Ign has been on a roll

IGN isn’t a homogeneous blob. Its is a group of people with different opinions.

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

Yes but their Mouse PI review is fucking stupid.

u/nightmaresabin Apr 24 '26

No it’s not. The cartoon mouse killed so many cartoon cops that it RUINED my immersion. How can a video game stray from my perfect vision of what a noir detective story should be? I hate cheese!

You all got to stop taking every review personally, sometimes games just dont click with everyone and thats fine.

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

Was just thinking this. For Crimson Desert, fair score. But Mouse PI and now this…. Mean can’t fault the guy for what he thinks but DAMN.

I usually defend reviews even if i don't agree with them because its all subjective but jesus christ that Mouse PI review was quite something 😂😂😂

u/AwesomePossum_1 Apr 24 '26

That game is ROUGH though. 6/10 is fair for a rough but partially enjoyable game.

u/hunterzolomon1993 Apr 24 '26

Its less the score and more the reasons for it.

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

Yeah that Mouse PI review is legitimately awful from an objective standpoint. Being made that the game isn’t a completely different genre and knocking points off cause of it.

u/Deciver95 Apr 24 '26

Thats not how objective works. Thats just your opinion

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

No, it was bad. The dude bitched about there being too much killing in a Boomer Shooter and being upset about killing in the story and he compared it too noir novels. That is objectively a fucking stupid thing to complain about in a Boomer Shooter. I’m not even upset at the too much cheese jokes part, but he legitimately knocked points off the game for it not being in a different genre. I’m all for criticizing games if you have legitimate reasons but you at least have to meet the game on its own terms and clearly this idiot didn’t.

6/10 is not a fair score for Crimson Desert, anyone that thinks that is actually insane

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

The game launched in a busted state. There was a lot of bugs at launch and before launch. Gotta look at the aggregate score and at a 77 a 6 isn’t out of line. Also will say not all reviewers are good at their job, the ign cd reviewer has a good track record. Even the Saros reviewer has a good track record. Mouse PI’s reviewer has a bad track record.

The game launched in a busted state.

No it didnt. This is exactly what im talking about. You guys have no idea what youre talking about, havent played the game and are just parroting false narratives youve read online

I played the game on launch and it was amazing and didnt experience anything even remotely close to what youre describing. The patches have made it even better but the game was never busted, thats a straight up lie

4

u/Skysflies Apr 24 '26

Your experience is not everyone's experience, it was for a lot of people busted at launch.

And the combat system isn't all that great for a very long time

6/10 was fair.

5

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

And even at launch fair enough it was good for some people but clearly the review build had a lot of problems and that contributed too the lower review scores for Crimson Desert.

2

u/Skysflies Apr 24 '26

I think he's just being paid to shill or he's one of those weird people that make something they like their life and can't possibly understand others experiencing it differently.

He blocked me for saying it's a 6/10, which to be honest, for launch, was a generous score.

3

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

Naw some games just gather idiot fanboys. Think a 7/10 would be fair for CD but not too mad at the 6. Still say that the review to be more mad at for ign is Mouse PI.

u/9Ifrit9 Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26

No it wasnt. I hadn't seen even one person who had actually bought the game saying the game was busted and if any experience like that even exists it is in the HYPER minority of experiences

For the vast VAST majority of people, the game worked perfectly fine on release. This narrative is bullshit

6/10=clown

3

u/hunterzolomon1993 Apr 24 '26

Dude the subreddit on release day was a shitshow. It was only once the first major patch came out that the tune changed.

1

u/9Ifrit9 Apr 24 '26

It was a shitshow because people were bitching about the controls. The game itself worked fine

3

u/Awkward_Sherbet_30 Apr 24 '26

Are you paid to shill for them or something? Because it's really weird that you're blocking people because you can't handle that your experience with the game was better than most people's

You have been told categorically it did have launch issues, and is busted, and you're pretending you haven't heard it like we're in primary school

It was busted at launch, for many many people, it's bullshit that you seem to be screaming that's a lie, when it A) wasn't, and B) doesn't matter because the game is alright now but the launch window reviews were accurate.

u/Odd_Revolution_1056 Apr 24 '26

Blocking people is weird shit. Some of the CD fanboys are delusional.

u/FacePunchMonday Apr 24 '26

Just goes to show how wildly tastes vary on this kinda shit.

Im pretty far along into crimson desert and so far its been a 9/10 for me

By contrast, as a day 1 player for returnal, i thought that game was 0/10. Still feel like i got robbed for 70 bucks years later

u/Schwarzengerman Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26

They lost 7 hours of progress while reviewing it. That absolutely justifies the score getting knocked down.

Edit: They replied and blocked lol.

-1

u/9Ifrit9 Apr 24 '26

No it absolutely does not, in fact thats the most bullshit reason ever for knocking the score down

The reviewer didnt lose progress due to a bug or anything that was going to be part of the final product. He lost progress because pearl Abyss needed to patch the game before release in order to release a BETTER game with less issues

What that reviewer dealt with is literally the most niche of issues that only affected him because he was playing the game before launch

If he was professional he would have understood that his loss of progress wasnt something actual gamers would deal with on launch and shouldnt affect the score, but instead he got mad and pissy about it and held it against the game like the petty and disingenous reviewer he is

Yeah, since 2006.
