Doom 2016 was great and I actually started replaying it last week on xbox, I played it on ps4 and got it on sale on xbox and I was having a blast and only stopped to play elden ring dlc but I'm going straight back to it when I'm done with the dlc

Going to be completely honest here. Pretty sure the dude's video only blew up because of people's dislike for Ign's reviews. While I agree their scores make no sense alot of the time, some of the points made in the video and comparisons made no sense either.
Yeah, if I'm being honest this guy seems completely insane. I imagine him filming this foaming at the mouth with his IGN hate-rage and tears in his eyes. I don't care about IGN one way or another, but this feels like somebody who found things wrong just because he doesn't like them.

Whatever is the most popular review site people will always find reasons to hate. IGN typically has the most reliable, but that doesnt mean they arent ever going to get it wrong. When every site was giving starfield 10's IGN gave it a 7 and everyone raged at them. 6 months later and it has aged like fine wine.
IGN put a lot of effort into their reviews, such as Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey where they said riding horses was difficult WHEN THERE AREN’T EVEN HORSES IN THE GAME
everybody says that about whatever cod released when they were in high school or middle school and in a couple years im sure we'll start getting people saying "Cold war was the last good cod"
@Professorlicme8 i wouldnt even call BO3 good. Had that gimmick wall run shit and some really dumb weapons like that disk launcher shit. Black ops 2 was the last good one imo.

Days Gone is well worth a play. Easily one of my favorite newer gen zombie-type games I've ever played, the beginning just is kind of a slog to get through
Sure worth playing now, but at launch it was utter trash. Which ppl who played the game way later totally ignore and then complain about legit reviews.
I honestly really liked black ops 3, it was the last cod game I really played. But 9.2 is insane ngl Also Sonic Unleashed is goated idc what anyone says, one of the better 3D sonic games
Looking back, I can agree now. I didn't like it originally since it was different from what I wanted/expected since what I wanted was essentially an improved BO2. Now that I look at it without such an expectation, on it's own as a stand alone game it's definitely not a bad game it's just different from the previous COD.
Dude I hate how when bo3 came out a lot of people didn't like it but now you hear everyone saying that they been like and it's like where the fuck were you at
I like the HOTS review where they gave it a 6.5 because there was "no comeback mechanic" even though its super common to come back in the endgame. It was a whole meme in the community and they even added a 6.5 banner in game that you could equip.

Days Gone is massively underrated. I can't speak for it at launch as I didn't play it until I got a PS5. But I have very fond memories of the game and really enjoyed playing it. I can see how some of the dialogue isn't the best. But honestly I have heard women say basically that same line about riding them as much as the bike more times than you'd think.
Reviewscore was legit, game was utter garbage on release. Bugs, performance issues etc galore. The mediocre writing would have been more paletable if it was better technically. Sure its better now (like a 7.5/8), but nowhere the masterpiece some ppl act it is. Guess thats the "every score below 9 says its trash game" idiots as well i guess.
Don’t think the guy who made this video understands that the reviews and scores are all done by different people, as well as the fact that the five minute long videos are normally condensed down from the original written reviews which are way longer He also always highlight errors in the gameplay but the reviewer doesn’t capture and edit the footage, it’s done separately 🤷♂️
The thing about Death Stranding being miserable to play is that the game encourages you to play it in a miserable way. I had a blast playing it full guns blazing. I didn't try to avoid or sneak anything. I drive through all enemy bases, killing everyone I saw, and brought blood guns to be able to do the same when the floaty fucks came for me. That was my second attempt at the game. My first, when I tried to play it the way the game wanted to be played, I only managed about 6 hours before putting it down for a year.
its just its pace man, its an very VERY slow game that picks up its pace for the average consumer to enjoy it in its second half section (which takes an fair amount of playtime to get to). and because that its an AAA titled game that had not as much action as pretty much all the other AAA titles have when compared, people shitted on it since most people are looking for a quick dopamine check in a video game, which death stranding lacks. overall its a niche game, for the most part focusing on relaxation, enjoyability, resource management and fetch questing, with SOME action thrown into it, which most gamers aren't really into. i get it, you wanna turn off your brain for a bit and kick back playing something action packed, which is fair, but that's not what the game is meant for in its core. the experience being miserable or not depends on you, the consumer, not the game.
Honestly playing "old gen" cyberpunk wasn't too bad, it certainly wasn't unplayable, the worst things I encountered was poor rendering distance and some weird physics. The story was still great, as was the acting, and the gunplay could have been far worse. It was always a good game imo but the 2.0 is a huge improvement.
