The game is about 20 hours long, which includes about 5 hours of cutscene.ssgt splatter said:
You should probably actually play it then before making statements like this since the game is more of 3:1 ratio of gameplay to cutscene. It's cutscene heavy in act 1 and act 5 since that's the beginning and... end of the game. But there is plenty of gameplay, bossfights, sandboxing, etc. People exaggerate and then the internet and all the xbox goons run with that exaggeration until you have people spouting off nonsense like the game has more cutscene than actual game. It's just not true. Even with all the cutscenes removed the game would still be around 15 hours, which is longer than alot of other games on the market. That doesn't even include all the sandboxy fun you can have just screwing around.silver scribbler said:
This is actually completely untrue, the scene where snake is smoking/spewing random facts is during the game installation (the first time you load the game onto the system). In between chapters there's a really neat interactive psuedo-cutscene where you're onboard Otocon's plane/flying fortress thing and you can either listen to the conversation or screw around with the remote cameras and robots (this is actually how you unlock some of the easter eggs). I'm amazed by how much false info gets thrown around on this forum.Deathkingo said:
PERFECT! I loved the "I sense something. Something I have nor felt since..." Line, I thought I was the only one that still remembered it
Your long rant has nothing to so do with the fact that the aiming hardly differs from COD. In COD it's L1 to ironsight R1 to fire, In MGS L1 to aim, R1 to fire, triangle is to ironsight. Pressing one extra button never bugged me throughout the whole game, and if really gets to you that much, then you should probably just play something else.Rigs83 said:
I thought Ocarina of Time and Call of Duty 4 were actually pieces of crap. I've never played them, but I just assume they're terrible.silver scribbler said:
OT: Very funny. Its nice to laugh at a game you love every once in awhile.
I think you misunderstood me slightly, although my post did probably come off a bit idiotic. What I meant was I haven't played it all the way through, I've played it a bit, and what I played I actually really enjoyed. All I was really trying to say is I think Hideo Kojima, from what I've heard about the number/length of cutscenes, has gotten a little too story-heavy.Armitage Shanks said:

And with the fact that MGS also has a unique and awesome CQC system, running and gunning wasn't exactly the main point of the game (of course, still possible and easily done). So complaining about one more button to go into ironsights, which really isn't necessary because the normal aiming is just fine, is silly.
Also, what's with all the people complaining about the cutscenes? There's tons of good game inside MGS. It's not like every other second another cutscenes pops up. Lots of games do random cutscenes that don't really matter at all, like the camera pans to something of some importance (when you could easily find it yourself) and then simply brings you back into the game. Last time I checked, MGS doesn't have any of those. If there's a cutscene, it's important, or has something good to show.
I turned to my friend while we were watching it and said it just before it was said in the video. Still funny.jboking said:
I'm sorry you guys had to try to make this funny. To all the people who mailed them to do this game, please do not ever suggest another game again. PLEASE.
Never played the MGS series, but enjoyed the month long antics about it's latest movie.
Actually, what I most enjoyed about this month was poking fun at scenes that weren't just at the start of the game. I know the start is where the better cutscenes usually take place, but I still think you'd be able to do some midpoints, or even endings, to games with a spoiler warning for those that will complain.

Dude, if ONLY there was just 3 hours of cutscenes in MGS4 as the total run of cutscenes (not including many codec conversations) is about the same length as the running time of entire season 4 of Lost, only get this... it is even MORE convoluted and hard to follow.
I recommend MGS3: Subsistence if any MGS game, or if you don't mind the retro graphics, MGS 1, there's also MGS: Twin Snakes which is a remake of MGS1 with better graphics on gamecube. Can't vouch for it's quality though.
You can very neatly avoid both MGS2 and MGS4 (which I believe are the weakest in the series) as those two games plots tie into each other a lot but not so much with MGS1 or MGS3. MGS1 and MGS3 go together well, tell a very different and much more (for Kojima at least) down to earth story.
