Actually no, they give 7-9 to everything except when the game is absolute garbage from a technical standpoint. It would have been better if what you said was true as we could just reverse the score, but we cant even do that.
Lets be real. The people who buy games based on IGN reviews are the same people who were shocked when the hawk tuah girl stole all their money in a crypto scam 😂
Thats the issue with having different reviewers. Some of them give fair reviews, which results in 8/10 score while others have an activist mindset and give a 3/10 game a 7 or 8 out of 10
You mean 30+ aged, white males (the majority demographic for gamers) don't want to play a dress up game for weebs? Maybe there is hope for society yet.
I'm really surprised how good it actually is. When you know that fighting is not the main focus and more the world exploring etc. and go in with that expectation it's really good and the map doesn't feel empty either
Because people keep talking about them. Thats part of the problem. Just INGnore them instead of whine about the trash they write. People talking about how irrelevant they are actually keeps them relevant.
Concord got a 7, Veilguard got a 9 and POE2 got an 8. So POE2 is a little bit better than concord but worse than Veilguard. Yeah no, IGN's reviews are worthless.
They're all different games in different genre's though. They were however reviewed by the same person, whom seems to have opinions all over the place. He also game Unknown 9 a 5, which is exactly where it should be.
@ThePraetorFenix the biggest point here is that the reviewer considers the pinnacle of failure for Hero Shooters a 9, while the next evolution of the isometric ARPG a mere 8. It doesn't matter the genre of the games, the disconnect is insane.
this guy is trans activist, but you need to look deeper at IGN site. There are secondary reviews done by other people who are actually fans of certain franchises. There was one on Veilguard and the guy absolutely destroyed the game in his review. It's on IGN too. IGN has many workers, just don't take Travis ratings seriously or his reviews. Wait for proper reviews on IGN site later on.
@@info0 wait for proper reviews on ign? Wait what? They expect us to pick a review we like? Thats... not how it works. Either they recommend a tittle or they dont. Best thing you can do is mock em, and watch someone else's review entirely.
I don't know you why you would compare Dragon Age to a game in early access. The game is half out and is an 8/10 - that's amazing. It's also a game for a niche audience, and doesn't have voice overs and cutscenes like most AAA, it's just all combat and content.
@BackFromSpace I'm convinced you are brain dead. If you read my comment you would realize I'm making the case PoE2 is a 10/10 game, and by looking at reviews like asmon is doing you are comparing games across genres and types which is pointless. No point in even looking at the reciews. But that went straight over your head clearly.

Infinity Nikki is actually good. I played alot of games but this is a breath of fresh air. I know the target audience are female but as a straight male, I definitely enjoyed it. Who says you shouldn't play this game just because you are guy and you should only play violent games? Some alpha male like Andrew Tate? 😂
@danielsurvivor1372 It's classified as a cozy open-world game. It's focused on the dress-up aspect of the character you play. So you basically explore this open world and play the story while collecting dress-up items and do different challenges. It's really fun if you're into that stuff
It's amazing that there are 6 or more weapons yet to be introduced in game. Thats hell lotsa customisation. But it just like Dual classing a character.
Infinity Nikki is very good. It’s beautiful. It’s fluid. It’s cute. It’s shiny. Everything makes sense in the context of the game. It’s what that fan base wants. It’s very very good. I’m not the target audience but it seems deserving of a 9.
Not sure if i'm right, but the problem there is the comparison. It can deserve the 9 (I don't know anything about the game) but they should be congruent no? PoE should be a 9 as well comparing it to the other games. It's the same level for the target audience as nikki

The reviews are just like 4th grade essays, stretched as far as possible to make the minimum word count. In their case, so you see all of the ads (for heathens without adblocker).
This is why I don't like using numerical scored ratings. I rather it be something like, "Buy it if...; Consider it if...; Avoid it if...", which states different reasons why one might want to buy it, not buy it, or wait for a while.
IGN makes money out of your purchasing games they review. Predictably, their reviews promote buying of certain games. A person or corporation with a financial interest in a game should never be employed/permitted to review that game. At the very least, we shouldn't listen to them or click on anything they do related to estimating/reviewing/informing us about games. Not reviews, not summaries, not reports on a game's development. Nothing. Would we tolerate Disney passing itself off as a proper reviewer of their movies? Lol. Just say no.
