I am making a game where I need the player to view a cutscene the first time they enter. I am trying to use DataStores to store whether they viewed it or not. However, nothing I'm trying seems to be working. The wiki isn't clear to me and I can't figure out how to use this DataStore system. What would any of you suggest to help me overcome this issue and only play the cutscene when the player first joins.

Something like this should work:
local hasJoinedStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("HasJoined")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local hasJoined = hasJoinedStore:GetAsync("plr_" .. plr.UserId)
if not hasJoined then
--do stuff if first time
hasJoinedStore:SetAsync("plr_" .. plr.UserId,true)
end
end)
