When did cut-scenes become a pain in the butt?

My least favorite type of cutscene is when characters do awesome stuff that we're never able to let them do during gameplay.

Jack of ME2, I'm glaring at you. Especially that Shadow Broker footage.

when they stopped 2000% better quality than the actual game and it was shithard to get to them, made harder by the lack of them. i loved watching them in the old Final Fantasy games because they looked so epic compared to the gameplay, plus they were like at the end of a long mission chapter or the start of a new one. my favourite has to be when i first met Irvine in FFVIII because the scenery is so good. it was in a cracked.com article two days ago.

Ah, I can still enjoy cutscenes but I usually have to crank up the game's difficulty so I don't get bored. If there is plot going on that's intresting then I like watching.

From what I've heard, Metroid Other M does cutscenes and overall story badly. Then again, I've never played it myself, which was why I bought it. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive.
