Forums - Gaming - Is IGN blatantly biased towards certain companies at E3? (Monolith Soft's game)

I find it strange that IGN created a voting poll for E3 game people's choice award and there are a few games that probably deserve that award are missing. Currently there is no Kingdom Hearts, Infamous, Mario Kart or Killzone and the poll is filled with third party games that were lacklustre barely impressive at E3. What confuses me even more is that there was little to no coverage on Monolith's new game looking noticably better than a lot of games shown on those so called "next gen systems". There is not even a news article on the game and its absent from the poll. People are currently pissed off in the comment section of the article.

Well, if you ask me, X was the best game in the show. Followed by Pokemon X/Y, FFXV and KH3. Oh.. and dragon age 3 after that just because of morrigan.



I agree because I don't see GT6 on the list... so I won't vote.



I agree, most frustrated with the lack of X coverage and no X rewind theatre.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

You can't spell "IGN is Blatantly Biased" without IGN....!

Edit: Seriously, though. IGN can be biased. It just depends on who the maker of whatever content you're watching/reading/voting in is. Here's an example; Audrey Drake reviewed Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It got an amazing score because she knows what she's talking about when it comes to Nintendo games.

Now let's say Audrey reviews... Dead Rising 3 next, I doubt she'll give it a good score even if it is deserving of it because she doesn't really know about the series. (By the by, that's a totally made up situation.)

Well X isn't actually here in any capacity that I've seen. Are any of the other games that actually made the list in a similar situation?



...

They didn't list any of my favorite games of the show...FFXV, KHIII, X...I bet those games would win if they were listed.



It is odd tha cyberpunk 2077 is on the list. I didnt even know it was on the show. They were just going weee Witcher 3 weee! I just hope they fix the boring combat and the slow pace before they go weee and deliver an adult snore fest.

You wouldn't want it. The clowns doing the Rewind theatre have no clue what they are talking about. The did neither recognize Samus's Power Suit from Metroid Other M nor the logo in the SSB trailer, they did not recognize Gerudo Valley on the 3DS version of SSB. ALTHOUGH SAKURAI CONFIRMED IT IN THE DEVELOPER DIRECT...

Rewind Theatre is a cruel joke.

Funny and proven by said IGN, over over and over. Nothing to vote for over there.

EDIT: Actually, that's a lie. Voted for Watch Dogs. It looked great.
