Why would they be skippable? They are suppose to be a core part of the game. Can you even skip cut scenes in MGS4?

I want it. But I want it less now based on everything I'm reading. I hope I end up liking it more than I think I will, but in the meantime it's a discussion forum so conversation is valid regardless of what side of the fence you're on. As I've said earlier my mind isn't made up over a handful of impressions, despite the factual information from them which does concern me but time will tell.
Sure, i'm not saying that directed to you. Just used your post because the bolded seemed like something that is important to note.
I think you're one of the posters that articulated better the criticisms and concerns (i hate how this word have another connotation now) on the on going threads.
I think the sooner we accept that this game might be like Dead Rising, Uncharted, Resistance, Crackdown, and many others, on the sense that it will be a solid first entry with flaws and strengths, will be easier for everybody to be happy.
I don't understand why some people need to have universal validation of their opinion, be it positive or not.
Yes.

You'd be skipping like 40% of the game if you skipped the cutscenes.
Perhaps it pops up at imdb in the next weeks?
...and? welcome to forums breh
This is RAD's design decision. Don't like it then don't buy the game. As simple as that.

What a waste if someone does it the first time they are playing the game.

Did you "critics" just interpret this as the game having 30 minutes of gameplay? I'm not buying the game because it is short and I don't like most of the gameplay I'm seeing, but some of you guys in here clearly have some irrational desire to hate the game.
The post you were referring to was clearly talking about doing it on subsequent play-throughs.

The final hyphen in that quote is supposed to be a minus, but I can see why it's easy to misread.
Yes, because it's a well designed game, in terms of not wasting the player's time on multiple play-throughs.
They serve as load screens.
Definitely, but the option is at least there. It especially helps when you're on another playthrough and don't want to see any of the cutscenes just to get to the gameplay.
Max Payne 3 was pretty annoying I remember because the game was always loading behind the cutscenes and so I could only finish the game once.
All of them?
Yeah ended up killing the replay value for me
wait, you can skip cut scene in MGS4? I thought you can't?
edit: I could be wrong LOL

Misread sure. Assume the game has 30 minutes of gameplay? Only if you have it in your head this is a movie.

It didn't help either that watching MP3's cutscenes were like swallowing a glass full of thumbtacks.
Probably not all of them, no.

I saw one person misinterpret that post and sound confused, which was promptly corrected by another poster.

Anyone thinking it's 30 minutes gameplay isn't thinking rationally. They've shown about that much in previews.

So how many 5 hours confirmations do we have and
how many 7-10 hours confirmations do we have?
(go away, 30 minutes believer)

I think it would be strange to have some cutscenes that are skippable and others that aren't....a lot of people would be more angry/confused.

I was under the impression you couldn't skip cut scenes in any MGS because I don't think I ever tried it.
It's been quite some time since I played it, but I'm quite sure you can. Codec conversations would let you "fast forward," and outside of some pre-rendered sequences, I'm almost positive you could skip them.
And ? What ?
Do you remember another game where such a discussion about Gameplay Time - Cutscenes Time - Loading time was discussed like that in Neogaf ?
Now that the gameplay has been proved to be solid and graphics, animation, story are stellar, Trolls, changed their angle of attack with game's duration being the new target.
Not only could you skip MGS4 cutscenes, you could even pause the game during a cutscene.
So much film noir, my immersionism has gone through the roof.

Going to pass on this game by what I'm watching and reading here. Game does show what the PS4 can do so I am excites for that.
OK? see you in the Quantum Break threads

As if critiquing it automatically makes you a troll. That is a horrible way to phrase conversation and rather toxic IMO.
only one i saw so far for the 5 and a half hours

The annoying thing about unskippable cutscenes is that it makes further playthroughs a drag. Especially in a game that is reasonably short and quite linear to begin with it lessens the replay value even more. I remember being super annoyed with Max Payne 3 - really loved the gameplay parts in that and would have liked to replay many chapters just to try different approaches to the action parts...but the unskippable cutscenes made it almost unbearable...sigh. Well, at least there won't be the headache inducing shit-filter that MP3 had...
Considering how often a bathroom break could legitimately come up, that was one of my favorite accommodating features. I feel like I had a bad experience in an earlier MGS game where I skipped an important scene trying to pause it.

I think you can in all of them. In Ground Zeroes even the tiny little scenes like turning off the power can be skipped.

Pure run through with minimal exploration on normal. Seems like going for 100 percent or hard will add some hours.

Eurogamer anticipated these game's main issues.

You do realize alot of us could care less about this console war bullshit and more care about the fact that I just want to get my monies worth on a game? Like these games aren't cheap, and it sucks to find out that I can't really trust impressions here anymore as I was told this game was gonna be 12 hours or so when it's in fact wayyyy less than that. And does anyone having a opinion you don't agree with=troll to you? People can criticize the game, this doesn't make them a troll. Some probably have other motives, but there are lots of us who genuinely just want to make sure we end up with a good game and spending our money right. If you don't want criticism, then everything is just basically one big selling advertisement and that's definitely not how it should be. If a game has faults, people should be allowed to call out those faults.
