The Witcher loses

Gs decides the winner.

People vote to sho public opinion.

gs is trying to show they have more power than u guys do.u cant decide whos the winner.

im not voting any sh*t next time.

I have a still full operative PSX, PS2 and PS3, and a powerfull PC, and I can only say: The Witcher is the best RPG in tis year.

I just dont understand how this game doesnt get any to no recognition from gamespot? Maybe it is a PC only game?Jd1680a

Sometimes being a great game just isnt enough

Agreed. It's way better than NWN 2 IMO.

They had to give Playstation at least one award, but none of the PS3 games were good enough.uberchrislol

lol, yeah maybe they were afraid sony would become upset and then someone had to go... (deja vu?)

The Witcher loses best role playing game award even though everyone in the world voted for it. Some game that i never heard of before won and nobody voted for it. I guess ill have to try it.California74

Yea i dont understand it.. the worst RPG of the ones nominated gets the win.. maeks no sense.

The Witcher, Mass Effect and Eternal Sonata all deserve it more IMO

The Editor's choice award is chosen by the "Editors" not the voters. The Witcher won the user's choice award.

Wait, where do they show which one the editors picked? I'm looking in the genre awards section of the 2007 GS awards and it just shows the percentages of members' votes. Anyway, if this is true and they ended up picking one that had a tiny fraction of the votes that the Witcher did, that sucks. I think it is a good idea to not just pick the one that got the most votes everytime, otherwise it's just a popularity contest (not to mention multiplatform games are particularly at an advantage over single platform in that situation). But if one game gets like 40 times the votes of another, and they still just pick the less popular game anyway, it kind of negates the point of even having voting.

Oh well. I just hope they don't also ignore Crysis kicking ass in the best PC game of the year section. :P

Right below the votes theres an envelope looking thing and you click on it to the get the editors choice.pwilletts

Oh, woops. It was so big I figured it was just an advertisement. :P

I can't help but think, that GS is going down the same road as G4 TV.--Anna--

What road is that? I've only been paying any attention to G4 for about a year, so I don't know how they may have fallen from grace over the years.

"action-oriented"? From that I would feel like the guy didn't even play it. The Witcher is definatly the least action oriented RPG is a long time. Which, to me, is a good thing.

the editors are stupid geeks.

and why am i making a big fuss?

becos its rpg we are talking about.

yet gs took it not seriously.i really hope they can compare both witcher and that game.(wateva its called)

I was confused by that too... Aren't the winners picked based on votes? How did 2500 votes beat 42k votes? :?MasterYevon

there are two winners, editor choice winner decided by GS and users choice winner decided by GS. Fair system imo, use whatever you prefer

If someone give the gold medal to a guy in a wheelchair, I will only applaud.

Hard to complains that the guy in the wheelchair isn't a better athlete.

This is just like some peoples would give a better score to Zelda or FF games then to real RPGs. The fact these games barely match the definition of RPGs and are let in almost as a courtesy, is going blind on some peoples.

Maybe they didn't have the same criteria for each game. Witcher is judged by criterias for PC games, those are extremely high. Scoring the same for a console game is a LOT easier, the setting is on easy mode. It isn't against the Witcher itself, it just show the categories aren't really something to mix.

If your 12 years old boy teamwin the Gold, is that better then youradults winning the silver? To some it is. Of course the adults athletes would outperforms the kids on almost every layer.

no one in their right mind has ever thought zelda was an rpg in the slightest.

other than that your point does make a bit of sense

There were only two acceptable choices for RPG of the year. Gamespot didn't pick either one.nocoolnamejim

Jessica Alba. No contest.
