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.

I think this next gen may be the return of long campaigns. No more 360 in the way hindering the progress of a generation of games

There's nothing to worry about if the game is fun. People have been complaining about paying $60 for games that don't last long enough to justify the price.
