JakDaSnack said: Dan is "more" in the right than joe is based off the twitter conversation you posted. Joe shouldn't have misquoted ign, since he clearly didn't read the review but only looked at the score, and then misquoted that. 8.9 is a big difference from 9. If they wanted it to be rounded up then they would have given it a 9. Dan may have overreacted a bit, but so did Joe. That's my opinion anyways. |
Even Joe said he wasn't specifically saying 'IGN' or Dan when he mentioned '9/10' (He also mentioned 10/10, didn't he?) he just happened to show the IGN score at the time. This isn't misquoting IGN because you can't misquote something when it is a print screen.
I find this quite odd as I would have expected most people to side with Joe, not because of the review but because of Dan's attitude. I don't even watch Joe but this Dan guy (I've never heard of until now) comes off as a right numpty. He went off on one about the different between 8.9 and 9, which to most gamers is pretty much a 9. If IGN want to do 'point' scores then they should do them out of 100. And Dan stepped randomly having a go as well not even about Titanfall.

He posted a screenshot of Ign's preview, that made it appear like ign was one of the major outlets giving it 9's and 10's. The problem is that an 8.9 does not fall into the "9" category. Now, is this something that I would personally attack another person over, defintely not, but I could see someone getting upset over this because Joe was misrepresenting Ign. This may not be a big issue to others but when you have great passion for something, misrepresenting it could cause you to flip a lid. Also keep in mind, that Joe also specifically said he didn't like that ign didn't critize the campaing.....but ign did....this shows that joe didn't read the review (another issue). Regardless, the whole conversation was kinda dumb, Joe shouldn't have have posted the screenshot of ign's preview, and Dan could have handled it much better.
When I say Dan is "more" in the right, I'm basicaly weighing it as they both flipped their lids, but Joe did misrepresent Ign which he shouldn't have done.
As for why I'm siding with Dan, I'm not. I'm not siding with anyone, I could care less about Dan or Joe, they both acted like children. Being 'more' right, doesn't mean he's in the right, nor does it mean I'm taking his side. I'm just saying he did slightly less harm to the other guy. Basically, it's the difference between an 8.9 and a 9:P If you agree that I'm taking sides, then you also agree that an 8.9 is a huge difference from a 9:P
