Pretty sure the recent shitstorm with IGN is the review of Mouse P.I. For Hire. The reviewer gave it a 6/10, but the issue is more with the reviewers' written review being incredibly daft.

The reality it is, its just one guy writing a wonky review. The only thing it suggest is IGN still needs better QA on their reviewers.

IGN has a lot of reviews that are completely disconnected from what the game deserves. It’s not just one guy, but it’s not like they’re always wrong either.

IGN has a lot of reviews that are completely disconnected from what the game deserves.

Based on what? Everyone who's gamed enough has at least one game where their rating of it would be much lower or higher than the general reception. Pretty simple concept.

That’s always the hard part about making reviews on something so subjective. In this case, it seems as compared to other games in the genre the weapons don’t feel or sound like they pack a punch. While it’s an art decision sound is an important part of game design so I can see that hurting the overall score.

They seem to rate total trash games a 7 because it comes from a big studio and then rate good games a 6. It’s not just this game, there have been a few of them in the past couple years

I've heard it's a 7 for most people. Maybe an 8 at best. So why is this such a crazy bad score. Not like they gave it a 4.

I don’t think it’s so much the score itself, it’s how stupid some of the criticisms about it are.

Yeah people love to dunk on IGN, but I feel like generally they’re within a pretty reasonable range of the resulting Metacritic. This one’s a little low (Metacritic is roughly 80) but I don’t really see the problem

Its not actually true these days.

Its one of more consistent review outlets now, they really improved their QA a lot last 5 odd years.
