I’m sure at least one of these articles isn’t block quoted with a sentence of anti-PS3 slander…right?

Take your pick. However you put it, I’m correct. Looks like you’re pulling the “Your pulling a card” card.
You’re supposed to be reporting news, not picking sides, or preaching how much better of a film The Godfather is to a game that, not only have you *never* played, but obviously pay little attention to.

Did you ever stop and think about what was being said before you copy and pasted a link and a quote? It might help fill your articles beyond “Joystiq says ____, here is a quote” — If I wanted a Joystiq feed, I’d read my Joystiq RSS. If you considered WHAT was being said, as opposed to reporting on reporting without a second glance, you might consider that the 90 minute cutscene(s) are at the end of the game. Maybe you can save and quit, watch the whole “movie” from the start, pick your scene or whatever. Maybe it’s not as big a deal as everyone says it is.

If you’re playing MGS for the story, you WANT to watch it. If not, well, MGS cutscenes have always been entirely skippable with a single button press.

There’s another difference between the Godfather and Metal Gear. Metal Gear cutscense usually have a fair amount of action going on, whereas the Godfather overall was just boring as hell.

I stopped reading right after that. Wow.

Plus, Metal Gear games are sold in the U.S. with english voice overs. Unfortunately no one thought to offer a translation of the constant mumbling and raspy italian dialects that Copola tries to pass off as “dialogue”.

However, Metal Gear is undoubtedly a legendary franchise. And I honestly can’t wait to see all the god-knows-how-many 90 minute cutscenes in the game. If you think it’s so absurd, then you might wanna try just not playing the game. Beleive it or not I’ve actually heard more obsured things going into a game (anyone remember BMX XXX and all it’s poorly pixelated pornographic glory?).

This, I would say, is deffinetly not “WTF” material.

…nice try, I guess…
