You're missing the point.  Dan started it, publicly, unsolicited, on an off-topic tweet.  That's not really the level of professionalism you'd expect from a company the size of IGN.  And if you actually read the exchange, the first what, 5 or 6 responses from Joe were completely civil (At some point, you do start to get annoyed with a dumb twat derailing your question).  I guess can see what Dan is trying to say (it's a stretch though), but I can also see the context of Joe's complaint in this issue.  Dan apparently missed the term 'major outlets', and heard the words 'The Titanfall review on IGN got way high scores'.

Well I would understand if the part where he said 10/10 and 9/10 was at the same time as when he showed IGN's review score in the video but he didn't, IGN's score was after. Also Joe said "high scores", 10/10 and 9/10 were just examples. 8.9/10 is still a high score so his point still stands. Unless Dan wants to argue that 8.9 is not a high score.

Ryan Mcaffrey is a joke of a reviewer. I agree with Joe 100%, and it seems most people didn't buy into the hype.

Quote tree bro, max 3, forum rule.

Anyways, I agree that a public execution might be too much over such a minor thing in life, alas, Dan's concerned weren't wrong, but I really don't think name calling and insults was the proper way to go cause that really made Joe look like a jackass from the perspective of somebody like me who doesn't know much about them in the first place because Joe never gave a straight answer but was super defensive the whole way instead.

I agree with Angry Joe on this to be fair. Some of the preview stuff from IGN was so over the top... it was like one big advert for the game.

In fact AJ review is one of the better ones out there, it says, game is good, could be great, but hey look at all the things you expect from a £50 game that you would expect.

I don't really know why this IGN guy is worrying about it, it would have gone away, all he has done has made himself look like a muppet.

You can't set something as an example without including them in the first place...... From the video, in Joe's opinion, he did not include 8.9 as his example of a high score, so that point can't really stand ground since 8.9 is your opinion of a high score..... Maybe it's Joe's as well, but he sure as hell didn't say anything about it in his review, just saying.

Uh yeah he did. He showed off IGN's score, in Joe's opinion that was a high score. Why would he show it off if he didn't think so? On a scale of 1 to 10, it's pretty clear that 8.9 is a high score, that's not even an argument.

That's a lot of tweets. There should be a TLDR version.

I must have missed that part since my youtube was minimized due to being at work if that's the case lol, prolly could have avoided that drama if he didn't post the IGN scores in that case I guess, interwebz drama FTW!

my main problem with IGN is using the decimal places for games  just use the solid numbers no need to use decimals, either commit to a 9 or go 8 no need to say 8.9 cause in almost everyones mind that is really a 9.  on top of this IGN has been accused of doing reviews for money from EA in the past so they lost credibility to me.  my last complaint is the add revenue they take look at how many titanfall adds they had on thier site when the review came out hell there was a titanfall add in the titanfall review page for a while.  to me thats a conflict of interest i mean are they going to review the game badly if money from said game is paying thier saleries.  Titanfall was good not great, it was at most a 7/10 for me but for the sake of being funny im going to say its a 6.9/10 lol
