Okay, to anyone bitching about the people who bitch about a 90-minute cutscene, and haven't picked up the reason for this bitching yet.
There is a reason it is called a video GAME. Interactivity should be the most important factor when making a game, not showing us a movie, we have another medium for that.
And the "MGS is known for lengthy cut scenes" argument is as stupid as anything. 90 minutes is close to a modern feature film. I'd wager that DMC4 has less than 90 minutes of cutscenes, even though it is the kind of game that doesn't want its style spoiled by limited player moves and would rather show you the really awesome stuff, while you get to play with the cool stuff. (I based this argument on the Raiden vs. Vamp battle we've already seen)
Dialogue is better excused, but if you have got to have 90 minutes of straight cutscene, than it better be something else but dialogue, else people will rip it apart.
And no, even though we have the option to skip the cutscenes, people shouldn't even be tempted to do that. If they are it is a sign of bad game design, and a 90 minute commitment to make sure you don't miss out on the story is way to much for one game.
