Shutup geenie. You're blatantly trolling.

Also do you think that if Kojima released an animated movie called MGS5 anyone would notice? 3 hours of movies in two cutscenes is completely batshit insane. I may have to try this game out (never clocked a MGS despite owning the first one) just to see what the hell somebody does with a 90 minute cut scene.

I think this game obviously isn't for you then. Many fans appreciate the cutscene length, in fact there is an entire thread on gamefaq's taking signitures from people who are excited and joyful from the 90 minute cutscene news.

It's an aquired taste for sure and most players won't appreciate the incredibly long and self indulgent cinematics, but this is a game for the longtime hardcore fans who loved each game in the series, including the controversial MGS2. Personally I'm glad Kojima didn't sell out his vision in exchange for enormous profits this last game could and will report. His vision is unique and controversial, but he knows no compromise regardless of critical response and that is something to respect about him and the MGS series.

 I didn't say bad I merely said batshit insane. Which it is.

Frankly though, we need a bit more batshit insanity in the world of hardcore videogames - much of the hardcore is trending towards being stale - and say what you want having three hours of CGI in two of the cutscenes alone is not generic.

I'll honestly be keen to play, or at least watch, this game.
