Cant skip these extremely long cut scene

I am unable to skip the cut scenes. They seem to give me a loading message but it then it plays for another 5 minutes or longer I'm guessing. After a few minutes I go do something else then check back and it's still playing. I can't play this game because of this. I have access to 10 hours but I was going to outright buy it until I noticed half of my time would be spent on a cut scene I cant skip.

What's the deal.

    Hello @purelyw 

    I`ve just tried to play the campaign myself and cut scenes allow you to skip them with the space bar, right after the game level loads. So I don`t know, maybe this is the feature of the trial version of the game. 

    Cheers,

    Same here.

    I tried the 10 hour trial and I'm sure half of it was cut scenes and I was not able to skip them either.

    I'm not buying it because a single player campaign is important to me and since this is a 5 hour campaign...that's more like 2.5 hours playing.

    What proof is there that the cut scene stops after the level loads? Just because it says "loading" once you press the space bar? I've searched many places and there is just people like yourself stating that it is "loading". No way it should take that long load. What I am looking for is an answer from EA and to know if this is what their games will be like because I'm not into watching cut scenes. I am pretty sure the cut scene took longer to complete (and I pressed the space bar right away) then for me to finish the mission with the tank. It is ridicules for me but I see other people saying "they don't mind". Well, I do mind and if this is their new model just tell it straight and I will know to avoid them.

    If in fact it is just loading, having a level load for 4 minutes or whatever is still a deal breaker and I have a descent rig and I own and play most new games.

    I think they are just making us watch the cut scene by preference so I am voicing my opposition to it.

    @mckrackin5324 Yea, I figured as much. Thanks for sharing. It really is disappointing. Gameplay was fun and the graphics were great. Allot of improvements from previous games but being force to watch long cut scenes is a deal breaker for me.
