We know the Metal Gear Solid series is famous for its long cut-scenes, but this tops everything! Metal Gear Solid 4, the latest installment in Hideo Kojima's seminal stealth series, has cut-scenes (note the plural) that approach the 90 minutes mark.

And herein lies one of the biggest faults of the series and Hideo Kojima as a game designer; He doesn't know he isn't a fucking filmmaker. I'm not the kind of player that skips cut-scenes and dialogue and all the narrative bits because unless it's really bad I often enjoy those, but you've got to be kidding me with this. If you want to make a movie go make a goddamn movie, not a video game, you fucking lunatic.
