Counterpoint: Only the IGN review team is the shite portion of IGN.Both companies are shite and they deserve each other. A match made in heaven.
That’s fair.Counterpoint: Only the IGN review team is the shite portion of IGN.
Every other team does decent work at providing good content, especially the ones providing high quality trailer and preview footage.
I saw that earlier when I bought Tekken. I guess they needed to use a character people could recognize to promote the game.Who’s dick move was this to put fucking Batman on the store screen? That’s some real bullshit right there. Wow

It rotates characters. It was Green Lantern earlier.I saw that earlier when I bought Tekken. I guess they needed to use a character people could recognize to promote the game.

I would rather an entity be honest about a lack of quality from the product they’re previewing, than them “selling” it because it’s their “business model”, thanks. Had IGN tried to sell what is clearly an extensively lackluster product to their viewers and readers, they would have come out the other side of this as extremely disingenuous and misleading.It's not. It's literal sponsored content. IGNs job is to sell product. Their business model is to secure early access to games in order to drive clicks.
Looking at the posts, there's two camps to previews:
1. A preview is supposed to be about promoting the game in a positive light and not grilling it
2. A preview can be whatever it wants to be. Game writer has the game and writes what they want good or bad
I go for #2. The less BS and rose coloured glasses shilling the better. But if a game site wants to be all cheery to get in their good books for ad revenue and early access code, that's on them and their business strategy
The subtitle is literally "kill the Justice League." We havent seen how they take on Superman or Batman. It is theoretically possible its kinda cool.Just as bad and misleading lol
Geez, this reeks of desperation.Who’s dick move was this to put fucking Batman on the store screen? That’s some real bullshit right there. Wow
Some people are just illiterate victims that will always take the side of big corps because they feel like lost children if marketing does not tell them exactly what to like.Never thought I'd see people defending WB over this. Was IGN supposed to lie in the preview to make them feel better?
Both WB and IGN (Ziff Davis) are big corps, btw. Which one are you, to use your phrasing, an illiterate victim of?Some people are just illiterate victims that will always take the side of big corps because they feel like lost children if marketing does not tell them exactly what to like.
They are weak and despicable. And you can see some of them in this thread
“Previews … neutral”
No, previews should be indicative of the final product and any issues should be highlighted, and trash should be called out.
I'd go for a third option.Looking at the posts, there's two camps to previews:
1. A preview is supposed to be about promoting the game in a positive light and not grilling it
2. A preview can be whatever it wants to be. Game writer has the game and writes what they want good or bad
So you're hoping people will lose their jobs just because you don't like them?IGN is shit and WB games has been shit. Loll hope ign goes out of business.

I agree with you, but the hit piece they put out was unprofessional and they could have shit on the game when they put the actual review out
I’m gonna try it out on release and decide for myself. But I usually enjoy some games the general public hates so…I don't get why people have to throw so much shit to this game. Just don't buy it and done. There's a lot of effort put on these projects by people who have no agency in WB's corporate decisions.
Why are you being soft ? Foh , ppl lose their jobs everyday .So you're hoping people will lose their jobs just because you don't like them?
Wow. Just wow.... You're part of the cancel culture. That much is evident now... GTFO.
We all sure this game is going to suck? It kind of reminds me of Sunset Overdrive.
Stop adding a moral “framing” to what is essentially a business transaction between 2 businesses. WB doesn’t owe IGN review codes that drive revenue to IGN. Going to Twitter to create a media spectacle is both unprofessional and malicious.
IGN is also corporate. They, and other corporate media outlets, are also engaging in gatekeeping. They are largely in control of the public's perception of games since so many people rely on gaming sites and review scores to make purchase decisions. That's why they should be striving to present information in a way that allows the reader to draw their own conclusions instead of presenting editorial and opinion as reporting.It's open and honest! One day these "corporations" will realize the gatekeeping is coming to an end. They should have respected IGN's preview and worked from there.
Stand and be counted, for or against Suicide Squad.
I retract the last part of my statement. You're right. That said, I still hold to the idea that 'moralizing' this interaction is the wrong take.It's open and honest! One day these "corporations" will realize the gatekeeping is coming to an end. They should have respected IGN's preview and worked from there.
I'd generally agree.
However, it's important to figure in the fact that games aren't finished in the earlier previews, thus the devs probably expect a certain amount of leeway from those reporting on them. If journalists take to going hard on the previews, there simply won't be any as devs will want to wait and show a more polished product.
