If we expect a game to surpass our expectations, and it surpasses them, has it met them?Overall I think this game will surpass our expectations(which are really high)
Well, yes you probably could skip it, but seriously.... unless your re-playing it, why would you want to? It's a story driven RPG, the cut-scenes play a big part in making the story unique and interesting. If you just wanna run around and kill things then by all means skip the cut-scenes, but you will be missing out on one of the games best aspects.
You do realize that his new gameplay is a edited video of gameplay highlights ? So you can really judge how many cut-scenes will be in game.One of the game best aspects?? I don't mind cut-scenes but what's show us so far, it has to many.. You play few minutes, then you watch Geralt few minutes, then you play again few minutes, then another watching.. I wanna PLAY all time, not to watch Geralt every few minutes.. I wish those conversations would be on gameplay level, you approach NPC, and you start talking, few questions, few answers and that's it.. To camera stays on you controlling Geralt all time, especially when you entering inn like in this last video.. On the last 35min of gameplay, I was watching Geralt talking to Djikstra for one minute, then few minutes with Johhny, and then after Johnny regain his voice there was almost 6-7 minutes talk with him and his Grany.. Then that cut scene with elder in that village, then when you kill that source of evil, and after that all cut scene until the end of the video.. So in this quest of 37minutes of gameplay, I spend over half time just watching the game.. I don't know for you, but to many cut-scenes (and long one too) kills fun for playing it..

2. Some flat textures: Like many already said, that brick wall looks so flat, texture is really nicely done but it needs a bit of depth.

Thought I'd let you know that one of our environment artists came in to work extra early today and tinkered a bit with all of the brick walls. I can thus proudly report the issue of the sub-par quality walls fixed.

Besides if you don't enjoy cut scenes and dialogs, probably this game is not for you.
Don't get me wrong, I love great story and dialogs, in fact Witcher series are my top favorite games! I also read all Witcher books, and already bought W3, so telling me that this isn't game for me, you are definitely wrong! Just saying, as Rocquito confirmed too, that there is to many meaningless and unnecessary cut-scenes that aren't improtant to watch and it kills fun for player because he becomes spectator not the player!
