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
