Poll: IGN is dead to me

[Bullfrog1983]

To be honest, I stopped caring what IGN said about games like 10 years ago, so i'm kind of indifferent to your anger.

I thought that I would also point out your list of games is nothing at all like mine.

Slightly off topic but what makes Half Life 2 so brilliant. I loved the first one mind you, It's one of the best fps games I've ever played. I didn't even finish the second. The whole thing was so average. Arcade shooting, a painfully slow story and bland, lifeless environments. Somebody tell me what makes it so great.

At the time the physics engine and the puzzles that came with it were absolutely amazing and never before seen, basically it's only fun if you play the whole game using nothing but the gravity gun.

For me the gravity gun was a pointless gimick. Also I played it on a console and the vehicle sections were hellish as a result.

You can't spell ignorant without IGN

yeah, most big review sites aren't really accurate, its better to check out the gameplay on youtube (and make up your own mind) and all those smaller review sites.

You're not happy with IGN because they gave Pac-Man a 10...? Seriously? That's it? It's one guys opinion..

Mass Effect 2
Portal
Half-Life 2
Starcraft 2
Fallout 3

When you see this list of games, you most likely think "this is a list of some of the best games ever made

Fallout 3 is ok..but the rest are god awful. And did you play Pac-Man C.E DX? That game is awesome.

God awful? Really? Troll harder on the strings of your martyr.

Stating an opinion =/= troll.

This is the escapist though, having an opinion against everyone else means you ARE a troll. You're not allowed to have an opinion on those shitty games.

I have noticed this as well my friend.

It is easily seen as trolling when you blatantly state that games that a large amount of people like or even love are god awful. Not even that you think that they are god awful, that they are god awful.

Isn't IGN in everyone's back pocket? Like, the point where you can mail them a check with "8.5 or better plz" scrawled in the memo line and automatically get a good score on your game?

i think if your microsoft or activision or blizzard you can ;P.

Except if you're Blizzard you don't need to.
Fanboy away! *Flies off*

And I've never really cared for IGN. Most of their reviews that I've read were shit and passed by on all the good stuff in games.. and in some cases the bad stuff.

That statement is so obviously incorrect it doesn't even qualify as sarcasm.

I'm sorry but I've just never met anyone... all my friends hate his guts.
However, after looking at some gameplay of the DX edition i have to say, looks like fun. Not "Borderlands-I-just-blew-the-torso-of-a-midget kind of fun but... Shitloads-of-fun-20-minutes-a-day kind of fun.

No no you don't seem to get it, if you are anywhere near where an arcade has EVER stood there is no way you have not met someone who didn't like Pac-Man. The game is old and was popular as fuck when it was made and is now a giant nostalgia bomb.

Yes, Pac-Man is that freaking big.
