IGN review wrong... 5.5

[epic beast]

According to IGN, Duke Nukem Forever is a much better game than Defiance... I don't think I need to comment on their credibility.

Hey dont forget. Duke nukem forever took 11 years in the making lmfao. Biggest pile that was ever made. This game is the god of all video games compared to duke nukem!

IGN is the most bias company out there if your EA top ratings because they pay them for it

My first post here. I am loving Defiance, warts and all (mostly some random server things). EA and IGN used to have related parent companies and affiliates. Now, it's because IGN gets their money from selling games-bad reviews mean games don't sell well. And so they promote big name titles more.

Review sites are worthless, especially if they sell games or point to vendors for the games.

Then what's the point of the score then? This post wasn't meant to be argumentative by any means but you need to know that I play on a console and not PC. 5.5 to me is a game you play for 2 days then your done. I guess I am not as critical as some gamers are due to I have been playing games for 25 years

Funny you said that, I finished Defiance storyline in exactly 2 days playtime. If you create a game with the story to hide the grind you make a game that can hold the test of time... if you make a game that has grind as a means to keep it a float... better hope people don't start seeing that.

If all the review sites on Metacritic re-review this game in 6 months time I feel like the Metascore average would be in the 7.7-9.0 range. That's just my opinion mainly based on the effort I see devs making to make the game better.

It's not the effort that gets a game rating. It's the product. Nobody reviews effort. For all you know, our beloved Trion devs could be kicking back torrenting Iron Man 3 all day.

My bad knew it was some where around there.

trion is pretty good at adding content through out the year, just look at the success of Rift. The 5 content releases will mean it will just get better. look for IGN to review it again in 9 months with a 8.5ish rating.

I don't know why people aren't getting this: This is not developed by the same team that develops Rift. Rift doesn't have the same constraints as Defiance. It's not multi-platform. It's doesn't have concerns about content crossovers with a weekly tv show. There is no reason beyond the show becoming the next best thing since sliced bread for anyone to revisit and redo a review, unless there is a strong uptake in users, or a massively advertised event. The fact that most reviewers see potential in the game as is might mean that they will check in from time to time. But I wouldn't hold my breath for a full review. And again, these 'crystal ball' scoring predictions just perpetuate more threads like this one.
