Post My plea to Spicy Horse
Oh, mighty Horse of Spicyness, wilt thou give us the ability to pause cutscenes? I ask in the name of those who need to use the bathroom, of those who have evil pets, of those whose television is suddenly interrupted with "HI! BILLY MAYS HERE!" I ask.... for humanity...

... I thought about this long and hard, and you're going to have to give me some kind of heads-up here...


What OTHER game has the option to pause during cut scenes? I'm rackin' my brain, but I can't think of one that doesn't either ignore the user input or accept user input as a signal to by-pass the scene.


Examples! I want proof!

I thought Mass Effect did, maybe I"m wrong. Pyschonauts may have as well, I'd have to think about it (and/or replay it).

Spongebob Squarepants: Lights, Camera, Pants did, and I think maybe Sonic Heroes. I also think Super Mario Brothers did.

Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts II (can't remember if I did) both let you pause. I assume most of the MGS games have pause buttons in cutscenes, too, for obvious reasons.

Basically, games where the cutscenes are important, and I'd say they're pretty important in Grimm.

I think almost every modern game I've played with lengthy cutscenes allows for pausing.

Shadow Hearts and Xeno Saga off the top of my head, and Xeno Saga is just a movie with mini games in between scenes...

It's an option that I'd love to see done more. Playing MGS on the PS1 back in the day, you had keep that extra 20 minutes open, just in case a cutscene popped up.
