The fundamental problem with this comment is that the intended audience is people who will believe anything they read on TH-cam without any statistics to back up these claims.
It's hard to imagine that there was a time when reviews were supposed to help inform your purchasing decision, and not validate a purchase that you've already made. Edit: Some people are misinterpreting this as "old good, new bad". That was not the intended takeaway at all; I'm merely making an observation on the changing market for game reviews. To further clarify, I think that the demographic of people who search out opinion content related to the media they're currently invested in has grown massively in the past few decades, and has mostly eclipsed the "help me decide whether I should buy this thing or not" crowd. Opinion content fills a void left by the decline in real-life friendships; validation of one's experiences must now be attained from the collective zeitgeist rather than from neighbors and colleagues. Mainstream review sites like IGN and Gamespot represent this zeitgeist to many people; to others, Twitter or Reddit does, etc. I'm not throwing shade at anyone, as I'm guilty of engaging in this behavior myself. I also didn't mention anything about industry-media relations, which is a separate topic entirely. Finally, there's a lot of really good opinion content out there that *is* designed for people who have already bought the thing in question, because of course nuance exists.

@@CaptainDoomsdayYou have no idea what you're talking about. Yahtzee Croshaw doesn't optimize a goddamn thing when he's playing a game, with the only exception being if he has to smash through a boring game in just a weekend's time, and even then he'll outright say that that's what he did during the review video. He's consistent, and he's the perfect reviewer because of that. A game reviewer just needs consistency to be used as a tool to determine whether or not you might like a game they're reviewing. A reviewer who has loved every single Legend of Zelda game can't be trusted when they say the new Legend of Zelda game is a 10/10, but since Yahtzee Croshaw tends to shit on all the bad parts of even the video games he loves, him liking the new Legend of Zelda game actually means something. IGN is useless because most of their reviews are 7-10/10 scores, regardless of how bad the game is seen by the majority of its own players. To summarize this entire reply, Yahtzee doesn't need to have fun while playing a video game, _any_ video game, he just needs to have this same opinion about similar types of games so that when he has an out of place opinion, it stands out.
What a thrill, watching his descent from being Walter White back into being his dunkey persona was so entertaining. It felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotion through this entire IGN Review and, quite frankly, it has a little something for everyone. 7/10
It really makes you FEEL like a video game critic TH-camr with a funny side who's also good at writing skits and perfecting the timing on their joke deliveries. 3.5/10
"IGN finally gives a fair and great review." "Super hyped to pick up this game tomorrow." "I haven't played the game yet but your review is in line with my perceived value of the game! Best review ever!" The irony kills me.
That spiderman review really caught me off guard lmao. No chance this dude wrote that line down, said it out loud and thought that was completely fine 💀💀💀💀
Unironically it looks like the patches did fix everything eventually. Gotta appreciate that the developers stuck with the project and finished it instead of moving on
U payed full price for an unfinished game (marketed as finished btw) and now praising the developers for making it good after 2 years or more. Is like paying full price for a big mac, then receiving only the bread and then, after one month, a McDonald's employee comes to your house and gives u the other parts and for this u thank him and the company. (This fucking scam of a game won best ongoing game at the game awards)💀💀💀💀
This really sends home how reviewers truly understand that my favourite games are masterpieces and anyone saying otherwise is too stupid to get my clear superiority and genius in game choice, epic video Mr. OnkeyDonkey.
This is the best Dunkey video I've seen in a while. Thank you for making a non-biased video. I don't know who else could've done this video besides you.
can we all take a moment and appreciate Paulie? I really feel he's the unsung hero behind the success of this channel. Dunkey could never get things on and off the screen by himself
Paulie is great on the show but what he said when he was invited on the Joe Rohan podcast was not okay. It sorta shifted my view of him as a character on “videogamedunkey” and made me realize it was just an act. I don’t think I can enjoy his work anymore. Plus his excessive use of the hard R… 😬
@@malaria6171not everytime though. His opinion really sucks when it comes to plot heavy RPGs (regular ones, I can't stand JRPGs too, even though he gives them unfair criticism in certain situations). He has short attention span and needs instant gratification for his actions with rare exceptions otherwise the game is instadoodoo according to him. Also he values mechanical gameplay too much over everything else. If there is no gameplay that keeps you on your toes, he is lost. Such gameplay is obviously good quality, but its absence doesnt mean that the game is instantly 2/10
People's reactions to game reviews reveal something about humans that's critical to understand. By default, we perceive intelligence primarily based upon how effectively someone reinforces our worldviews.
