Dissing them because they said BF2042 was good when it wasn’t is like talking shit on the rain for making things wet. “10/10 IGN” To describe shitty things has been a meme for over a decade, I think.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 day agoIGN scale: 7/10 - we didn’t get paid enough for this, but we don’t want to burn bridges 8/10 - contract stated we could be honest, and the game kinda sucked; OR it was a pretty good indie, but we didn’t get paid 9/10 - pretty good indie, but we don’t want to lump it with the bigger studies; OR bad AAA game, but they paid a lot for this review 10/10 - good enough for the amount they paid for the review
