Decline IGN Goes Beyond Retarded

[bionicman]

No, you’re NOT a real gamer.

I’m so sick of all these people that think they’re gamers. No, you’re not. Most of you are not even close to being gamers. I see these people saying “I put well over 100 hours in this game, it’s great!” that’s nothing, most of us can easily put 300+ hours in all our games. I see people who only have a Nintendo Switch and claim to be gamers. Come talk to me when you pick up a PS4 controller then we be friends.

Also DEAR ALL WOMEN: Pokémon is not a real game. Animal Crossing is not a real game. The Sims is not a real game. Mario is not a real game. Stardew valley is not a real game. Mobile games are NOT. REAL. GAMES. put down the baby games and play something that requires challenge and skill for once.

Sincerely, all of the ACTUAL gamers.

As far as these lists go it isn't half bad given that it has a fair number of less than obvious PC tittles and lesser known stuff in general. They'll always be of its time so I'm not too bothered with some of the choices and placements. It's certainly not nearly as bad as RPS's infamous lists.

I don't mind them putting 20 Marios and Zeldas at the top, it's their judgement regarding specific genres (Ass Effect and Twitcher best WRPGs, Chrono Trigger best JRPG, GTA V best GTA etc.) that makes it a really lowbrow list.

Also, you can immediately see they're not real gamers as there are no racing games there (I see Mario Kart 8 and Burnout 3, but that just proves my point).

Zelda is one of the most well-designed and consistently good series of video games. Pure adventure captured incredibly well with gameplay that is fun and memorable. Despite the retardation of this list, Zelda is one of the best series of all time. BOTW shouldn’t be the #1 game of all time, because it isn’t even the #1 Zelda game. I think IGN wanted it to be the Ocarina of Time of this gen (because OoT is the highest rated game on metacritic or something, idk).

What did you expect ign is the quintessential modern game jurnalist, posting and clicking the link is actually helping them

Not if we throw enough abuse their way. It would be nice to see some tweets & shit about "staff taking toxic vitrol" etc. by the end of the day.

If you really need to share and promote their garbage, you could next time use an archive.org link instead.

Also:

So out of the top 100 games of all time, Fable 2, Monster Hunter: World, Skyrim, Earthbound and Undertale are all worthy of a place on there ahead of any Baldur's Gate games apparently.

Nothing wrong with that, Baldur's Gate is garbage.

Do those people know they don't know shit and they are doing this just for the money or they actually believe that they have knowledge/skills and are some kind of authority?

Finally, the circle is closed, we determined that everything is shit. Always has been.

 

[Sigourn]

I hate Nintentoddlers.

 

[Jarpie]

Can't spell ignorant without IGN!

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Opinions, dude.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Top lists are cheaply produced bait.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Producing lists that monitor, rate and judge is so characteristic of a bullshit job. The poor sods that are compiling these lists are probably themselves being monitored by a man-ager. IGN could go bust overnight and nobody would even feel there's something amiss.

Saw Borderlands at #100, stopped reading after that.

Off the scale retardation

Please use an archive link for the opening post instead: https://archive.fo/MRA1F
Don't reward these retards with clicks.

You should learn some history, the Codex went down the toilet the moment we stopped mocking BGtards and weebs.

 

[BING XI LAO]

The list could be more retarded, it could have civ5 instead of civ4 for example.

Also, lmao @ disco disco in #10 (never played)

I counted 25 games from the 90s, and only 5 from the 80s. Of those, a huge chunk are Nintendo titles. The codex claim of living in times of decline is deboonked; fact checkers confirm, video games are now better than ever

I've not played most of those, but there is a reason why Zelda is so beloved. I only played OoT and Majora's Mask. I hated Majora's Mask, but OoT was fucking ridiculously great.

Mario 64 and Zelda: OoT are two of the greatest games ever made. Anyways, I'm surprised the Last of Us: 2 is on there and not the first one which I've never played, but people harp on about it being among the greatest games ever.

Like, games that I know are high tier from either friends talking about them or how they were crazy good are Half-Life, Last of Us, GTA: SA, Halo, MGS, Dark Souls, Fallout: 2, Symphony of the Night, Mario 64, OoT, Silent Hill: 2, Deus Ex, System Shock: 2, Doom, Baldur's Gate: 2, and Counter Strike.

I feel any list needs to have these at least or games that are better sequels.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

games designed for young children tend to score high on these lists as they're the games that reviewers can actually play

TLoU2 became another pet cause of the left because it owned the chuds, so of course it needs to be there. Nevermind that the fans hated it.

(And this is after the purge of thousands of negative reviews)

Reminder that Battle for Bikini Bottom(rated 5/10 by IGN) has a higher user score on Steam than pretty much any game that was given a 10/10 by IGN in years.

Must be about clicks instead of objective journalism.
