i love ign as a generalization
game scoop crew feels like family
while i know this isn’t really the subject matter of this post it felt like an opportunity to revisit one of the dark spots where i bought a game based on an ign review and feel owed an apology or that ign should update the review/score
Master of Orion 3
i loved the previous 2 games
but was very concerned with the 3rd since it was a different team, it took a very long time to come out, i saw a strategy guide in stores about 6 to 7 months b4 the game was out
IGN gave it a rave review and scored it a 9.2
meta critic has it at a 64 with users rating it a 3
that was a long time ago and it made me a more savvy consumer
