You've mistaken being resolute and argumentative for being upset. Should I assume you're experiencing emotional distress because you seem to actively dispute any bit of criticism anyone has towards the game? Or for inferring that there's some kind of uninformed hate train getting a head of steam when there is none. The point is noone commenting here yet has really fit that criteria, not in enough numbers to be of concern anyway. And you know I'm really the only one who explicitly stated that IGN can't be trusted, so let's not be dishonest.
The truth is I just find the (unfounded)value placed on IGN fascinating and bewildering. I actually have a friend who uses them to justify his opinions, when it suits him of course, meaning when a game on a Sony platform gets a good score, but is incapable or uninterested in any deeper consideration of the medium. It's a junk food mentality that's interesting to say the least (an elitist thing to say maybe, but I'm a jerk ;)).
Anyway we've wasted enough time on IGN here. I think this forum can provide better game criticism tenfold.
