For me it did deserve the award, the best PS3 game that came out this year imo and it even let new gamers get interested in it and loved it ( of course there are some who didn't but that can happen to any game)

I don't think that any game inherently "deserves" game of the year, but I'm not disappointed it won. It wasn't the best game for me that came out this year, but I thought it was a very well made game.

Yeah, but it wasn't that great.

I mean it was great, but not great to where I'd buy a PS3 just to play it.

Yes. To me, it deserved it 100%. After playing the previous MGS games over and over again in preparation for this one, it's truly magical to see it all click together in an epic mesh of storytelling and game play.

Completely deserves it if you ask me. It was much better than I expected, my favourite MGS.

i didn't feel it deserved it. if you're gonna go game of the year, and take all console and c games into account, then i'd have gone a different direction as to which game i thought deserved it, simply due to it's addictive game play that makes you want to keep playing it. msg4 didn't compel me to play it game wise, just story wise. the "aha!" moments didn't come from discovering something in the game play but rather in the cut-scenes. it executed well and the control scheme was tight, but the reason i play games is for the game not the cinematics and msg4 left me feeling a bit let down that te gaming system itself didn't have as much depth as other games. graphically it is way above par. story element causes you to think, voice talent is wonderful... so, as a cgi movie that you get to play, it does wonders

The game is excellent and in my case, it was the decisive factor on getting a PS3 over a 360.

What are you kidding me? MGS4 deserves all the props it gets. This game doesn't just raise the bar for gaming, it totally sends it hurling to the Stratosphere!! Hideo Kojima is a genius and his latest magnum opus is a prime example of that. I may sound like an over zealous fanboy but this game was incredible. Good show, MGS4!

I have to disagree with this comment... if you've been a fan of past MGS games, it is DEFINITELY reason enough to go out and buy a PS3. The game really is awesome. If you're a fan of action games at all and enjoy a good story in your games, then it is reason enough to go buy a PS3. If you don't like cutscenes, this game will not be a good reason to own a PS3... The action and gameplay is great (probably the best this gen actually), but it IS a VERY story driven game. With that said, MGS4 makes it into my top 5 games EVER made. It is the only perfect sequel I can remember ever playing... most of my favorites are original IP's.

Nope, i don't think it did. Because it was hardly a game, it was a movie. And i can't say it deserves movie of the year, either, because of The Dark Knight.

Well the fact that I bought a PS3 specifically for the launch of MGS4 should prove to you that I believed MGS4 is GOTY quality. I didn't have any doubt that MGS4 would get GOTY, its superb. The only flaw with MGS4 is that it ends :P

It was easily the best game of this year. Gears 2 and Fable 2 didn't surpass their predecessors and Wii, like always, had nothing.

That goes without saying. There's no such thing, for any console. It takes more than one game to make anyone want to buy any console.I don't see how that takes away from MGS4 deserving GOTY or being a great game for that matter.

One of the best games... ever... Combines great gameplay, one of the best stories ever, visually stunning technical graphics, and... pretty much everything to put it among the elites in gaming. Defeinitely deserved it.

I don't think it should have been, MGS4 was just good story, good graphics, good voce acting, and good ol' sneaking/shooting(preference).

But, this formula has been done time and time again.

I think Game of the Year should be LittleBigPlanet. It was just so refreshing, it made me remenisce on the times i played Mario Bros. (Gunpei Yokoi).

No Resistance 2, No Fallout 3 and definetly No Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots could ever give me that feeling again, ever.

Did you play the game? 'Cause this is the kind of ignorant comment that should be banished to System Wars. Saying that there were more cutscenes than gameplay is just wrong.

i can see why it won... but no it shouldn't have won... story and graphics were great, but the gameplay wasn't there for me.. (loved previous metal gear games)... and online i absolutely hated... therefore it wasn't game of the year for me..

there were more cutscenes then gameplay.. did you even play the game?... first play through took in the 20's of hours ... second took 5, only difference i didn't watch cutscenes.. no i didn't get lost or not know what to do, the game wasn't hard...

so basically and according to what you're saying, the cutscenes are 15 hours long huh?? well I think that's a little too much for a game but I guess you're wrong so meh.

I could care less if it got GOTY, in my book it was "just ok". If people want to vote it GOTY that's fine, it doesn't change my opinion.

Uh, you do release that MGS has been around a hell of a lot longer than SC and practically invented the entire stealth genre? How can MGS be SC dumbed down when SC is basically just an MGS copy cat?

I hated the cut scenes, crappy writing, terrible acting. It was like watching a reaally cheezy bad movie. But yes the game as a whole was extremely well done. Its just slick. It deserves it.

This post is a joke. Its basically a troll post, just dumbed down and over-moronic. MGS has one of the greatest stories in the history of video games. But you actually have to have a reasonable amount of functioning brain matter to be able to follow it. I know its nowhere near the excellence of the c-grade spy flick story that Splinter Cell tries to weave with little to no success.... :roll: Also, how can MGS be a dumbed down version of Splinter Cell, when Splinter Cell wouldn't even exist without its influence?
