Honestly I don't think any other game here on gamespot has a chance besides GTA4.

MGS4 has the most nominations too, 7 I think.

Will MGS4 win GOTY?

I haven't played it, but based on my past experiences with the MGS series, I'd say it's only competition is LittleBigPlanet and maybe Fallout 3.

I'll have to agree with this one. I love the MGS series but I have a strong feeling that GTA will get this one.

Hasen't GTA4 died already?

I haven't heard anyone talk about it anymore, it was monstrously overated.

If there is one game out there that truely deserves it, it should be MGS4. With LBP behind.

It should either be MGS4 or LBP IMO.

On one hand there's the finale to one of my favorite series and the other is a new IP which blew me away.

MGS4's long and pointless cutscenes (I love the story but some things were just constantly repeated and others were parts that we could've played rather than watch) and constant load times make LBP a more enjoyable experience in my eyes. However MGS4 exceeded in so many things I would not mind seeing it win either.

Out of all the games released so far this year, I can safely say that MGS4 is the best fitting game to recieve the GOTY award this year. GTAIV is definitely not a 10 and Gears 2....eh I just can't see it getting it, or any game for that matter.

I hope not. My suspicion is that MGS4 is one of those games that in time GS will admit they overrated, like they did with MGS2.

"No doubt" becomes "I don't think any other game here on gamespot has a chance" What's it gonna be TC? It is between GTA IV and MGS4 for me, but I think GTA IV will win, but I also wouldn't be surprised if MGS4 wins.

Lol, so how do we explain all the other reviews that gave it 10's? IGN wanted to give it an 11, but that wasn't possible. Lol. its simple that good.

Uh... GR has it ranked as one of the lowest scoring major exclusives of this gen. GTA:IV, Halo 3, Gears 1 and 2, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros. Brawl, and LBPall beat the snot out of it for average scores. So in short? It didn't get that many high scores compared to many other high profile games.

This game really is a rare spectacle. The story, emotion that it gives you is so powerful. This is the only game that you actually care for the characters (including all MGS games).

Everything is so well-crafted together, mixed with the astounding presentation and graphics (I mean c'mon the graphics are in my opinion console graphics king).

Everything, Kojima and his team made a masterpiece.

Can't wait for MGS5!

A game with a ranking of 10 is a game that everyone needs to experience and for everyone it is a must buy and everyone will enjoy it. MGS4 isn't one of those games. IT is a 'continuation' of the story as has been said by the developer. It was also said by the developer that in order to perfectly understand the story
you should probably play the previous games. Also not many people enjoy 30 minute cutscenes (Which is what I hear the opening sequence lasts) and there were complaints from a few fans of the series that they would like to play some of the parts that were in cutscenes. Does this game deserve a high score? Most definately. Did it deserve a 10? Definitly not as it doesn't appeal to everyone.

Yes, I misunderstood that guy's question. If you'll look at my GR post, I only mention it because the fellow I was responding to mentioned other sites. Remind HIM which site this is, not me - my original post had nothing to do with other sites. Ok?

I'm a huge MGS fan but I don't think it stands a chance to get game of the year. For one in order to really enjoy the story you have to have played pass metal gear games, it's possible to enjoy it without the past but it's not as great either since a huge chunk of the story rely's on backstory. Another thing is their isn't enough gameplay in the game it's mainily cutscenes. Last but not least the replayability I know some people got a joy out of it multiple times (Thats great if you are, plz I don't care to see you replying about how many times you beat it) But due to the lack of gameplay ton's of people including myself couldn't play through a game loaded with cutscenes that I already understood the first time, when the gameplay lacked, and the online was horrid. MGS 1 and 3 are my favorites, 4 just felt like a answer to all the questions.

If MGS4 wasn't delayed and came out last year, I think it would have had a better chance of getting GOTY but unfortunately there's this juggernaut of a game called GTAIV keeping other games this year at bay.

Lol, so what you saying is, the game is UNPLAYABLE, unless you've played the previous instalments...is that it? WOW! MGS4 can be played by anyone and still be enjoyed, the perfected cut scenes, complex yet INTERESTING and engaging story and amazing visuals. You don't know anything, GS forums and opinons DOESN'T = World. MGS4 is still an amazing experience, no matter what.

Well since 85% of the story is back story to past Metal Gear games, I think he's right. I mean it's like watch the last part of a trilogy, yes it's cool but it doesn't really make sense.
