MGF GOTY 2025

[Dirty Duck]

UPDATE

I've had a change of heart regarding one of the rules. There will no longer be penalties for incomplete lists. It was probably short-sighted of me to assume that the majority here would have the money/time/desire to play 5 or more games from a single calendar year, and thus it no longer makes sense to me to be awarding reduced points. As a result, the scoring will now simply be 5 points for your #1 game, 4 points for your #2 game et al, regardless of how many total games you list. Naturally I should say that if you've played less than 5 games and you despised one or more of the games you played, you're not obliged to include it on your list.

@NateDog I'm happy to include Delta if you wish? It's a full-on, build from the ground remake, and is therefore worthy to be judged separately from the original Snake Eater imo.

Thanks but honestly I prefer to leave it out. If we're talking about a remake on a bigger scale then sure, but honestly it's pretty much MGS3 as it was with a refreshed coat of paint alongside some updated shooting mechanics (which don't exactly help the balance of the experience in a lot of places as it makes certain sections trivial).

Gee Nate it sounds like you have opinions and should rate the game in the MGS Delta members review thread!

Gee Max it sounds like you should respond to my last WhatsApp message from *checks notes* mid December!

I really don't keep up with modern video gaming that much. The only new game I played last year was Delta. I still have mixed feelings and various nitpicks, but I'd be out of my mind to say it wasn't good.