@@cohenparsons947for real, people talk about old gen cyberpunk as if it was the worst game of the century, but it was a very good game when ignoring bugs and certain issues such as cop spawns
I don't recommend reviews from any establish gaming journalist website, I'd recommend individual reviews instead, that way you can contextualize the reviews based on the reviewer's values.
I think gameranx is great because they don’t slap a number on there. Just a spoiler free, detailed opinion. And their top 10 videos are super entertaining
I agree with the sentiment that the story in TLoU2 could've been good, but I hard disagree that the ordering was the main problem. You still have to rework the story for better fitting elements, like if the theme is "Revenge bad" then have it so that Abby isnt getting a better friend than the ones she starts with, and in honor of what made Joel great Joel isn't forgetting a quarter century of survival tatics in order to be killed.
@@brieleeeeI mean, essentially. It's about the un-ending cycle of violence revenge causes and trying to rise above it. I'm pretty sure there's a hundred interviews where the writers talk about that being the story they're telling too.
@@brieleeee bro wut? the entire journey for both characters was about revenge. Abby's entire goal was to kill joel for revenge for killing her father and then Eliie's entire journey was to kill abby for revenge, THEEEEEEN when she momentarily gave up on it for tommy got mad at her for giving up on revenge so she goes out for revenge again.
Day's Gone has a 92% overall rating on steam, with an 85% recent. You can shake your head all you want, but the numbers and sales don't lie. It was a good game, if not your type. As for a more divisive title? Incorrect. Last of Us Part II was despised by the majority of people, just not critics. Critics don't count as an "other side", as this video itself is trying to prove how out of touch they are. The most legitimately divisive title was Death Stranding. Where MANY people loved it. Truly loved the gameplay. And many other disliked it.
Game review companies need to just make a standardized rating system based on music, atmosphere etc., etc. As one score, and then have a reviewer score as themselves. They line people up with the games they believe they'd enjoy and then set a standard for the tone of the review for the audience. Have one person do major shooter RPG's, have another person do more whimsical games like Spongebob. Give people a genre to specialize in that they enjoy playing games from. It's a very simple system yet they have created something dumb and completely subjective.
9.2 honestly is deserved for bo3 cause zombies is so huge and perfect there is infinite replayibility. It carries the entire game and multiplayer is honestly pretty fun. It isnt perfect by all means but even if it had a good campaign it would be heavily overshadowed by zombies story in this game and mp
Gen 2 Pokémon was like the last time they put in genuine effort. After that it’s us who were too happy to be fed more Pokémon or some small feature or another for a new game. Gold Silver was the last time there was a legit vibe to the games. I get a lot of people grew up with the DS games but they are already sure of their tone and feel I think. In short Pokémon 1 and 2 are RPGs whereas everything after was an annual release sports game. I don’t think Nintendo would have continued the franchise without the armies of fans and most of the older people didn’t get it because you have to make some sort of emotional connection to the Pokémon for it to be fun. In terms of RPG it’s obtuse chaotic and limited. Most of the older gamers I now never got the appeal at all. So I think a lot of it is also the target demographic.
I played days gone on release. And sure I could walk around n and out of a fridge asset and one time I got launched 50 feet in the air for no reason and died. But I found the whole thing a stupid fun time and enjoyed it a lot and thought the game got loads of unfair criticism.
The same lady who wrote the too much water review also wrote gamespots review of Days Gone, which is even more negative and embarrassing than IGNs. Kalli Plagge. She's horrific
It’s funny I recently played last of us 2 and Joel stuff notwithstanding I agree that they could re order the game and it would have worked better. Imo the game should have just swapped the abby and Ellie section. And then it should have been marketed as Abby’s story as part 2. Show that your playing as the after math if 1 etc. and then have the twist be after the events of Abby’s section you then see the “revenge” scene which would have been a surprise and then go through Ellie’s part. I also think a multiple ending would have been better too giving the player a choice to finish off the other if they wanted. And make “their ending” the cannon one
Imo IGN commited sepuku with the validity of their opinion when they reviewed Alien Isolation. I still think that review is the reason we didnt get a second game because so many people took that review as gospel
I love the IGN for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition where they mispronounce all of the main character names. They would have known them if they actually played the game Edit: Nevermind, it’s in the video.
