Water level: They nailed it.

"Nintendo" is redundant here, hardcore fans of every brand do this.

Not exactly. Yes, several people from all fanbases do it but this is a thread about IGN and a Nintendo game. So the Nintendo part is not redundant the same way it will not be if we have a review from Polygon for Blooborne and Sony fans praise Polygon for it (despite their comments about the site as a whole after their The Last of Us review). No matter the score, I know I will still regard their review trash, because that's my view of Polygon and its complete lack of integrity. 

But hypocrisy is the religion of fanatics of every flag. I personally think of all reviews are just opinions, and I don't factor them into my purchases. But the practice of hating then accepting a reviewer based on whether they align with one's company of choice or not happens with Sony fans, Xbox fans, and Nintendo fans.

Obviously I couldn't agree more with your post. Fanboys will be fanboys and hypocrites. But there are hardcore fans who are not blind by their love for their favourite brand. And my point was that the only need for the "nintendo" part was that this thread is about a nintendo game. If sony fans do the same, call them out in a different thread (and I'm sure some will). I did notice though that when Polygon gave Gran Turismo 6 an 8.5, Sony fans didn't make a big deal about it and even said that the site is still trash. Not saying that Sony fans are better but in that case alone, they were consistent.

Well, I could point out that reviews seemed to be held up as very important when TLOU was getting praise all around, but not so much when games like Shadowfall and Driveclub got shitcanned, but like I say, every fanbase does that, or at least the extremists do.

The only reason I used the term "hardcore fan" was because I didn't want to get reported for using the term "fanboy".

I fail to see how that leads to a healthy discussion, as you say. All you end up doing is wasting yoru time because people simply refuse to admit that they are wrong.

It doesn't, but if you feel the need to call people out as hypocrites, it makes a good deal more sense to take it up with the people in question, and not with broad sweeping generalizations that only apply to a select few. If you don't feel you'll gain anything from calling these posters out, then I also fail to see how generalizations will be even remotely productive.

Anyways, that's my final take on it, since I'm only derailing this thread further.

congrats I might be getting a wii u after all



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Day one but ign review has nothing to do with it.

Gameaverse is in need of a good fun fighting game.

I certainly didn't expect a 9.8 from IGN!

Most people have been playing fairly lag free.

What is your internet like? Also, try getting the Wii LAN Converter if you don't already have one because wired>wireless

Suddenly Nintendo fans forget the Pokemon review and now love IGN.

Ah, how lovely things work.


Someone didn't read the first page


I dont care if people are trying to make jokes. Point is that people aren't suddenly contesting the score, but rather embracing it, so your point is moot. I read it as "If pokemon had less water, it would have gotten higher than 7.8. If Smash had tons of water it would have scored less than 9.8." They are jokes, nothing more, and terrible ones at that.

This is the same outlet that was claimed to have a bias last gen, yet named Galaxy as game of the generation. And when that happened, guess what, it wasn't contested.

 

When the score isn't what they like, they bitch and moan.

When the score is what they like, they don't contest it like they do the scores they don't like.

 

I've been around long enough. I've seen how it works.

 

 

Great score either way and deserved. Played it myself, but if it's a spade, i'll call it a spade.

This.

we need thread for this kind of topic : " Yesterday i hate them today i love them  "
