People blowing it out of proportion.. 72 hours is a lot of time. When's the last time you heard of a story mode taking that long? And the game doesn't end when you rescue Kaz. He's just one part of the story.

In Dead Rising

Dragon Age Origins and basically any wRPG which has a lot of side quests to distract you.

They should retroactively patch this into Shadow of the Colossus and add it to all future Assassins Creed games as well as the Last Guardian (if it releases). A game just isn't next gen until it has animals shitting themselves.

But if you're doing side quests, then you're not doing the main story.  The 72 hours is exclusive of sidequests in MGS5 by the sounds of it.

But the game still manages to create a sense of urgency which is important :)

This game will be awesome

Just for people like you, who rent the game and inevitably play it on the easiest setting, Kojima gives the opportunity to experience the entire game in a couple of days.

But that's not how it was meant to be played or experienced.

Indeed, judging from your statement, " like the last game", you clearly are no Metal Gear fan.

The fans weren't disappointed - go look at the reviews.

There was a time limit in METAL GEAR SOLID 1. People are complaining and nagging and moaning about BS again. No one has EVER taken 72 hours to finish a MGS game.

Relax your vaginas ladies. If you can shut up too then that'd be great.

Of all the incredible things on the list you people pick on the timer and the horse shit

Gaming community ftw sarcasm.

72 hours is more than enough time to save Kaz so I don't think that's going to be an issue. More than likely it's going to be just enough to concentrate on the mission while having time to smell the roses. But damn this game is building up more and more hype everytime I read about it.
