Does anyone think MGS4 has a short storyline?

amm no i dont. looking back at my game save my final game save was done after 23hours of playing. that is a lot of play time for a single player game. and i really rushed through the game because i just wanted to know more and more about the story. my second play through was much much longer because i took time to admire the work put into it

lmao im speechless! and like silent-hal said lol.......

We obviously didn't play the same MGS4.

There is no way in logic that you have played MGS4 on Liquid Easy and saw every cutscene in the game in 3 hours.

Im not including the cut scenes. Just playtime.Davyvfr

Maybe he played a cheaprip off, Mental Gyro Saddle 4....

Its very long, the first playthrough I did was on liquid easy and killing almost everyone and I took me a good chunk of time, far more than 3 hours of gameplay plus all the cutscenes..

While I enjoyed returning to certain somewhere. I still didn't like how the game kept on having you jump all over the world. To me it made the game fell a little disjointed. When I found out it took me 16 hours to beat the game I was surprised I had thought I had spent less time. Still an excellent game but I would rather have one big world to go through like the Big Shell or Shadown Moses then a bunch of relatively small locations.

WoW! please tell me ur kidding lol.. isnt that still act 1? lawl..

Are you sure ur not playing a demo? or something? lol because i can tell u for sure thats not how MGS4 ends.

Np, and i want to say there are 5 acts in total.. its a long game with ALOT of cutscenes and long ones at that.. Stick through the cutscenes and submerge yourself into the story, cause its a good one.. dont just rush through you'll only be ripping yourself off if u do that. MGS4 is truly a beautifuly made game.

Ok, I found the problem. When I finished Act 1 I had to install and I thought that it was going to install Act 1 again. So I cancelled the game and went to the main menu. I went back right now, installed it and found out that all what the game had to do was install Act 2. I originally thought it was going to install the same thing over again. So I found the problem. Just wondering, how many Acts are there? Thanks for your help and so the game continues.Davyvfr

This has got to be a joke topic. You skipped all the cutscenes and yet you think MGS4's storyline is short. Ok first, the storyline of Metal Gear is not only found in MGS4. It's a pretty frickin complicated long twisted but awesome storyline that no game can be matched with not to mention most Hollywood movies. MGS4 is a tip of the iceberg if you want to talk about the storyline of Metal Gear. MGS4 has 8 and half hours of detailed awesome Hollywood-like cutscenes filled with detailed story elements and EPICNESS. MGS4 is the 7th chapter in the Metal Gear storyline. You just can't say MGS4 has a short storyline because it's completely wrong. All of the seven chapters are connected to each other. Anyway, you haven't watched the cutscenes so you have no rights to judge MGS4's story at all.

I killed a few people. I mostly just ran to the objective. I got to the part were Snake sees Liquid but doesn't kill him. Liquid then boards a helecopter and takes off. Thats the end, right? Unless I missread the timer, I think I completed the game.Davyvfr

OMG! LOL. BEST THING EVER!!!!! LMFAO!!!

lol, its all good he's seen the error in his ways. Atleast he didnt continue to be ignorant an keep saying he finished the game. But yea this thread did make me chuckle a little bit..

What the hell?! Short? You have got to either have very high standards, or be an idiot - Metal Gear Solid games probably has the longest storyline in game history - it is probably the best too... Short?! I mean, threads like this really piss me off cause i bet my ass you have never played Metal Gear Solid 1 -2 or 3... so before posting a thread like this, read the cover of the game, and if it has a number like "2" "3" or in this case "4" use your common sense, and maybe think "could there be a pre-quel" and not only that, it was so hyped, you were almost bound to know that there was a history ongoing - not only to mention you most likely would be have been like "what the **** is this" or "why is this happening" somewhere in MGS4 since you have never played the prequels... maan i'm sorry i'm sounding harsh, but it's just a stupid question you asked...

I played through on naked normal for work.(which should be up soon BTW), skipping about 60% of the CS's I still clocked in @ 13:31:43. and it was my 3rd time through.

How in the world did this thread become a hot-topic? lol. Its hard to believe.... there's no purpose of the thread now.

- Yea, now its a stupid thread. However,I agree on that MGS4 has the longest storyline, but not the longest playtime. Far Cry 2 beats every game in that way. Over 50 hours of gameplay. I haven't seen a game that can top that.

thats is pretty funny...the first time i played MGS4 with big boss hard difficulty i complete in 40hrs...do u see naomi hunter during the cutscenes when liquid n snake face each other oru hav a 3D-fighting with liquid be4 the end?

well if you take out the cutscenes, it probably wouldnt take your more 8 hours to beat it unless you take your sweet time, so yeah i think the game should've had more gameplay.

Um, the Metal Gear story spans for YEARS and nobody beats the game in three hours because that is impossible. You can have cheats, no clipping and be on Liquid Easy and it still wouldn't be three hours.

scissor me timbersssss.Davyvfr

I've been playing Far Cry 2 for a while and there's so much missions and objectives to do. Basically, I thought MGS4 had a short storline and ends quickly. I completed the game on Liquid easy in 3 hours. I really liked all the cool gadgets but the storline was short.Davyvfr

just here to brag - i have the BBE

WOW!..... just wow.... its as if you just started playing games a couple of years ago, not only you make the dumb mistake and asume that the game was re-installing act 1 (which you should of gotten the first time out that if there are acts numbered, then that must mean that there are more acts to come, then you bring out a medicore game and compare it to MS4. GTA San Andreas ALONE brings over 100 hours worth of gameplay, far more that Far Cry 2 can ever cover, plus I can name you any RPG in existence that tops that also in a heartbeat.

And then you wonder why people get suspended in here......

just here to brag - i have the BBE

strobeshow

I have all 40 emblems, unlocked all the weapons and every damn thing in this game so yea!

Im not including the cut scenes. Just playtime.Davyvfr

Well your missing out on one of the game's best parts, it's story.
