The IGN guy is absolutely right, their review is misrepresented in Joes review and he takes their quotes out of context. Sad to see him get so childish when called out in it.


Except he didn't?

Except he did?

Misrepresentation:

Joe whines and cries about the scores that sites are handing out. He says 9's and 10's. IGN gave the game neither a 9 nor a 10. This is a pretty small complaint though. At what point did he say that IGN SPECIFICALLY gave the game a 9 or a 10? He posted the score THEY gave out, that's hardly misrepresentation. Besides even if Joe did quote IGN directly on giving the game a 9/10 when in reality they gave the game a 8.9/10, that is a really tough call to say that you are misprepresenting them.  The bigger one, is that while whining about the review scores, Joe goes a little deeper with his crying and is upset that sites don't tag the game for what he believes to be shortcomings. Yet IGN did hit on them. Not all of them, but why should they? He's just a reviewer, and a below average one at best. What he believes to be issues or "disturbing trends" doesn't mean everyone needs to disagree. But the bottom line is he tried to lump IGN in with some other sites when the facts told a different story. What are you even talking about here?? For one thing his comments on twitter are completely irrelevent to what he says in his reviews. Second of all having an opinion about the REVIEW SCORES of others is misrepresentation? Okay whatever you say. Third of all, lump IGN with other sites, what? You mean as a major outlet site? Well they are. What are your "facts"?


Misquoting:

This one is the most blatantly obvious, and is so much so, that I wonder why you even bolded it and tried to say otherwise. In his review, again, he's crying about reviews. He is sarcastically tossing out tag lines from reviews and review scores and he throws out IGN's "believe the hype" line. He even shows it in his review. The problem is that wasn't IGN's review, it was their preview. It's very misleading to cry about how review sites are BS'ing in their reviews, but then show a comment from a preview. What's worse, is there's no way that was an honest mistake. He had to actually go and find the "I Played Titanfall" article from August or so of last year, and include that in. He simply thinks his viewers are too dumb to notice/care. "I am suprised major outlets are giving this game high scores, "believe the hype", 10/10, 9/10." At what point did Joe say, "IGN said in their review to believe the hype"? He didn't, he said major outlets are giving high scores, which is true and major outlets are saying to believe the hype which is also true. It doesn't matter if it came from a review or a preview.

The saddest part of all is when he's called out on it he can't form a big boy response and just defaults to name calling and pouting. "Big boy response"? Dan attacked him out of nowhere.
