"Best of" scandal! Fallout 3 was robbed!

Let me be clear - I don't care which game won the "Best of" awards, but this is shady!

The winner was Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns of the Patriots, below is the link to the video talking about it. Notice anything funny about the link itself?

Now go to the page, anything else seem funny to you?

Looks like Fallout 3 was going to be it, until the last second - and some things, including the link were overlooked...

Real nice, GS.

Try it for yourself, from the main page, click on the best of video - then click to watch in HD, the link it will send you to is the one linked above.

It just seems to me that GS had their Editors winner, which suddenly changed due to popular opinion after voting finished. Splineless.

I did play FO3, but I've seen MGS4 in action.

Not advocating one over the other at this point, but this is pretty blatant.

Or, a web programmer made a linking mistake. You know, things happen sometimes, especially when dealing with web code.SpruceCaboose

Yeah, but the odds of it linking to MGS4's direct competition are pretty low - why not accidentally link to another game on the PS3, or even another game on the best of competition list. If it was an accident, it's pretty miraculous that the best of year video (in HD anyway) is accessible only from the FO3 portal.

And your point being? You can find the link under each games' videos that was nominated.

I think it's because you... uh... accessed the video from Fallout 3?

Example:

OH NOES RESISTANCE 2 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DA WINNA

Metal Gear deserved it...with the perfect score and everything. I would ahve been plesently suprised if it didnt win.

I personally think MGS4 was a better game and that's based off of only what I've seen of it. I've actually played and beaten FO3, and I still think MGS4 is a better game.SmokingBomber

I've already said that I like MGS4 better than FO3...

What part of "I clicked the video link from the MAIN page, not from any of the nominated games pages" do you not understand. Try it for yourself, idiots.

Click on the video link from gamespot.com, then click "watch in HD", it will redirect ONLY to the FO3 page's link.

l2read morons.

Conspiracy theories were just as pathetic when Cows were doing them every 5 minutes... Guess what? They still are :|jonnyt61

They had to wait for Sony's check to clear. Bethesda paid cash money up front but Sony outbid them.
