just skip it, that is all.

Well if you do that then you won't know what the fuck's going on, now won't you?

Actually, that's probably still true even if you don't skip them, this being Metal Gear and all...


Frankly if you strip the story away there isn't enough gameplay to justify a 60$ price here. Much of the budget, creative talent and thought went into creating the storyline and cinematics and while the gameplay is excellent it is short and in some ways archaic in its mechanics and functions.

MGS really is about the storyline, if you're not a fan of Kojima's plots then you should skip this game all together, not just the cutscenes...


so 40 hours of gameplay plus easter eggs that extend game play time like the Assasson's Creed outfit isnt worth it? So a game like Halo 2 which has been beaten in less then 3 hours is worth its price too?

 

Plus this just proves this site has a ton of people who fail at reading comprehension. 2 cutscenes = 90 minutes, not 2 cutscenes that are 90 minutes each.


 I think it's clear that you are failing at reading comprehension in this case. PSW specifically said "each" cutscene being over 90 minutes long with Edge reiterating that by saying, I quote "two in particular [cutscenes] coming perilously close to 90 minute mark". No where does it imply that they simply lumped two separate cutscenes together. That wouldn't make any sense now would it as it wouldn't constitute news considering even MGS2 has two 40 minute cutscenes that if added together (for some inexplicable reason, why on earth would you add two random cutscenes together to prove a point?) would roll in close to one and a half hours. If you add two and two together, being PSW and Edge it becomes quite clear that we are talking about two separate 90 minute cutscenes here.

 Also, I am  baffled by you mentioning "40 hours gameplay plus easter eggs". Have you played past MGS games and have you actually been following previews for the finale? Reviewers have all mentioned the gameplay time being around 10-20 hours with 9 hours of cutscenes bringing the total play time to between 20-29 hours.
