Exactly. Up votes for days.
So you've never played Goat Simulator then huh?
That's awesome Iceland is a really beautiful place, wouldn't mind "roaming" around in it.
Or Sea of Thieves a boating simulator. "Walking simulator" is just the latest in disparaging buzzwords the haters have crafted to downplay the game. When they have little to actually legit complain about they find the simplest troll phrase they can and they roll with it.
Had they said taking it very seriously NOW I could understand your question but nothing mentioned was an indication of attitude change as much as it was simply letting people know where they stand on the service.
Its not lame its how you keep your console relevant unlike other companies.
Pretty lame attempt considering they say exactly who in the title and sub text above.
@mandingo
Really? Then explain the 67 positive review scores 15 of which are perfect scores.
Mountain Dew and Monster are two different things, try harder.
Really good choice the dude is a smart guy and knows how to foster great games and great relationships in the industry.
Yeah well IGN USA has always been garbage anyway. Now we know they can't handle a deep meaningful thinking mans game as well. They gave Modern Warfare an 8.2 so its all a bunch of mindless pew pew pew pound that Mountain Dew twitchy dude bros over there, D-Strand was just too cerebral and complex for their brains to deal with.
"We haven't seen anything like this level of damage control since the much anticipated Days Gone received average reviews earlier this year."
Haven't seen this level of pathetic attempt at a smear campaign since Days Gone either. The game sits at an 83 on metacritic that's only one point lower then Gears 5 which was herald as a success. It has 64 positive reviews, 12 mixed and only 2 negative scores that are so obvious and blatant as to their intention...
IGN must have been playing a different game then Giantbum and Star News was playing.
"And with this review the Meta dropped to 83."
Which was their intention. Mission accomplished gaintbomb.
Must be but its probably the only reviews you believe while ignoring the 64 positive reviews which includes 15 perfect scores. Giantbum is just another click bait shallow review with the intention of lowering the overall metascore nothing more. Click revenue must be low over at Giantturd.
@Kribwalker
"especially when it feels like the entire game is a giant fetch quest"
"Based off reviews and what i’ve seen in trailers i know this games not for me"
So if its not for you and you clearly haven't played it how do you know what the entire game feels like?
"People are allowed to hate something"
I'll have to remember that one.
We here at starnews would love it if you just clickety click clicked that button.
Who made you the voice of the common gamer?
@ TK-66
I never said it was a new term I said its the latest to be used to attack THIS game, learn to read. Now you can tone down your bully mentality.
