Am i the only one who misses cutscenes?

[Papa Beerpool is back(ish)]

There it is...i said it. I love this game...but the reason i love MGS so much is it's cinematics...
I know Kojima wanted this to be a "personal" experience, No cutscenes, Snake almost a mute so "we feel like we are BB"...
But c'mon... -.-

[Kozzy]

Someone must have missed the long intro/tutorial...
Not as many cutscenes as mgs4, but so what? The gameplay is far better, graphics are better and its more fun.

This is the best MGS game since MGS3 imo. Own every mgs games and imo this one is up there with the best of the series imo.

As much as I loved the cutscenes in the older MGS games, I gotta admit I like the new approach better with less intrusive cutscenes and focusing more on an in game narrative. Besides, people used to ♥♥♥♥♥ incessently about the MGS cutscenes prior, with Guys like Yahtzee Croshaw ripping MGS to pieces for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3vPq047-8s

His opinion has spread and it seems like everywhere I go there are jokes about the MGS cutscenes lasting longer than the gameplay. This kinda kills that harsh criticism though, and the added freedom the game gives you means that the cutscenes that are in the game only measure up to a percent of the time you play as opposed to 1/3rd of the game being filler.

Honestly it's a great system imo.

I love the gameplay. But.. When I first play MGS when I was 8 I thought damn... This is like a movie. And same with the rest of MGS's. The most strong point MGS offered was it's cinematic feeling. And now... It's gone. Yeah...i feel like I am doing it...but I rather watch 30 minutes of cinematic of a cyborg ninja pwning robots and lore explanation than watch 30 secs of cinematic and asking myself what the heck just happened and keep tranqing Russians...Dont get me wrong...i love this game...But this gameplay with open world + intro/midgame/ending cinematics during a mission.... Would be the MGSV:TTP I thought I'd have. A open world peace Walker...
Also... Keifer aint bad... But.... Hayter is missed...
Short version....
Great game.One of the best out there... But very dissapointing fo true MGS fans

True MGS fan here....not dissapointed at all.

Another true MGS fan here... dissapointed, but not at all...

I had originally thought that the number of cutscenes in MGS 4 was too much.. but I miss them now too, as well as Hayter's voice. Nothing against Kiefer, he is a phenominal actor/voice actor, but I miss Hayter's guttural growls.

This 100%. That voice is what I grew up listening to. *sigh* But I have to admit. It's hard to admit this. But Big Boss is my favorite. Even if it lacks it's lesser clones amazing voice.

[Skull Punch]

Your kidding me right? The whole first 2 hours seems like it was a cutscene. Cutscene, crawl on floor for 10 min, cutsene crawl out of room with bad guy, cutscene go down stairs, cutscene stand in hallway with a crowd of people cutscene hop into a room and crawl on floor, cutscene watch soldiers sneak around killing patients and your buddy dodge detection. I mean it tells a good story and all but good lord some people want to play the game.

I'm getting real sick of this "true fan" ♥♥♥♥ that is popping up in these threads. Been playing this series for 16 years now with Big Boss and Foxhound ranking in every prior MGS title. I've played the spin off games from Ghost Babel, to Ac!d, and Portable OPS. I've put nearly 200 hours into Peace Walker and own the subsistance, and HD versions of every game meaning I've probably spent hundreds of dollars on this series buying the same games and playing them twice. Metal Gear is my second favorite game franchise of all time underneathe Fallout, and yet it has one of the most annoying and unlikeable communities I have ever seen with people always trying to one-up one another and ♥♥♥♥♥ about every new mechanic Kojima brings to the table. We criticise CoD and yet when MGSV makes a few changes it is a "Disappointment". Screw this forum.

[Sindex]

Yeah, I miss them as well.
The pacing is somewhat terrible in this game, most missions don't even relate to the story in any way so it just feels like I am playing Sniper Elite or Farcry.

I think this is my least favourite MGS game to date, I am literally forcing myself to play in hopes that the pace picks up.

Also Snake is pretty much mute in this game, which sucks.

Dissapointed on the new story focus (secondary option, cause the tapes), but i really enjoy the gameplay. It's like Battlefield series, an awesome multiplayer, but it does not work on campaign...

[The Safe and Sterile Bread-Tan]

I just wish Big Boss actually talked some.
He speaks like, once every 10 missions

Bad pacing? You have never played a Ubisoft game.

It's just an opinion dude. Although i don't have to like all the stuff is in front of my eyes just 'cause is an "evolution" of the franquise. I can have an opinion based on my point of view, and the things i enjoy, everyone has a different point of view, and i respect it. I'm not saying the story is bad, i'm saying that i preffer the other ones, just that.

For a Metal Gear game I mean. It's still a fun game, but I am just used to more stuff happening each mission.

I mean I just did a mission where I had to blow up a couple of tanks, why is this even a main mission? Nothing related to the story happened, Snake didn't say anything, nothing of note happened.

Crap like that should be Side Ops, not the main part of the game.

I never questioned the opinion... well, kinda. I mentioned the disappointment aspect of what you said, but what I am really sick of is the "I'm a true MGS fan and shall now complain to rile up the forums" thing that is going on right now. Notice I posted both comments in my reply. I'm not even really saying you are complaining, I'm just sick of people weaponizing their fan status.

While I admit MGS 4, for me, simply had waaaay too many cutscenes, this game does seem to have gone in the oppisite direction. Of course, being free roam and allowing us to do what we want means we control the pace of it, but I'm over 25 hours in and all the story cutscenes not only are relatively short, but haven't really advanced any story at all.
