PS3 Fanboy

Ugh. I know that this is an optional feature...... But if I were to play through the game, I can't help but feel awkward knowing that the option to cheat is there.... It'll tempt me the way Satan would tempt a priest into a brothel.
I could be the president of an anti-cheating campaign, and yet, I'd be curious to demo the feature, just because it's been implemented and it's there....

Terrible.

An exceptionally odd (read: stupid) idea since in this day and age you can find a walkthrough online within days of the game's release. Why flat-out SKIP chapters of the game when you could at least derive some satisfaction from getting though a tough part with a little help?

Despite some impressive engine tech I've got a bad feeling about this game. I think people will be more disappointed than they were with Deus Ex 2. I'm getting that same vibe.

Sounds like the stupidest idea ive heard in a while, and ive heard plenty... im usually responsible for most!!

Whats wrong with giving clues, like Uncharted, it might ultimately mean that people get further than their own short-attention-spanned mind would have got them, but it has to be better than just having a FFWD button where you just skip everything.
Hints/Clues if you need them, is one thing, allowing you to just ignore the entire challenge of a game just seems a complete waste. If they gave the option of a clue every min or 2 where your stuck, each one giving slightly more help, at least then theres the feeling of actually acheiving something.
I cant believe someone would cater for a generation of people who want things but cant be bothered to put the time in to do it themself.

hey you people are to quick to judge. this could actually be good. like maybe u wanna play a second time and u hated a certain chapter you just skip it. instead of doing chapter select and going through all these menus at the main page. just skip that one.

but i would never use it becuase i was stuck

err....I actually see this as a good feature, I mean, there are many people that get stuck and just find it frustrating and don't get to enjoy the rest of the game....what's better, to stop playing a game while you are the half of it, or miss just one chapter?

Hey, Star Craft is considered one of the best games in history, and yet it also had the option to skip chapters....

AND ITS JUST AN EXTRA FEATURE, if you don't want to use it, then don't...why are people getting upset about this? HOW is this upsetting? the game, with or without it, will still be the same, if you want the challenge, then don't skip the chapter.....

not good..its just like when I installed CWcheat on my PSP everytime I was stuck on a puzzle/boss battle I used cheat codes..it took away all the fun and I ended up ruining some great games like Jeanne D'Arc and FFT for myself..

I don't see why people are complaining. It's there if you want it and if you don't... then don't use it. I am sure there will be an achievement for those who didn't skip any part.

OMG thank god! the N4G site said that this was Xbox exclusive xD yaaay! im guessing im getting confused with some other game

This is actually a very good feature, there's clearly more casual gamers then hardcore gamers, and it's the casual gamers that typically just never play the game again when they get stuck, so it's a nice thing to have.

I wish more games had this option. There have been a couple games I never finished due to a level or boss battle I couldn't get past. The shame of it is, I would really enjoy the game up to that point. But getting so frustrated that you just quit is not fun. And that's why I play games, to have fun.

well , I think that this will factor into the game somehow in a tricky way . one such was may be ... you skip at any point your ending will be like watching 4000 hours of Spiceworld

The way i figure if this game is so tough it needs this feature...well...i dunno... maybe design it better (so people DONT get stuck) or have difficulty settings perhaps (so if its too hard they can change it on the fly)?

I dunno maybe i'm crazy.

Sounds like they're trying to make the game more "casual."

If this whole casual gaming trend doesn't die soon I'm gonna flip out.

I kinda like this, I was playing a game where I couldn't get past a given boss, I actually NEVER got past this boss and traded the game in knowing I wasn't gonna get past it. I did try.

Simmer down...No one's making you skip stuff...I've no interest in this game (sports for me), but seems like a reasonable feature to have.

They spend all this money making the game, but if chunk of the audience never gets to see it all, what was the point? This gives everyone the opportunity to experience the whole game (except the parts they skip!). Especially this series, since it seems like an interactive movie anyways, why not have skippable chapters.

Makes perfect sense to me. However, hopefully they didn't include it BECAUSE they know their game is impossible to finish!

i think this is great! there is a lot of games i quite because i could no do the stuff you needed to do to go on!

ummm... I thought that this game was NOT coming for PS3? Did I read this somewhere? Am I completely wrong on this? I know that the Playstation logo is on the website, but if you click on the packshots.. it shows 360, Wii, PS2 and Games for Windows. What gives?
