Hey it's that Mysterio guy again!! :eek:

Who are you? Show yourself! :mad:

I would have posted a thread for Resident Evil even if it got a crappy score. You want to know why? I am keeping track of this game because I liked this game when I played it (which is not too far back) and I want to know if it's worth buying right now. It got a good score, so I really want this game. Hell, I'm posting IGN's score when it comes (if it's not insider :D).

Of course there are people here who aren't like that... but these same people aren't Nintendo fans are they?

Like ??? showed in the quote, I serperated the Fanboys from the Fans... Fans just judge off of what they play, and they don't have any bias when it comes to reviews, if a place is once trusted, it's always trusted. Fanboys will get mad if a game on thier system gets a bad review.

Like I said before, IGN used to be loved so much and used so much in arguements the first year I was at Nintendose/ND.net/Gametavern, that you'd think IGN was the only source on the net.... the wierd part is, Ps2 was getting bad scores, and N64/Dreamcast were geting good scores... Now that GCN gets lower scores than Xbox, these same people are acting like IGN is the worst source for reviews.

If Nintendo was still geting thier weenie sucks at IGN, you guys would still love and respect the site... and to me (One of the biggest debaters on the board), this is a good reason to be pissed off about it.

Is this arguement done, or are you going to make another dumb post so I can say the same arguement over?

Blackmane 03-18-2002 02:02 AM

I agree mostly with Justin.

*chokes on his own spit in surprise*

I was like that myself at first. I used to trust IGN for reviews, mainly because I made myself believe that they were fair reviews when in fact the only reason I liked them so much is because they gave the N64 games good rating. I started to get mad at them for giving bad ratings to the GameCube games and getting pissed that X-box games were higher. I finally realized that those actions are all my fanboy tendancies and I think I've got it under control. (God, I sound like I'm in a therapy group spilling my guts :D).

Anyway, the point is, we shouldn't be all hypocritical about IGN and Famitsu ratings just because of their certain bias'. That is there opinion and a decent indicator of the quality of the game, but it doesn't determine if you like the game or not.

I disagree! I think IGN started to being dislike when they started charging for their service. and so everybody critizes it. Their review, their previews, their articels, everything. BTW, Famitsu has been the only one to review it. I think the other sites will give it a score just as impresive. And the game is going to be awesome for what we have seen. Stop bitching.

Xantar 03-18-2002 09:35 AM

It's true that people dislike IGN for charging for Insider stuff, but it isn't until recently that people started calling them biased. When IGNinsider was first announced, people called them greedy but not biased. Now that IGN is posting reviews of GameCube games that are mediocre, people are calling them biased.

The simple fact of the matter is that right now, at this time of the year, the games being released on GameCube are not the highest quality around.

BigJustinW 03-18-2002 11:17 AM

Thank You Blackmane... you earned a lot of respect from me for that post....

What does this have to do with anything???

I never said that RE1 will be crap, I just said you guys are quick to post a good score, and you are quick to bash a site for a bad score.

BigJustinW 03-18-2002 11:45 AM

Just testing this system Xantar

GameMaster 03-18-2002 04:30 PM

There never was an argument Justin, I just don't like how you generalize everyone by one person. I agree with your statements however. What do say, are we on good terms now?

Well I guess I'm not the only one who has heard things like "Why pay for some stupid extras and some ****ty reviews?" or "they suck". So, IMO everybody started hating everything that's related to them. And the famitsu thing is because it sounded as if you were trying to say that if IGN or anybody else gives it a bad score, then people will start saying they're biased. Also, when you have high expectations about something and it doesn't live up to the expectations, you just don't talk about it anymore. You don't buy the game or anything related. You just stop caring about it, so MAYBE that's why people don't make threads saying "Hey this game got a bad review". Don't you think? :hmm:
You lost much of my respect with that stupid coment.

Uhh.... and when Xbox gets better scores than Gamecube at IGN, how does this hurt IGN's reputation among Nintendo fans???

IMO, I think IGN has graded failrly, even when DC was getting higher marks than Ps2....

The fact is, IGN was the most respected site on the boards (for reviews), why was that?

Now IGN is one of the most disrespected sites (for reviews) on the boards, why is that?

Simple, the preferd system was getting better scores than any other system... now the preferd system is getting worse scores than any other system. The site used to be fair when Nintendo was ruleing, now it's unfair....

look at blackmane's post...

You don't know wtf you are talking about

Blix 03-19-2002 09:22 PM

I think people are just angry with IGN. If black mane said what he said that's his problem. Don't generalize. I've hear XBox fans critize it too. At Gamerweb. And PS2 fans too. mostly ps2 fans. I guess they should be mad at their scores.:rolleyes: Maybe it's just that I don't think I know it all.

When did I say it's only Nintendo fans???

I just thought this board was smater than that....

I go to a horridly biased Xbox board (which has about 200 more members than GT) and they rarely ever dis Gamespot for the scores... in fact, they don't post scores from any sites... the only score topic I seen come up is the 6.9 vs 9.4 comparision of RIW for Xbox..

That NEEDS to be discussed....

But Nintendo's scores are generally the same at Gamespot and IGN, yet IGN gets put down for letting Cube have lower scores than Xbox.

I still think it's because they started charging. Rather than because they give 'em lower scores. I mean, like you said "But Nintendo's scores are generally the same at Gamespot and IGN, yet IGN gets put down for letting Cube have lower scores than Xbox." Nobody ever had any problem with the gamespot. I think ppl will just critize everything they can about IGN. But let's leave it there.

Does anyone see this argument as a little one sided?

It's 1 vs. 10.