Funny enough, this is almost exactly how politics works lol Unfortunately, when Gaming and Politics mix together, it usually results in the companies outright denying any sort of bias and or personal political views because the public WILL call them out on it. Granted not everyone thinks the same way, so of course there will always be people who try to defend IGN or any other Gaming Journalist site because they feel the larger majority is “Too Harsh” on these critics. When in reality it only serves to muddy the waters for short period of time and causes no real change anyways. It’s for that reason the I prefer to keep my personal opinions to myself. I’d rather enjoy something for what it is then base my entire existence on the opinion of someone else….
As a kid in the 90s, I was reading different game magazines. I remember one that could be pretty brutal with its scores, really taking advantage of the entire spectrum. The top grades were so rare that I could afford to buy a lot of the games that got them, and they never disappointed. Really regretted spending my pocket money on a game that looked good but didnt get a top score, and I had to admit they were right after all.
There was magazines like EGM that had 4 people review the same game. It told you a little bit about the reviewer and what they currently enjoyed the most. Like the review for Turok on the N64 one reviewer gave it an 8 and another gave it a 5.5 with the other two giving it a 7. I feel that is a good way for an entity like IGN to review stuff. I cannot name any IGN reviewer and any IGN reviews are simply passed off as IGN.
Multiple gamers reviewing always helps. Especially with different tastes. I've seen KF have one where someone hated it, someone loved it and someone else was in between then they explained rationale. @@Gatorade69
@@Gatorade69DUDE EGM was my JAM back in the day! I loved the bad reviews because they were usually absolutely hilarious, and the good ones were also great (for obvious reasons). I remember not having certain systems and being able to at least admire the games I really wanted to play via the magazine and whatnot.
Well done "VIDEOGAMEDUNKEY" for finally hiring someone who has the mental fortitude to understand the day to day innerworkings of video games at an acceptable level. Give this Dunkey guy a raise won't ya?? Best strand-type reviewer out there.
The implication that this video makes is so on-point. Bad scores usually translate to backlash unless the game is deemed to be demonstrably bad by the community already (like Gollum), whereas great scores will be lauded and people will activate their weird ass "best IGN review in a decade" fetish. This happens every single time, and I hope it doesn't stop. Admittedly, that Xenoblade review was indeed originally super bad.
I believe it's more about the confirmation of bias. These comments expose the way they really think, how they're only looking for someone with a title to confirm their bias. I don't doubt that they were excited when they found a review with a good score and exclaimed out loud "That's what I'm saying!" when it's supposed to be entirely unbiased.
"Finally a reviewer who's unbiased, and by that I mean they agree with my opinion. I also felt like _ was a masterpiece and all I could find were biased haters who have always hated games developed by _. They've literally never said anything good about _'s games ever. How could they even review a _ game when they're not even a true fan of the series?! You deserve more views for your unbiased and fair reviews."
"A critic's power lies in the consistency of their voice." Dunkey genuinely crystallized what I value in someone's opinion 6 years ago when he dropped that.
This video had no mention of donkeykong and yet dunkey still gave it a proper, unbiased, and enthusiastic review. Your channel deserves more recognition, keep it up
The way he leaps off of barrels and flips backwards to face the camera before falling head first dive is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a Kong protagonist.
Didn't expect to see the exaggerated swagger clip in here, 9/10 dunk man. We need more passionate guys like this on the platform. I'm gaving this a gamer review of 9/10
Was drinking some water at work when I heard the “exaggerated swagger of a black teen” line from gamespot and ended up doing an actual spit take on my laptop. Thank you Dunkey.
This is 10/10 the greatest review I have seen about reviewers. If only those guys at those other reviewer review companies had reviewer reviewers like Dunkey.
Great review review. I may not be an expert review review reviewer, but I'm sure any reviewer would benefit from re-viewing this review review often if they wish to get a good anual review.
I had to view this comment more than once to be able to appreciate it fully. Once I re-re-viewed it, everything just clicked into place. 8.9/10 comment, would recommend
Phenomrnal video finally somebody that understands the intricacy of not only video game reviewing, but also the reviewing of video game reviewers and the smart and whitty comments that come with them. At first i wasn't sure if dunkey is up to the task to do an unbiased review while pointing out all the major and minor points, but i was positively surprised by the end. What a rollercoaster of emotions!! Again, just phenomenal! 6/10
Pathetic. They should have gotten an actual Dunkey fan for this comment, not a random commenter who obviously knows NOTHING of the intricacies of his work. TH-cam comments died long ago.
