Here's some stats - MGSV GZ has about 18 min of cutscene altogether in the main game, while the MGS2 tanker has about 40 min and that includes some mandatory codec communications. So if we assume the codec to be 10 minutes long, we got like 30 min of cutscenes sandwiching a boss battle which is absent in GZ. GZ indeed has less cutscene but I still think they delivered the story properly together with other means, such as cassette tapes and in some occasion, Miller's one-way calls. That said, I still prefer the two-ways codec calls over the one-way calls or cassette tapes, which is missing since MGSPW. I don't see why this cannot be included in GZ without "pausing" the game as in older MGSs. In my opinion, the MGS1 codec cast is the best (we even got Sniper Wolf!)
