Actually, and I'm not trying to be a fanboy here, I'm the exact opposite.
You are a fan of a console and attacking people who make comments you dislike about it. I'd say you qualify for that monicker.
I've always thought of IGN as a joke, since they gave God Hand(one of my favs) a 3/10, and I've always thought that their reviews of some games shouldn't be taken seriously, because they tend to be way too high.
So, you made a generalization about all their reviews because they gave a low score to a game you like. Does one review you disagree with make a wide generalization such this valid in your opinion?
I also didn't even know Gametrailers reviewed games on a regular basis, until this.
You argue about what sites' reviews are the most worthwhile and you don't even know something as basic as this?
As for Gamespot, Edge magazine, Xplay, Famitsu, Gamerankings compilation scores, I've went by them for years, and I've never been steered wrong.
So you've never seen a single review in those sources that you dislike or that conflict with each other? You dislike IGN for a single bad review according to the above so is the reader to assume that all of these publications have reviewed games exactly alike and exactly coincide with your interests?
Add to that, the fact that about 90 percent of the reviewers so far have given the game, well, 90 percent, and I just can't see how the game has as big of a "pile of flaws" as most people assume.
How can someone who only recently just learned of Gametrailers reviews make any kind of valid claim about "90 percent of the reviewers?"
That said, I really do honestly think that every person who doesn't want any Wii game to be a success, is flocking to the IGN reviews bandwagon. They refuse to believe the game is as good, or better than Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, or Mass Effect. Why? Plain and simple, graphics, and anti-Wii bias.
What's wrong with disliking Wii-level graphics anyway? Some people dislike the idea of a dohc in their car but that doesn't make those people or dohc's bad.
I mean, IGN just gave Endless Ocean an 8/10. Since you respect them so much, do you agree that Endless Ocean is better than Assassin's Creed, which scored a 7.7(lower than No More Heroes)?
Do you find it so unbelievable that someone might just like Endless Ocean more than Assassin's Creed? How about that different reviewers place different priorities on certain game attributes, would that shock you as well?
IGN's reviews are wildly different and speculative depending on which reviewer actually reviews the game, unlike Edge, Gamespot, or even Xplay, there is no consistancy or comparitive reviewing. It's on a case by case basis, and is heavily influenced by an opinion and not a set of conditions. Generally, unprofessional reviewing. How can anyone respect that?
So are you saying that all of the above sources are always consistent themselves? Do you have proof?
While you are entitled to your opinions, not all of your opinions are equally well supported.
