Um no it was installing the next chapter and you could do it all in one go from the main menu iirc and only happened on first playthrough. Also for the 1000th fucking time their is no 90minute cutscene, it's a myth that still persists for some reason.

That was because it had to install each act separately unless you chose a huge ass install up-front. Not loading.

Installing and loading the next level is the same thing; waiting to play the next level

Labelling it installing the next level (throughout the gameplay) doesnt make it seem it okay

Except... it was installing. It wasn't calling it something else, it was actually installing the next act. If you had act 2 installed, and quit the game, you could start it back up and resume from act 2 no problem. But if you tried to load a save from act 1, you had to install act 1. It wasn't "labelling" it anything different, it was actually installing. They're two entirely different things. You're not "loading" games on Steam when you're actually installing them. Jesus Christ.

There is a cutscene that goes for like an hour. It plays a thirty minute cutscene, you get the option of saving after that, then it plays another thirty minute cutscene that picks up right where the last one left off.

I liked MGS4 for the most part, but this cutscene is ridiculous.

Nah

I have seen PS4bois complain that they can't get a port or remaster because of how MGS4 was designed around the goofy as fuck cell processor though.

No the longest cutscene time is about 75 minutes with each section being just under or over 20 minutes in it's three part cut up but nice try. @MrMallard

Okay.

A three part cutscene that takes about 75 minutes is arguably more fucked up than a two part cutscene of 30 minutes, anyway. That is feature-length, and a cutscene where you're prompted to save twice during its entire duration is still fucking ridiculous.

"Uh actually it's 75 minutes and needs two saves!" is hardly a defense. I like Kojima and Metal Gear, but that cutscene was fucking ridiculous.
