Forums - Gaming Discussion - IGN gave Mass Effect 2 a 9.6 on 360 and a 9.5 on the PS3...why?

I didn't realize they changed their ratings to increments of 0.5, glad I came into this thread.

I think they could use the .5 up until 9.5... so, 7.5, 8.5, but, when it gets up to 9.5, why not 9.7, or whichever?..



I thought IGN was done doing reviews?

Where did you get that idea from?



are you really bitching over .01?

I'm glad everybody else could clear this "scandal" up for us though.

 

off topic: EA better release a GOTY edition with all DLC at a fair price for xbox or pc. And the ps3 version being the definitive?... I guess in terms of just comparing the two games themselves, sure. But the reviewer may not have factored that the whole experience will be alot more epic on the xbox 360 & PC. I certainly plan on play all three games in a row come next november, certainly a motion comic or whatever would detract from it. I mean, if the LOTR or star wars movies(orig. trilogy)  just had the last two movies and only gave you a little summary about the first one, it wouldn't work nearly as well.

because there is no such this as .6 .7 .8 .9 scale anymore




Pretty funny reason to make a thread. ME2 HAZ .1 MORE ON 360 THAN PS3!!@!@! IGN R BIAZED!

Because you could load your save data from the original Mass Effect.

That makes it 0.1 better.


In my opinion that makes the game at least a full point better. It's absolutelt amazing how many decisions carry over from ME to ME2.



simple, gamne reviews are based if even slightly, on the system's current lineup; ie; Is this game more of a buy then other games that you CAN buy within your platform. There are better games to compete with ME2 on PS3, therefore, the recommendatino to buy is lower.  XD

You complain about him bitching, but then you enter bitch mode......

@OP If you read the full review you wouldn't have made this thread. This was the main reason why IGN changed their scoring system.