Its clear that Activision and Ubisoft reviews are paid Anyways I see nothing exciting about sneaking by clickers and putting ladders against walls in tlou's case
Gotta say that Eurogamer and Kotaku are easily the poster children for bad games journalism They are leagues worse than IGN. IGN is still pretty bad most of the time, but no where near the level of the other two
Man, I thought the video would bring up NBA 2K19. On top of it just being the same NBA game as the year prior but prettier, 2K19 tried some truly egregious monetization nonsense - like lootboxes that got 2K sued, and unskippable ads in the form of commercial breaks - yet IGN gave it an 8.5?? I remember being second-hand LIVID about that one.
Hot take: days gone is one of the best games at portraying the world of a zombie apocalypse. Felt empty, yet had meaningful encounters with npcs, the zombies felt scary, the missions felt impactful, the game was pretty, and the weapons were great. I know i know, stone him. But I loved it.
God hand's score was actually nuts but understandable IF you've actually tried getting into God Hand for the first time. It really is that bad when you're trying to learn it sometimes lol, trust me. I love the game, but it definitely is goofy with how obtuse it is at times.
i understand having the flashbacks come first but i also understand why they sprinkled them throughout the story was to see what ellie was thinking about and it re ignites the anger we felt of joel just like ellie in the game
I mean... they are totally different games. If u go compare scores like they are the exact same it just shows how dumb you are, as this dumbass video maker demonstrates with his dumb comparisons with totally different games.
Wow, couldn't disagree more. Days Gone was fantastic. I didn't have any issues when I started at launch(not saying they weren't there, I just didn't have them) Ended up finishing it later on, and it's one of my favorite games of the PS4 generation. The Horde mechanic was amazing and it made me like a horror situation in a game where I don't like Horror, in film or in gaming. It's boring, not scary, and I have never liked it. But in DG, fantastic and made me feel tension and anxiety like I've never felt in any game ever.
I don’t like big game review companies. But the entire video that guy made had terrible points on a lot of subjects along with terrible comparisons. He also seemed extremely fan boyish about a lot of the games shown and just overall didn’t do a good job at explaining the bad reviews.
i havent played it yet but genuinely curious why you like it so much . i struggle to convince myself to buy it because im afraid ill get burnt out of the constant walking.
I think all reviews should be taken with a pinch of salt, they are normally one individual person playing. Maybe if a different person from IGN/multiple people from IGN played the games the scores would be different. A side not to the above: Maybe they do have mutliple people play and one does the reviews and says the main points that they all pick up on (unlikely but who knows?) Everyone's experience of a game is different, I may rate uncharted lower/higher than the next person etc. I think when it comes to reviews you either need to watch/read several from different people and then make your decision or just don't take them into account whatsoever. I'd sooner play for myself and then make a judgement rather than listen to another person's opinion and use that to make a decision.
TLoU2 is told in that order to make the player feel frustrated before coming around to her. They tried the story in different orders, and this one worked the best.
I think Last of Us Part 2 is a litmus test for how much does someone actually care about hearing another person's point of view versus just pushing and agreeing with their own. Having us start off as a character we already love then to make us play a character we are already primed to hate is a powerful move that shows the importance of perspective. By the end of Abby's story, you understand her. You don't have to agree with her, you just need to listen to her story and learn why she is that way. And seeing Ellie start to slip into the same pit as she did, but then redeeming herself, shows that Ellie now understands and becomes a better person because of it. I don't know how much more obvious it can be that the message of the story is about learning, listening, and undersranding. People are allowed to dislike the game. It's definitely not perfect, but what matters are their reasons. If their justification for hating it has something to do with Joel or Abby and not the gameplay, then they completely miss what the story is trying to do.
the worst review of all time has to be Pokemon Explorer of Sky's, just absolutely horrendous, gave a 4 score to easily the best or second best pokemon game ever made
I liked Days Gone, didn't love it or anything, but it's worth noting that it has over 50k reviews that are 92% positive on Steam. Which you could argue that Steam is just a yes/no review system, but so is Rotten Tomato, and so many act like RT is the be all end all for movies and TV, putting "Certified Fresh" on box art. I'd also argue that "gamers" give some of the most absolutely brain dead reviews, often playing for 30 mins before saying something is boring or giving a negative review for a game not running on their toaster. Given that context, the Days Gone rating on Steam is fairly impressive and paints it as an objectively good game, for that many people to agree means something, at least on Steam. Also Death Stranding currently sits at 93% on Steam, based on nearly 20k reviews, just saying.
