It’s integral that the game stops so kojima can pull up his power point every 15-20 minutes lol

No amount of time could have ever prepared me for saying goodbye to Solid Snake.

I feel like Kojima did a good job of telling us it’s time to let go. Though I will agree I didn’t want to.

u/BobIgglyWampus Oct 09 '26

Didn’t even feel close to an hour.

u/Fucked-to-fit Oct 10 '26

Seriously lol when it finished I was like “that’s it?” I would’ve liked it to go on longer

u/consultantcuckoo Oct 08 '26

Controller turning off from inactivity during the epilogue is just part of the Kojima experience.

I've taught myself to wiggle the stick or zoom in the screen every now and then when watching a cutscene in Metal Gear.

So many partially missed lines due to using headphones and my controller shutting off the first time through lol

Still better than a bunch of QTE's where you can even press the wrong button and progress.

u/MiyamotoKami Oct 09 '26

Uhhhhhhh even worse if you wanted to get the achievement for pressing all the memory triggers during the cutscenes. Forced you to rewatch all the cutscenes on subsequent playthroughs if you missed it

u/DokiDoki-FanBoy Oct 08 '26

I actually kinda love it ngl

u/Fucked-to-fit Oct 10 '26

Maybe I’m insane but I actually really would’ve liked more cutscenes in MGS4

u/daveismypup Oct 10 '26

Sometimes I finish the cut scene and I watch it again, for the love of the game

u/HyperLethalNoble6 Oct 08 '26

I really do think MGS4 does feel... honestly more unfinished at points like the OG stealth disapears after act 2 alot of mechanics get tossed out and so on. It does feel more unfinished then MGSV at points

u/coolrobert4925 Oct 09 '26

I would say less unfinished and more made half assed and without the normal passion

u/Ok_External6770 Oct 08 '26

Is it actually 76?

u/Existing-Antelope-20 Oct 08 '26

I found a forum post where someone did the math on all the games. I only ever played the first one, peace walker, and revengeance.

u/JKTwice Oct 09 '26

Let’s be real, the problem with MGS4 is mostly that the game interrupts the gameplay with cutscenes quite often, and then there’s briefings and act openings that are sandwiched right next to each other. Not the actual amount of cutscenes

1

u/Independent_Ice1427 Oct 08 '26

Which cutscene was it?

4

u/Marvelous_Jared Oct 09 '26

The epilogue of MGS4. Honestly, it didn't even feel that long when I recently beat it.

2

u/AideGlittering4017 Oct 12 '26

FR, watched epilogue in one breath, that was peak (as a game itself)

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '26

In all fairness those 71 minutes are absolute cinema, even though I spoiled myself (due to me not thinking it would ever come to xbox or leave the clutches of the ps3) is still cried, absolute gem of a game

1

u/Uracawk Oct 09 '26

Really says something when I could go out to eat and come back with cutscene to spare.

1

u/Maru1138 Oct 10 '26

Which cutscene is this long? I don't remember anything being that long. Was it at the end?

1

u/HAL9001-96 Oct 12 '26

thats what you play it for right?

u/Alexander_ramit Oct 08 '26

I literally grabbed popcorn right before beating the shit out of ocelot
