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'll be honest, the cutscenes are frickin long.

But it gets a pass since it's a Kojima game.

Just what I wanted..

Why....?

Why would anyone want that?

I was falling asleep just listening to that old guy talk about "tanks with legs" in MGS3, and that lasted less than 15 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of the games though I guess....but still. Don't you think that's a bit much?


 That's because the cutscenes in MGS3 save a few were slightly boring should I say. But the ones in MGS2 were far more gripping even after 40 minutes of exposition and I think MGS4 will have the same kind of dialogue. 90 minute cutscenes for me is exceptional, MGS is the pinnacle of video game storytelling for a reason.

yh to distract you from the bad graphics and crappy gameplay

 


Yeah that's exactly why it didn't get lower than a 8. Dumbass.

Isnt 1,5 hours cutscenes way too much?? and there are two of then, granted one of them is problably the endscene.

Xenosaga for example are one of my favorite game/s and they have alot of cutscenes also but none of them are that long, even if I did find the cutscenes to be great for the storytelling I did sometimes get annoyed when they where longer then 10 minutes.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

Why on earth would anybody want this in a game? That's the length of a movie. I thought the purpose of games was to play games not watch them. Metal Gear fans are a strange breed.

I think this proves yet again that MGS series is not for casual or people with A.D.D

 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.
