yea they are different games. GTA has yet to beat MGS on the storyline (yes i know they have three lead character this time), all you do is just run around doing mission (and yes i am aware that you have more ways to complete a mission). I'd say MGS is closer to Assassin's Creed than to GTA.

Like Mr. Grave above said, it just depends on what kind of fun you are looking for. If you like the AC III or GTA sort of open world with lots of side quests to do, then MGS open world (based on what we saw thus far) would probably not meet your need. If you need a satisfying theme and story, I doubt AC III nor GTA come close to beating MGS.
