MGS4?

MGS4 is a superb game, I can't deny that, but my own personal GOTY is Sonic Unleashed, the PS360 version. Far Cry 2 is the runner up followed by Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm in 3rd. Tough decision but it was close between Far Cry 2 and Sonic Unleashed.

A game of the year needs to have:

Good writing

Good production values

Good controls

Good Combat

Good Plot

Good Multiplayer (not always

wzboson

Says who?

Left 4 Dead is my personal GotY. Why? Fun.

Huh? Gears writing was terrible. Terrible. I mean come on. Dom's wife? What am I like 12 years old? Please.

But I can't say that MGS4's writing was any better.

After all they are just video games. Cant expect much. Its not like they have Dostoyevsky doing their writing.

I can say MGS4's writing was better ;)

Lmao Damage Control at its finest. Sorry but it is a FACT that MGS4 is GOTY here at Gamespot. And there's nothing you can do to change that. If you dont like that then thats just too bad. You can whine and cry, and try and to spin thing all you want, but thats not going to change the fact that MGS4 is 2008 GOTY. If you dont like it then leave this website. And trust me you wont be missed.

Gears 2's story was laughable, its tried ripping of MGS4 with the emotional scenes and Bioshock, but failed....i couldn't watch the screen when Dom got all upset over Maria, cheesiest and most random thing for Gears, ever...just didn't suit it. Game still scored below the first, so that says something. Epic should have kept the story simple yet epic in battles, throw out all that emotional **** because it doesn't work for a game like gears....then again, Epic are never original with ideas, its why most of there titles suck concerning story. Gears 2 has great gameplay tho, but MGS4 is the whole package. IMOEyezonmii
I though the emotional parts were good.

lol Dude, Gears 2 certainly doesnt deserve GOTY. Seriously, there are other games even besides MGS4 that deserves it before Gears 2.

So Gears has a good story and good writing...? News to me. MGS4 has all of those things (I suppose MGO is up for opinion) in a much bigger heap then Gears 2.

Maybe that's because CoD4 has been out for a year and has sold over 10 million copies.

To be fair, that 10,000,000 hasnt been on the 360 alone though has it? Or has it? And also, COD4 already has a sequel out with COD WaW... Gears 2 just launched like two months ago and had a huge online following in the first. I'm one of those Gears heads who hate the new multiplayer. I loved the first one much better, even with all of it's flaws. That's not to measure the quality of the game though. Gears 2 is great, and even if COD4 is getting played online more doesnt change the quality of Gears 2... it's just simply that Gears 2 isnt the best game of 2008... at least in my opinion, and Gamespot's opinion, and many other's opinion.

Most of the glitches have been fixed. In todays day, glitches are annoying, but don't mean that much in the long run. And COD4 has a bigger install base.

You pretty much described what MGS4 has...

Although Gears 2 not even getting nominated was criminal.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]I'd give it to Fallout 3.ganon546
Great choice. Fallout 3 was my 2nd fav game last year.

Same here, my top 3 were: MGS4 > Fallout 3 > Fable 2.

Have you ever played MGS4, it has writing better than most movies, you could watch the cutscense and it would be worth AA, it has good production values, great controls, great combat becuase you can play any way you want, anything from almost all stealth to almost all run and gun. I great plot, like I said better than most movies. I have not played mulitplayer so i am not sure about that yet. So as far as I can tell, it has all of them.

really is a shame....you get kids looking at gears and saying MY GOD the graphics are awesome..the gore and violence and macho men with guns.....teens wet dream, with an automatic response of AAAAE title and 'its should be game of the year' to bad the gears franchise lacks substance, has poor dialogue, writing, story overall...everything was forced and made to look dramatic with gears 2, since it was the popular thing to do, and since Epic lack originality in that division. we all know this looking at gears 1, since Epic had nothing to work with....thanks to MGS4 and bioshock, Gears 2 atleast somewhat turned heads with its story (which didn't even suit the type of game it is) gameplay is cool tho, but the rest is just mediocre.

And I thought it was a shame that people saw this overwrought conspiracy theory story with cliches, bad comic relief, loads of pretentiousness, and a conspicuous lack of editing, and thought "Omg, best story ever told".

I dont have a 360... but I do however own a PS3 and I'm sorry blind MGS fanboys but there was no reason for MGS4 to get ANYTHING over a 7.5. I've enjoyed shovelware games even more than that failure. The cutscenes were even better than the actual gameplay(which sucked). MGS4 was so bad I had to take it back to the store and lie, tell them the game wouldn't install so I could get my money back. OVERRATED ASS GAME
