a film length CONCLUDING cut scene strikes me as a bit excessive
but what do i know maybe its totes worth it
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 19 June 2008 20:24 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, it was about 90 minutes. but really good. i'd rather have a really long cutscene ending than "YOU WON, NOW PLAY AGAIN" or whatever.

getting to watch a cool movie as a reward doesn't seem entirely that bad of an idea to me, as long as there's no big surprise ha-ha-you-wanted-to-get-up-to-eat-or-pee-or-something and now you have to sit there for a number of seconds possibly in the four digits and your pause button has ceased to work
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 19 June 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link
you can pause durring all cutscenes. also, if you get bored you can zoom in and out to make it look like snake is on mtv.

I'm about 9 hours into the "game" so far. Really surprised by how much of that has been looong cut-scenes and just how little gameplay there has been. The cut scenes are indeed some of the best I've ever seen, but it's just not right to turn on a game ready to play and instead end up watching fifty minutes of movies just to get to ten or twenty minutes of gameplay, then hit another huge endless wall of movie.
― Jeff LeVine, Sunday, 22 June 2008 07:50 (fifteen years ago) link
My guess would be that of the 9 hours of playing the so called game, there has been three hours max of gameplay
― Jeff LeVine, Sunday, 22 June 2008 07:53 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't want to go into details in fear of spoilers for some people I know who read this board, but, wow, possibly best wrap-up ending for the series and the character of Solid Snake possible, really exceeded my expectations.

you know i really like this game but sometimes, like right now, i feel like i cannot watch any more cutscene. god. there is a cutscene on right now. i have already gone to the bathroom, gotten something to eat, eaten it, gotten caught up on this thread, and drebin is still running his fucking mouth.

I am in Act 2 now (Matt D lent me his PS3 which is awes, I can play the one or two games and not think about PS3 again until 2018 when FFXIII comes out). Not sure how I feel about the game so far. I really miss the MGS1/2 puzzley corridor-filled gameplay vs. this new camouflage-y openish area stuff. Plus the cutscenes my god. Normally I am the least angry peson about cutscenes, but the thing that's really really killing me is CODECS WHERE IT DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A DUDE'S FACE ie. the 10-minute codec speech from Drebin. Seriously I know people were mad because the other games didn't explain enough but it feels like this one is trying to explain too much. Show me your crazy, kojima, don't just write me a book and get a voice actor to read it.

Tonight I realized I only ever played the online portion of this once (after getting very frustrated just with the rings you had to set up an account), so anyway, I thought I should give it a second chance. Put it in for about an hour - played some deathmatch, team deathmatch and a sneaking game. Unfortunately, first impressions remained accurate. MGO is terrible! Probably the worst multiplayer game I've ever tried. How could one create a shooting game, where the shooting is so awful is something I'll never understand.

It would seem there is only five more hours before an MGS 5 announcement:
http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next/
― Mr Raif, Thursday, 21 May 2009 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link
someone checked out the source code - apparently there's a new countdown every week until E3. apparently the last one runs out during Microsoft's big address, so lots of ppl think MGS4 is going multiplat (which would be ridiculous due to the storage requirements, although I guess it could just have you install 20GB of it).

― zinguist (cozwn), Thursday, 21 May 2009 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
so what's on the thing now is a gloomy landscape with rain, a big 5 in the background, and a clock, currently, counting down 100 hours and 30 minutes.

if I didn't know any better I'd almost think this whole promotion was a giant waste of time.

I loved 3, but 4 was disappointing - I've yet to even bother with finishing it. There's no reason it couldn't come out for the 360, reworked slightly and put on several discs. For whatever reason, I'm not too sure it's going to happen. Probably a weird Japanese reason. Looks like the announcement would be for the 5th game, but honestly, I don't care anymore. Series should be put out to pasture.

I'd rather see Kojima make another ZOE or just move on to something else.

Thanks for that image. I just went back to the site and it looks like the countdown restarted. Man, I really need to get moving on this "buy a PS2 so I can finally play Snake Eater" plan.

Pages from the new issue of Famitsu have leaked and it looks like the next picture to appear on the countdown will be one of a one eyed, ninja cyborg Raiden
It's not that i'm tired of Metal Gear, i'd just like to see Kojima take his batshit insanity to new places before making another MG. In many ways 4 was a step forward but every step of progress came with a step back, i guess you could argue that that's MG entire history though, for everything that's amazing about it there are incredibly frustrating things about it too.
