I don't know why you care.

Stop reading their reviews and giving them hits. Thats the best thing you can do.

Mayoras Mask is from a time in gaming where substance > spectacle. ;)


You summed it pretty well!

When IGN gives a 9 to empty(shiny) shell games like Evolve, all is said, even their own readers rate the game at 7.4, I guess that ad revenue they got from having Evolve ads plastered all over IGN, um... open their eyes to the greatne$$ of said game!

For the record, I'm not even a big fan of Zelda: Majora's Mask, I love Zelda games to death but I'll say it loud & clear, some will consider it blasphemy, but Ocarina & Majora are my least prefered Zelda games!

That said set aside, not to see the i$$ues behind IGN game ratings, I would have to be blind. It's not the Zelda: Majora's Mask score that I find laughable, 8.7 is quite good, it's the consistency of game rating or lack of it that is the i$$ue!

Well they gave TLoU a 10 so i guess i can agree with you OP :D.


They gave Evolve a 9 for god sake!!! Going by that metric, Zelda: MM should have scored 19/10 or something...


Weed is not good, i don't think they knew that...

I've changed the thread title to something a little less abrasive. Everyone can see these thread titles, and we don't want to give the wrong impression to people viewing the site.

No one reads the entire thread before posting thought police!

it really seems a joke.
a joke with themselves.
They became famous to cut off some grades of pokemon ORAS for the 'too much water'.
Now the excuse is the great bay, the water dungeon.

It seems that IGN entered in the joke of too much water, and every new nintendo game that have water they will remember us, heheheh

I think the review is too high actually.A 15 year old game that's on outdated hardware.

Well this is just straight up flamebaiting. But I'll bite.

How is the 3DS outdated? It's good hardware for the cost not to mention there are plenty of great games for the system. Want to compare it to the Vita? Guess what? No one has ever heard of the Vita and it doesn't have a plethora of good games. Which is why no one bought it.

@OP

I stopped reading IGN in 2004. Get with the times man.

I agree although the original didn't deserve a 9.9

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.


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

Come on! The original is 15 years old. You have to review the game by todays standards and the standards have changed.

They've actually made a lot of changes to the remake, so your logic doesn't make much sense. Great Bay Temple wasn't bad at all in my opinion. Got stuck once and had to use a guide because I didn't realize you could freeze the octorocks to use as a platform lol.

That's why I prefer Metroid, if you're stuck you can just use your scan visor to look for hints. Navi/Tael or whatever is fucking useless.
