most obvious goty since elden ring. IGN know they majorly fucked up
>>736182319That can't be good for whats left of korean pride.
>re-reviewwhat a fucking hilarious concept
re-review means they got a another reviewer. ign has so many different reviewers that you cant take them seriously. one hates jrpgs, the other only praises unreal slop, the other only likes gay games, etc.
>>736182319the fix is in. STOP THE COUNT
>>736182408the fact gaming journalism has led up to this point is just pathetic. how are they bring funded again?
>>736182319We'd like to announce that the check cleared, so we're going to up our review score.
>>7361823190/10 NOT GAY ENOUGH
Here at IGN we strive to publish opinins that please the consensus. We apologize for not predicting the public opinion accurately, and aligning ourselves to it in a way that's safe & pleasing for the reader. We will now walk back on any opinions you might have found offensive and publish the reader-approved opinions instead.Our jobs as journalists, we assure you, are very real.
>>736182319>games should be given weeks/months post launch to become content complete before we review them.>please understand games only have as high as 9 figure budgets these days with hundreds of employees so it's not feasible to believe they can complete a game in just ten years.god I fucking hate modern reviewers. they don't even try to hide that they are in bed with the publishers anymore. it's obvious that they get paid for a score and then they create their review from there.
Doesn’t matter. There will always be an asterisk next to whatever new score they decide to give it, because they aren’t doing it out of anything else except an appeal to quell all the retarded shills who keep harassing them about it. Koreans becoming the new Chinese in terms of being unable to accept criticism.
>>736182489eurogamer, ign, and more are all under the same digital media company. they get funding through gay ads and seo scamming.
>>736182618at least they give it a score. they cant even give tales of graces f a score.
Day zero game reviews have always been useless.
>>736182804they usually get pre release copies dummyIf your game needs patches to be good than fuck it. Sometimes they dont get them
>>736182913It doesn't matter if they had a review copy for months in advance.
>>736182319anon that made this pic called itthey're pretending minuscule patches somehow fixed everything so they were still rightfucking kikes
>>736182319>>736183048laying the groundwork
>>736182319So what does that mean? the check cleared after all or the payment was late? maybe koreans didn't know you have to pay "critics" for good reviews.Anyway, I am glad the trusted reviewers over at IGN, the site we all get our opinions from, are re-reviewing this mid game.
>>736182319>>736183048>>736183139here is how this dysgenic subhuman rat looks btw - in the middle
>>736182319Re-reviewed, it's now a 4/10!Be Care Full What You Wish For
>>736183184they rushed reviewed it. not the first time >>736182717>yeah the game is okay but we cant give it a score or really recommend it
>>736183139any word on them making the other playable characters not completely pointless?
>re-reviewSo they’re going to give it a 6.5?
>>736182319gaming ""journalism"" is such a fucking jokethese dropouts couldn't be real journalists so they do this and pretend they're the real thing

>/v/ suddenly cares what an IGN review says
>>736182319>if you have an opinion defend it!!!>oh but I'll re-review it when I'm asked to!!!????
The game was a 6 before patches though. Engoodenings after release is a bad thing and have become the norm.
>>736183745BASED
>>736182319>most obvious goty since elden ring.unironically howthe game is alright but nowhere near generational/groundbreaking. The pacing is completely fucked up by the shitty sony-tier walk and talk sections and horseback riding follow-alongs with characters that are blander than rocks to support a story that is extremely disjointed. Combat's fun in big groups of fodder but sucks against bosses because most bosses will invalidate a lot of your moves due to hyper-armour or their recovery windows just being too short to pull out anything big so you end up rinsing out the same 2-3 attacks or the Light Flash follow-up because it slows time down and lets you get 6 hits instead of just 2-3. Tech-wise it's also kinda shitty too just because of how bad the lighting system is in regards to temporal accumulation and the base de-noiser (Non Ray Reconstruction) makes the game look fucking terrible in some spots. The game would work way better if they toned down all the forced story shit and just let you focus more on exploration in the main story quests.
>>736182319everyone saying they like it is just coping because they can't refund the $70 after 2 hours
>>736183683>>736183184it's obvious they got raped by normalfags on boomerbook and xitter posting their other reviews for comparison
>>736183819Anti-woke newfag's first open world game
>>736183139It's so funny how desperate (((they))) are to try to gaslight people into thinking this flopped, and Marathon succeeded.
