So apparently MGS4 has multiple cut scenes that approach 90 minutes in length.

I've never minded the fact that you spend just as much time watching a MGS game as you do playing it, since the cinemas are of such outstanding quality that you might as well be watching a real movie. Just bring a Snickers.

Holy shit lol.

[Tyche]

There's no way in hell I'm getting 90 minutes of alone time to watch a video game.

[Maxxthepenguin]

Anyone who thinks 90m isn't excessive seriously must not like playing games...

[Kuya]

90 minutes is definitly excessive, i just hope it's either a typo or that the 90 minute cutscene is the final cutscene, and that it will be awesome.

Wrong again.

Call it an interactive artistic-endeavor. Kojima's creations are not your typical run of the mill (du jour if you wanna) gaems.

Anyways, at least they can be skipped. The "scenes" are not codec convos, emirite? <_<

Quit being retarded. The cutscenes better have a fastforward button. No way i'm going to sit through an hour of bullshit just to watch snake die at the end.

[Charismatic]

I didn't know we were the same person.

[Deejay]

We're not, but since when has your opinion weighed more than the overwhelming majority of gamers who don't have the time to sit through movie length cutscenes. I'm sorry, but 90 minutes is retarded, even if it's only the last scene.

[izembo]

since when do you count as the majority of gamers?

90mins sounds pretty nice, and im not even an mgs fan

[Charismatic]

I wasn't aware that the opinion of the majority outweighed anyone's, especially since this is already set in stone basically.
There isn't anything you can do about it.

I simply don't agree that it's retarded, I'm not going to try to push my opinion on you like you're doing to me though.

Oh QQ moar. I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone, I'm saying that the idea is stupid.

An overwhelming majority of gamers didn't finish Xenosaga because the cutscenes were too long. The longest didn't even sniff an hour and thirty minutes. Mind you that was an RPG, too.

MGS4 is an action game so a majority of the people will be skipping scenes anyway, but the thought of having to sit 90 minutes just to witness the final moments is retarded. Like I said earlier, I pray this game has a fastforward option.

I dunno, maybe it's the whole "quit being retarded" thing... but, you know, it sure as hell looks like you are.
Really, it does.

But whatever, you're just saying the idea is stupid, right?

[Jefe]

I don't know what the fuking fuss is, any person who's played the MGS saga knows what they're getting into. It's not like Kojima just decided to pull that idea out of his ass. Don't like it? Skip them or don't buy it and save yourself the agony. Get wii fit or w/e instead :3

[Exoduso]

okay okay let me get this right... you guys won't play MGS4 if it has long scenes? Or what, you'll skip those cutscenes?

Give me a break. Stop bickering over everything. -_- It's probably the final cutscene or some shit.

[Xavier]

I wasn't looking to start a fight, just posting some news. I personally don't care how long the cutscenes are, because MGS is known for some awesome cinematic storytelling. Definitely excessive but as long as they're well done, who cares? I just know that I'll be pausing my PS3 quite a lot.

[Tajin]

Holy shit, I'm probably the only one who thinks that completely AWESOME.

Wrong; (*'-')/

okay okay let me get this right... Deejay won't play MGS4 if it has long scenes? Or what, you'll skip those cutscenes?

Oh, ok, nobody gives as shit about Deejay.

Fixed.

[Deejay]

When did I say I wouldn't play it because the cutscenes are too long?

If you're going to talk shit cool guy, at least take the time to comprehend what i'm saying.

A normal person isn't going to sit through a 90 minute cutscene no matter which way you slice it. Hell, I know people who can't even sit through 5 minutes of credits before hidden scenes in films.

But wait, I forgot.... We're not dealing with normal people in this thread, just a bunch of fags who cry/man the harpoons if anyone dares speak bad about MGS.

[Tyche]

My MGS schedule will go

Watch 15 minutes, pause
tell baby to get the hell away from TV
Watch 15 seconds, pause
Momma comes in the room to bitch about me punishing baby
watch 15 minutes, pause
feed baby
watch 15 minutes, pause
put baby to bed
finish movie >.>

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, because it's not for an overwhelming majority of gamers. It'll just be incredibly difficult to enjoy something I'm pausing every few minutes. Hopefully the long cutscenes will be precluded with some kind of notification so I can wait til I know I have an hour and a half to dedicate to it.

[Xavier]

Why is there so much hostility on this page?

Did anyone forget that MGS2 had 45 minute cut scenes? 90 minutes is quite long but it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has played the Metal Gear Solid series before, a series known for lengthy dialog segments. I'm sorry that you're getting so angry at people defending the length, but if you like the MGS series, you're used to sitting around twiddling your thumbs for lengthy periods of time while the characters lecture to you about the nature of DNA.
