| Chairman-Mao said: Yeah people are real hypocrites When IGN gives an exclusive game a low rating: I f**king hate IGN they f**king suck ass they're biased and gay When IGN gives an exclusive game a good rating: Hey this game must be awesome IGN gave it a great review! I love IGN. Its really funny reading the IGN hate/love depending on what they say. |
I don't care what they say, I still don't like them. I haven't for years. They could give SMG2 a perfect score and I still wouldn't care. Here's a few reasons:
1) Matt was always a bit of an elitist, but now he doesn't even hide it anymore. He's a smug little prick who thinks he holds some sort of godlike power over the industry and that Nintendo should do everything that he wants. He'd have run the company into the ground by now if they listened to him.
2) Daemon. Do I even have to say anything about him? He's a terrible writer who rarely backs up his "opinion" with any solid argument and seems to review games simple based on how far along in his menstrual cycle he is.
3) Their video player was horrendous for years. True, it's better now, but I've moved on.
4) Their forum software is a primitive piece of crap.
5) They expect me to give them money for a subscription to things I can get elsewhere for free.
6) They've always had a habit of going days or even weeks without updating anything on their Nintendo channel. There's plenty of other places that provide better news coverage.
7) I've disagreed with most of their reviews for years.
So, my dislike of IGN is not because of the recent Nintendo-Bashfest that the site has turned into, but it certainly has made me not regret leaving.
