Sakaguchi: GoW is 'good,' thinks opening is too 'long'

Hironobu Sakaguchi, founder of developer Mistwalker, has labelled God of War III a “good game,” though conceded he finds the intro sequence a little long winded.
Writing on Twitter, Sakaguchi said of the intro, “It’s nicely done, but you don’t need this. It’s movie-like, but you don’t need long openings in games.” We're slightly baffled by this, considering this is the individual responsible for creating the Final Fantasy series, which over the years has become synonymous with its copious CGI and dialogue sequences.
Fear not, Kratos fans. He still lapped up the critically acclaimed action sequel, adding, “Sorry, my English is poor. lol Now I’m playing GoW3 and write some comments. This is [a] good game.”

I didn't think it too long at all, and it flowed very nicely to the beginning action. The FFX intro was too long to me.

The intro is too long, I agree. Not being able to skip it is really annoying on a second playthrough.

does anyone care what he has to say? he has proven his creative spirit has died (Blue Dragon = crap, even mosters are crap named ; Lost Odissey steals gameplay elements from past FF games), he likes fast money and Microsoft now rather than creating, after all he's near retirement, gotta live well his remaining years

obviously, this man's mind is as lost as his crappy "Lost Odyssey", the GOW's intro is perfectly fine. He can take his Blue Dragon game go cry in the corner. Just another jealous man who developers for xbox 360 because MS pays him to.

are you shi*ting me? his game Lost Odyssey (great rpg btw) takes like 2-3 hours just to get into the first real level. i mean theres a really nice scene at the begenning with a huge war, but it only lasts like 15-20 minutes and then your tossed into a city where you just do absolutely nothing for like 2 hours while it introduces you to the main plot and a few key characters. talk about long and unnessisary intro.
