Let's face it, if you're playing FFX but you don't care about cutscenes there's better things you can do with your time.
Also of note is that in case of Sheamus, he draws a pretty clear line in regards to Bioware that he liked and Bioware he no longer likes, which is starts at KOTOR and ends with Mass Effect 2 (it also seems his personal favourites out of their games are Mass Effect 1 and Jade Empire, which is kind of unusual). The actual thing I wanted to highlight was written in 2016 too, the twenty-part retrospective on Final Fantasy X, which was also written after his fifty part retrospective of Mass Effect trilogy where he tears Mass Effect 2 and 3 a new fucking asshole (Shamus is also kind of different in that to him everything bad in Mass Effect 3 was ultimately the fault of things started and changed in Mass Effect 2, he goes to great detail in why he thinks so). The FFX retrospective also acts as a kind of companion piece to his Mass Effect retrospective, since he often contrasts the failures of ME2 and ME3 as he sees them with how he thinks FFX does it right and why it does those things right, particular examples being assumed empathy vs genuine empathy, and the mystery ghost kids). Also in regards to Codex cool creds, he also thinks Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are incredibly retarded games in terms of story (it's also pretty important to note that he considers this pretty important, since he also tears down Arkham City for this in another retrospective), doing a rather masochistic group playthrough of Fallout 4 (I don't enjoy the voiceover-playthrough sort of format in any case so I can't personally recommend it) and the five-part series of articles quite aptly named The Blistering Stupidity of Fallout 3.
