I recently stumbled upon a Lies of P review from a different publication's "go-to souls like" reviewer. First, he complained about not being able to animation cancel.... in a souls like. Second, he didn't understand that perfect blocks were the go-to method of defense. Lastly, and this is really bad, I don't think he understood they were even a thing. I think he literally didn't even know one of the base mechanics of the game existed.

I've also seen lots of people complain about it being too hard. Like what do you expect of a souls like? Especially because it's the same difficulty as dark souls 1 imo
@robertpayne67812 ай бұрын
@yuushinichi I think that came from people trying to play it like BloodBorne with dodges or Sekiro with parrying instead of playing it on it's own terms. I really didn't feel like I died anymore than I did when learning the mechanics of those games

I think the big complaint for IGN is that if you just pay them, they'll give you a better review. IGN doesn't even try to hide when they're obviously paid to give a good review, and that's easily their biggest fallacy. I agree with Charlie that going off dislikes kinda misses the mark of why IGN is clowned on.

@@MrBoombang007from what I’ve found, IGN gets paid very frequently to review a game. Not to give a good review, just to review it. It’s marked with “ad” or “sponsored content” on the review itself. High-profile Devs also often pay for accommodations to have reviewers come out early or just send them a copy for early play. So TL;DR, what I’ve found indicates that they’re not paid to give a good review, but can be heavily swayed and influenced with the right amount of money

I'm a Days Gone fanboy but I didn't play the game until after they fixed a lot of the problems. Heck, the first time I bought it on a steep discount sale, it crashed every time I started it. I got a refund. I finally tried again with a new computer and enjoyed the game BUT.... years later and it still crashed a lot. 6.5 for a buggy mess is about the best they could expect. I also think those downvotes changed over the years as the game improved. On release most people hated on the game. This is clearly someone putting together a list and not remembering the vitriol aimed at the game on release.
@noire10014 ай бұрын
I played it recently and to be honest, 6.5 is fair. Its a very generic story, with forgettable characters and terrible voice acting. The combat is kinda fun, as is the bike, but its nothing new and a ton of games do it as well or better. The world looks nice, but the NPCs look like they're from a PS2 game. I didn't come across too many bugs and it ran perfectly on my 4070 at 1440p. Overall its above average IMO.

IGN and Kotaku are the reason why I hate game journalism since they had a lot of time being disingenuous and bias whenever they are trying to sell their games or try to sabotage games that doesn't line up their ideology. And it's started like 5 years ago when their reviews of their games are base of their personal virtue and beliefs and Not about if the game had good or bad gameplay. They don't review game as a game anymore but they always had political and agenda take on them which is terrible. Politics ruins game industry creativity as what we've been seeing lately the outcome why real world Politics are not good in Video game industry.