>>736182319I think Crimson Desert will be great, but its also gonna take a while. And by while i mean they will probably keep adding content and fixes so i will probably play it like 2 year from now. Hopefully by that time im married and waiting for my first child, who knows
>>736183819>>736183819>the game is alright but nowhere near generational/groundbreakingcould say the same about elden ring honestly
>>736182618>crying because IGN subhumans got called out >sides with IGNjust so he could seethe at korea (and china)KWABOLAYOU ARE SO RAPED LMAO
>>736183745>>736183814
>>736184108EIGHT POINT EIGHT
>>736184069Also very true, I think it's pretty overrated in comparison to Fromsoft's catalogue. It works extremely well on the first playthrough but is abysmal to try and replay. + their boss design just gets more and more retarded as the games go on which culminates in some of Elden Rings spastic "I throw out a 15 hit combo at lightning speed whilst you spam roll because we made stamina a non-issue, then you can get 2 hits in before we do this dance again"
>>736183991I hate thats games now. shit at launch and "its gonna take a while" for it to get good. both monster hunter wilds and dragons dogma 2 launched in absolute appalling states and didn't get fixed until 9-12 months later.
>>736183991Why do fags like you simp for games and have zero actual standards or expectations? If it's mediocre, it's mediocre. Bloating it with random crap and changing some numbers won't change that.
>gookshills went quiet when I posted a image with the small pp gestureHoly shit they really are that weak
>>736182408Why? Lets say a game releases like shit, but it gets fixed a few months later.Me, the consumer, reada the day one review and knows not to buy it because it has issues, but then a few months later a new review drops and it lets me know its better now.Seems pretty end user based and a good thing. >but muh steam reviews90% is going to be "could pet the cat 10/10" or "hit enemy X with item B and now he did a Y, would B with X again 10/10" nonsense
>>736183048>5 Million sold in 2 weekswhy lieFTFY
>>736183242this tard never upgraded his gear and wonders why bosses bodied him so he gave it a 6
>>736182408Happens quite oftenhttps://www.gamespot.com/reviews/bioshock-infinite-a-fan-scorned/1900-6415464/
>>736184436it was based on that one articlebut that shit is also wrongit's 4
>>736184436>>736184595fuck I'm a retardit is 4 in 2 weeksI was thinking about how it sold 2M in 24 hours
>>736184715
>>736183745this but unironically
>>736183745good because JP is woke
>>736184296They're half newfags half culture war autists. Crimson Desert is the absolute typical 7/10 game like DDDA is. Nothing wrong with being a 7/10 game but journos keep pumping the rating inflation so anything under 8.5/10 is seen as dogshit.
>>736182319What a joke. They've given tons of great Nintendo games low reviews but they immediately bend the knee from a little pressure from retards complaining about this shit game? You serious?
>nintoddller tantrum
>>736185332kek
>>736182319They've already lost all of their credibility over the years, who takes IGN seriously nowadays?
>elden ring Oh boy I sure do love empty ass over world for.nonrrsson from dungeon to dungeon that's just padding
>>736182408If a game gets significant updates that fixes the problems it has, then what's the problem that it's getting a re-review?
All game sites should do the famitsu thing of having multiple people review a game.
>>736182319The amount of seething CD causes is worth the money I spent on it alone lmao
>>736183745nips lost
>>736184465This image reminded me of the IGN review where they said the soundtrack for DMC5 was shit as the beat never kicked in.While I dont play DMC myself, I know that games soundtrack only kicks in when you are playing well and getting SSS and shit
>>736186475They have a bunch of gems. They played one DMC game with easy automatic mode on stream. Which makes a bunch of directional moves easier to perform by making them automatic, but this stifles the combo creativity.Also Ace Combat 7 director was horrified when he saw journalists play with simplified/novice control mode, which also makes the game really easy but it's meant for kids.Vidya journos are barely human.
>>736185076>nothing wrong withExcept /v/ will shit on a game for being 7/10Actually /v/ shits on everything so it earns these reactions
>>736183745All Jap woman will be made to service Big Korean Cock
>>736184482>>736182408Imagine if they re-review it and give it a lower score
The game was an absolute fucking shitshow before launch and we know they were doing daily patches during the entire review process to try fix it based on the feedback they were getting.Reviewers literally had 20 inventory slots and there werent constant slots being handed to you from quests.
>>736182319This really is elden ring all over again kek
>>736183048holy based oracleposter
>>736184296Because i have like 50 other games to play. What do i care if the game is early access tier, im not gonna play it now.
>>736182319What are these dumbfucks doing?DF did it after the DLSS fiasco tooYou just end up reminding everyone you're retarded twice
>>736182319>re-review>give it an even lower score
>>736184482basedinfinite was fucking dogshitterrible shooterterrible story
>>736182408If games are patched post release, why shouldn’t those be taken into consideration?
