My altered view of MGS4 now that I've beaten it.

Do you guys really think the playtime is down around 6-7 hours? I expect to finish the game around 15 hours and at least 50% of that seems to be play time. It was 80% playtime early in the game and now it seems down around 20% play time... Overall, I think it all averages out to around 50%.

I don't see the point in bashing this game's length. It offers an enjoyable enough experience where I never got too upset about it. Plus, it has MGO if that's your thing.

The documentary that comes with the LE confirms what has been known for a while now; that there is close to 9 hours of cutscenes. If you watched all of them then you've probably amassed only 6 or so hours in playtime. The first two acts are decieving because of their more fleshed out gameplay but Act 3, 4 and 5 contains hours and hours of cutscenes and little to no gameplay.

BTW, if you've already watched the wedding scene then what's keeping you from watching the rest of the epilogue?

I haven't seen the wedding scene yet, just the proposal scene. I'm right at this part:

Snake has shut down GW, was knocked unconcious after the Naomi video, and woke up on the ship with Otacon.

Really though, 9 hours of scenes? Wow, they seemed long but they didn't seem that long.
