Can you bring up the pause menu at any point (including cut scenes).
I've always felt like a sign of a well polished game was one where the pause menu would work at any point, including during cutscenes.
The worst is when the start button instantly skips the cutscene with no confirmation/warning
Playing the metal gear collection and this immediately stood out. The cutscenes are long
Are there actually games that allow this?
Yakuza: Like a Dragon does this and I’m grateful.
Bayonetta games do. Opens a specific pause menu with skipping option.
Pretty sure Half Life 1 and 2 work that way, since the cutscenes happen entirely in game
I seem to remember even FF7 allowing this.