This was a phenomenal review of reviewers, by a phenomenal reviewer! BigMode needs to keep hiring and retaining big-name talent like you, and if they were to get rid of you as a video game critic somehow, I WOULD DIIIIEEEEEE!
I really loved this review of game reviews! I can tell that dunkey really is a very big fan of ign reviews and a man who truly understands the genre! I am glad they got him to review it, I doubt anyone else could have done as good a job as he.
Thank you Walter White for this excellent review of review scores. Such a difference, when a professional like you takes their time to give a fair and balanced assessment.
@@LOLdotEXEThis is the worst reply to a comment I've ever seen. They should get an actual fan of Dunkey's comment section to review this reply. It's obvious you've never seen a Dunkey comment section.
@@spinyslasher6586 Did you even watch through the video's content? You spoil all of the Dunkey comment section lore just to flex your reply writing prowess or whatever. At least give it a higher rating than the original comment, as you do with most of the other mainstream comments. But this? This isn't how you do a reply.
I think a side note that adds to how people react to the more positive reviews is that it’s much easier for a writer to come off as passionate (especially in a relatively short form review) when discussing something they love. As a result, the nines and tens come of as more “human” than the middling and even negative ones
What would be the purpose of watching a review just to hear something praised? Isn't the ENTIRE purpose of a review to save you the time and money of buying a game and not enjoying it? People are imbeciles. If you want something to tell you the game is good, just go watch the trailer.
I wrote music reviews for a website a long time ago, and I hated writing about stuff that I found bland. At least really negative reviews about something I hated can be fun to write.
I like remembering Anton Ego's speech from the movie Ratatouille: "I don't _like_ food, I _love_ it. If I don't love it, I don't swallow." Meaning, critics can also be negative about something _because_ of their passion and knowledge on a subject, not _despite_ it.
The only reviewer I watch is Dunkey, mostly out of convenience, but because of that I now have a good feel for how he approaches games. It’s like he said in a previous critique of reviews, the more you understand your reviewer, the more you get out of a review. If Dunkey says that a turn-based RPG is just ok, or decent, then I can be fairly certain I’ll enjoy that game because I know Dunkey isn’t a huge Turn-based fan. If Dunkey says a first person shooter is ok or decent, then I know I might like it, but not to have high expectations. If Dunkey ever says a mainline Mario game is ok or decent, someone at Nintendo fucked up.
This Reviewer review was top notch, definitely comes from a place of experience. I just wish you would have reviewed the exact games only I have played and said the exact things that I like to hear and nothing else. Overall, 50 zoinks out of 23 Thunderbolts
What Dunkey said a while ago about IGN hit the nail on the head. Every time you watch an IGN review you enter the lottery due to the magnitude of reviewers
All I'm getting from the comments in this video is "Higher score = better review". I guess it's because the comments are from people who've already played the game and thought it was great, then went online to see if other people agreed with them. If the reviewer shared that opinion, then they must be a good reviewer. If the reviewer didn't like the game, then obviously they just don't know anything about games.
"The way he leaps off of the rooftops and flips backwards to face the camera, before falling into a headfirst dive, is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a black teen" I have not laughed that hard in a while
I don't get it, if people already like and love the game why even bother looking for review and complain about the reviewer's opinion in first place tho. Isn't the point of review to give more insights for people who have no idea or haven't played the game? Instead they went into a rabid mode just because they don't hear what they want to hear despite knowing opinion is subjective for each person in first place 😅
@@irvancrocs1753 It's just a bunch of people looking for buyers validation or they're feeling buyers remorse so they either look up the review to see if they made a great choice with the game they just bought or in the other case, they don't like the game, see the reviewer liked it and think the reviewer at IGN doesn't know what he's talking about.
Great job, Dunkey! Honestly, I don't know who else could have done this review, besides you! This gives me a lot of hope for the video, and glad to hear the long development wasn't for nothing! :)
people's obsession with game reviews is so weird. like, gamers seem to consider it an actually moral issue if a game is a point lower or higher than they'd personally rate it. it's nuts.
It’s for that reason that the public won’t ever receive a truly unbiased game review unless they watch someone on YT who seems fairly genuine (similar to Dunkey) Often times gamers feel insecure about their games because of numerous companies having problems within their workplace (Activison, Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc.) which causes them become overly cautious and at times paranoid with their decisions. All I can say is if you like something, then that’s ok. Not every opinion has to be based on someone else’s.