>>736182319I can’t believe they didn’t put sexy big tit women in crimson desert. I only cared about black desert because of the sex
>>736182319>MMOfaggots hype this up for ages>Turns out that it is excessively mid
>>736187038all 3 inches...
>>736186798>Also Ace Combat 7 director was horrified when he saw journalists play with simplified/novice control mode, which also makes the game really easy but it's meant for kids.The ux devs are to blame for this one, they shouldn't have called the normal flight controls 'expert'. People who aren't familiar with the series or flying probably thought expert controls were some kind of flight sim shit. What they should have done is called 'expert' normal, set that as the default and then call the old 'normal' simplified or casual some shit like that.
>"gamers" get so mad marathon gets a 9/10 that they demand a completely different game get re-reviewedhuh?
>>736182319lollmao
I know Travis personally and he will give it a 6 again. He hated this game and wanted to rate it 3/10 but was not allowed.
>>736182408For how unfinished games still are, I'm surprised this isn't standard practice by now
>>736183048CD is the only one of these three that looks like AI generated(and it might as well be when you actually look around interiors not even talking about the paintings)
the game is not even top fucking 200 on Xbox. no one has bought this game except for retarded pc fags and even they all left in droves what the fuck did they do with marathon and why are outlets continuing to embarrass themselves and be clowned on by everyone with these absurd review scores for it?
>>736182319It's dogshit. The 6/10 was more than fair, if not actually a much higher score than it deserves. Time to kys shill.
marathon reviews coming out after a month with scores like these are just comical. the re review is just more retardation. these “journalists” must be counting their days, they’re first in line to be replaced by AI slop. increasingly desperate bribery and clickbaiting engagement, pathetic
>>736190507That would have been based. A 3/10 is way more accurate.
>>736190507>>736190747the way he talks about it he should’ve given it a 3 why the fuck did ign not let him, fucking garbage websitehe said it right, comparing marathon and crimson desert is like comparing a michelin star meal to mcdonalds.
>>736190747calling yourself based is pretty cringe, travis
>>736190507>2 months later >crimson desert has had so many patches the game is completely different from launch >travis re reviews it >5/10imagine the seethe from crimsonpajeets. absolute cinema, if he and IGN pull this off I will kneel
>>736190507Travis you’re not subtle, you’ve been hanging around here promoting your shit for a few daysyou realize that you’re now in morgan park tier right? enjoy being clowned on for all eternity…
April fools?
>>736191026I don't think Marathon is great, but Crimson Desert is offensively bad and I regret buying it badly>>736191113ABSOLUTE CINEMA
he should re review it and give it a 3/10. let him re review bloodborne too I hear he has some thoughts about it
>>736182408Not really, if someone were to review Ocarina of Time in 2026 it wouldn't get above a 7
>>736182319>another astroturfed shit like e33 will win gotyWow
WHY THE FUCK DOES /v/ FUCKING CARES ABOUT GAME JOURNO OPINIONSYou'd think you faggots would have learned by now they're not fucking trustworthy, regardless of what score they give a game.>they didn't realized how to level up in mass effect>they never managed to get a good enough score in DMC5 to make the music kick in>literally stuck in the tutorial on how to jump and dash in a platformer
>>736192226Because while we know better, plenty of others don't. There's been quite a few cases of entire companies being screwed over by negative covering from westoid game journalists.
That IGN cuphead video was comical.I think the only good reviewers are those who review souls games because most of them actually play it and are more skilled than your average player. This IGN guy meanwhile has no taste or is just a shill, Halo 5 10/10, Marathon 9/10 and Avowed, Highguard and Concord 7/10 from what I know.
>>736183702Let's deboonk these retarded claims:>the number of new studios would fallFalse, and I have no idea why he correlates the presence of journalists to the ability to establish new studios.>the number of paid influencer campaigns would riseTrue, but only a little. This is also a hilarious accidental betrayal of journalists taking money from game companies, because it implies if you have journalists you don't need as many paid influencer campaigns, which means journalists are doing the same kind of PR work LOL>the cost of making games would increase due to needing a significantly larger ad spendNo, that money would just go to influencers and stealth marketers. This one is also a hilarious 'did you mean to say that' mask slip of admitting journalists are basically a paid extension of marketingt. gamedev
>>736187552It's ego and needing to 'correct the record.'
Crimson Desert is mid.
