Based on your points, no I don't agree you are taking side, however you did say he was "more" right. Which is why you looked as though you were taking sides. This said, based on twitter conversation Joe 'wins' because talking about Watch_dogs does not mean you expect someone from another company randomly come in and rant at you about something else you did a month ago.

If Dan had an issue it should have been in private to Joe directly, maybe asked professionally to remove the references to IGN or change them. This is where this industry lacks when it comes to reviewers. Professionalism because it is made up of those that grew up playing games and are still in essence kids themselves, this is evidence of it. Twitter allows them to do this.



Hmm, pie.

The IGN guy is absolutely right, their review is misrepresented in Joes review and he takes their quotes out of context. Sad to see him get so childish when called out in it.

Except he didn't?



The IGN guy is right. His quote was taken out of one context and used in another which ended up giving the wrong image of the actual review.
That, to me, was unfair. He had the right to correct Angry Joe on the matter: if his review didn`t reflect what AJ was trying to show, his review shouldn´t have been used as na exemple of that.

Lol ya, that is exactly what Dan should have done.  But he didn't, and the way that Joe responded to Dan was not professional either.  If he simply said something like,"I'm sorry I didn't realize I was misrepresenting ign, I'll try not to do that again" (I'm not saying he has to apologize, or say he made a mistake, this is just a quick example of what the "better man" would do).  Then Joe would have "won" but instead he came out looking just as childish as Dan.  So I wouldn't say that anybody "won" just somebody lost slightly "less" depending on your point of view.

If I remember correctly Angry Joe was talking about reviewers giving Titanfall high scores then a picture of IGN's 8.9/10 showed up in th background, how is that taking anything out of context?



Well that was a fun fucking read. Lmao.

Youtube embedding is broken here's the link, the whole thing started from what Joe said at 8:30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZhUHOqaC5_A#t=500

Here's the video since no one else linked it yet. He said major outlets were giving the game high scores and telling people to believe to hype, which they did. Dan is technically right about a 8.9 not being a 9 but that is completely irrelevant since 8.9 is still a "high score". So really Dan's comments were pretty much uncalled for.
