In one sense I agree with him a little bit, there are a lot of games out there that have cutscenes just so they can say "Gripping storyline!!!!1!!!11!1!" on the back, but there are plenty of games out there that do cutscenes in a really great way. MGS2, ICO, Resident Evil 4 [Press A+B button OR DIE!!!] and...Katamari Damacy. Those cutscense were awesome. My point being, though, that if you do it right, cutscense can compliment the game without getting in the way.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
