IGN's mistake.
 
This hurts. They put TMNT as one of the top games to look forward to this year and they do this

I mean...is it really so hard to look at the character select screen and see that there's a P and not an F in his name?

Boy oh boy when does IGN do something right? They deserve a big slap! Wonder what rating they give it....seeing they don't do a good job with rating games.

GK Punk 06-02-2003 12:10 PM

IGN just has a bunch of wannabes working for them. When something isn't popular, they bash it, when it is popular they act like they know everything about it. Im sure their TMNT Coverage falls somewhere in one of those 2 brackets

Peanut 06-02-2003 01:22 PM

That is very true GK47! I still don't see how they gave a game like DOAXBV a 9 when it doesn't deserve anything over a 6.

DOA Volley Ball... what a waist of DVD Space is that. a friend of mine bought that game, and gets mad at me for not wanting to play it.

TheShredder 06-02-2003 02:21 PM

Rafael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)

Peanut 06-02-2003 02:21 PM

What's funny is the volley ball mini game on Mario Party is better than that game. You've got to be pretty weird to buy a game just because of digital women in bikini's.

TheShredder 06-02-2003 02:22 PM

Yeah you gotta be pretty weird but people do!

Yeah there is always people out there just waiting for someone to produce something like that. Why not go to a strip club or something like that and you can see all the girls you want and pay less.

[Edit: Or go to the beach and see the same bikini babes playing volleyball. And that wouldn't cost you anything other than the trip. :lol: ]

If they did that, for Leonardo, they would put Leonard. :lol:

Plus we are in california... Girls in bikinis, isn't that uncommon. You can see girls in Bikini tops and daisy dukes at the Grocery store for buddah's sake. Yet he insisted on buying DOA Volleyball to gawk at the fake girls. ah vell, atleast maybe he won't be harrasing any real ones.

So true. I noticed anything made by Nintendo, Square, or RARE automatically by default gets at least a 9, usually a 9.9 or a 10. I've learned to take their scores with a grain of salt. I see others feel the same.

Yeah totally, that's something I forgot to mention was their biasness for certain companies, mostly the ones you mentioned. Its like those companies can do NO wrong in IGNs opinion. (Im a bit of a Nintendo fan boy, but even I can admit they make mistakes.. .like Metroid in 3D... Love the game, but come on...)

Oxnard Hamster 06-04-2003 12:30 AM

I'm a Nintendo fanboy myself. I noticed they gave OOT and MM like 9.9. While those two games are good, they aren't anywhere near the score they got.
I think a lot of sites are guilty of what I like to call "score inflation." Every game has to have at least an 8. It's like they are afraid of offending people who might like the game. Heck, I've seen people whine about reviews that gave Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda: Wind Waker 8s. C'mon! 8's are damn good scores! Certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Peanut 06-04-2003 11:40 AM

Actually just about every videogame site and magazine ever gave OOT somewhere between 9.8 and 10. They say it's one of the best games ever created and I tend to agree with them. MM didn't deserve a 9 anything but OOT deserved what it got.

Karpo_007 06-04-2003 12:03 PM

IF I should give score to Majoras Mask, it would get 6 or 7. 9 is way to much. Ocarina of Time desrves the 9 tough.
