Is IGN really ignorant?

What's the name of that douche bag that had this whole thing about gamer entitlement regarding ME3 but also did a whole thing about how fans are in the right for wanting sucker punch to change Cole from Infamous 2 back to what he originally looked like?

Because shit like him.

Did you both miss the Dragon Age 2 review on this website? The pinnacle of RPG gaming?


It's not only IGN that gives out inflated review scores to mediocre-at-best stocking fillers.

You mean that game that, despite being the pinnacle of RPG's, had it's expansion canned?

you said in your post "it's the gaming equivalent to a description of eating a thick grey paste with no taste and give it a 10/10 at the end" which I misinterpreted to mean you were describing MW3 not the review

I was using an expression Jim Sterling used. He once said that reviewers shouldn't be automatons writing the same grey slur and giving the same scores.

A while later Jim Trolling wrote a generic review for MW3 and gave it 9,5/10 like everyone else on the internet.

if he was just the a tiny bit more positive, i would agree with him all the time.

I agree with him all the time. Why? Games are not perfect, and even the games we love have quirks that we constantly complain all the time. Games don't need "positive" reviews. That's what everyone does.

The very same! It also got the shit ripped out of it by user reviews, which led to much metacritic mirth.

They're a bunch of sub-par writers who try to get traffic by stirring up bull shit.

This

Plus they tend to operate on the 60-100 scale instead of the 0-100 scale.

Also, they were clearly in EA's pocket for ME3.

That said they do have some good reviewers and some of their stuff I genuinely enjoy such as "____ In 5 minutes (Sort of)" and their Mass Effect April fools joke thing was awesome.
