IGN: Minecraft 9/10, Celeste 10/10. Do you trust IGN reviews?

[MidWeaKMadNESS]

According to IGN, Celeste is a bigger game than Miencraft and deserve a better score and sales.

They also gave the game Evolve 9/10, according to them, it is as amazing as Dark Souls 2 and Minecraft but not as good as Celeste and BOTW. So be sure to buy Evolve if you trust IGN.

PUBG got 9,5 so it is something in between Minecraft, Evolve, Dark Souls 2 and Celeste, BOTW.

IGN is also well-known for shilling microtransactions, day-one DLC, in game slot-machines for kids, paid online and "$60 myth" through their propaganda videos.

How would you rate your trust to IGN reviews?

Who cares about IGN. You can pay them to rate your game 10/10. Metacritic user reviews are semi-legit

[Aquapura]

IGN is still relevant these days? I just look at steam reviews

PUBG- 9.5
CoD Ghosts- 8.8

I could list more garbage games they gave golden reviews to. :emofdr:

Obligatory pubg fanboy retaliation

Still better than steam user review tho

Hmm, I don't know. So of the reviews I've seen on these so called "professional" websites, read like a Steam review, just with someone who knows how to write

Plus is it just me, or are all of the recent "jornalists" openly liberel? Seriously, is all they think about when they wake, and eat, and go to work, and eat again, and go to sleep, and.....breathe, is sodding politics?

It's no wonder, that most of these people are bats**t insane. Politics this, and t*ts in a japanese game that. Take a breather (a real one) for a few minutes, enjoy the wind on your face, and have a nice hot brew. Ahhhh, thats better isn't it, yes good. Right now.......STOP TURNING A WEBSITE ABOUT GAMES, INTO A POLITICAL RALLY. Thank you:)

I'd trust IGN reviews, but I just can't, they need more water.







Look at me with my original jokes.



Jk I still love me.

"Do you trust IGN reviews?"

NOPE

[Ganger]

I don't take much notice of reviews, metacritc and review scores myself. I do my own research and see if a game will suit me or not. Don't get me wrong, I do read reviews, forums, threads and posts on a said game but I make up my own mind.

Does it actually specifically, explicitly say that:
* it is a bigger game?
* in a comparison between Celeste and Minecraft, Celeste deserves a better score?
* it deserves more sales than Minecraft?

Please provide a link to the Celeste review and highlight/quote the relevant passages.

To answer your question, I need to ask you a question:
Is 9/10 a bigger number than 10/10?

I mentioned it, because a small and unoriginal indie game got a perfect score, while ambitious and industry changing game got 9/10.

It makes Markus Persson's achievment in game development feels lesser than Celeste's achievment.

It rewards mediocrity and underestimating originality.

So, I'll give you point number two based solely on the numbers, but...

4. What are the ratings supposed to mean anyway? Are they rating on how much they like the game? Are they rating on originality/novelty? Are they rating on execution and polish? Are the rating on how influential a game is?

This is important, because you seem to think that the rating is a measure of things like ambition and industry influence and originality. If that's the case, wouldn't this mean that Super Mario Bros., the original Doom, and Final Fantasy VII would have to be rated like 20/10? because they're some of the most influential games of all time. Furthermore, wouldn't this mean that you'd be rating poorly-designed but innovative games higher than more-polished games that use older mechanics?

So it's important to ask what exactly the rating is supposed to mean.

[Hexagon]

All rewievs are subjective. Ones like games more than other no matter if it's a casual gamer or professional gaming journalist. As to comparing scores of games different genre is idiotic. Minecraft have 9/10 as a sandbox game, evolve have 9/10 as a team multiplayer game. Don't think you understand OP how it works. Nevertheless both this ign reviews are bit over the top but still same rule applies.

That's why when you interested in any game read few reviews on different sites, than read steam review than watch some YouTube movie maybe to see gameplay for yourself

I don't understand you guys. Its like saying that every game is 10/10 on their own standards.

No, I'm asking what the standards are.

If your standards prioritize originality, then yeah, a game that isn't as polished but does something stunningly innovative and ground-breakingly influential in the industry is going to get rated better than something that just sticks to a formula but tries to perfect it in subtle ways, and if this is what IGN means to use as their standard, then yeah, their ratings are wrong.

Note: I have not played Minecraft or Celeste. Though I've seen more of Minecraft and know almost nothing about Celeste, but what little I've seen of it makes me think that I'll prefer Celeste over Minecraft.

[Hexagon]

Well general opinion is to never trust ign reviews.lol

[Ralph]

I want to trust them but I can't. They're too bad and seem rigged.
Also they have some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in their reviews that I really hate.
