every cutscene that is just characters talking is short, efficient, and even mostly well acted
all of the cutscenes with samus' monologues are long, boring and shitty
I really hope in subsequent playthroughs that you can skip them
my initial impressions;
Bad:
- cutscenes are long and boring
- samus' voice actor is terrible
- ridley looks dumb (haven't gotten to him yet but I've seen the screenshots)
- environment design isn't bad but it's no Metroid Prime either
Good:
excellent controls
fast move speed makes me happy
fighting things is fun
uh Samus has a pretty well developed character
also I am not looking forward to cutscenes and character development because this is not really a thing that Team Ninja has ever been good at
I don't think I've ever even seen a critical finish happen in sc4 maybe that is because I play with people who are actually good at the game instead of with people who spend the entire time losing and complaining that the game isn't as good as Marvel vs King of Guilty Gear 12 Tournament Moe Edition