Death Stranding is suppose to be a slow experience. I guess people have TikTok brains nowadays, so it’s hard for them to enjoy something with a slower pace.
I'm fine with the slower pace to the gameplay, but the intro is a legitimate problem. I think it's something like 4 hours before you're truly free and on your way. Thats a problem with Kojima imo. MGS5 is a great game, but it takes an hour before you're done with cutscenes and that goes throughout all of his games that I can think of.
Deaths stranding is so dumb lol. Interesting story and world but the walking gameplay is stupid. If the gameplay loop was anything else with the same story and world it could be good. But it's not.
@@joshbrucks then it's just not for you. You aren't complaining about anything being technically wrong with the mechanics, just that you don't like them. It isn't for everyone
Jup charlie streams it so all the atmosphere of being alone in this beautiful world is gone, he also turned the music off which basically ruins half of the game.
A lot of these are "How could give this game a 6, when THIS game was a 9.5?" Yeah IGN has zero consistency and the review you get is a dice roll on who reviewed it and what kind of games they like better. Thats why when i want to know if a game is good i go to somebody who makes content on games like that. Especially for niche stuff. I wouldnt expect IGN to tell me anything substantial about Tekken 8, so Ill just tune into what Maximillian Dood says about it.
9.2 is high for cod but bo3 was good I would give it a 7.5. I am bias as a zombies player but nether less the fact it was actually a good game. The multiplayer was good just didn’t like the supply drop System but that can be blamed on AW. the zombies in bo3 is honestly the best thing call of duty has created, Jason Blundell and the team created a masterpiece for us fans. And The graphic design for bo3 was phenomenal and still holds up till today. Plus for content creators the game was magnificent. And I know it’s not in the original game but the most important aspect is the custom zombies it’s single handly keeping the zombies community alive. Bo3 was that last good old school cod all the cods after just don’t give that fun that bo3 did or bo1,bo2,mw2,mw3 did
I think comparing one review to another is totally fair, regardless of how different the game may be. 8.8 for goat sim and 5.9 for alien isolation is utter insanity.
First off, Goat Simular is 11/10. Second, Alien Isolation was played by person who hates horror games and Sonic game was clearly played by person who hates 'children games'. That's how bad reviews exist.
I thought the Mario party superstars review was gonna make it 😂 the person reviewing it was constantly making call backs to his kids enjoying super Mario party and based the score on that 🤦🏽♂️
Charles, if ziplines (among many other ways of "slow traversal") didn't speed up your playthrough of Death Stranding, you have done something fundamentally wrong. I've done many tests and everytime I Zipline 250 meters, it's considerably faster than walking, driving, swimming, spitting, floating like a cartoon character because there's a nearby pie on a window sill or even running for 250 meters. It's all very complicated but I assure you my science is sound here.
It is a stupid line, that's exactly the point. Sarah said a stupid line to surprise Deacon with the line. While the writing of the game often seems predictable it's also endearing in some aspects. And yes that third act was bloaded af. But the game overall is great once you get the bike upgrades.
Dunkey dud a good video where he shows the reactions in the comments of games given high scores vs. games given mediocre and "low" scores. Its called How To Be a Good Game Reviewer
Man he's really butt hurt about that Black Ops 3 score. That was the Pinnacle of zombies and the multiplayer was good too he's crazy, that's my favorite call of duty.
Days Gone takes wayyyyy too long to get to the point, like, it might as well be a different game by 1/4 of the way through Act 2. BUT, it does hit its stride when it starts playing more like you’re a traveling zombie exterminator with superhuman traits. Story and human-human combat are… Meh… but treating the game more like an open world, relatively serious take on Dead Rising is the way to do it. Still janky in some areas but I think it earns higher praise that you’d expect because it does tend to win people over at a certain point and endears itself to them.

its just its pace man, its an very VERY slow game that picks up its pace for the average consumer to enjoy it in its second half section (which takes an fair amount of playtime to get to). and because that its an AAA titled game that had not as much action as pretty much all the other AAA titles have when compared, people shitted on it since most people are looking for a quick dopamine check in a video game, which death stranding lacks. overall its a niche game, for the most part focusing on relaxation, enjoyability, resource management and fetch questing, with SOME action thrown into it, which most gamers aren't really into. i get it, you wanna turn off your brain for a bit and kick back playing something action packed, which is fair, but that's not what the game is meant for in its core. the experience being miserable or not depends on you, the consumer, not the game.
