Game of the year? Considering the onslaught of amazing games this year, that's saying a lot. Just take a look at the list - God of War 2, Metroid Prime 3, Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, and the list goes on.

Those are consoles. PC Gaming is totally different.

Re: The Witcher is getting awesome ratings..
You call gaming journalists professionals? The same guys who give Oblivion a 9 and an awesome review and who, when writing a review for the 'next' rpg, bash Oblivion because of it's flaws?
Also, I'm pretty surprised at this game. It has even managed to please the Codex, which only really really good games manage to...

As a general rule, I don't believe scores by user reviewers. I really enjoyed Zelda: Twilight Princess, and would give it a score well above 9/10. Some reviewers ranked it below 9/10 for certain reasons - blandness of the music, tacked on Wii controls, few new innovations, etc. These are things that should be taken into consideration that many users would not do. edit: Plus Assassin's Creed is also a PC game.

Re: The Witcher is getting awesome ratings..
I too go by user reviews. Not 1 or 2 of them, but I glance all of them usually. Users aren't biased or bought, and will not hold back when bashing or praising a game. I do the same on Amazon.com because most of the pro reviews are slanted or "sponsored". Ebay for example, is virtually policed by user reviews and ratings and is very successful using that system. The community decide, as the gaming community should too.

So is anyone here offended by the "huge" amount of foul mouthing and nudity in this game? I can imagine it is a rare example of a game that goes reasonably far in it's maturity.

Re: The Witcher is getting awesome ratings..
I'm as offended as i'd be if they did the unthinkable and added blood and gore in games They're all pixels, still can't believe it's been censored in the US, wtf? That san Andreas game was worse.

Re: The Witcher is getting awesome ratings..
I just picked up the Witcher, and am about to apply the patch before I start playing. I'll put up my impressions tomorrow, unless I'm so busy playing that I can't be bothered.
