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

There's more than 5 hours of gameplay.
I finished the game in 26 hours so personally I had 18 hours of gameplay if you count around 8 hours of cut scenes.

Now I am on my seond play through in hard mode ( Big Boss hard) and skipping every cut scenes and with no continue. I am closing on 3 hours and still in Act2

You can beat the game in 4-5 hours but you need to be a real pro ( required for the hardest emblem).

 

 You must be terrible at video games. My roommate beat the game on the second hardest difficulty and the final play time was 18.5 hours. He actually finished the game at 17 hours but after the final cutscenes and credits the clock stood at 18.5. So I guess there is a 90 minute cutscene. Check your save time after the final boss and then the time after all the credits are done. 90 minutes ouch. He is a PS3 fan and even he said he only played for about 7 hours including dying and restarting. I really don't know if throwing in a mediocre multiplayer gives this game a 10.

Wait wait, so embracing a game and choosing perhaps to, I dont know, EXPLORE the levels for things Kojima has undoubtedly hidden around the place instead of going straight to fucking destination A now results in being terrible at games?

Look, MGS4 isn't a sandbox game but GTA Isn't the only game where more play time = better experience.
