the 30 minute thing was a rumor but the ending might have clocked in that long with credits.

The total time of cutscenes, however, does add up close to 8 hours. Hideo mentions it in the "making of" disc.

Beating the game in 5 hours nets you big boss rank and there are 8 hours of cutscenes. There are more cutscenes then there is gameplay FFFFFFFFFF

I could care less if the game comes to the 360. There's just no money in exclusives (unless Micro$oft is paying you). Future "console wars" will be determined by the features built into the console, not the games themselves because I predict that exclusive 3rd party games will become rarer and rare in the next 5 years.

MGS4 is a dumb fucking game.

The story is so godawful compared to the rest of the canon.

Seriously I fucking hate that shit, I fucking hate Kojima.

I will never forgive him for those 10 hours i spent on line.

::looks down at the power symbol on his Sony laptop, it looks exactly the same as the symbol in the flash video::

While I know it's the same symbol as on many things, the power symbol on the PC is not associated with being green, while green is the 360's official colour. I'm not saying this is definitly going to be for the Xbox, but it does seem rather likely to me considering that neither the Wii or PS3 have got GREEN power buttons.

you can make fun of him for saying canon but he's right in how awful the plot was.

Interesting choice of colour then, since green isn't associated with either the iPod or MGA.

It's soooo vague at the moment, but I hope it's something that suprises me quite pleasantly...

hehe i tried to argue with gz saying that "it wasn't that bad" but then i got to the scene in chapter 4 where ocelot runs away taunting snake like a little bitch and raiden cuts his arm off and stops a battleship for like 30 whole seconds.

i just stopped caring from that point.

wasn't there a voiceover of rose being like JACK...I LOVE YOU during that segment. it was so fucking awful.

mgs2 you could argue was a postmodern work intentionally campy and strange and there's elements to support this like PRESIDENT DICK GRAB, mgs1 is just preachy anime with a hint of what's to come (i mean, PUT CONTROLLER ON THE GROUND etc), mgs3 is more like 1 but mgs4 is just badly plotted and everyone restates everything; this was always a series problem but who didn't have most of the non plot point figured out by the time they eventually touched on it. SNAKE...YOU HAVE NO CHANCE SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.

the best part of MGS4 was psycho mantis coming back and flipping out that there's a ps3 and just being like GFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FUCK YOU GUY.

I'm so pissed because MGS4 started off with a pretty good story. I really liked how Rose married Colonel and all that shit, but they just threw everything away. I kept playing with SOME HOPE THE ENDING WOULD BE GOOD.

But that was the worst part of the whole game.

A comedic tragedy... A fittind close for our tragic hero who spent his life on the battlefield. However with every ending there is a new beginning...

Dude, why are you stil arguing this? The power button on my laptop is the same green color as in the flash movie, so unless my Vaio is about to transform into a 360, I'm pretty sure this is a pretty moot point. ....the google ad at the top of the page.... it's green.... what twisted fate is in store for the 360? I just noticed my shirt has some green in it.... soon I will be on the 360.

Talking about the cutscenes in MGS4... I'm pretty sure the one cutscene topped out at over an hour. And if I remeber correctly wasn't Act 3 just nothing BUT a cut scene? I'm pretty sure one of the acts were.

no but I think act 3 was like really bad sneaking and then a motorcycle driving rails section followed by a boss. that was the one where the controls changed and you didn't actually do any sneaking around you just followed a guy who was whistling.

none could have topped an hour but the ending. the ending was just SO LONG. my friend came over, his mom had a snack and my mom chatted and by the time he left it was still going on. it's definitely near an hour if you count the final fight of hitting R1 as part of the cutscene.

Oh man, that sneaking part was horrendous. Especially due to how bad the AI was at times. The idiot guy you are supposed to follow would randomly decide to go THE WHOLE WAY TO THE BEGINNING of the level numerous times. And it wasn't even fun! It just felt like a chore.
