I like cutscenes but that whole "slow walk" thing really is infuriating. I absolutely hate it.
The worst part is when you can't just take a bathroom break and return when the NPC reached its goal. They just stop and stare at you until you press walk.
Either let me play or make it an actual cutscene.
It's a lazy-ass way for exposition without having to animate or choreograph anything. If you want to cheap out make it a radio transmission or some other background voiceover.
Total number of fun hours - total number of bullshit filler hours.
Once you think of game length like that you realize most games are wasting you time. I’d rather play a 10 hour game that is all fun than a 20 hour game that has 15 hours of filler.

As an adult I count game play hours as this:
Total number of fun hours - total number of bullshit filler hours.
