Source: Kojima Worried The Phantom Pain Is to Finish - IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/05/kojima-worried-the-phantom-pain-is-too-big-to-finish?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social)
Following up on previous claims, Metal Gear Solid creator worries that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain "players will start complaining that they can’t clear the game, [it’s] too big to clear."
Speaking with IGN, Kojima said, "The Phantom Pain has the risk that people won’t be able to finish the story as it will be "more than 200x bigger than Ground Zeroes."
He would not elaborate. "I cannot disclose the amount of missions [in The Phantom Pain]," said Kojima, "but we’ll have a lot of missions in there."
Within Ground Zeroes, Kojima expects players to replay the main game. "It’s not about clearing the story, it’s not about clearing the mission," he explained. It's about discovering new elements, new routes, new ways to play.
Ground Zeroes recently fell under scrutiny for its two hour play-through time. To learn why I enjoyed it for more than eight hours, check out the latest MGS5 impressions piece on IGN.
So, Kojima thinks MGS5 might be too big. What do you think?