>>736191113Nta, as someone with korean family I can tell you poojeets resent and hate the koreans because they're not accepting of nor tolerated of them over how ugly they are. It's quite funny really
>>736182319Why don't they re-review Prey, a game that actually deserve a good score and was reduced to *muh bug on release 6/10"
>>736182408Polygon redid their review on sim city 2013 four times when the game was garbage. The game was so bad EA gave out refunds or another 60 dollar game of your choice to make up for the disastrous launch. Polygon said it was a 9.5/10 and ended up brining it all the way down to 4/10 lol
>>736182319it's just Korean ubislop lmao
Can someone QRD me on CD? Is it just Korean Elden Ring, where the combat is the focus, or Korean Witcher 3 where there's rollslop combat, but the focus is on stories/quests and side shit like crafting?
>>736193493it’s ai slop even ac shadows is better and that was ass
>>736182408I don't see anything wrong with re-reviewing a game. I think it's unfair to not consider updates to games like No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077. What bothers me is that people only talk about this in cases where it's favorable to the game. I think reviewers should revisit games when they get worse too, especially MMOs and live service games. For instance, FFXIV: Endwalker was reviewed well at launch when the only thing it added to the game was the story. Two years later, the gameplay additions were widely considered to be disappointing. But it still maintains a 92 metacritic score. Reviews are pretty useless for games like this because they're written when most of the content isn't playable yet, and only exists as a promise from the developer.
>>736193493>korean elden ring>korean witcher 3it's neitherit's basically a ubisoft open-world rpg with numerous mechanics, some good some bad, while also taking notes from GTA and RDR but not always in the best way. like how you're forced to engage with the story to unlock important game mechanics but the story is pretty weak. on top of that you can't skip cutscenes, only fast forward them and there are numerous "follow/walk with this npc and listen to them" moments like GTA and RDRthe world is frankly huge and fun to explore sometimes but i feel people are overrating this game just because some reviewers didn't like it
>>736193965>I think it's unfair to not consider updates to games like No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077. I don't. Release a game that's shit at launch, receive bad scores. Want higher scores? Make the game good before you start selling it.
>>736182408goes to show how unprofessional they are
>>736193493Korean Ubisoft game.
>>736194004Thanks for spoonfeeding me, and what you described reminds me of Days Gone more than Ubisoft games
>>736194154>Days Gone more than Ubisoft gamesi've never played days gone but this game literally has bells you can ring to reveal more of the map, just like ubisoft towers
>>736193493It's Dragon's Dogma offline without character creation or magic.
>>736194154it's also refreshing to play a game that just gives you an X to go to. No inner dialogue of your character solving shit for you or suggesting shit. It's just you, your own thoughts and how you want to approach stuff.
>>736194216It does have magic just not big showy spells.
>nu-/v/ siding with IGNjesus this board is beyond fucked
>>736194307isn't the magic just weapon buffs?
>>736193493Neither. It's Korean Assassin's Creed with some BotW puzzles. The combat is magnetic shit that basically plays itself.
i dont follow gaming drama or games reallycan someone give me a qrd on this game?
>>736194060people who are looking up reviews right now don't care about your grudge from 5 years ago, they want to know if it's good right now.
>>736184108what's the use of game journalists when their tastes are so different from the average gamer?
>>736194309Which nu-/v/? The one that agreed with IGN's initial rating or the one who is praising them to re-review the game?
>>736194484it's a weird game that spent all of the budget on making a cool looking world and political people skilled it for some reason amd now /v/ is mad that it got mixed reviews
>>736194309The game is trash and their score is correct. Cry about it.
>>736194309>If you don't shill the 7/10 game you must side with IGNYou're the exact same low IQ retard as the 'pick a side in the jew-muslim war or you're the other side I don't like' crowd.
>>736194631both
>>736194703>am I cool yet guise
>>736194361That's one of the more common uses for it. You can also just use each element as some kind of attack/utility on its own. Each character has slightly different ways of using the elements besides Ice which seems to just do an AOE freeze. Some of these would look differently if I had an enemy to target but there weren't any around.
>>736194703Their score is incorrect, the game is a 3regardless, siding with IGN just because they happen to agree with your opinion this time is fucking retarded and makes you a hypocrite. Or are you gonna say their dragon age score was correct?
>>736194801oh sick
TORtanic ruined this board. The reddit tourists don't know the right games to hate.
>>736194309I doubt nu-/v/ even plays games nowadays.
>>736183702Because of industry collusion, they're fully enabled though. Streamers don't get the privilege of deciding a game's metacritic score, even though they have the same qualifications. In many case more qualified.Games journos enjoy that power. If it was taken away, most of them would fuck off as well, since nobody would have a reason to care what they say over anybody else.
