People blowing it out of proportion.. 72 hours is a lot of time. When's the last time you heard of a story mode taking that long? And the game doesn't end when you rescue Kaz. He's just one part of the story.

Dragon Age Origins and basically any wRPG which has a lot of side quests to distract you.

Yeah, and the 72 hours is ONLY to rescue Kaz. Does Dragon Age's main storyline without sidequests take 72 hours? I don't think so. As mentioned, after you rescue Kaz, you can do whatever the hell you want because there are thousands of Soviets in the map.

Just answering the question. I agree for the most part that it's a non-issue, but it's not like their aren't games with ridiculously long story modes. However, going by previous Metal Gear games, I suspect it'd only take 10 hours if you didn't bother with side quests. But their are games like Skyrim where many players might not even touch the story mode and this could be a bit of a put off for them.
