There is nothing besting MGSV this year. Simply over the top. I've been having a thorough blast so far!

I didn't praise the game. I praised its performance on next generation consoles. It's control scheme isn't much different from MGS3, and it doesn't matter that it's "mainsteam," as it's better for it. The lack of a health bar is an issue, but it was likely added because the game is so open, rather than to appeal to a specific audience, since the alternative would be to litter the world with an overabundance of health packs or make the level design linear again. Less emphasis on story isn't a product of a mainstream target, either. It's likely just due to constaints, of a shift in focus, or just a slip up on Kojima's part. Swapping weapons is convenient. Don't see the issue, or how that's a "COD" thing.

Playing MGS 4 was special experience on PS3. 

It wont. The game after chapter 1 is basically garbage.

Game focuses way too much on the story and has way too little gameplay? Not GOTY.

Game has a lot of approaches on how to beat it, without sacrificing the story? Not GOTY.

Simply no one can't be pleased. This game definitely is a Game of the Year candidate, and it has as much chance to be as the other ones. Quickly throwing this game aside just expecting or wishing for other unreleased games to immediately nab the award is not the wisest thing to do.

Bloodborne or MGS5 it is

MGS4 isnt forgotten despite being exclusive to the PS3, if they would release a remaster it would even more popular. MGS4 aged pretty well for a 2008 game, xbox 360 games not so much in that time periord

In the case of MGS5, the story is sacraficed significantly compared to previous entries. It's barely even there.

I disagree. Fable 2 has aged excepcionally well.

This is such an astoundingly pervasive myth it stuns me.  Last of Us didn't even win the GOTY award at the VGAs.  Both it and BioShock Infinite were nominees;  BTAV won.  And Those 200 GOTY awards?  That's technically true but contrary to popular perception those two hundred don't include all the major awards.  In fact, when you look at the noteworthy ones (for example, the list of GOTY awards on Wikipedia) you see that Last of Us won the largest number of any game that year probably, maybe even over 50%.  But a significant portion were taken by other games, most notably GTAV.  BioShock Infinite did get overshadowed, but this "unprecedented dominance" shtick is really starting to chafe.  Last of Us was dominant, yeah.  But it was not some unprecedented dominance.  It was more comparable to, say, Skyrim which was pretty dang dominant even vs Zelda and Arkham City which were critical darlings.
