Forums - Gaming Discussion - Issues with IGN's MM3D Score

 

Is IGN full of idiots?

Yes 228 67.66%
 
No 109 32.34%
 
Total:337

So if you remember in the Majora's Mask 3D review, the only con they gave it was "Great Bay Temple", and they gave the game a 8.7

I just finished Great Bay Temple in MM3D right now (Pretty much the same as the n64 version) and how in the holy mother of ASS is that one temple worth

of taking of 1.3 points off of the score?

The temple isn't even that bad, it wasn't even too hard, just had a lot of guessing, water temple was worse in my opinion. 

Also they gave the original Majora's Mask a 9.9, so they took off points for pretty much the exact same game 

I could understand them giving it a 9.5 or a 9 because of some changes they didn't like, but really? Giving it an 8.7 is insane 

And of course, this is right after they give ORAS a 7.8 because of "Too Much Water" and "Too Many HMs"

So you're telling me that someone is an idiot because they have a different opinion than you?



They're idiots for a lot of reasons... This one might be controversial though. lol

No because the give dumbass reasons for the cons 

Thats like giving a Mario game an 8.2 and the give only one con being "World 2-3"



Games don't start off at a 10 point rating, you know that right? A review doesn't start off at 10 and take points off.

You should stop bothering with IGN, just some friendly advice!

They don't have too many dedicated, knowledgeable Nintendo fans at this point so you have to take their perspective with a grain of salt.



How are they full of idiots if they gave the original 9.9?

Also how about reading the full review and not just the bullet points at the end?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

insert 7.8/10 too much water joke here

In all seriousness, they can be hypocrites sometimes, but what really boggles my mind is how much different their score for the original was compared to this one, since I've heard that they improved some things in the Great Bay Temple as well. People have had a problem with their scores for awhile and they are a part of why I'm not a huge fan of scores, since most people pay more attention to that than the points made in the review.  IGN has more problems than just review scores though.

Well they give the original Majora's Mask a 9.9, so they took off 1.2 points for the exact same temple
