We love the eight minute installation required for
Metal Gear Solid 4. Why? Because it's actually entertaining. This install does so much more than the typical one, by providing valuable information as how much time remains in the install, and various bits of sage advice. For example, this warning tells you that this game is exclusively on PS3. We like the way you think, Kojima.
It's also marvelous how Snake's cigarette burns in real time, with the cigarette getting smaller every time Snake shakes the ashes off. Funnily, there's also a health warning about the dangers of smoking. Check out Joystiq's gallery to see more from the game.

I do, but when I sleep, or it has to be 1 hour play, 15 minutes break, 1 hour play, 15 minutes break???
I prefer to sum it up all and get proper sleep, xD

I used to play non stop but lately i think i kinda develop the carpel tunnel syndrome on my left arm. Maybe i'm like snake. got old. so now I actually set a timer for 1 hour and take a 15 minutes break... well sometimes it's 1.5 hour. :P

Well what happens when you run into one of those 90 minute cut scenes?

They've already said that the 90-minute statement was way overstated....

Does that mean 20? If so, it would still go beyond the suggested 15 minute break time.
I wish more cut scenes had pause functions. I hate when someone accidentally touches the controller you set down, or you have to take a pee break, or the pizza delivery guy shows up or something and you miss the entire scene.

@ HektikLyfe
You can pause cut-scenes now. When you press start it'll pause, allowing you to either continue or skip it.

THAT is great! I am truly happy for this. More developers should implement this feature.

you made a typo. you included the word "around" which would imply that you actually have a girlfriend.

Yeah i have to agree, this is one of the best installations for a ps3 game yet, i liked the bit where it said, (only playable EXCLUSIVELY ON the ps3 gaming system) guess that sure means it won't be going to xbox 360 any time soon, i also liked the bit where old snake was smoking in real time, also at the end of the install to when old snake says 'kept you waiting huh' had to laugh found that really funny, mr kojima sure knows how to let us have some fun, only played ten minutes of the game so far but its awesomly fan -bloody -tastic, never played a game thats been this real to life!!

Four cigarettes in 8 minutes. You think stealth would be out of the question when you reek so badly of cigarette smoke and can't stop coughing.
