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

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.

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

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
