We're getting into the muddy picks now. Spiderman was great but MGSV is still next level.

Hard choice, I'd give MGSV the gameplay edge, but it doesn't win by a lot, Spiderman has great gameplay. On the other end Spiderman has the edge in terms of story and it isn't even close. Overall I'll give the win to Spiderman.

I loved the gameplay in MGSV but it was an unfinished product. Vote went to Spider-man.

A strong man doesn't need to read the future, he makes his own.
I don't love either of these games, they're both mechanically excellent but suffer from boring, by the numbers open world mission design. I'll give it to MGSV even though it's my most disappointing game of all time.

MGS has the best gameplay out of the two by far IMO. Spiderman was very good and the swinging mechanic was sensational but I'm going with Metal Gear. I'm sad we'll probably never get another one.

Despite it not being finished, I can't vote against Kiefer. TPP is 3rd on my list from this generation (behind BB and OW).

Two EXCELLENT games, platinum'd both of them... but I gotta go MGS here.

MGS V no contest. Probably the best stealth game ever made. One of the best TPS ever made. One of the most open and creative gameplay systems ever made, on par with Breath of the Wild. Amazing game graphically. Amazing framerate.

How is MGSV leading? Sure, Spider-Man was a bit generic and it lacked certain heights and was an overall safe game, but it's definitely more deserving than MGSV, which was an utter wreck.

MGSV of course.
Yes, it was not a perfect game but it had some truly amazing plot moments that only an MGS game can have.
The futility of revenge.
THAT mission, you know which one I am talking about, where I actually felt physically ill afterwards and had to take a break. "We'll make diamonds of their ashes, take them into battle with us. A shining light to our brothers in arms. Even in death."
And that final ending scene were you listen to a certain tape is according to me a brilliant ending to the saga. Because Big Boss and my story are indeed intertwined forever, he was a legend thanks to Metal Gear Solid (and the original Metal Gear games ofc) even before MGS3 came out but has since then been a huge part of my life. A true fourth wall breaking ending that really made me think and feel. The fact that I had made "my avatar" as similiar to me as possible in the beginning of the game helped a lot.

People hated the story/ending/fake protagonist. Gameplay was enjoyable.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
The metal gear series is in a lot of trouble while super hero games like spider-man continue to hammer away at sales.

Spider-Man gets some points because, well, it's an actual finished game, and it is indeed fun...
But MGSV... despite any of its story-related flaws, is the MGS gameplay formula expanded the right amount and perfected. The open world felt a little unnecessary, as it was largely empty outside of enemy bases, but the combat, the loadout depth, the many ways of approaching those bases -- it was amazing. I put 70 hours into that game over five days, it owned my life. Best gameplay in the whole MGS franchise.

First Sonic and now Spider-man. I guess people here don't appreciate icons huh?
MGSV felt very unfinished to me in the story department.
The gameplay was great but it was the only MGS that I never felt the urge to play multiple times. The story was kinda crap...or at least the last half. MGS was/is my favourite game series but MGSV was in many ways a disappointment to me.
I had no complaints about Spiderman.

Damn this is going to be a hard one. Metal Gear Solid V is easily one of the greatest stealth games ever created, I don't know if I'll ever really play a stealth game again on the level of Metal Gear Solid V, but the story (or massive lack of one) is an issue. I can't really put MGSV above Spiderman simply based on Spiderman very much is a complete title in regards to having a solid story, solid gameplay and of great quality.
If Metal Gear Solid V's story could be done based on what Kojima wanted vs Konami, I think ultimately V's story would have been just as good as the other MGS titles, but it feels like Konami doesn't really want to really have a game where you play the "bad guy" and it seems like Kojima had to write around a publisher that simply wants some of theses characters almost flawless. So if we simply got a story about Big Boss starting Outer Haven and Sons of Big Boss being born at the ending etc, I don't think many would be so upset, it simply feels like a Metal Gear Solid game in gameplay only and the story is like....."other" lol.
Its in my top 5 favorite games this generation, but if I have to go part by part, element by element, I can't really put MGSV above Spiderman, as I liked all elements of Spiderman, I simply can't say the same for Metal Gear Solid V.