>culture war retards think the devs are somehow le hecking based (how??? because they're eastern?) and that therefor the game they make MUST be good, and that marathon, because its made by woke western devs MUST be bad>proceed to throw a melty when crimson desert gets reviewed fairly with a 6/10 and marathon gets a 9/10 because how could this happen? the devs are woke how can their game be better? it MUST be bias and paid reviews>neither game is woke or anti-woke to begin with
>>736186132>>736187742>>736193965Most games nowadays are pushed out before they are ready due to investor pressure, that the game might review like shit because it is a broken mess is one of the few arguments against that they'll listen to. Vain I know, since all reviews are paid for but the industry doesn't need further excuses to pull this shit.
>>736195124ToT
>>736195336This about sums it up. Though I don't really think Marathon is above a 7/10.
>>736195470I don't think it really matters. Buying games as soon as they launch is retarded anyway. Besides, what's to stop investors from pressuring studios into ruining a well-reviewed game with retarded microtransactions?
>>736182408>Skyrim should be judged in 2026 by the state it released in 2011 with no modsKill all FOMO tards who only play the newest things once then move on like goy cattle.
>>736183139I actually don't see the issue with this article? that article isn't written by the same guy.
>>736195124/v/ never played video games
>>736195336No one should trust game reviewers regardless of what score they gave these two games./v/ is just extremely hypocritical.
>>736195336at least the wojak in this image forms his own opinion on the movie, even if he's a retard that looks at reviews just to validate his opinions.
>>736195336CD is a 7/10 and Marathon is a 4/10
>>736195336I only look at audience scores for movies i think about watching. I'll weigh critics if it looks like its just a stupid meme movie.I really only look at steam reviews, and sometimes i'll look up un commentated gameplay videos
>>736196219Other way around
>>736196248steam reviews are good because it requires you to own and have played the game>marathon has 85%people dont like this for some reason
>>736182408They should also re-review some nintendo titles and remove the nintendo bonus.
>>736196425Steam reviews are terrible. 90% are "10/10 can pet the borker flooferino" or the lazy checkbox style reviews to farm awards.
Reviews haven't mattered for at least a decade. It's all about paying streamers to say nice things now, not paying jurnos.
>>736182319Pathetic cucks. Why don't they do it for every game then?
>>736191891I was really disappointed by that game by the time I played it. What's it have a fucking 99 on metacritic, it ain't no 99 for real.
>>736183991Right now it's a 7/10 because everything control related really is just that bad. >Is crouch ctrl like every other game?>>No it's C>Oh, is block right click like every other game?>>No, it's ctrl>Oh, where is the heal button?>>f3>What?>>Also if you want to leave that screen, hold esc then use the mouse wheel to scroll to the exit button>Uh, I can change these right?>>Only on pc, and doing so will desync many other skills from sharing the same key and possibly outright break themThe flat out retarded controls scheme and needless extra hoops you have to do to accomplish what should have taken a single button press is never ending with this game and if the rest of the game.
>>736186309This is the one and only take with integrity on how to handle this issue,solve so many things at once, especially if those reviewers come from different corners of genres giving their take>>736196578True but then there are streamers with big reach who get paid for disingenuous promotions,which puts us back to point uno of the issue
>>736183139the difference is that cyberpunk actually was an unplayable mess at launch
>>736182319>didn't get paid >give shit review>oh fuck the game is actually good>better change the review so we don't look like retardsit's so fucking obvious
>>736193493Its korean botw
>>736199647it's also obvious why they waited until now to give marathon a 9
>review game to give people your impression>see people like it>change review to match their impressionwhat's the fucking point then
Good re-review, guys.
>>736196570>remove
>>736183991
>>736182319>IT GETS GOOD 30 HOURS IN>IT GETS GOOD AFTER 10 PATCHES>I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE
Lol these autistic reviewers have no credibility, if I see something interesting I'll try it myself, who gives a fuck what some retard at whateverthefuck inc. thinksThe fact that they're back peddling on their stance destroys all their credibility lel
It's wild how he says "I waited for marathon because I wanted people to get the whole picture" and then reviewed pre-release crimson desert. If he felt so strongly about his journalistic convictions, why wouldn't he have waited a month for "launch troubles" to give way to a "fuller picture"?Just laughable shit.
>>736201072kino
Game journos are completely worthless
maybe IGN played on a base ps5?
>>736182319>>736184427Why not make the game right the first time around and release it finished and thoroughly tested instead of this hack shit where they're trying to change the tires while the car is driving?
>>736201337stop acting like this is some new shitthis shit has been commonplace for more than a decade at this point
>>736201380And you think that makes it acceptable?
>>736201380>Something being commonplace means it's acceptableYou truly are a pathetic specimen.
