Had to go with RDR2 because MGSV disappointed in terms of story.
If it wasn't so I'd vote for MGS because the gameplay is that much more responsive.
Arthur deserves it though.
One more job.

From a technical standpoint RDR2 is amazing, but from a gameplay perspective it’s abhorrent IMO.
MGSV has the best third person stealth mechanics ever.
so...MGSV

I get the story complaints about MGSV, and I don't understand why they paid Kiefer Southerland to grunt a few times.
But it's the best playing open world game ever and that matters dammit.

MGS V because the gameplay is just lightyears ahead of the gameplay in RDR2. In MGSV you can approach missions any way you want; in RDR2 you get mission fail for veering slightly outside of the mission area. World economy in RDR2 was badly broken and the game wasn't close to well-balanced.

This is a nice match.
A great story without a good gameplay.

Oof, this is going to be a close one.
None of them are close to being the GOTG for me, but I think I still prefer MGSV.

How could you vote against a game that was actually complete? I loved both, but based on that merit alone the choice was easy for me personally.

Since Micah has a punchable face, I vote for RDR2. As much as I like MGSV, it is still incomplete game.

Pretty close for me. I love both and I think that MGS V is a complete game. Whether or not people see it that way doesn't matter in the eyes of how Kojima wanted it to be.
MGS V was never meant to be a product that gave you all the answers with a perfectly wrapped up story. People still feeling the phantom pain huh.
It is a complete game, but it is not the game that people wanted it to be and that is the point of the game. It would have been impossible to release a final MGS game that would satisfy everyone.
Quite funny that people think it was completely botched when you had to weirdly redo missions you already did and they believe that Kojima (or other people at Konami) didn't realize it, because they are "just so god damn bad. they are a hack!" when the game is throwing the phrase "Proxy war without end" right at you.

No one who has played both will say RDR 2.
MGS V in terms of shooting/combat mechanics, is the best 3rd person shooter ever.
RDR 2, like most western games, hide behind high production values and grandeur. The gameplay itself is super meh.

MGSV is by far the better game in terms of mechanics and systems, but I loved RDR2 more.

Easily RDR2 for me. MGSV was the worst in the series in my opinion, and my personal biggest disappointment this gen. It's the best the series has ever felt to play, but completely drops the ball in terms of story, which is the absolute main reason I loved the Metal Gear series to begin with.
That's me on this one, too.

I don’t get the complaints about MGS story. It’s always been garbage as far as I’m concerned.
MGS takes this one. RDR2 might just be the worst-playing AAA game since...I don’t know, GTA V?

Red Dead 2 is my vote. I really liked Metal Gear V, but not nearly as much as Red Dead 2. I put over 400 hours into RDR2. I got lost in that world.

They both suck but I’ll vote for MGSV because it sucked less. How either made it this far is the real surprise.

Never played MGS5 so I can't comment on it, so I voted Red Dead 2.
I played RDR2 and greatly enjoyed it's fantastic story and characters. But I can definitely see the flaws in it's gameplay systems and Rockstar's open world design. Playing Ghost of Tsushima made it more obvious that Rockstar really needs to up it's game.

MGS5, for sure. Amazing conclusion to Big Boss's story, and one of the most entertaining sandboxes of the generation.

RDR2 shits all over MGSV in just about every aspect except controls and gameplay mechanics imo, but RDR ain't so bad once you get used to it. It's a tough one because gameplay is so important, but man MGSV is just so meh otherwise that I have to go with RDR2. Once you get into the thick of the game, it's a far more rewarding experience.

I can't believe this voting.. there is no way that MGS5 beats out RDR2. What are people smoking?

I know. It's almost like people are voting based on gameplay - the most important aspect of a game. Crazy.

If this tournament comes down to Bloodborne vs MGSV, I'll do the same. Full homo.

are in a big trouble
I absolutely love mgs but the fact MGSV is winning is just stupid. MGSV is the worst in the series. Its terrible unfinished extremely repetitive and overall has the worst bosses in mgs history.
You land in a helicopter over and over only for the game to tell you who'll you meet in the mission basically spoiling it for you could you imagine this happening free fucking fight sniper wolf in mgs1.

Its because the hate has cleared and people see MGSV for what it really is now. One of the best games ever.
The gameplay mechanics is delicious And amongst the best

I want to say RDR2, but I can't get invested at all. I've tried playing it so many times and it never grips me. It's too much of a slow start. I must have restarted it 3 times and never gotten past Valentine. It looks like it would be so amazing, but everything is too time consuming.
I loved MGS5. Such a great stealth sandbox. Gameplay is king with this one. It gets my vote for holding my attention until I beat it.
