@Kosyong The numbers are misleading. Not only is this not including cutscenes and codec, which MGS is renown for, but 4-6 is standard in H&S games. They aren't long by nature, and their power comes in their replayability.
If to remove all the extra collectibles and cutsecnes from the other MGS games, you'd probably reach the same amount of hours.
