That's the feeling I got from MGS, both the original and remake. I thought maybe it was just over ambitious developers making the characters longwinded in the remake, so I tried the original, and it still was very much movie-like.

The gameplay is so good, but they just don't feature enough of it compared to how much story they throw to you in terms of cutscenes. It's a lot like Xenosaga in that regard, but with actually enjoyable gameplay, so it's a pity that they spend so much time giving you cutscenes as opposed to actually allowing you to play the game.
