IGN is best! <3

This is the non-"fake gamer" equivalent of saying murder is a fun and enjoyable pastime

I mean if you are a gamer that also is a serial killer that still works.

So much anger.

Such opinion. Much bias.

(trying to make a Balkie type quote. A better way to say it?)

What you've just said chokes my soul, it upsets me greatly. I have gone through this agonising journey of typing with my injured wrist, just for you to tell me I'm a no-good biased snotball

Just look how they massacred my boy, Joel deserved better

The way I see it, we can't get political news right, and the only thing people have a harder time being objective about than politics is video games.

Yep. Every child thinks his opinion is the bestest of all time and is fact.

You already got me malding, I suggest you go back to Tim Hortons where you came from, instead of costing me another container of Rogaine

All those "big review sites" became publisher's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years ago. Can't trust any of them.

[Masque]

I read four sites -- and their comment sections.

Of the four, the best is Destructoid.

PC Gamer is good, too.

Polygon I like, too, believe it or not.

Dark Side of Gaming has my favorite articles.
----
That said, DSoG has the worst comment section on the entire internet. Most of their commenters seem to not like anything -- nothing is good, nothing was good, nothing will ever be good, and everything will always be garbage. The most negativity I've ever seen, and if I worked as hard on the articles as they do, I'd turn off comments forever or ban 90% of them and force registration.

Polygon allows mostly intelligent, civil disagreement, (moreso than Steam OT, for sure) and there are some good opinion writers on both sides (there are two sides, face it, we all know it), and even though it's largely one-sided, they treat the minority opinion will respect for the most part. Lots of coverage of drama in the culture and companies. Lots of well-written essays about culture, comics, games, and films -- even if I disagree with the opinions of many of the authors.

Destructoid commeters are of a hive mind, and it may as well be Tumblr when anything remotely controversial is discussed in the article, but this is fairly infrequent because Destructoid articles are mostly about games and only about games -- not about drama in the culture or the companies. But to the commenters, they are like automatically-swarming antibodies to any opinions that are not in perfect alignment with the current dogma.

PC Gamer's Andy Chalk likes to write controversial articles and turn off the comments on them -- even though the readership is probably the most sane, grown-up, and balanced of all four sites. PC Gamer's comment capriciousness is closest to Steam OT in terms of shutting down interesting conversations. But the articles are quite professional, so I like the site.

IGN and Gamespot (and recently Rock Paper Shotgun) are on my Do Not Visit list.

I will occasionally read a review on the IGN site also PC Gamer and Eurogamer but my favorite site is gamebase

Both are paid to give a certain minimum score and often have no clue about what they are reviewing, most of the journalist are not avid gamers or old gamers for that matter...
I´ve seen journalist that likes Animal crossing and never ever played a RPG be handed a RPG to review............... Then complaining about the RPG having RPG elements.........

Anyway... look up the gamespot scandal (were they fired a journalist for just being honest and giving a low score, but Gamespot had promised the publisher good review scores, after getting a bag of gold)

Both are junk.
