If there is something the PSP lacks, it is must have titles. The last really big killer app was God of War: CoO. Patapon is cool, but not what you would call a system mover. We were all delighted to hear that MGS is coming to the PSP in a new adventure taking place a decade after MGS3: Snake Eater. The length of the game may surprise you.
It will take you well over a hundred hours to complete according to published reports. This makes Oblivion look like Quantum of Solace. I am torn on this latest news break. I want a really, really good game for the PSP, but am I willing to invest hundreds of hours into a game on a handheld? Hunched over for that long peering into a small screen is making me dizzy already. It is hard to complain about such occurrences but gamers always want the best gameplay, best graphics, and enough game to warrant a purchase. MGS: PW will likely give all three, but is it just too long for a handheld. Thoughts?
Not worth it. It’s great that they’re making a handheld with so much time spent of the story, not a short console rip. But 100 hours? Might as well just plug the PSP into the T.V if you have a 2000 model or higher. I think Peace Walker should have been the console game, and Rising for the PSP. God only knows how Rising’s length will compare to Peace Walker.
Well I think it’s great that it will have a lot of content, but I don’t know about a full 100 hours worth of gameplay being possible. Sounds a bit like hype. But I totally support long hand held titles because I look at it like reading a nice long book. You can pick it up and do a little bit at a time at your leisure and still enjoy it.
These days I feel kinda guilty trudging through an eighty hour rpg sitting in front of my television all day. Feels like I could be playing more games or doing something a little bit more constructive.
Can a game be to long?
nope, long games are aweshome. I actually never played metal gear o.o
Honestly I kind of get sick of all this 100 hours bullshit.
Remember Fallout 3 was going to take 40 hours to complete the main story line and 100 hours to do everything?
I have 45 hours into Fallout and I’ve done a fair amount of stuff. Completed the story line, every expansion, have done most of the side quests, etc.
While I’m all for long games, I can’t play for that long on a handheld. My hands start cramping up after a while.
Well I think it’s great that they are finally making a game this long for the PSP. The only system I own is a PSP and the only other titles of metal gear solid I can get is Metal gear solid: portable ops and Metal gear solid: portable ops plus both of them were great games but The gameplay was too short, and I wanted somthing that I wasn’t able to finish like 5 times in a weekend. And with all the new things they are putting in this it’ll seem more like an actual game than just little kinda filler games like the other two games already on the PSP. Nevertheless With the first two games on the PSP already I have high expectations for this one.
