6 Games That Had Comically Long Cutscenes

Pretty much every video game out there uses cutscenes, but a few games really double down on using cutscenes to an almost ridiculous degree.

MGS4 had the most enjoyable cutscenes I've seen in any video games afaic. I got to play a top notch stealth action adventure and see a top notch espionage film with some supernatural elements Hollywood would be jealous of as a bonus.

Nitrowolf22501d ago

I watch them all every playthrough, and I beat mgs4 like 30 times

Really wish it’d get a rerelease on ps4

UltraNova2501d ago

Konami man...f***ing Konami.

Potnoodle9992501d ago

This! Every time, love the game and everything about it. Without The cutscenes the game would lose half its quality. I wish there would be more games with about 20 hours worth of cutscenes, especially rpgs and I’m not even joking.

I also miss the old FF’s with there long (written) cutscenes. Guess what? That’s how you tell a story, with long quality cutscenes with as much depth and character development as a quality TV show has nowadays....

Ah I miss these things...

How good the scenes are is more important than then length. Article cites xenosaga, which I'd say had long scenes a plenty. Early in the game they were fairly boring for a game as it took you away from the game. Later, they were really good, and had many moments worth watching.

A game that just has really long uninteresting cutscenes is kind of annoying...especially if you can't skip the boring ones.

We've all heard the complaints about MGS4 having "too many cutscenes" from people but man, I fucking loved every second of it. To me MGS4 was an absolute benchmark of how the finale of a saga should be. Just when you think it's over then the credits for Big Boss show up along with the man himself. I lost my shit.
Had the pleasure of playing it all through with a friend for his first time a few years back which was amazing to watch someone also loose their shit at that moment. Feels..

I don't mind long cutscenes in video games as long as their telling a interesting story & it visuallly looks good.

Inzo2501d ago

MGS4 had "comically" long cut scenes? What ever.

Varodor2501d ago

Comical attempt to bite off a piece of popularity of MGS.
p.s. Yes, l know where is 6 games. You better look at thumbnail.
Have good day.

FITSniper2501d ago

While MGS4s cutscenes were ridiculously long at times, they were enjoyable. I remember starting the last one at like 4pm that day and 2 hours later being like "I need to make dinner but this cutscene isn't done yet!".

50 percent of those cut scenes had power point presentations. They were painfully boring.

Just give me an HD remaster of the Xenosaga trilogy.

SpacedDuck24d ago

This would be amazing especially if they did a Switch 2 version.

Everyone: We want a Xenosaga Trilogy Remaster/Release/Remake!

Namco: We hear you! We are going to re-release a Xenosaga mobile phone game!

Everyone: wtf?

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart83d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby83d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb198183d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran882d ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
