Because poor direction/collaboration. Developers who pull this shit think that a cutscene turns a video game into a movie.

One way to look at it is as plot armor. The shots they take are glancing blows or misses outright until the very last/cutscene hit.

Its the game subtly telling you that you are so shit that the beating you are taking during gameplay is non-canonical and the protag is actually gud unlike you lmao.

Does anyone have the version of this gif where it starts zoomed in on Rick's face and pans out?
It's reversed from the original flow I see, where the camera starts panned out and zoomed in.