"Your critizizing the game, this is not a proper review" is _definetly_ one of the Top 10 Quotes of all time

"7 is a piss poor score. This game deserves an 8 minimum" is the funniest statement I've seen in a while.
Starfield fanboys in a nutshell
mid games that don't break the mold or try anything new. gotta give it at least an 8/10. you can't criticize it.
"you're critizizing the game, this is not a proper review" this is why the console wars rage on.
@@DioBrando-qr6yeyknow you could just play the game instead of hating on it, it’s really not bad but it could be better ofc
Really puts in perspective how people think that the bad-to-good spectrum is 7-to-10 and any scores below that are a myth.
“Finally, an unbiased review!” is just code for, “Finally, a review that agrees with me!”.
Yuuuup.
"Finally, a review that confirms my biases!"
More like "Finally, a review that agrees with me even though I haven't even played the game myself yet"
Reminds of the Dunkey quote 'You're nitpicking and biased!'.
finally, an unbiased comment 😌

- 7 or lower is a bad review
- 8 and above is a great review
- If you're reviewing Xenoblade, only God can save you
- Never under any circumstances reveal your thoughts about Pokemon, they will find your house
As a xenoblade fan I can deconfirm, god actually won’t be able to save you
But what if the game has 7.01-7.99 score? Is it bad review? Or good one?
@@zluurkeakszit’s just OK

I love the way Dunkey gives his reviews with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen, gives me goosebumps every time.
@@CaptainDoomsdayYou have no idea what you're talking about. Yahtzee Croshaw doesn't optimize a goddamn thing when he's playing a game, with the only exception being if he has to smash through a boring game in just a weekend's time, and even then he'll outright say that that's what he did during the review video. He's consistent, and he's the perfect reviewer because of that. A game reviewer just needs consistency to be used as a tool to determine whether or not you might like a game they're reviewing. A reviewer who has loved every single Legend of Zelda game can't be trusted when they say the new Legend of Zelda game is a 10/10, but since Yahtzee Croshaw tends to shit on all the bad parts of even the video games he loves, him liking the new Legend of Zelda game actually means something.
IGN is useless because most of their reviews are 7-10/10 scores, regardless of how bad the game is seen by the majority of its own players. To summarize this entire reply, Yahtzee doesn't need to have fun while playing a video game, _any_ video game, he just needs to have this same opinion about similar types of games so that when he has an out of place opinion, it stands out.
Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time
Just never give overhyped games less than 8/10 and you will be the goat reviewer of the internet
I find it funny that when they give an 8 they're like awesome review but as soon as you lower it to 7 oh boy you're on the fanboys shit lists lol
Really hits the sweet spot for “good but has some flaws to not make it great”. The reviewer guys have it down to a science
Shhhhhhh
Don’t tell the fanboys of (place game title here) about this, they don’t like opinions
When you got dudes like jez corden crying about how giving Starfield any lower than an 8 is cynical it just shows me people need confirmation bias.