Gameranx is the only gaming channel I trust for reviews
I agree with moistcritikal take on last of us part 2, no matter what score ign or anyone gave it, your review was f***ed regardless.
Worst IGN review was for old gen Cyberpunk. The said it is unplayable in its current state, yet gave it a 4/10. UNPLAYABLE IS A 1, not a fucking 4
I mean technically it was only unplayable on certain consoles
Honestly playing "old gen" cyberpunk wasn't too bad, it certainly wasn't unplayable, the worst things I encountered was poor rendering distance and some weird physics. The story was still great, as was the acting, and the gunplay could have been far worse. It was always a good game imo but the 2.0 is a huge improvement.
@@cohenparsons947new gen cyberpunk still has poor render distance and weird physics tbh
@@hemipenes I have no render issues some weird physics but it's mostly fine
@@cohenparsons947for real, people talk about old gen cyberpunk as if it was the worst game of the century, but it was a very good game when ignoring bugs and certain issues such as cop spawns
I like gameranx, are they adequate in your opinion?
I've found them to be agreeable with a lot of my sentiments but I've disagreed with a few things last year. Overall though I'd recommend their reviews
I don't recommend reviews from any establish gaming journalist website, I'd recommend individual reviews instead, that way you can contextualize the reviews based on the reviewer's values.
Didnt he recommend the day before💀
I think gameranx is great because they don’t slap a number on there. Just a spoiler free, detailed opinion. And their top 10 videos are super entertaining
Gameranx is goated. Shout-out Jake
The only one that was egregious was Alien Isolation. The rest just felt like the dude was way overreacting.
Black Ops 3 Zombies alone deserves a 9.2
So real
Yeah zombies carried bo3 lmaoo
bo3 zombies is so good
with steam workshop id agree. But that review was way before any workshop maps or dlc maps.
I agree with the sentiment that the story in TLoU2 could've been good, but I hard disagree that the ordering was the main problem. You still have to rework the story for better fitting elements, like if the theme is "Revenge bad" then have it so that Abby isnt getting a better friend than the ones she starts with, and in honor of what made Joel great Joel isn't forgetting a quarter century of survival tatics in order to be killed.
Except the theme is not “revenge bad”
@@brieleeee Revenge bad for thee but not for me
@@brieleeeeI mean, essentially. It's about the un-ending cycle of violence revenge causes and trying to rise above it. I'm pretty sure there's a hundred interviews where the writers talk about that being the story they're telling too.
@@brieleeeeVengeance feeling empty is one of the core themes of the game.
@@brieleeee bro wut? the entire journey for both characters was about revenge. Abby's entire goal was to kill joel for revenge for killing her father and then Eliie's entire journey was to kill abby for revenge, THEEEEEEN when she momentarily gave up on it for tommy got mad at her for giving up on revenge so she goes out for revenge again.
"they could've front loaded Abby" was the funniest and most unhinged chat I have ever read. kudos to you sir.
Day's Gone has a 92% overall rating on steam, with an 85% recent. You can shake your head all you want, but the numbers and sales don't lie. It was a good game, if not your type.
As for a more divisive title? Incorrect. Last of Us Part II was despised by the majority of people, just not critics. Critics don't count as an "other side", as this video itself is trying to prove how out of touch they are. The most legitimately divisive title was Death Stranding. Where MANY people loved it. Truly loved the gameplay. And many other disliked it.
I disagree on death stranding. The gameplay was alot of fun to me lol
I loved Days Gone. Its a little slow at first but it definitely does not deserve that score.
Game review companies need to just make a standardized rating system based on music, atmosphere etc., etc. As one score, and then have a reviewer score as themselves. They line people up with the games they believe they'd enjoy and then set a standard for the tone of the review for the audience. Have one person do major shooter RPG's, have another person do more whimsical games like Spongebob. Give people a genre to specialize in that they enjoy playing games from.
It's a very simple system yet they have created something dumb and completely subjective.
9.2 honestly is deserved for bo3 cause zombies is so huge and perfect there is infinite replayibility. It carries the entire game and multiplayer is honestly pretty fun. It isnt perfect by all means but even if it had a good campaign it would be heavily overshadowed by zombies story in this game and mp
Meanwhile, Death Stranding is one of my favorite games of the last ten years. Loved it.
