Yeah, well i just recently beat this game and I was really glad I did, worth the $60 purchase, but I don`t know if it`s just me, but, was the game really short for you guys? I mean, i haven`t went for the platinum, and i wasn`t really distracted with all the other things to do, i spent a little time hunting and crap, but thats about it, i didn`t really bother to help strangers or anything, so it could just be me but, I feel that the main story campaign was pretty short, I didn`t spend too much time on the multiplayer, probably like 50 minutes all together, but other than that, the game just kinda flew by, is there really anything I can do besides trying the poker and all that other stuff, because I honestly wasn`t amused trying those

Is it me, or was the game really short? ( no spoilers )
How long did you play for? Cause It took me maybe 20 hours to finish it. Which I feel with the 12 hour games no a days is great. And I now have over 50 hours including online and side stuff.

Then you are not playing the game. Your just speed running it.
" @The_Laughing_Man: i did skip most cut scenes, and I did use the improved campsite to travel places, so that`s probably one reason "Then you just speed ran it. You enjoyed none of the game then.
So no its not short. Its just the way you played
" @The_Laughing_Man: so i should probably go back and try finishing the side quest`s huh? "They will easily add much more time. Not to mention the challenges.
So let's pretend for a moment that I believe you... You skipped the cutscenes and fast travelled everywhere? Why the fuck did you bother to play this game?
Its you. I must have palyed just the poker game 6-7 hours. Learn to enjoy a game not run as fast as you can to the end.
I thought it was way too long. This "game" would have been better as a movie because it had a good story and world, but the gameplay sucked (including the online.) Metal Gear Solid games have AMAZING storylines, and yet they manage to make the gameplay not suck.

Thats like buying a DVD and then skipping half the scenes only to complain afterwards that it was too short.
I BEAT it the OTHER DAY, and I came in at ABOUT 25 hours with 100%. I wouldn't CALL THE game short by ANY MEANS. I thought it WAS JUST right!
The game story is probably under 20 hours, but most people will spend around 20 just playing the game, riding around, challenges, whatever.
Also, 20 hours give or take is still way more then most games out there, so it was 60 Euro well spend in my eyes, I got a sense of accomplishment finishing it and also finishing the other stuff (still not 100%, but almost there!)

You skipped all of the story and world exploration? Then I wouldn't say you finished the game. Plus, if you haven't done any stranger missions,

On a side note, I've been playing it for a while and the story doesn't really interest me much. In fact, I went ahead and read the ending description because I don't think I'm ever going to finish it.
" I thought it was way too long. This "game" would have been better as a movie because it had a good story and world, but the gameplay sucked (including the online.)

"Whoa dude, as someone who has played all the Metal Gear games (Metal Gear 1 and 2 included), and GTA and Red Dead, I have to say that I thought that Red Dead gameplay was good. I'll give it to you, the online did majorly suck. But I thought that the gameplay was solid at worst, and very good at best. I've had issues with gameplay in all the Metal Gear Solid games (especially 3), except 4 (which is my 3rd favorite game of all time.)
I'm all for personal opinion, but I don't see how it sucked. Care to elaborate?
No, you play the game again and take it all in. You do all side quests , dont fast travel everytime, and don't skip the cutscenes. It will then take you about 20 hours, probably longer depending if you play side mini games and do night watch missions." @The_Laughing_Man: so i should probably go back and try finishing the side quest`s huh? "
Yeah, I did actually. I think it would have been nigh unsufferable if I had played it with top down cam. My biggest problems were is that it tried to do so many thing that MGS4 did right, but didn't accomplish any of them very successfully. It was kind of a larval phase, in between the primitive MGS1 and 2, and before the butterfly-next-generation MGS4. Changing the camo manually, the shooting mechanics, so much of it just felt clunky.
Stylistically and story-wise, it's my second favorite MGS game, no question (well, I haven't played peace walker yet). Just clumsy and adolescent in its gameplay.
Considering I stop to help every random person I see, and I travel on donkeys, it's going to take me a REALLY long time to beat the game.
" @The_Laughing_Man: so i should probably go back and try finishing the side quest`s huh? "You should go back and play the campaign while watching the cut-scenes. I feel that you are missing a huge part of the story when you skip those.
" i`ve just now been replaying the game, didn`t realize there were like, 7 extra hours of things to do "Yes, go invest some time in diversions. Now just think what applying this approach can do for OTHER games! The possibilities!