Really enjoying this Dunkey arc based around people not understanding how reviews work
mans been clowning reviewers for years cause we all know dunkey's opinion is what truly matters
Like he did!
Can we really call it an arc when it has been ongoing since he started making reviews?
@@malaria6171not everytime though. His opinion really sucks when it comes to plot heavy RPGs (regular ones, I can't stand JRPGs too, even though he gives them unfair criticism in certain situations). He has short attention span and needs instant gratification for his actions with rare exceptions otherwise the game is instadoodoo according to him. Also he values mechanical gameplay too much over everything else. If there is no gameplay that keeps you on your toes, he is lost. Such gameplay is obviously good quality, but its absence doesnt mean that the game is instantly 2/10
swoosh@@rinkashikachi
People's reactions to game reviews reveal something about humans that's critical to understand.
By default, we perceive intelligence primarily based upon how effectively someone reinforces our worldviews.
Funny enough, this is almost exactly how politics works lol
Unfortunately, when Gaming and Politics mix together, it usually results in the companies outright denying any sort of bias and or personal political views because the public WILL call them out on it.
Granted not everyone thinks the same way, so of course there will always be people who try to defend IGN or any other Gaming Journalist site because they feel the larger majority is “Too Harsh” on these critics. When in reality it only serves to muddy the waters for short period of time and causes no real change anyways.
It’s for that reason the I prefer to keep my personal opinions to myself. I’d rather enjoy something for what it is then base my entire existence on the opinion of someone else….

sorry, too lazy to type the rest
Great review, get a raise
It's really got a little something for everyone.
As a kid in the 90s, I was reading different game magazines. I remember one that could be pretty brutal with its scores, really taking advantage of the entire spectrum. The top grades were so rare that I could afford to buy a lot of the games that got them, and they never disappointed. Really regretted spending my pocket money on a game that looked good but didnt get a top score, and I had to admit they were right after all.
og psm was the best
There was magazines like EGM that had 4 people review the same game. It told you a little bit about the reviewer and what they currently enjoyed the most. Like the review for Turok on the N64 one reviewer gave it an 8 and another gave it a 5.5 with the other two giving it a 7. I feel that is a good way for an entity like IGN to review stuff. I cannot name any IGN reviewer and any IGN reviews are simply passed off as IGN.
@@Gatorade69used to love EGM, especially when they had those mini comics in them with the knockoff pokemon.
Multiple gamers reviewing always helps. Especially with different tastes. I've seen KF have one where someone hated it, someone loved it and someone else was in between then they explained rationale.
@@Gatorade69
@@Gatorade69DUDE EGM was my JAM back in the day! I loved the bad reviews because they were usually absolutely hilarious, and the good ones were also great (for obvious reasons). I remember not having certain systems and being able to at least admire the games I really wanted to play via the magazine and whatnot.
Well done "VIDEOGAMEDUNKEY" for finally hiring someone who has the mental fortitude to understand the day to day innerworkings of video games at an acceptable level. Give this Dunkey guy a raise won't ya?? Best strand-type reviewer out there.
How did I KNOW that "strand-type" was gonna be qouted
Game grades:
1-6 - never use these
7 - total shit
8 - average
9 - great one
10 - made by a huge and well-known developer

@@fstcsvn9/10 is a piss poor score
99% of online criticism of game developers are just the consumer projecting their faults onto them.
@@fstcsvn 9/10?? Such a fitting score! Thank you for staying passionate for the craft, as always!
The implication that this video makes is so on-point. Bad scores usually translate to backlash unless the game is deemed to be demonstrably bad by the community already (like Gollum), whereas great scores will be lauded and people will activate their weird ass "best IGN review in a decade" fetish.
This happens every single time, and I hope it doesn't stop. Admittedly, that Xenoblade review was indeed originally super bad.
I believe it's more about the confirmation of bias. These comments expose the way they really think, how they're only looking for someone with a title to confirm their bias. I don't doubt that they were excited when they found a review with a good score and exclaimed out loud "That's what I'm saying!" when it's supposed to be entirely unbiased.
It's super obnoxious.
its even funnier when its like the only 9/10 review and theyre like "finally an UNBIASED review!"
"Finally a reviewer who's unbiased, and by that I mean they agree with my opinion. I also felt like _ was a masterpiece and all I could find were biased haters who have always hated games developed by _. They've literally never said anything good about _'s games ever. How could they even review a _ game when they're not even a true fan of the series?! You deserve more views for your unbiased and fair reviews."
The opposite happens too: people shitting on high score reviews and praising low ones.
Once again, zero dislikes. Another objective dunkey masterpiece!
Finally someone gives a fair and great review to this amazing video!

