    I think the biggest issue with IGN and GameSpot is that they have so many reviewers with vastly different taste and opinion under the same company name. As a result they look very inconsistent when being compared with their own scores. Maybe the scoring system itself is fundamentally flawed.

      I like reviews in progress (and independent UA-cam folk do this too now, e.g. skill up). It shines more light into the thought process.
      The truth of the matter is that the general public is obsessed with reviews (often not to make a purchase decision but rather to validate their own views on a game they've already bought). These companies can't survive if they release reviews after playing the game for 300 hours. A review in progress for a complicated game is much better than a rushed one

      there was some magazine about movies which had different approach to rating - they have 3 - one for "heart", one for "eyes" and one for "brain". I feel like this is more or less perfect thing to do, since it will say more about reviewed stuff without the numbers itself. in this situation it would have big ""heart"" and ""eyes" rating but "brain" one would be lower due to game breaking bug

      except it has nothing to do with "quickly changing opinions" but with the simple fact that IGN rated FAR WORSE games an easy 7-9/10, not only gameplay- or storywise but also games in a far worse technical state. they are also known for giving out overall better reviews for games that were rated lower by the absolute majority of games magazines/journalists and reviewers.
      The Prey review is like one of those yelp criticques, that South Park was mocking in Season 19 Episode 4, where kyle's dad literally hands out 1-2/5s for restaurants with awesome ambiente and food for not enough parking slots or not soft enough toilet paper.

    I think it's unfair to put a score on a game you didn't finish. He could have made a review stating he wasn't able to finish the game because of a major bug and postpone his score for later, espacialy considering this bug wasn't affecting most players and the game worked fine on consoles.

    • @JimboCruntz

      No. If you can't finish the game because it's broke, the game deserves a bad review because the reviewer had a bad experience.

Reviews aren't concrete, they are just opinions, they are a reflection of the reviewers experience and they can review however they want.

    Okay, here's my opinion: It should be called out. But review scores are BAD by design, and trying to convey something as multifaceted as a game (bugs, monetisation, diversity, working conditions, etc) in a reviewscore is just plain bad.
    When trying to discuss the above problems they should be done outside of reviewscores, or review scores should not be there. Just like games get blasted for bad design, articles should be for their design (review system) if it doesn't work.
    In this case, a complex dilemma, needed to boil down into a number. Some love the game, and some thought it was broken. Where do you put that on a scale? Whatever you do in that situation, no number will feel right and everyone will be mad.

  • @RegalPixelKing
    @RegalPixelKing 2 роки тому +21

    This was a very level headed way to look at this situation. I find it stupid how whenever almost any game reviewed by IGN gets lower than a 7/10 (or even when it does get a 7/10 because the score was not high enough) that people complain and dislike bomb the video. I think it would do better for IGN to get rid of scores outright or at least overhaul how they score games because adding a number to the end of the video removes any value of what is actually said for the whole "review" part of the video review.

      @@brunorichardson97 That bombing was a bit more logical though. The reason was not because "8/10 is too low for this game." It was because the reviewer basically said "This game isn't like Persona 5, and I wanted Persona 5 with a different skin which is why I am giving an 8/10." That's not even a criticism, docking points from a game because it's not like another game does not make sense.
      One of the top comments of the video said that docking points on SMT V for it not being like Persona 5 is like docking points on the next Final Fantasy game because it's not like Kingdom Hearts.

He then proceeds to call it a terrible movie even though he thought it was great up untill that point. Does that make sense?
    No, it fucking doesn't. Why is a game treated so differently? Sure it's fair criticism to point out that they did something wrong during production and you can demand a refund but it doesn't make sense to rate the product as a whole based on something that is not present in all versions.

    I see your point and appreciate the balanced approach however I think its worth noting that it's impossible to release a 100% bug free game and the best way to spot bugs is to beta test / release the game to the public. Even though it's game breaking, it doesn't mean it is reasonable to expect arkane to have found it. It's one thing for a game to be a buggy disaster like fallout 76 or cyberpunk, but Prey seemed polished where it counted.

      That score very much can be indicative of his overall experience, even if most of it was good having the end spoiled that bad can sour the entire experience in hindsight.
      Good example, Game of Thrones. The first 4 seasons were almost universally praised with tons of people claiming it was the best show they ever watched, but when the show ended with the final stretch being an absolute fucking dumpster fire the reputation of the show as a whole took a huge hit and I saw many complaints from people feeling liek the entire thing was now ruiend for them. If a show with a terrible final season can induce that effect in people, then a good game that suddenly perma crashes and cannot be finished can very much have the same effect.
