No actually its much less than that, the first cutscene is around 4 mins, while the following one is 5 mins, the rest is gameplay until ofcourse you meet with the little robot.

 

No, you're both wrong.  It's well over 20 minutes before you can play the game counting the install.  Not counting the install it's well over 15.  It's a lot of time with no gameplay.

I doubt MGS4 will change the mind of anyone who didn't like the series in the first place. I liked it in the first place and I liked MGS4, but it's an MGS game.  If you don't like MGS games, you don't like MGS4.

Well I think that this is ridiculous and shows a lack of respect for MGS lovers. They could have released it before the game was launched to make their fans happy.

And I also think that MGSIV is overhyped. I played all MGS and didn't finished this one... I'm sorry but this was boring, and filled with stupid stuff (johnny, please ...).

@naznatips

The point is, those that have never played MGS, will now get a taste of it.

Also you actually think the little commercials are going to be in the demo, from the beginning of ACT 1 the cutscene is only 5 minutes, then you begin playing, then there is a scene after that which is around 4 minutes long, then after that your done, I have played MGS4 3 times.

MGS4 is good but no way does is deserve the hype it gets, the one thing people play a game for the game does not do....be fun. Killzone 2 MP Beta is fun, GeOW 2 is fun, GT5 is fun but not MGS4.

im guessing ppl who call mgs boring just like to jump up and kill things

Well no, you don't have to be an idiot to call MGSIV stupid... It's just that the story is stupid, the black guy is boring, and well, you don't play enough. But the worst is that I really liked MGSII, it was a great game with a good story even if the end was weird.

But this one, I dunno what kojima tought but it's ... boring, and a lot of people agree with me on french sites.