I'm just stopping by to say that Videogamedunkey is a genius. This is exactly how people react to reviews. The man is a visionary.
Being a game critic isn’t about reviewing games, it’s about the friends we make along the way 😢
Running a game dev publishing company, AND making these videos. THIS guy is taking over the world 🎉
I think a side note that adds to how people react to the more positive reviews is that it’s much easier for a writer to come off as passionate (especially in a relatively short form review) when discussing something they love. As a result, the nines and tens come of as more “human” than the middling and even negative ones
Well, unless you're Roger Ebert.
We miss you, Rog.
What would be the purpose of watching a review just to hear something praised?
Isn't the ENTIRE purpose of a review to save you the time and money of buying a game and not enjoying it?
People are imbeciles. If you want something to tell you the game is good, just go watch the trailer.
I wrote music reviews for a website a long time ago, and I hated writing about stuff that I found bland. At least really negative reviews about something I hated can be fun to write.
I like remembering Anton Ego's speech from the movie Ratatouille: "I don't _like_ food, I _love_ it. If I don't love it, I don't swallow." Meaning, critics can also be negative about something _because_ of their passion and knowledge on a subject, not _despite_ it.
And then there's Zero Punctuation. Now Yahtzee knows how to passionately tear a game a new one.
The only reviewer I watch is Dunkey, mostly out of convenience, but because of that I now have a good feel for how he approaches games. It’s like he said in a previous critique of reviews, the more you understand your reviewer, the more you get out of a review. If Dunkey says that a turn-based RPG is just ok, or decent, then I can be fairly certain I’ll enjoy that game because I know Dunkey isn’t a huge Turn-based fan. If Dunkey says a first person shooter is ok or decent, then I know I might like it, but not to have high expectations. If Dunkey ever says a mainline Mario game is ok or decent, someone at Nintendo fucked up.
Exactly!
This video really made me FEEL like a good game reviewer

What Dunkey said a while ago about IGN hit the nail on the head. Every time you watch an IGN review you enter the lottery due to the magnitude of reviewers
Reviewing reviewers and reviews is psychotic behavior.
Like literally what is the point of a review where I don’t know the tastes of the person talking.
@ForgiveZharionTranslate this:

All I'm getting from the comments in this video is "Higher score = better review". I guess it's because the comments are from people who've already played the game and thought it was great, then went online to see if other people agreed with them. If the reviewer shared that opinion, then they must be a good reviewer. If the reviewer didn't like the game, then obviously they just don't know anything about games.
i cant tell if this is satire or not and its making me angry
This is a great Reviewer-type experience. Can't wait for more

Absolutely bizarre 🤣🤣
On a serious note, im so glad Dunkey makes these videos. People really do be goofy when they comment about IGN
I don't get it, if people already like and love the game why even bother looking for review and complain about the reviewer's opinion in first place tho.
Isn't the point of review to give more insights for people who have no idea or haven't played the game? Instead they went into a rabid mode just because they don't hear what they want to hear despite knowing opinion is subjective for each person in first place 😅
@@irvancrocs1753 It's just a bunch of people looking for buyers validation or they're feeling buyers remorse so they either look up the review to see if they made a great choice with the game they just bought or in the other case, they don't like the game, see the reviewer liked it and think the reviewer at IGN doesn't know what he's talking about.

Honestly this review of reviewers was top notch and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it, definitely deserve a promotion 👏
people's obsession with game reviews is so weird. like, gamers seem to consider it an actually moral issue if a game is a point lower or higher than they'd personally rate it. it's nuts.
It’s for that reason that the public won’t ever receive a truly unbiased game review unless they watch someone on YT who seems fairly genuine (similar to Dunkey)
Often times gamers feel insecure about their games because of numerous companies having problems within their workplace (Activison, Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc.) which causes them become overly cautious and at times paranoid with their decisions.
All I can say is if you like something, then that’s ok. Not every opinion has to be based on someone else’s.