It's not about that. Watch the damn video. An 8 isn't bad (it's better than an 8 btw) but diablo got a 9 and veilguard? Good god almighty veilguard got a freaking nine! It's absolutely absurd man. NO WAY IN HELL are either of those games better than POE2
Started playing coop with my son after work... I started a minion build and he decided on a bow ranger, we destroyed everything and had a blast playing. The bosses were great. The only issues I had were visual and the maps of areas, absolutely we spent so much time going the wrong way but the odd time we would find something worth it as I like to full clear EVERY map area... but it did begin to become annoying in certain areas. I've not spent like 7 hours straight playing a game like that with my son in a good while. We stayed up till 4am. No issues and loved it. When we made it into act 2 we kinda slowed down and realized we were tired.
Amazing writing, funny and witty. The music was great and the twist at the end was just excellent. Asmongold's acting is also top tier, you can almost believe he actually didn't see this coming. A masterpiece on par with Papyrus featuring Ryan Gosling. 9.5/10
It's a free to play with gacha mechanics and without question a lot of options to spend unlimited amounts of real money. A 9 in a review should represent quality and no gacha game with microtransactions has the same quality as a really good full price game, where fun and good gameplay/story elements are everything you need.
Honestly, I'm surprised PoE 2 scored as high as it did. I was expecting it to have a terrible score as a result of Blizzard casually shuffling some money to the right people.
IGN isn't one person with a singular taste. The games are usually assigned to people. Sometimes you're gonna get someone who sucks at the game and gives a great game a 6/10, and other times you'll get someone who isn't familiar with the genre, finds it really fun, and awards it an 8/10, even though it might be a 5/10 compared to others in the genre. People just don't understand how reviews work.
IGN Score table guide 1-6 - Companies expresses opposing political and social views 7 - Default rating 8 - Game producer paid us well for this 9 - Game is Woke AF, we belong to same bubble or studio paid us plenty ex. Gatcha games, Disney etc.
I would like to note that this is an early access rewiev. So comparing the score of an early access game rewiev to the score of a full release is a bit misleading in my opinion. IGN maybe giving scores for money, but lets not pretend that Asmon is not doing this for clicks 😂
After playing 10hrs of PoE2, i think 8/10 is indeed a very reasonable rating for this game. I know this is in early access but i do think that no amount of polish can make this game better than diablo 4. PoE2 is goid but it is a diablo-like more specifically almost a D2 clone with sime new/modern mechanics but it can never be duplicate the feeling that you got when you played D2 back in the day. D2 is still the king of all looter ARPGs
IGN gave Diablo 4 a 9 he was looking at the expansion.

At the very least, we shouldn't listen to them or click on anything they do related to estimating/reviewing/informing us about games. Not reviews, not summaries, not reports on a game's development. Nothing. Would we tolerate Disney passing itself off as a proper reviewer of their movies? Lol. Just say no.
Bro was flabbergasted
Mr president, the second path of exile has been reviewed
For more dumb review ratings, stick with us at IGN👍
As long as people like asmon are giving them a platform, they will stick around. Needs to INGnore them.
@@bozzwick Fix the spelling you arse!😭
The background makes this clip much better lol.
You know the songs name?
I like the new kind of thumbnail too, heheh
it's honestly an 8 at this stage. Dont know what people are complaining about
It's not about that. Watch the damn video. An 8 isn't bad (it's better than an 8 btw) but diablo got a 9 and veilguard? Good god almighty veilguard got a freaking nine! It's absolutely absurd man. NO WAY IN HELL are either of those games better than POE2
@kyledeckman9128 chill 😂 its not that serious
Didn’t there used to be a review website called IGN?
that guy Travis is the backbone of screwing up IGN reputation
And undefeated at it.
I don't think it's possible to screw up IGN reputation anymore.
Taking IGN serious in 2024 is mental illness.
Meanwhile they gave Mario and Luigi: Brothership a 5
I didn’t even know that was possible!
What? I had a blast playing that game!
@@Nako3 but.. But... It had no iNcLuSiOn!!!!
@@Nako3so you like games made for babies? 😂 wrong channel little girl! 👋🏻
@@adrianinha19that’s why I skipped elden ring, IGN gave it a 10. Gotta be the most woke game ever 😂
Bro was flabbergasted at the end
I have a lot of appreciation for the editor.
Suddenly everything makes sense.
IGN reviews have gone from "rating how good a game is" to "rating how well it meets our diversity quota"
The review is basically getting one person to play it, and it's their opinion on the game. No one else
Cute that you think it's their opinions and not prescripted ad copy from grinding gears marketing department.
bro.. how can you believe such crap. and if that would be the case then that dude is an idiot and not a real gamer
@@ursmeloman Nah no swords= -2 off the score
Started playing coop with my son after work... I started a minion build and he decided on a bow ranger, we destroyed everything and had a blast playing.
