Forums - Gaming - Beef with IGN's Next Gen Poll

Tagged games:

I love RPGs and I am curious about Witcher 3, but as of now I would say no next gen RPG has really got me hyped like some current gen ones do.

On X, it looks great, but I need more details on gameplay and all before reaching a conclusion on it.

As a hardcore rpg fan the witcher 3.

I really don't care about X, but i do like it's premise. If it has action oriented gameplay and non tablet oriented controls i will be jealous of wii-u owners. 



IGN's audience is primarily PS & Xbox gamers. Not a lot of Nintendo fans go there.

So basically IGN's audience (for the most part) doesn't want to read about games they're not going to touch with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole, so IGN tends to exclude Nintendo from a lot of discussions. It's partly IGN's fault, partly the fault of Nintendo fans for giving IGN the cold shoulder... chicken/egg, again.

Believe me, if X was included in the poll, it would have lost, anyway, because a lot of IGN's readers don't pay attention to Nintendo news and wouldn't even know what X is.

If you want fair Nintendo coverage, I recommend Destructoid.

Xenoblade supported multiple controllers, so I don't doubt that this game will, as well.

And this is definitely an action RPG. Xenoblade plays a bit like a simplified MMO (simplified in that you bring an auto-attack, 8 different skills/abilities, and a special attack for each party member into each battle, as opposed to the dozens of abilities you have access to in a typical MMO).

One of my friends got into the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn beta and he says it reminds him of Xenoblade, so if you've been checking that out, the battle system in X will likely be somewhat similar.



Dont really know that much about X, but it looks Japanese RPG, and I'm not really fussed about that type of art style/story setting. While the Witcher 3 is more closer to medieval type RPG, which is interesting to me.

Of course i dont know much about it, so that doesnt help, but not really that excited by what i have seen.

yeah just like xbox fans putting titanfall on a pedestal cause they think its exclusive...



As an RPG fan, I don't really have a lot of interest in Witcher 3. I am looking more forward to Kingdom Hearts 3, X, Final Fantasy XV, and Elder Scrolls online. I find it weird how they didn't include X but then again, IGN is biased against Nintendo and most of its fans are ignorant MS and Sony fans...so maybe they know that.
