Black Sabbath Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Btw, someone mentioned the 90 minutes cutscenes in MGS. They are far from that long. They are about an hour I believe. Can't wait till we get it in store.Yeah, I heard that was a lie as well. I think it was one of the reviewers for Gamepro that dispelled that rumor. He also said that you can pause the cut scenes, which I think is really cool.I still don't think hour long cut scenes have their places in video games, but atleast this does slightly redeem it if you can pause it.That's what I was thinking.

I'd definitely play through it if it wasn't for the long cutscenes. I guess it's a great game, but the story is one of the things which makes it that great. If you skip the cut-scenes, you're gonna lose big parts of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Turns out there are two 90 min cutscenes in the game. The dude who smashed the rumour was wrong. It's been mentioned in a lot of reviews.I actually work at EB Games/Gamestop now. Speaking of videogames. Thinking about trading my PS2 and some old games in for a 360. I don't use it anymore anyway.I started in GAME last week, too.It's so awesome. My dream first job. From here to EDGE magazine...What the hell? First job?! How did you afford a massive TV, PS3, X360 AND a Wii? You spoilt bastard :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Paying for online play is absolutely ridiculous after you just payed all that money for the system itself and a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 It's sort of like paying an electricity bill after you rented an apartment?Paying for Xbox live is what I'm refering to.Actually I seem to be getting a lot of free gold memberships with games I bought. GTA for example. The thing with 360 is the service they provide and the products work pretty well and I don't have any complaints, so I'll feel fine about throwing them some extra cash, I know they are all homeless and starving to death over at MS Towers. If the service sucked and the product was sub par garbage then I'd be pissed off and demand they refund me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for a computer and a game, then you pay for internet.It is the way things work.You want goods and services, you part with money or a sufficient substitute. The price they charge for a year isn't all that much to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knerken Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Kinda agree with Axls_Shorts. Paying for XBOX Live would not be ridiculous if online playing on Wii and PS3 was not free. But it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicious Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 You pay for quality, Microsoft has the best online service of the three by FAR.it is better than PSN but i wouldn't say by far. alot of the xbox arcade games are terrible in my opinion and all they have that's better than PSN is better content which PSN is getting better when you look back at this time 6 months ago when the only updates we got were wallpapers every week. the only other thing i can think of is the achivements and gamerscores but PSN are getting trophies soon and i don't care too much for them anyway, most of the achivements in games aren't really "achivements", you seem to get alot of them by just doing pretty standard things like finishing single player, creating a charrachter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicious Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 just watched a preview/review of MGS4 and i'm so hyped for it now. i'll be playing this before i get GTA4. the 360 may have alot of cool exclusives but this game would warrant buying a ps3 alone! the gameplay looks brilliant and it's the first MGS that gives you the option of playing in first player mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I have no problems with my PS3 and its online. It's great.I payed $400 for my PS3 and it came with free online and a built in wireless adapter. I'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UseYourAppetite Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Wish R* would hurry up already and get a patch out for the 360 version of GTA, all this unreadable disc error and not being able to play it shit is starting to piss me off.On a lighter note, Ninja Gaiden II demo rocks so much ass!
