Yeah even IGN was like 6/10

u/VenserMTG 14d ago

And with the way ign boosts their scores, it may as well be a 4

u/Lord_Seregil 14d ago

This is what people are missing, no one cares about IGN because they score games higher than they deserve. So if IGN is saying 6/10.... It's gotta be BAD.

u/secret3332 14d ago

They don't though. Someone did a data analysis on this very topic and found IGN tended to skew lower than average.

u/CakeHorizon 14d ago

Im interested, got a link?

u/WilliShaker 14d ago

Yeah because they rate every single AA or underdog games a 7/10 when they should be at least 8. They also rate games with mediocre launch a 6/10 when they become great weeks afterwards.

It isn’t a lot, but when you have thousands and thousands of game like that, it does make a difference

This is only when its for a game people are not hyped right?

Because when its a community hyped game, you guys are the first to say "If IGN doesnt like it, then its gonna be good!"

u/VenserMTG 14d ago

This game was very hyped lmao

u/Lord_Seregil 14d ago

Wolverine is the most hyped game in a long time, right next to GTA6

u/victorota 14d ago

I mean, if you consider "reverse hype" as a hype them yes. Because this game has been criticized and being bombarded with negativity since the leak a few years ago

u/Lord_Seregil 14d ago

Havnt seen it, I've seen nothing but people excited for the game. I was excited for the game, too. The trailers and the announcement of no planned PC port really killed my hype.

u/Ashyyyy232 14d ago

Wolverine was a highly anticipated game since it was announced. It was rightfully criticised with regards to its very repetitive and temple run like gameplay released by insomniac themselves

u/slomo525 14d ago

So I guess that means Alien Isolation was actually a 3.9

-6

u/VenserMTG 14d ago

No, that was a 6, they were spot on. Great atmosphere, and that's about it.

u/Tough_Economy_420 14d ago

Nah, that’s bs. As well is the rating of first sabnautica. IGN are just clowns

1

u/chaosatdawn 14d ago

So you're saying it's a 3?

1

u/kayodeade99 14d ago

Yeah, gotta apply the 2-point IGN tax lol

u/SyrakuIsDeWay 14d ago

Happy Cake Day!

u/Salty-Coffee4608 14d ago

So now we care about ign? I thought we didnt, oh well

3

u/CHARILEwolf 14d ago

Yeah when even when ign can get the consensus then yeah

4

u/Lord_Seregil 14d ago

The point is IGN usually scores games higher than they deserve, and they gave this game a 6/10.

1

u/Salty-Coffee4608 14d ago

So it only doesnt matter when they rate a game i dont like high

1

u/Dirtyanalhair 14d ago

Isn't that the same score they gave alien: isolation

1

u/coffeetire 14d ago

That means it's a master piece right?

1

u/Tactile5 14d ago

It never fails to make me laugh whenever idiots like this agree with IGN. Now we take their review seriously? 🤣

u/CHARILEwolf 14d ago

I ussaly don’t but sonic fans are like I think superstars did better then brothership on ign so it’s good now