Unleashed was lowkey lit
Gen 2 Pokémon was like the last time they put in genuine effort. After that it’s us who were too happy to be fed more Pokémon or some small feature or another for a new game. Gold Silver was the last time there was a legit vibe to the games. I get a lot of people grew up with the DS games but they are already sure of their tone and feel I think. In short Pokémon 1 and 2 are RPGs whereas everything after was an annual release sports game. I don’t think Nintendo would have continued the franchise without the armies of fans and most of the older people didn’t get it because you have to make some sort of emotional connection to the Pokémon for it to be fun. In terms of RPG it’s obtuse chaotic and limited. Most of the older gamers I now never got the appeal at all. So I think a lot of it is also the target demographic.
someone never played legends
Something you miss is ign reviews single player for cod. That was the review for the campaign
bo3 campaign was a confusing clusterfrik lol
I played days gone on release. And sure I could walk around n and out of a fridge asset and one time I got launched 50 feet in the air for no reason and died. But I found the whole thing a stupid fun time and enjoyed it a lot and thought the game got loads of unfair criticism.
Honestly, Kojima would be far better at making films than games at this point.
Death Stranding is a masterpiece
No mention of the God Hand review huh?
*sigh*
The fact that Charlie finished Golum, but couldn't finish the Days Gone is just 💀💀💀
The same lady who wrote the too much water review also wrote gamespots review of Days Gone, which is even more negative and embarrassing than IGNs. Kalli Plagge. She's horrific
It’s funny I recently played last of us 2 and Joel stuff notwithstanding I agree that they could re order the game and it would have worked better. Imo the game should have just swapped the abby and Ellie section. And then it should have been marketed as Abby’s story as part 2. Show that your playing as the after math if 1 etc. and then have the twist be after the events of Abby’s section you then see the “revenge” scene which would have been a surprise and then go through Ellie’s part. I also think a multiple ending would have been better too giving the player a choice to finish off the other if they wanted. And make “their ending” the cannon one
I thought death stranding was super fun and extremely addicting. Just goes to show people have different opinions and that's fine.
Played days gone without performance issue and was dumbfounded why it was not popular for how good it was and how worth the price for its content is.
Days gone good, soundtrack bussin
Too much water was def a meme before ORAS
Also S&S is goated sue me!
Imo IGN commited sepuku with the validity of their opinion when they reviewed Alien Isolation. I still think that review is the reason we didnt get a second game because so many people took that review as gospel
I love the IGN for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition where they mispronounce all of the main character names. They would have known them if they actually played the game
Edit: Nevermind, it’s in the video.
Its clear that Activision and Ubisoft reviews are paid
Anyways I see nothing exciting about sneaking by clickers and putting ladders against walls in tlou's case
team aqua uses water types?? holy shit man this is huge
Gotta say that Eurogamer and Kotaku are easily the poster children for bad games journalism
They are leagues worse than IGN. IGN is still pretty bad most of the time, but no where near the level of the other two
I didn't even know DOOM (2016) even had multi-player.
It was a big part of the game’s pre-release period.
My only reference for Sonic Unleashed was watching the Game Grumps play it, and it looked extremely unfun
Man, I thought the video would bring up NBA 2K19. On top of it just being the same NBA game as the year prior but prettier, 2K19 tried some truly egregious monetization nonsense - like lootboxes that got 2K sued, and unskippable ads in the form of commercial breaks - yet IGN gave it an 8.5?? I remember being second-hand LIVID about that one.
I think I hate the dude doing this list
Hot take: days gone is one of the best games at portraying the world of a zombie apocalypse. Felt empty, yet had meaningful encounters with npcs, the zombies felt scary, the missions felt impactful, the game was pretty, and the weapons were great. I know i know, stone him. But I loved it.
I recently played days gone and while yes it can be slow the gameplay and story are better than a 6
This issue as always is that IGN is not one person. The fact one reviewer gives COD a 9, and another gives Alien Isolation a 5.9 makes perfect sense.
I got Days Gone after the issues had been fixed, so have no idea how bad it was at launch, but I can say that I absolutely loved playing it.
God hand's score was actually nuts but understandable IF you've actually tried getting into God Hand for the first time. It really is that bad when you're trying to learn it sometimes lol, trust me. I love the game, but it definitely is goofy with how obtuse it is at times.
Anyone bashing Days gone just sucked at the game
Lmao no
I don't get how anyone defends IGN by saying "different reviewers" as if there shouldn't be any quality control on their end.
