It's IGN. That's surprisingly low a score for them

On their front page currently and there's only 3 games they've given a lower score all month (Road Redemption for PC a 5.7, FIFA Switch a 5.5, and Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series a 5). Everything else got at least a 7.5

Yup, people are conditioned to think anything scored below 8 is average nowadays.

Look at the backlash to people scoring Breath of the Wild below 9…


NINE!

Perhaps I'm just incredibly fatigued on open worlds but I don't really see how anyone can score BotW above an 8.

It's not even in the top 5 Zelda games.

I’m with you, BotW is ok but everyone is so used to Nintendo just barfing out the same formula every game that people lose their minds when Nintendo displays even a modicum of innovation.

The fact IGN still gives this game a 7 will mean nothing. They can't improve the gameplay, the can't stop the glitches, they can't make a good game.

It's funny that Dental Plan mentions RE7 because I have the same sentiment regarding that. It's a fresh take on the staleness that RE had become but I really didn't enjoy RE7 that much when all was said and done; the lack of replayability killed it for me.
[That said, it's a step in a better direction and I hope they iterate on the best parts of RE7 in a sequel.]

Really liked SD tonight. Rusev was great as always. He and English have great chemistry. Main event was great. Shinsuke finally being paired with good wrestlers and away from Jinder. Sami is doing really great as a heel.

Also, they are doing a really good job getting people excited to see Daniel Bryan wrestle outside of WWE.

Sami is relevant. Great stuff here

Or maybe it’s an incredible game? One helluva leap of logic you made there

We were kinda half-joking with AJ being the next big star fed to the Jinder experiment (because wwe is terrible so it was the logical next step) and fuck if that isn't exactly what's happening.

Jesus Christ.

I think it's possible (not likely, but possible) that they have AJ take the title off of him at the December PPV.

Remember when everyone was happy about Jinder getting a push and people who said he was shit were told "no fun allowed."

Look what you have all wrought.

I am putting my tinfoil bullshit hat on and trust me it’s all bullshit.

Jinder is Vince’s way of telling his “employees” that they’re entitled to shit, no matter how good of a performer they are and how over they were around the world. It almost runs parallel to how Trump voters viewed Trump and why they voted him.

I really wonder how they're going to book Jinder vs Brock. If they want to get the absolute most out of Jinder's popularity in India, they'd book him to beat Lesnar. Make him an unquestioned hero to over a billion people for the rest of his career. I could see Roman screwing Brock to help Jinder win, adding more fuel to their feud. I could also see Roman and someone from Smackdown screwing both (match ending in a draw) to set up WrestleMania programs. Really curious to see how this goes. Also curious as to who beats him at WrestleMania for the belt. I'd like if they'd pick someone that could do a lot of good being the face of a brand in the real world climate we're in. Anyone from The New Day would make a great champion, though I'd like to see Big E win. Bring back his five count.

Brock is winning either by pinfall or DQ.

They aren't giving Jinder the win on the road to building Reigns vs Lesnar....

Steenerico are the best kind of heels. They re 100% right but they are just such total assholes about it.

Zayn was on fire with that promo, especially in comparing how when Bryan was screwed by management the fans rallied behind him but with Zayn they gave no shits, and then Owens strutting in and saying Bryan was doing what's best for business and calling him the authority was just the cherry on top.

God with Shield on Raw and Steenerico on Smackdown... it's a fun time.
