cutscene?? He's taking about the insane animation when you fly from system to system or planet to planet. Even with the ability to knock it down a bit that the patch provided it is one of the most insane design descisions. there should be an option to just turn it off.
It was not day1 patch. It was in the next one, IIRC 4 days post release.
It wasn't frustrating especially during first playthrough, but on the second playthrough you really don't want to repeat all those cutscenes all over again.
