^you call inconsistent scoring flawed games 9.6 and 9.4 ? with presentation scores of 10 and 9.5 respectively? and then Scoring a game witth a seemingly flawless presentation based on the written review a 8.5 (in presentation) ?? OoooooooooooooooooooooK.....

Did you not read what I said?  It is inconsistant.  There is no way for two "opinions" to be the same if they are made by 2 different people (talking about ME vs say a JRPG).  That is why it is inconsistant and needs to A) not be rushed out the damn door and B) to have an editor to make sure the negative points get docked accordingly.

Do I agree with the scores for ME 1/2 ?  Yes, but that is only because I played them both on a high end gaming PC.  Can I say the same for the Xbox? No, I never played that version (tho my roommate did and only EVER complained about load times).

@jesus kung fu magic

PD. You shut up!


docking down .5 for all of Mass Effects flaws? don't make me laugh.

And how about scoring ME2 a fucking perfect 10 when the guy clearly says IT HAS PROBLEMS, serious game crashing problems, long loading times and stuff? are you blind or did you just cherry-picked what I clearly highlighted above? STFU! you're defending the undefendable.

Does the GOW3 review mention anything of that sort? those glitches, stuttering framerate and such you find plenty of in ME1 ? NO . NO fuck NO. And it gets a 8.5 for presentation. Dude get over yourself. Enjoy your IGN! I don't give a shit about what you think.

Presentation
This category includes everything from the quality of the manual and packaging to the menu layout, load times, and included game options. We also consider the overall production, licenses, atmosphere, and style.

thats how they review presentation. gow3 got a 8.5 and me2 got a 10..... ign cant stop santa monica from making a better game and shane from gametrailers cant stop me from buying gow3

Presentation with IGN includes story which is why ME1 and 2 both received such high scores. Had the infrequent technical problems of the first one (and the almost non-existent problems of the 2nd) not been there, the scores probably would have been 10's.

As for GOW 3, that presentation score seems a little low from the clips I've seen, but they do say the story is a problem, maybe to them that is more important, maybe the game has some of those minor technical problems, I don't know.

OT: This conversation doesn't need the added language from anybody. The thread creator wanted discuss IGN being Bias against the PS3 games, I think we can do that without calling each other out.

Because there's no groundbreaking difference between FFXIII on the X360 and the PS3 except the graphics. Even the X360 version has a better frame rate and shorter load times.
The difference between Bayonetta on the other hand was big. Very big.

The XBOX 360 Version dose not have better Frame Rate or sorter load times.

IGN is not biased in faver of 360 or PS3 they Review Games equally on both systems I agree that they should tack technical differences into account but FFXIII on XBOX 360 is no Bayonetta it is worse visually because of the compression but it runs about the same so 8.6 360 8.9 PS3 would be more like it.

lol do you really want FF XIII to get lower scores from the reviewers just because the game is on the 360?

I mean it is the same game, and there are only minor differences beetween versions. Fallout 3 or Bayonetta were completely different stories, with one version filled with bugs.

well other that it's inferior, and many multiplatforms even have less problems and got a lower score on the ps3.

it's called being you know "fair".

FF XIII is an RPG game it delivers the same story, characters , world and exprience on Xbox 360. Just because PS3 version edges 360 in few technicalities it doesnt mean that 360 game is inferior, especially when we talk about a RPG genre in which visuals are less important. 

 

what? its FF visuals are important especially CGI, and it's not only graphics, 360 have been reported having freezing in game certain more than ps3 version, texture pop ups etc.

 

I seriously doubt people buy RPG games mainly for Graphics or CGI's

Lol, this pretty much sums it up. All I see is some more fanboi QQ in this thread. If you think everyone is biased, maybe they are not the issue.

So upon reading on IGN's website that Final Fantasy XIII got a 8.9 on the PS3 I checked the 360 version 8.9...  I thought for a second, the 360 was inferior...I read it many times on different sites across the internet and even youtube videos.  So why was there no seperate review for the definitive version on the PS3 and the inferior version on the 360? 

IGN gladly did two seperate reviews for Bayonetta and Orange Box...and the list goes on.  When lazy/inexperienced 3rd party programmers do a piss poor job on the PS3 IGN has a PS3-version hate frenzy...  Hell it even goes back to PS2-Xbox days.  It's been awhile but I remember the title of their seperate GTA:San Andreas review for the Xbox was "Finally San Andreas doesn't look awful".  Of course, they'll glad bash PS2-PS3 version and do serperate reviews if they notice the least bit of glitching, popups.  Of course, when the PS3 is the definitive version and the 360 mass compression techniques to fit it on a disc(even multiple discs) cause a loss of detail they only do one review.  Why?  They don't want the 360 to take any heat.  They hide the fact that the PS3 version is better by only doing one review.

Anyone agree/disagree?

Actually, if we are going the conspiracy route, I would prefer to think they do this, because they enjoy seeing partisan fanboys get hot and bothered and post about it here.  Due to them doing this, you gave IGN yet another post in cyberspace, that will generate comments and cause everyone to focus on their website. 

Anyhow, that is about as restrained as I am going to get.  If I knew the extent to push the envelop, I would of posted a lot of stuff to pull you chain and make you look like like the partisan fanboy you really are.  When you own only one console, it is natural to see the entire world out to get you, particularly when your brand of choice is getting stomped on by a system with dated graphics, but has waggle, and is forced to compete with a console made by the evil Bill Gates.  It sucks to go from first to third, with your HOPE that they can somehow end up in second this generation, but that is reality.

In order to get your mind off things that give you a paranoid persecution complex (and YES maybe IGN is pro-Microsoft), I suggest you think of happier things, like Sackboys and the latest Kevin Butler ads (well, so long as he doesn't go Boom).  Also realize that the bulk of the world doesn't think as you do.  Ok, I think I need to log on XBox Live and find the latest IGN strategize spot on it with Chobot.  I think she is kinda hot actually.
