MGS4 -9 hours of cinematics, 21 hours gameplay=30 hour game. Good or bad?

9 hours of cinematics is bad, yes. 9 hours of Hideo Kojima scripted cinematics is even worse.

Amen. Anyway, I'm actually slightly encouraged by that number. I was expecting hours and hours and hours of cutscenes with little gameplay.

Maybe Kojima has learned to restrain himself a bit? We can always hope.

You realize that 9 hours is almost as much as mgs2 and 3 combined? Its just that mgs4 has a lot more gameplay if the 21 hours is true.

That's what I was referring to. I don't remember MGS2 being very long at all. Overall, the ratio seems reasonable to me and I can always skip them if they annoy me (though I probably won't... I hate skipping cutscenes even if they're bad).
