>actual gameplay: 7 hours
this seems way too generous of an estimate

you may go ahead

I started Xenosaga a week ago and it feels like 6 hours of uptime have been occupied by 3 hours of cutscenes,
a third of which are the slightly too-long pauses between lines of dialogue or sluggish character animation.

If you aren't trying to speed through on a big boss completion, 7 hours is possibly underselling MGS4's gameplay length.
Compared to MGS1-3 which you can casually blitz through in an hour and change, 4 has more "game" to it mostly thanks to more scripted on rail sequences

Kojimbo invented the skip button for you

>dorks like to brag about "media literacy" with video games
>can't even sit and watch a few cutscenes
filtered so hard by godjima.

>>750147749
And out of those 7 hr you got only 1-2hr of real gameplay, rest is just on rail shooting and walking

For me it was more like
>10-12 hours cutscene
>4-5 hours gameplay

>>750149290
few? A FEW?

Only good parts of MGS 4 were acts 1 and 2 (minus the on-rail shooting part) and MGO 2

Even with 7 hours of gameplay mgs 4 is a Kino of the highest order, won't be replicated ever again by anybody so yes learn to enjoy the damn cutscenes!

>>750147749
That's wrong. There was 30 hours of cut scenes and 30 minutes of gameplay.

You had the awesome multiplayer back in the day(with fan servers now) but this game really needed vr missions like 1 and 2 had where you could exploit the mechanics to the fullest.

who cares about normal? mgs4 is ludo AND kino

You’re genuinely insane if you think you can “casually” get through MGS2 in less than 2 hours, speedruns notwithstanding.
I busted my ass for Big Boss rank and even then ending up at like 2:15 after skipping all the cutscenes