The bosses were great. The only issues I had were visual and the maps of areas, absolutely we spent so much time going the wrong way but the odd time we would find something worth it as I like to full clear EVERY map area... but it did begin to become annoying in certain areas.
I've not spent like 7 hours straight playing a game like that with my son in a good while. We stayed up till 4am. No issues and loved it.
When we made it into act 2 we kinda slowed down and realized we were tired.
You can't spell "Ignorant" without "IGN"!
Travis be taking those cash deals
Report that to the FCC! Highly illegal and has some hefty fines! Give any and all evidence you have to take them down 😈
They been shillin' for years, can't stop won't stop!
1:11 Bro left his sole his body 😂😂😂😂😂
*bro's soul left his body
@ Thx for correcting me
the BGM from poe2 overlay made this clips more funny
Amazing writing, funny and witty.
The music was great and the twist at the end was just excellent.
Asmongold's acting is also top tier, you can almost believe he actually didn't see this coming.
A masterpiece on par with Papyrus featuring Ryan Gosling.
9.5/10
same 1 guy rated diablo IV and poe 2 8/10
As a gun was held to his head
Rated every game "please don't leave us"/10.
Editor is the real 10.
IGN is now lower than a dad joke.
Nah bro dad jokes are still epic. iGn is trash.
Comparing IGN to dad jokes is an insult to dad jokes.
How dare you.
This was a moment Asmon went into his evil phase.
This felt like that scene in the Incredibles with Mr. Incredible looking up all the missing heroes only to see that they are dead
Infinity Nikki actually deserves a 9. Just because you or me are not the target audience, does not mean that the game is bad.
It's a free to play with gacha mechanics and without question a lot of options to spend unlimited amounts of real money.
A 9 in a review should represent quality and no gacha game with microtransactions has the same quality as a really good full price game, where fun and good gameplay/story elements are everything you need.
@@kurbisfurst5194 there are multiple gacha games that deserve 9 or even 9.5
@@SuperLomik They may be 9 if you compare them only to other gachas.
Gacha system disqualifies game from being great.
You GOTTA stop asking IGN for their opinion.
Honestly, I'm surprised PoE 2 scored as high as it did. I was expecting it to have a terrible score as a result of Blizzard casually shuffling some money to the right people.
I expected them to take off 2-3 points just for the hanging when you pick your character.
lmao your editor is a beast
No review for a game will ever be more accurate than an aggregate of player reviews.
The fact IGN gave Veilguard a 9 tells you all you need to know about what’s important to them. They aren’t reviewing games.
Woke AF. 👍
IGN isn't one person with a singular taste. The games are usually assigned to people. Sometimes you're gonna get someone who sucks at the game and gives a great game a 6/10, and other times you'll get someone who isn't familiar with the genre, finds it really fun, and awards it an 8/10, even though it might be a 5/10 compared to others in the genre.
People just don't understand how reviews work.
Is the music from the clipped livestream or is it added in editing? Because it's very diegetic, to use journo lingo...
The utter silence as you could hear the keys being pressed just reminded me of the computer scene from The Incredibles. XD
Why does this feel like the video game version of Mr. Incredible finding out about all of the dead supers.
IGN Score table guide
1-6 - Companies expresses opposing political and social views
7 - Default rating
8 - Game producer paid us well for this
9 - Game is Woke AF, we belong to same bubble or studio paid us plenty ex. Gatcha games, Disney etc.
I would like to note that this is an early access rewiev. So comparing the score of an early access game rewiev to the score of a full release is a bit misleading in my opinion. IGN maybe giving scores for money, but lets not pretend that Asmon is not doing this for clicks 😂
After playing 10hrs of PoE2, i think 8/10 is indeed a very reasonable rating for this game.
I know this is in early access but i do think that no amount of polish can make this game better than diablo 4. PoE2 is goid but it is a diablo-like more specifically almost a D2 clone with sime new/modern mechanics but it can never be duplicate the feeling that you got when you played D2 back in the day.
D2 is still the king of all looter ARPGs
I was freaking out too. They reviewed it as soon as it came out. I really don’t think IGN should be a thing anymore.
Its a 7 out of 10...at best..it lacks Content and its Ruthless mode from POE 1
Bro, nobody takes IGN seriously anymore.
Love how the poe2 theme gets more serious at the perfect time XD
