You've been posting from some weird-ass channels lately.
He wrote the 5.9 review for IGN back when people still read reviews. Only one year after the Colonial Marines failure, he likely was part of the reason it didn't get a sequel. Only getting a sequel now because of the new movie and Sega's interest in bringing back IPs following the success of Streets 4. That's why it's only in early development.
Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within that year might be the last games I ever pre-ordered. Didn't care about Colonial Marines even before it was released.

Now, there's been some questionable remakes/remasters/reskins in the last couple of years, but I can't say I've seen one this horrendous. Sure, the GTA trilogy was bad, but that mainly felt due to lack of effort. This Until Dawn remake it's like they actively put effort into making it look worse in every possible way.
So just another ex-goon of IGN barely anyone remembers. Isolation I wouldn't give a 5-6, and more of a 7, but it really needed to get rid of all that padding. That said the game didn't interest me much after one play through. I hope the sequel works on that and doesn't do the working joe's thing again, and don't make the Xenos too invincible.
I pre ordered the second Evil Within. At the time when the first game came out, I didn't have a PS4, until the next year during the summer.
Fuck off Sony.
Make them costly and dangerous to destroy, with flying acid instantly killing you (or causing decompression, depending on where you are), the sounds (unless in vacuum of space) drawing others and precious resources depleted. Could use the environment as well. Crusher presses, molting factories, raised containers...
Put in some decent human AI. The were dumb, shooting at you even with the alien around.
Add full VR support.
There's a mountain of issues I have with the game, but I wanted a sequel ten years ago and still want one now. Wish they'd replace Amanda Ripley, because that story was crappy.
Oh Yes, IGN got so much flame that year. Here are some samples of their reviews. Keep in mind this was back when they used give decimal points to the scores
Alien: Isolation: 5.9/10, "con: Frustrating AI"
Pokemon ORAS 7.8/10, "con: too much water"
COD: AW 9.1/10. "pro: Great Maps and Modes"
Goat Simulator 8/10, "pro: Jetpack Goat!"
Valiant Hearts: The Great War 7.7/10 "con: Intrusive History"
Madden 2015, 8.7/10, "pro: Great Graphics"
And so on. Granted. they did give fair reviews to most of the games that year, but just these few alone (especially for AI and Pokemon) I feel this was the year when their credibility as reviewers got stained. I personally got pissed off on their Valiant Hearts review; The whole game's point is TO TEACH HISTORY INTERACTIVE WAY. WTF did you guys expect? if anything, all those historical facts mentioned in the game were fascinating.
I think the next time they got major flack was when they gave TLOU2 a 10/10 score. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were one of the head instigators who started the flame war and kept adding fuel to the fire

Personally I was more reminded of when Maxis, a studio with veneration behind it, got to see their work replaced by The Sims Studio. It felt like going from a force for some actual creativity to a factory, made to churn out additional expansion packs.
Oh, please; they already losing credibility at the end of 2006. All of these were just a final nail in the coffin.

Why do I get the feeling this project is gonna fall flat on its ass and be a huge waste of.... well, everything?

Bad news guys. Nintendo has announced new hardware, and it's WOKE!
$99 just to have WOKENESS forced down our throats, every day, at set hours!

I genuinely can't tell if you're riffing on the idea of waking up, or if people are actually calling this woke.
Bethesda Design Director Addresses Fan Concern as Starfield DLC Shattered Space Plunges to ‘Mostly Negative’ Steam Review Rating - IGN
One Bethesda developer has responded to fan concern around Starfield and its poorly received DLC, Shattered Space.
I was gonna say kudos to Bethesda for actually acknowledging how disappointing the dlc is, but then the guys name, Emil Pagliarulo, sounded familiar. Turns out this was the guy who went on a long rant in twitter last year when people criticized Starfield
‘Concord’ May Be Coming Back To Life After All
Concord may be six feet underground, but given that it’s spooky season, it’s a perfect time to shoot a hand out of that grave and crawl out again.

No fucking way they are actually trying to bring back Concord.
I mean there is that 1/n chance of an FF14: ARR miracle here, but as we know those are rare occasions.