I absolutely loved Battle for Bikini-Bottom when i was younger, probably my favorite game as a kid and for nostalgia now, i still have fun playing it
You'd better mention the Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition review, they didn't even say the character's names right!!!
i understand having the flashbacks come first but i also understand why they sprinkled them throughout the story was to see what ellie was thinking about and it re ignites the anger we felt of joel just like ellie in the game
the gameplay footage in the sonic unleashed review triggers me, theyre not even boosting. its like they didnt even know you could boost
IGN should've done the logical and rate games based on categories. That was CoD 9.2 cant be compared to Uncharted 9
I mean... they are totally different games. If u go compare scores like they are the exact same it just shows how dumb you are, as this dumbass video maker demonstrates with his dumb comparisons with totally different games.
Wow, couldn't disagree more. Days Gone was fantastic. I didn't have any issues when I started at launch(not saying they weren't there, I just didn't have them) Ended up finishing it later on, and it's one of my favorite games of the PS4 generation. The Horde mechanic was amazing and it made me like a horror situation in a game where I don't like Horror, in film or in gaming. It's boring, not scary, and I have never liked it. But in DG, fantastic and made me feel tension and anxiety like I've never felt in any game ever.
I don’t like big game review companies. But the entire video that guy made had terrible points on a lot of subjects along with terrible comparisons. He also seemed extremely fan boyish about a lot of the games shown and just overall didn’t do a good job at explaining the bad reviews.
Definitely not for everyone but I personally think death stranding is a masterpiece. Been in my top 3 of all time ever since it came out.
i havent played it yet but genuinely curious why you like it so much . i struggle to convince myself to buy it because im afraid ill get burnt out of the constant walking.
@@demonigod414680% walking 20% gameplay
@@demonigod4146for me it the story is what I loved most abt it, I also thought it was fun exploring
you can get vehicles and stuff
I think Guru Larry's IGN video was better spoken then this vid's constant whining
He’s trying to imitate him.
Funny how people dislike older games that are "Bad" Yet are obsessed with shitty ass games like Gollum etc.
Literally who the fuck is obsessed with Gollum
Completely understand what you meant until you mentioned Gollum
I think all reviews should be taken with a pinch of salt, they are normally one individual person playing. Maybe if a different person from IGN/multiple people from IGN played the games the scores would be different.
A side not to the above: Maybe they do have mutliple people play and one does the reviews and says the main points that they all pick up on (unlikely but who knows?)
Everyone's experience of a game is different, I may rate uncharted lower/higher than the next person etc.
I think when it comes to reviews you either need to watch/read several from different people and then make your decision or just don't take them into account whatsoever. I'd sooner play for myself and then make a judgement rather than listen to another person's opinion and use that to make a decision.
TLoU2 is told in that order to make the player feel frustrated before coming around to her. They tried the story in different orders, and this one worked the best.
This video is a reminder to do your OWN research and not go to game journalists
I think Last of Us Part 2 is a litmus test for how much does someone actually care about hearing another person's point of view versus just pushing and agreeing with their own. Having us start off as a character we already love then to make us play a character we are already primed to hate is a powerful move that shows the importance of perspective. By the end of Abby's story, you understand her. You don't have to agree with her, you just need to listen to her story and learn why she is that way. And seeing Ellie start to slip into the same pit as she did, but then redeeming herself, shows that Ellie now understands and becomes a better person because of it. I don't know how much more obvious it can be that the message of the story is about learning, listening, and undersranding.
People are allowed to dislike the game. It's definitely not perfect, but what matters are their reasons. If their justification for hating it has something to do with Joel or Abby and not the gameplay, then they completely miss what the story is trying to do.
Black Ops 3 is the cod goat off zombies alone and i loved the multiplayer too dark matter still the coolest mastery camo ever
the worst review of all time has to be Pokemon Explorer of Sky's, just absolutely horrendous, gave a 4 score to easily the best or second best pokemon game ever made
I liked Days Gone, didn't love it or anything, but it's worth noting that it has over 50k reviews that are 92% positive on Steam. Which you could argue that Steam is just a yes/no review system, but so is Rotten Tomato, and so many act like RT is the be all end all for movies and TV, putting "Certified Fresh" on box art.
I'd also argue that "gamers" give some of the most absolutely brain dead reviews, often playing for 30 mins before saying something is boring or giving a negative review for a game not running on their toaster. Given that context, the Days Gone rating on Steam is fairly impressive and paints it as an objectively good game, for that many people to agree means something, at least on Steam.
Also Death Stranding currently sits at 93% on Steam, based on nearly 20k reviews, just saying.
Dude, Days Gone is a straight banger. Idk how it was on release, but now it's super good. Go back and play, Mr. White.
