Why does /v/ shit on a single IGN reviewer for clearly having a preference for games but will suck off some random youtuber essay zoomie for making a biased review in favor of [insert FOTM here] (especially if the reviewer is against the same politics as /v/)?

Sure.

Tendies defending paid reviews is hilarious

>>715706141 (OP)
Who cares? It's IGN, any score by them is at best an approximation how much the dev was willing to pay for it.

>>715706141 (OP)
Lmfao that Nintendo bonus is extremely real

>>715706141 (OP)
what do you mean, because he went to universal studios he's biased?

>unbiased reviews
There's no such thing. "Objectivity" in criticism is a completely retarded idea and the only people hanging onto it are manchildren who have no idea how criticism works. It's a conversation between the critic and the work. They bring their own identity to it and the work responds in kind and that generates a critique. I'm not saying the IGN review is good--it's probably dogshit, because IGN hires shit, bottom-of-the-barrel writers--but the sooner you fags realize that objective criticism does not exist, the better. You'd be better off reading a Wikipedia article.

This faggot is literally in bed with nintendo. People like this dude are the reason why big greedy corpos can get away with anything these days, ESPECIALLY nintendo

>>715706141 (OP)
I was there last month though.

Super Nintendo Land was okay, but the best land there is Dark Universe. Monsters Unchained is essentially what Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey should eventually be renovated to have the same quality anamatronics and screen quality, since it's the same type of ride. Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry keeps breaking down, and only went on it once where it didn't go down. The How to Train Your Dragon rides were good, and the best coaster is in Celestial Park.

As for the Nintendo things, the Mario Kart ride should have been based off of World, the Yoshi's Island ride is questionable since it's based off of games that are too demanding for children and I doubt any little kid played a 30 year old SNES game anyway, and Mine Kart Madness should have been based off of what Rare did since Rare's three Donkey Kong Country games (as well as Donkey Kong 64) are timeless, unlike Retro Studio's offerings.

>>715711587
Yeah, and normal people don’t write 1,200-word hit pieces with “Nintendo Magic” in the headline after riding the Yoshi ride and eating a $25 Mario burger. It’s not about going to the theme park, it’s about coming back with a review score inflated by the smell of branded popcorn and nostalgia-induced blindness.

He gave a nintendo game 5/10 last year retard.

Lol

Lmao

How old are you?

On the one hand a fan may get overexcited about a new entry in the series on the other it's important for people to know if the new entry still holds the quality of an ongoing
If you wanted an honest review of Rings of Power would you trust the opinion of someone who holds the Jackson Trilogy in high regards or someone who thinks they're outdated and problematic?

He's more then happy to give Nintendo shit. He gave Mario & Luigi Brothership a 5.

>unbiased reviews
A literal by definition oxymoron. Reviews are opinion pieces, bias is always implied.

>>715706141 (OP)
Not defending a tendie, but there was never such thing as unbiased reviews. Reviewers are human, same as you and I, each with their own tastes and preferences. They can only try to be objective.
However, it's probably better to let the reviewers who ARE biased in favor of the game to review them, rather than do the opposite. Because they're closer to the game's intended audience.
If you let some, say, FIFA reviewer, who's been doing that job for 20 years, of to review the latest FromSoft game. He won't do a good job. Even if he discovers he really likes this new genre. He wouldn't have the experience with the previous games in the series, or the adjacent games in the genre by different devs.

>>715706141 (OP)

I don't see the problem here.

Why do they always look like this?

Can you trust a positive review if the reviewer has previously positively reviewed a game from that series, developer, or publisher?
How do we get ethics back into video game journalism?

>>715706141 (OP)
god forbid you like the type of games you review, lest we end up with IGN's 4/10 god hand review due to people who hate and are bad at action games reviewing them.

Not that I'm defending ign's scoring in any way. but this is a logical fallacy. try arguing out of good faith arguments, it would make this board less shit.

>>715706141 (OP)
don't get your reviews from ign then. nintendo life also gave it a 10/10.

>>715721745
So true

>>715715982
The Mario Kart Ride is legit one of the coolest and most immersive amusement park rides I've ever been on. The goggles are too narrow, but the AR works really well.

IGN hires 13 years old boys? I mean based, young people need to learn to work and contribute to society. I am happy for this young fella, and excited for what career path he will take in his 20s and 30s.

As long as journalists are primarily lefties, they'd rather have people on a pedophile honeypot than on a site that's owned by someone who's totally a nazi.

>>715706141 (OP)
i don't really care what some bum thinks but i do have a soft spot for game criticism that has appeared over the decades in magazines and sites like IGN/gamespot, and it's depressing to see an IGN review turn into a glorified influencer post--"OMG!! this was EPIC and my FAVORITE GAME ever!"
a good game review should say something about the game design, how it fits among its peers and classics of the genre, the gameplay/how it relates to plot themes.....the DK review is just pure nothingness, the guy was so starstruck by getting to go to the nintendo press events and getting the review assignment that he'd already decided it was his favorite game ever when he played the demo (he actually said this in the kinda funny interview yesterday)

>>715722997
I think that’s a requirement to be a journalist right now.

the game has a 91 on metacritic from like 83 critics. are the overwhelming majority of them just tendies?
>yes
then why do the same reviewers like sony moviegames?

Safe-edgy scores. He always looks at the general consensus and makes a review based on it.
Brotherhood was getting shat on, so it gets a 5.
Mario Kart was getting shat on, but it's a system seller can't give it a 5, let's give it an 8.

Come on dude. it's all bought up and paid for already
