Stop it with your conspiracies veggie
they should make the one who reviewed in on wiiU review it again on other platform
also , gaming site like IGN should put more then one person to review a game
every game need a team to review , not just one

Maybe the WiiU reviewer doesn't want to play the game again? I mean who wants to replay a 6.3 game again? We have better things to do in life than repeat tasks we view mediocre.

I like that idea,like 3 people review the game and their separate score is given but the man score is the 3 averaged out. Doesnt that japanese magazine do that except with 5 ppl?
Someone who is told to by their employer regardless of their "want"?
Those are both fucking terrible ideas. Why the hell would it need to be the same person reviewing it again? There's literally no logical reason that needs to be done.
And team reviews? Lel, good luck with that , hope you like reviews 1 week after release!

Greg Miller isn't at IGN anymore.
That's how lots of magazines did it in the past and some still do where a few reviewers seperately write down their opninions. Online it's more rare, costs time and thus money and someone will still complain.

Love the vivid style they went with. It's borderlining on being realistic, but the hand painted strokes give it a distinct look that their art team really knows how to work to fit the mood.
Gonna miss Arcadia Bay once it's all over. Episode 4's

I like when sites have multiple verdicts at the end of their reviews/impressions, done by multiple people who played the game.

Assigning someone to re-review a game that's released on another platform when they felt the initial release was just okay is asking for phoned-in, sub-par work. Yes, you will always have to assign someone work you know they don't want to do in life, but in IGN's case they have a much better alternative here: a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at the game to offer a second opinion. So of course they went that route.

also the original reviewer doesn't work at IGN anymore...so there's that
Bias would still happen either way, and the advantage for the is basically null as they would read several reviews from several different sources anyway. Also, putting 2 or three people isn't practical or cheap.
More like Queen of Refunding am I rite
lol stop buying so many games you're not sure of!

Please continue until they block you and then tell us how much in what time frame got refunded, I'm still curious to know the limits.

6.3 isn't mediocre though. A 5 would be mediocre.
lies, i don't see his avatar
Is it proper Sony first-party / Sony-funded?
Because I sure hope not, I'd kind of like to play it.
6.3 is fucking terrible on the modern AAA games review scale. What 6.3 is supposed to mean is kind of irrelevant.
I hate when people say that. Remember school marks, if they work like german marks in your country. You get 50% of the answers right, that's not mediocre, that's bad.

People who exploit the refund system make me sick, it's sam and all of steam's fun holiday events all over again.

You won't be playing then. ): (I'll let you know how it is!)
when you refund games, you could choose "it's not what I expected", so I don't think someone impulse buying a game, hating it within the first 15minutes and refunding it is considered exploiting, I mean I agree if you're refunding too much then I think the person should do more research but it's still within the boundary
ive refunded around 16 games so far since the feature launched
Maybe it's time you... stopped buying games without looking into them nicely.
Darn it. :|
Edit: And you better, damn it!
Why can't Xbox Juan get these interesting games as exclusives? Those tend to leak over to PC eventually ._.

That image quality is ridiculously clean, good screenshot.
Somewhat contradicting yourself here. You are calling for the same reviewer to review the game both times, yet at the same time asking for them to have a team of reviewers to get multiple opinions.
With that said, I think citing an IGN review for this game will be inherently problematic. Zombi is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole so to speak.
IGN is looking for a certain style of AAA game that is massively polished, has a large marketing budget, and fits their demographic.
Zombi is obtuse, difficult, no marketing budget, and didn't have access to an astronomical development budget. These type of games will rarely score 'well' as far as IGN metrics are concerned.
From what I've heard from various developers, the statistics are showing people are more likely to take a chance on a game with the refund system in place.
People willing to exploit the system will always exist. I agree that aspect should be discussed and mitigated, but if they remain the minority than it shouldn't be a problem.

I was mostly exaggerating anyway, one imagines steam will eventually follow through on their threats to stop refunding people who abuse the system which should keep things in check unlike Sam which there was no coming back from.
Console people should add me, I have all three <3

Is there a way to request a refund more directly than the system provided?
I'm looking to get a refund on Half Minute Hero 2, which isn't a good game. I've previously owned the first, which is great. HMH2 cannot be purchased on it's own, it's a bundled package.
It seems if I was to refund, I'd lose both games, even though the extra copy of the first one I bought with the package wasn't given to me. I've own the first prior to this bundle. I don't believe it's fair to lose the first game, because it's not.

I love you. My old deagle (prior to me getting a Blaze) was called Juan!
I should get a new nametag and call my new one Juan. (420 Blaze was considered very shortly, but then I realised it was very childish and also overused)
I have the three best ones!
Playstation 1, 2 and a Gameboy Advance.
All I fokken need.