Bo3 was top tier, I still and always will love it - the zombies alone was definitely better than uncharted
Death Stranding is suppose to be a slow experience. I guess people have TikTok brains nowadays, so it’s hard for them to enjoy something with a slower pace.
I'm fine with the slower pace to the gameplay, but the intro is a legitimate problem. I think it's something like 4 hours before you're truly free and on your way. Thats a problem with Kojima imo. MGS5 is a great game, but it takes an hour before you're done with cutscenes and that goes throughout all of his games that I can think of.
Deaths stranding is so dumb lol. Interesting story and world but the walking gameplay is stupid. If the gameplay loop was anything else with the same story and world it could be good. But it's not.
@@joshbrucks then it's just not for you. You aren't complaining about anything being technically wrong with the mechanics, just that you don't like them. It isn't for everyone
Jup charlie streams it so all the atmosphere of being alone in this beautiful world is gone, he also turned the music off which basically ruins half of the game.
Slow Paced≠Good
A lot of these are "How could give this game a 6, when THIS game was a 9.5?" Yeah IGN has zero consistency and the review you get is a dice roll on who reviewed it and what kind of games they like better. Thats why when i want to know if a game is good i go to somebody who makes content on games like that. Especially for niche stuff. I wouldnt expect IGN to tell me anything substantial about Tekken 8, so Ill just tune into what Maximillian Dood says about it.
thats the best way of doing it
9.2 is high for cod but bo3 was good I would give it a 7.5. I am bias as a zombies player but nether less the fact it was actually a good game. The multiplayer was good just didn’t like the supply drop System but that can be blamed on AW. the zombies in bo3 is honestly the best thing call of duty has created, Jason Blundell and the team created a masterpiece for us fans. And The graphic design for bo3 was phenomenal and still holds up till today. Plus for content creators the game was magnificent. And I know it’s not in the original game but the most important aspect is the custom zombies it’s single handly keeping the zombies community alive. Bo3 was that last good old school cod all the cods after just don’t give that fun that bo3 did or bo1,bo2,mw2,mw3 did
"Its a game with guns, what on earth is she blathering abouT!" absolutely killed me, buddy is so heated im dead
I think comparing one review to another is totally fair, regardless of how different the game may be. 8.8 for goat sim and 5.9 for alien isolation is utter insanity.
First off, Goat Simular is 11/10. Second, Alien Isolation was played by person who hates horror games and Sonic game was clearly played by person who hates 'children games'. That's how bad reviews exist.
I hate to say it but this video had a really bloated third act
Black ops 3 is a top 5 call of duty of all time.
I thought the Mario party superstars review was gonna make it 😂 the person reviewing it was constantly making call backs to his kids enjoying super Mario party and based the score on that 🤦🏽♂️
What was the score and the like to dislike ratio?
it got an 8 with 16k likes and 442 dislikes approximately 36:1 ua-cam.com/video/BvRibG_w0hM/v-deo.htmlsi=SRRNVbOjAVBwao53
Charles, if ziplines (among many other ways of "slow traversal") didn't speed up your playthrough of Death Stranding, you have done something fundamentally wrong. I've done many tests and everytime I Zipline 250 meters, it's considerably faster than walking, driving, swimming, spitting, floating like a cartoon character because there's a nearby pie on a window sill or even running for 250 meters.
It's all very complicated but I assure you my science is sound here.
It is a stupid line, that's exactly the point. Sarah said a stupid line to surprise Deacon with the line. While the writing of the game often seems predictable it's also endearing in some aspects. And yes that third act was bloaded af. But the game overall is great once you get the bike upgrades.
Days gone is actually a very good game
The guy that made the video sounds so bitter lmao
Dunkey dud a good video where he shows the reactions in the comments of games given high scores vs. games given mediocre and "low" scores. Its called How To Be a Good Game Reviewer
Man he's really butt hurt about that Black Ops 3 score. That was the Pinnacle of zombies and the multiplayer was good too he's crazy, that's my favorite call of duty.
Way too high of a score
Days Gone takes wayyyyy too long to get to the point, like, it might as well be a different game by 1/4 of the way through Act 2.
BUT, it does hit its stride when it starts playing more like you’re a traveling zombie exterminator with superhuman traits.
Story and human-human combat are… Meh… but treating the game more like an open world, relatively serious take on Dead Rising is the way to do it.
Still janky in some areas but I think it earns higher praise that you’d expect because it does tend to win people over at a certain point and endears itself to them.
