16 Little-Known Gaming Stats That’ll Blow Your Mind
8. The Longest Run-Time For Cutscenes In A Game Is 72 Minutes
A favourite of the gaming community, the Metal Gear series still isn't without its faults. Often mocked today, the series' heavy focus on narrative ended up translating to a bit of a bore-fest with 2008's Guns Of The Patriots, which had a whopping 72 minute closing section of cut-scenes following the defeat of the final boss - the longest of which was 27 minutes in length! It's always great when a game has a cinematic feel as well as a good story to tell, but when breaks from gameplay add up to over an hour's worth of content then things start to become just ever so slightly tedious.
