are you referring to Disney as a whole or current Disney? I'm asking because several of the earlier films, up to The Little Mermaid at least, did do romance right. Oh geez.

Don't get me wrong, I love it when a game tells a good story, but if the gameplay sucks, the story could be literal Shakespeare and I would not give a damn.

Agreed. MGSV easily has some of the best gameplay of any game I've ever played. There is something straight up magical about the sheer depth of the mechanics and how it lovingly interfaces with the control scheme.

A decent player can simply do the most incredible things, because the game presents you with all these mechanics, provides an excellent interface to using them and then unleashes you into this incredibly beautiul world.

Even more incredible is how MGSV controls so fluidly across all platforms it is made for. While I am a PC gamer at my core, I also picked up a copy for PS4 and I find I can seamlessly switch between both versions of the game with almost no impediment. A PS4 controller and mouse/keyboard are completely different, yet both feel incredibly natural and thought out when playing MGSV.

I have played TW3, and I do enjoy it quite a bit, however the controls are very, very, clunky especially when compared to the masterpiece that is MGSV.

MGSV's story so far is amazing though. Kojima really did a good job showing not telling with this game after recieving harsh criticism over the 12 hour cutscenes in MGS4. People who are saying it lacks story are the same people who think the Souls series lacks story. In both cases its becasue the story is not forced on you, its all about how much you want to examine and explore it.

tl;dr its GOTY if not Game of Forever
