I've maybe done that with 5 games ever that I actually completed.
Most recent game I did this with was Lost Ark. I made it about an hour in before I started skipping all dialogue because it was just utterly uninteresting. Of course, I stopped playing it altogether 4 or 5 hours after that, so maybe not the best example.
It depends entirely on the game. I was excited for every bit of story that I could get in PSO1. PSO2, however, lost my interest almost immediately. RPGs tend to have bits of boring, unimportant dialogue around side quests. I skip all of this filler that I can.
If it's my first time through the game? Pretty much never, unless it's a fully voiced game with textboxes. In that case, If I've read through the text and the voice actor is still speaking, I'll skip that. However, these days I usually just let the VA finish and just use the text box as a guide in case I miss something he said. I usually remember story beats a lot better doing this.
If it's a second or third playthrough that completely depends on the game. Usually, yes, I'll read/listen to the story again, but sometimes I'm just here to get to the parts I like again and if the story isn't a part I liked much, I'll skip it.
I will skip dialogue lines if I can read the subtitles more quickly than the voice actors can say them, assuming the game allows for this, like Cyberpunk and Horizon. For something like Days Gone where you can't skip a lot especially in cutscenes, I'll put up with it but I'm not super happy about it!
I'm with Rorie on this one. I rarely actually skip a whole cutscene on first play or anything like that, but I'll often skip vocal performances of lines and just progress the dialogue as soon as I've read it, rather than wait for the voice actor to finish. Generally speaking I'm just not that interested in video game stories, largely (I think) because writing in video games usually just isn't that good anyway (with the occasional rare exception).
Only on second playthroughs. At most, I might skip the voice acting if I can read faster than the characters are talking. If the writing or story are really that terrible, I'm more likely to just stop playing the game altogether (see: Outriders, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands).
I'm playing through Borderlands 2 with the voice volume completely muted. I usually mute the music and play other music or podcasts over the game instead. There are unskippable cutscenes and situations where I have to stand around while NPCs complete their dialogue, but overall it works beautifully. Really all you need are quest markers and objectives.
I never skip the story in games, that's a good chunk of what I'm there for. I'll often skip audio if they have it written out though, one of my pet peeves is games that make you listen to the full voice lines. Games without full VO suit me just fine, I'd rather just read the lines than suffer through some hammy/laboured delivery that takes much longer.
With the tool open, you need to setup the filepath to your borderlands2.exe - this is typically in your steam folders, located at .\steam\steamapps\common\borderlands2\binaries\win32 - if you cannot locate your steam folder, open steam, go to your library, right click Borderlands 2 and select properties. Go to the tab Local Files and select Browse Local Files. You have now found where your Borderlands 2 is installed on your pc.
Note: If you already have the latest version of BL2:Exodus, feel free to skip to Step 3.Download BL2: Exodus off the nexus by clicking this link. Once its downloaded, open the folder and move BL2EBeta.txt into your binaries folder for Borderlands 2. You can find your binaries folder in the same way as you did to setup your file path.

But then there's this: an especially unfortunate attempt where it is clear that the developers genuinely did spend a lot of time and effort on a game's plot. They clearly were trying for, if not greatness, at least competence. Unfortunately, many other people didn't care. The story might be ham-handed and laughable, the cutscenes might be jerky and unconvincing. All too often, though, maybe the company's only "mistake" was developing the story of a game designed around or played primarily for multiplayer, competitive, or online play. Or it attracted a lot of players to whom the metagame is the main source of enjoyment. Either way, the story goes unnoticed, since much of the player base finds it completely irrelevant to actually playing the game.
Gearbox will add a True Takedown Mode in February that raises the difficulty of the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite mission by scaling it to work for four players. Borderlands 3's level cap will also be raised to 53 from 50. After listening to feedback, Gearbox will also give players the ability to skip cutscenes.
Some games throw the player into the thick of the action without any instruction. They give the player a sword and a farewell. Other games hold their players hands and walk them through every basic mechanic for far longer than they really need to. Many games have either the option to skip cutscenes, tutorials, or generally slogging openings, at least on a second playthrough.
Not every game lets players skip the tutorial. So while a game can be fun to play and generally pretty enjoyable, getting past the opening tutorial or those unskippable cutscenes reduces their replayability to zero.
The third installment of the Golden Sun series is the only one with unskippable cutscenes and a tutorial that guides the player with great detail all the way through. This would make sense for earlier games, but not the final game in a trilogy.
There are two kinds of Kingdom Hearts fans. The ones who absolutely love the introduction areas and consider them the best parts of the games, and those who cannot stand them. What both kinds of fans can agree on, however, is that the ridiculously long cutscenes really need to be skippable, at least on a second playthrough.
Pokémon Sun, Moon, and Ultra counterparts all start out the same, but with some time variance. Lily is escaping from the Aether Foundation with Cosmog in her bag, and the employees are trying to stop her. However, this entire scene is so tedious, unskippable, and has nothing to do with the player until later in the game. It would have served better as a flashback.
Then the player has to go through a large number of simplistic tutorials that explain how to play a Pokémon. Even these tutorials are full of unskippable cutscenes, so while the games end up as amazing installments with a really engaging story, starting it out is a pain.
Though the opening to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been turned into an entertaining meme, players have gone to impressive lengths to skip it on secondary playthroughs. It has a very long opening cutscene that the player just has to sit through before they even get to their character creation screen. Then immediately after, there's even more tutorial.
The "Tales of" series has some impressive titles to its name, but they all have one thing in common that makes them so hard to replay. They have so many unskippable cutscenes early on that just take forever to get through.
Even superfans of the series bring up the same complaint time and time again. Even after the cutscenes are done, the tutorials and introductions just slog. The good news is that the majority of the games became far easier to play after those horrendous openings.
