MGS4 cut-scenes get painful...

OH MY GOD!!!

5 minute cutscene, walk down the hallway (15 sec), 3 minute cutscene, as soon as its over 5 minute CODEC convo, then another cutscence, which leads into one of those weird cutscences, then a solid 4 minutes of gameplay, and then another 30 minutes of cutscenes, Codec convos...gahh...

Seriously...too much. MGS4 should have just been a movie.

yes we get you have add and can't sit still what else is newRagashahs

ACT 3, when Snake meets "BM" and that conversation...that was freaken 30 minutes...at least...and the part in Act 2 w/ raiden, that entire level all you did was run down a city street (took 2 minutes)....while you watched a good 30-45 minutes of cutscenes....excessive.

your first MGS? Or you just dont know the nature of MGS games..too bad you feel this way for a awesome game.SiKh22

Nope...played MGS2 and 3...they had cutscenes, but not MGS4 long cutscenes.

I like playing games, not watching them.

Cut-Scenes should not make 80% of a game.

do you understand the game so far if you don't..could be why.. I mean really understand the story.SiKh22

I understand the story, but you have to admit that it gets painful after a while....all the cool stuff happens in cutscenes...the gameplay itself seems like an afterthought.

And why give me all those amazing weapons...I swear this game has more weapons than any other game...but most of them you don't use....there's no need...your sleep thing (forgot name)...is more effective than most of the weapons.

Shouldn't you lemmings be priasing cutscenes :p

And you can hit the start button and skip the cutscenes in MGS4, you aren't forced to watch them.

that game doesn;t deserve 10!Great_Ragnarok

What Ragashahs is saying is that TC has Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (aka ADD or ADHD). When someone has this disorder, they usually can't sit still for more than mere moments at a time. They always have to do something. There's your tid-bit for the day.

No, I knew what he was saying. You have to read between the lines. I was actually commenting on the general lack of grammar and coherence in the sentence (i.e capitalization, commas, question marks...). I'm kind of a grammar nazi.

skipping the cut-scenes is dumb.

If you don't like the game and the cutscenes, you shouldn't have bought it.

Everyone knows metal gear solid is fulled with cutscenes, its impossible not to know when the series has been like that for over a decade!

So complaining about it when you bought the game is ultimately your own fault, no one elses, you should have research what you were buying, most people that hang around gaming forums don't simply walk into a shop an buy a random game, thats what casuals do.

The fact you sit here trolling proves your own failure.

I knew MGS was cut-scenes, but not to this extent. MGSIV has less gameplay than other MGS's, and way more cutscenes...

its like an interactive movie.

I have no clue how this game got a 10...I mean the gameplay is like i said before...an afterthought.

Thats an outright lie!

MGS4 has the most gameplay in the series, if you speed rush any of the games you'll find you can beat them in 4-5 hours. To wrap up the whole story of metal gear solid in 9 hours of cutscenes and on average of 8-10hours of gameplay depending how your playing style would have been hard enough for them considering all the ties they had to finish.

You could claim that any game with a story is an interactive movie...

The gameplay an after thought...

foxhound_fox

hardly, have you played it?

its a joke...you watch this amazing cutscene, where snake is doing this jaw-dropping CQC moves, then you get to gameplay...and its like...wow I can press x to jump forward, or to the side, i can punch, shoot...and that's it....the gameplay is really lacking.

Umm...many games have great stories (BioShock for example), and aren't 50% cut-scene.

Dude just admit it, the game has too many cut-scenes, even for an MGS game...and the gameplay is meh.

well there you go, you haven't played the game, how can you know?

I am a fan...always have been...but this game is just too much.

They may be long, but they are for sure awesome.ArisShadows

they are awesome, but their awesomeness does not carry into when you get control of snake.

until you've played the game yourself you won't know.

You realize you are trying to change your argument? First, you are saying you don't like the cutscenes, but know you are saying they are awesome but don't translate into gameplay. So which is it? Also, if you don't like how the cutscenes look cooler than the gameplay, but say you liked the other installments in the series, you are leading me to believe you haven't even played another MGS game before

The game has awesome cut-scenes (I never said it didn't), I'm saying thought, that they are EXCESSIVE. For every 5 minutes of gameplay, there's 15minutes of cut-scenes or non-gameplay.

It didn't, it was made for fans!

You apparently a fan and you hate the cutscenes, the story for being wrapped up for solid snakes saga!

Don't bring that junk bioshock into this arguement, dues ex and system shock 2 are great stories! That junk is extremely easy to follow, predictable and the gameplay is lackster mediocre version of system shock 2.

Your asking that a game that uses cutscenes to tell its story to suddenly change its medium of story telling to something that would translate it into having next to little story?

great idea

I'm not trying to turn this into a hateful argument, but by your logic that means there is more cutscenes than gameplay, which is false. Also, if the cutscenes are awesome, who cares is they are excessive. I looked forward to pretty much every cutscene in the game. I admittedly started skipping the codec chats with drebin after the bossfights.

You say the cutscenes are fine an dandy and then rip them, then you complain about the length.

There aren't way to many, its wraps up the whole saga of the last 5 games!

Congrats on them doing it with only 9 hours of cutscenes, you can call that excessive but for finishing everything and wrapping up the whole saga it was fine.

OH MY GOD!!!

5 minute cutscene, walk down the hallway (15 sec), 3 minute cutscene, as soon as its over 5 minute CODEC convo, then another cutscence, which leads into one of those weird cutscences, then a solid 4 minutes of gameplay, and then another 30 minutes of cutscenes, Codec convos...gahh...

Seriously...too much. MGS4 should have just been a movie.

Adonymous

But seriously who plays an MGS game and not realise it's going to be cutscene heavy?
