“Consistent Reliable Resources”

Reynaldo R.
1/16/24

As a gamer, I'm impressed by IGN's capability to deliver consistent reliable resources for the gaming community. The video and podcast also adds a unique element to what they cater because not every gaming news site have these features. I do hope that they improve the loading speed on some of their pages because it may take some time to load.

“Intrusive ads & greed”

IGN S.
11/28/21

Loved ign, but over the last 5 years their ad policy has become the most intrusive in the gaming industry, so much that u cannot even scroll down the page without it stuttering, reloading, ads auto playing. It's basically greed, if u need that many ads to keep going, ruining your customer experience, then hey, lower your outgoings/employees/greedy shareholders etc so you can deliver a half decent service. Most of the decent reviewers have lefts it won't hurt the business if you let a lot of them go. But hey, greed will always come first, especially for American companies

If you really look at them, practically EVERY popular triple A game has top scores with little to no explanation on the "why." If this is not already apparent with the newest games, then ultimately, you must not care about the game's actual content. This is not to say that they MIGHT be good, and no one is saying these games can't be enjoyable, but a game isn't "Great" or a "Masterpiece" because it's just been released or "everyone loves it." Even Undertale was rated "10 a Masterpiece" and if you've played it or even watched it, you might understand why this is an overblown exaggeration of the experience itself. Ultimately, I would use it as a tool to help compare with other opinions on the media as well (good and bad, if you aren't doing that already).

Tl; dr Please be wary of bias =]

My favorite thing about this site is their extensive coverage of different gaming platforms and devices. Content are concise and straight to the point. It's nice how they're always up to trend with recent releases of games, movies, and other entertainment.

I go usually for walkthroughs (their wiki) and sometimes their top or best 10-25 games to decide what to get.

The walkthrough are helpful and have good tips. I benefit from the site.

IGN is one of my go to places for game-related information, reviews and trailers. However, I think they should just stick to game-related stuff and step away from movie information and reviews. If I want to read movie reviews or information on movies, I will go to IMDb. Anyway, overall, IGN is a good website to visit.

Tip for consumers:
If you want game-related information or catch the newest game trailer, check out IGN.

Defiantly trust worthy site the reviews is very creditable I cannot recommend IGN enough compared to the competition. It is my opinion that they're honest, unbiased and certainly appear to enjoy games unlike some other sites!
All of their new reviews have videos which is great to watch on my iPhone and these are kept to a sensible length. The news section is worth checking on a daily basis as is kept up-to-date.
The only area of improvement which i'm sure they'll get to is more coverage of iPhone games..

I don't always agree with the score, but it's always well presented, and the comics section is cool too :)

I love this website. When it comes to certain games like the Grand Theft Auto series, I sometimes like to start a separate games and use cheats just to mess around. This website has tons of cheats available, even for some of the more obscure games. It's quick and easy to find what you're looking for.

It's a pretty good and entertaining place to check up on to stay up to date with the latest news in the gaming world. They also have some fun content on their youtube channels and in other social media.

This site makes it obvious that they trade early access for good reviews. They will rate the worst bull$#*! a 8/10, just to keep the money flowing.

Bad, untrustworthy, hyping games that are crap... this site is all that is awful and sad about the games industry.

IGN Scale goes from 6/10 = utter garbage and game dev that cannot help us get money to 9/10 average to 10/10 good. This site is literally a scam in that regard.

I have spent a lot of money on $#*! games based on reviews from this site.

I watch their reviews, but I never trust the score. I dont think they are unbiased at all. The only games they dare to give low scores is indies not published by any major publisher.

Back in the day, IGN was one of the good video game review sites, but now, it's nothing more than a joke. The reviews these days are horrible, as IGN will give good ratings to Call Of Duty games while any game involving Sonic The Hedgehog gets a bad review. One Kirby game got a low score because of the complaint about the campaign being short (which is kind of expected from a Kirby game). This is not a site for those looking for honest reviews.

There was a thing - Battlefield 3 came out - IGN said "It's a COD killer". Couple months later another Call of Duty game came out (I dont even remember which because there are too many of those). Guess what IGN said then? "COD is so great omg ololol..."
How can you trust some sellout like that?
