IGN Continues to be an Embarrassment with Resident Evil 2 Review

1. The plagiarist didn't just do so one time. After this came out, people reviewed his past works and it was found he had been doing this for YEARS!

   These "video game journalists" are given these reviews to make, are expected to publish multiple every week, and don't take the time (or have the required skill, cf. CupHead review tutorial debacle) to do it properly. It's also much easier in their field of work, compared to something along the lines of YouTube, to "fake it" since they don't have to show proof for anything they do (apart from screenshots, sometimes a 1 minute video clip, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's sometimes someone else that does this part of the work).

   And from what I heard people of "the industry" say, they don't really communicate with one another for these reviews. It's pretty much an assignment that barely gets spell-checked before it's published.

2. I'm just wondering if IGN are actually gamers, to know the fact that they have been poorly reviewing a lot of games a make a lot of mistakes, but it is what it is, IGN stills sucks

3. Guaranteed, he did not beat the game. Lazy and stupid.

4. Ever year they do is plagiarizing reviews, telling people that whole franchise is a terrible that have been for 25 years and now this WTF

5. Thank you! Someone in the gaming community who actually knows how to use the word "entitled".

6. Sorry but he made a good point. There was not enough content for a 60$ game, even if the quality of that content was very good. I mean it would be more faire for a 40-30$ price tag.

7. video game journalists/reviewers are the weakest race

8. Ign is such a joke at game reviews

9. It's lucky that I don't watch these clowns

10. All that I consume from IGN are Gamescoop and Nintendo Voice Chat, but here on Youtube. I haven't gone into IGN's website for any gaming news in forever.
    Although the other day I did read an artivle from 2015 of some crybaby complaining about Bloodborne being too hard and blaming the game for his incompetence to find shortcuts and learn basic mechanics.

11. I only watched ign at first because of Naomi Kyle. Then Alanah Pierce. Then I unsubbed. It feels like the quality has left ign.

12. How are they still in business? The only people who takes them seriously is the industry!

13. According to ex employees they don’t have editors or anyone to check their work. They just write and publish.

14. There is no excuse for their incompetence. These journalists don't seem to be interested in video games. It's RE2 REMAKE!!! take this shit seriously!!

15. Well then

16. Not enough zapping 7/10

17. IGN's Dissidia NT review was a bad one ?

18. That is always IGN. They never take responsibility for anything they do wrong. Btw, many writers at IGN have stated openly on podcasts they don't need to finish a game to review it. Justin, Sam, Greg, Colin, and Daemon… probably others. So, I'm not sure why you're just now finding out about this!

    Also, clearly you dont know Daemon. He is very, very high up on the IGN food chain. But, that is 100% his persona. He has the mindset that he is never wrong and always knows best.

19. Lemme get this straight. Hey beat the first half of the game, reset the game instead of playing the second half, and then complained the game was the same. Fuckin hell, you can't spell ignorant without IGN.

20. Watching IGN reviews really makes you FEEL LIKE SPIDER MAN

21. I don’t think this is necessarily Daemon’s fault, I think this is a problem that arises when these websites rush reviewers to get the review out first

22. Fire Emblem: Three Heroes

23. Dude I couldn't agree more the second worst to me is Polygon just read what the "reviewer" said about Kingdom Hearts III, she was trying so hard to be edgy and nit picky it made me cringe, thank god I don't give two tits and a gravy about game reviews, nice video btw.

24. I still piss how they kill God hand game with shitty review.

25. Agree with every word. You get paid to do job, so it’s inexcusable that they don’t do their job.

    For a long time now the only reason I look at these sites just to make fun of them

26. 2017: "You don't have to be good at games to review them."

    2019: "You don't have to play games to review them."

27. Oh yeah yeah

28. They also said nothing about the extra modes you unlock once finishing the main story. ?

29. Most reviewers did the same thing with Nier Automata, didn't play the "second play through" aka the rest of the game. Complaining the game was too short, or felt incomplete.

30. isnt that a common thing? so basically people were proven right about reviewers not doing their job 100%

31. Very wack. Because I’ve played 6 hours of this game now and… still haven’t finished but I’d give it a 10. One of the best games ever… anyone giving this less than an 8.8 to begin with would have me like WTF. This dude’s not hardcore enough to be a games critic.

32. Looks like Ign Dun goofed

33. Everybody needs to unsubscribe IGN

34. Funny that we’re talking dead cells and resident evil 2 cuz really this has been the only game to pull me off dead cells on the switch, holy shit I couldn’t get enough of it lol but this shit is fire really brings me back to playing the original as a kid ? really agree with everything in this video tho these fucking idiots get paid to review these games no excuse to say oh I’m just not gonna finish it like a fucking book report in 5th grade and just throw somthing together where the teacher gives you a C cuz she knows you didn’t read the fucking book gimme a break

35. Clearly someone no one played the og re2

36. The system of game reviewing is broken. You get a game one week/day before release and the strict deadlines kill it.

37. IGN was never good…

38. How is this just getting big now? ign a lot of times never finishes the game.

39. Why can't everyone who runs and works at IGN drop dead? I am not sorry at all for wishing death on those clickbait scumbag talentless pieces of trash who plagiarize articles and are bad at video games. The world would be a better place with IGN out of business. Less trash articles to worry about.

40. In other breaking news, grass grows and rain falls.
