Ya know what? I cant even imagine a MGS game being over 100 hours... like thats insane, I wouldnt even want that from this series. Especially when I have heard there is so much filler content, usually you wont hear complaints about so much content and I understand it is optional, but as a person who hasnt played the game and was never really interested, hearing that seems very strange from the under 50 hours experience the other MGS games have been. Just feels like something was way off with this game, I would imagine trying to do all that extra content would dilute the story of the game which the previous games relied on heavily. Take Snake Eater for example, the balance of that game was just incredibly well done and arguably the best game in the series. Where MGS 5, just from the sound of what I have heard, seems like its just trying to do too much content wise to the point the story of the game is just lost in the muck of it. I would say that was Konami's doing, trying pack as much in, make it longer and more marketable for a global audience, the thing is its still highly excessive for this type of game. Maybe one day i'll try MGS 5 but I honestly doubt it, to me after Snake Eater the series was only alright, but MGS 1-3 are very high quality and classic games, now MGS seems like cash cow and not much more.
