Awesome, never thought it could actually win, but I thought it fully deserves it, Uncharted 2 was the other big contender but had it been the first Uncharted and that awesome from the first one, it had a better chance.

I don't agree with it, I thought U2 should have been the clear winner.

But DS is still deserving, a very good game.

And I voted for it :) This games deserved it but UC2 deserved it too. Maybe they should have given it to both.

That is awesome. Good job Gamespot. You didn't fall victim to hype.

Though, a better upset pick would have been The Sims 3.

Now I want a PS3 even more. :cry:

gamespot is just trying to be different

other sites use .1 increments gs uses .5

uncharted 2 deserves GOTY yet they give it to demon souls

and if demon souls is goty why did infamous get IPOTY?

They disagree, at least they decided as a website, and it wasn't a single person. I loved DA:O but it wasn't as a unique experiance as Demon's Souls, it was pretty much BG2 with better graphics, while a good thing in its own right, Bioware ironically has not evolved much, other then mainstreaming their game systems, they had a big rant about how jRPGs don't evolve but they haven't changed themselves in years.

I haven't tried the game (I don't have a PS3) but from what I've read and heard it sounds like a good pick. I like the fact that they picked one of the games that showed a lot of originality in a year with tons of game (even the good ones) that did relatively little to explore new gameplay.

Can you stop assuming there's always a conspiracy going on? I wanted UC2 and DAO to win too, but whats fact is fact now. :)

Can't argue with this at all. I wanted Dragon Age to win, but Demon's Souls was my other favorite game of the year and one of the best role playing games of the generation in my opinion.

While i think that Demon's was indeed great and deserved its score its not as good as Dragon Age in my oppinion.

UC2 was really good too but had many flaws it was in no way the perfect game some PS fanboys make it out to be. Way too linear for my taste, poor AI and cliché characters. (The russian bad guy - so typical)

Well seems like Uncharted 2 is going to take pretty much all GotY rewards this year (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=381841 .) Its only fair that Demon's Soul gets some love too :)

Hype for what?

Chutebox


Things like Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2. Games that were built up so much by the internet community. GS picked a game they thought should win, not what the masses want.

Woah. RPG of the year, PS3 game of the year AND GOTY? Demon's Souls OWNS.aaronmullan

And it came out of absolutely nowhere. I really, really, really, really, really wish I had a job right now. I really want to play DS, MGS4 and LBP.

What is actually great about this is how this game came out of nowhere and gained it's rep mainly due to word of mouth alone. It is actually refreshing for a change, instead of having one of the usual suspect hype train games winning.

OH YEA WE CALLED IT. Lol at Uncharted fans and their bitter tears. So much for your game's aura of GOTY inevitability.
