AJ is a great rewier... however he poses as a "Paladin" for the avarage Joe (sic) gamer.

Some time he goes to much into character and basicaly call every body who thinks different a sold out jornalist.

There is nothing wrong giving TF a 10 or a 9, or a 6 or a 7. In fact for all the past 2years FPS I think TF was the one that recived the most scrutiny.

Certainly more than Battlefield 4.

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

then the dude finishes with this :

 

Fun math fact: IGN has 4x the YouTube followers Joe does.

lmao


Wow, so mature. He is comparing a big media company owned by a bigger multibilion$ company to a single man's youtube account. I wonder how many youtube viewers that retard would manage to grab if he went solo like Joe. And he is so proud to be part of this corporation that has 4x Joe's viewers, yet idk who he is and I'm a big IGN followers. This is purely asumptions and I know that their are alot of talented ppl and journalists that will always stay behind the scenes but he could be a janitor at IGN for all we know.

I'm sorry but that guy deserves to get fired, he is publicly making IGN look bad. And what Angry Joe did was fine, he said many ppl were in his opinion overrating the game and he showed screenshots from reviews such as IGN. No one in their right mind would get butt hurt by this, but this moron had the genious idea to play the role of vigilante but I guess he was to dumb to realised that it was backfiring on him and the more he talked the dumbest he sounded.

No point in IGN getting personally offended but it does show a lack of integrity as a reviewer that Joe has to try and drag down other reviews because he sees a game differently. Every game released has a wide range of scores and usually reviewers don't bother talking about what other reviewers are rating. They just score the game and move on.

Review scores are just opinions in the end.

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

While the IGN guy is "factually" right about what he's saying he's nitpicking. Joe I felt was more right in his stance. He was making a point and IGN was as close to his point as you can be without being 100% on point.

dude, get that fanboy bullshit outta here. 

on topic, I think joe was right, when Titanfall released, i watched he and IGN's review, and both reviewers make valid points. Joe knocked the game over it's shoehorned campaign, and Ryan (IGN) really enjoyed the chaos of the multiplayer, two different people, two different scores.

Well that was good for a laugh.
Anyway being too lazy to watch the review does Joe not say something along the lines of "high scores like 9/10 or 10/10"?
8.9/10 is a lot like a 9/10.
He also has every right as a reviewer to say he disagrees with other reviewers opinions, provided you dont live in a shit country disagreeing with opinions is totally ok =P



my god dan is a dumbass, He starts the whole thing because his panties are twisted in knots because he got called out and now hes made everything far worse by looking like such a tool. Doesnt look good for IGN at all. he deserves a facepalm..

right or not, he looks like a whiny 14yo moron for getting into whats basically a playground argument.
