IGN Review Scores For Racing Games Make NO Sense

- IGN is a major player in the game review scene. Despite that, they often fall under scrutiny by the gaming community for their review scores. How did IGN rate various racing games? We are taking a look at their very own Top 100 ranking of racing games.

List of red flags:
Narcissism
Doesn’t like my friends
Distrustfulness
Takes IGN as gospel
So its fine if im a nazi
Also doesn't think that the Golf is better.
@@CyanRooper
And if they deny that Yugo is better. RUN AWAY
anyone who uses an IGN score or review to recommend or not recommend a game is an immediate red flag and you should call the psych ward on them for their own safety.
1: sure 2: maybe you got shit friends 3: Refer to #1 4: IGN does not even think their word is true
I think they backed themselves into a corner with forza especially. The games kept being 'more' so they got higher and higher scores almost out of obligation, irrelevant to whether they actually got better.
They fh5 10 meanwhilenit doesn't deserve 10 out of 10. its for me is 8. forza horizon 4 is 9.5 and better gane than fh5.
@@bigsmoke5814 fh3 is a 10 fh4 is 7 and fh5 is 6.5
All of them are extremely overrated except for the first one, which is underrated. People like to pretend like their first FH is the best one but honestly, if it wasn't FH1 then its the same game as all the rest. I own and have played all of them. If you've played FH5 you've played FH2 because it's the same game but with less features and a much more annoying open world experience. If they made a FH that included every previous map there would be no reason to play any FH 2-5.
@@cjskater2006 yeah i heard lot of people even youtubers.saying that the first fh is so much better than what we have now.
I feel like the game hasn't gotten better, just bigger. they do however keep giving FIFA the same score, despite it having the same thing to it
Imagine listening to IGN
Luke Reilly though😢
Imagine if someone in this world does in the past.
I Guess Not (geddit?)
Even if you don’t, thousands of people unfortunately do. And that can be deadly for smaller studios.
or any other major reviewers...
Just judge the games yourself
"Too much racing"
Score 7,8
IGN moment
the crew 7.8 "map too small"
In defense of F355 there was almost nothing really like it. And the arcade cabinet was a a full sim with FFB.
F355 is a seriously underrated game. It's super fun, not many racing games in the arcade actually tried some simulation stuff aside from the odd... you know. Hard Drivin'. Blegh.
F355 Challenge had a generous amount of tracks for a Dreamcast racing game (eleven, albeit one was just a "short" version of Suzuka obviously using a different configuration of the same map as the full Suzuka and the Fiorano test circuit was time-trial only). It's still one of my favourite racing games from the "turn of the millennium" era. Granted, it only had one car but when that car is a Ferrari, a game only having one car isn't so bad (and that's one more Ferrari than Gran Turismo had up until the PS3).
I adore the F355 arcade cabinet, so much fun
I am old enough to be slightly offended by his lack of knowledge about 355 Challenge. This was THE Racing Sim. We drove for hours to get to an arcade hall that had the good 355 cabinet with 3 screens. Then the comments about Micro Machines on Gameboy. Dustin has no conception of what that era was like. Which is fair because how would he, he wasn't there.
"Need for Speed Prostreet just has a 7"
You have to remember that Prostreet received mixed reviews when it came out unlike the previous games. Some liked it while others didn't. The Xbox 360 version in particular was hated because it had microtransactions (yes, microtransactions in 2007) where you could buy cars and upgrades using Microsoft Points (look them up).
I remember, also remember the Wii version being better
@Hamisxa You might be looking through rose-tinted glasses
If only we could have kept up that mindset...
Well, I mean I did, not just microtransactions, but any game that even includes them! But the general public didn't. Only game I even own with microtransactions is GTA V, but I don't actually play it, it just came with my PS3.
I believe Undercover had microtransactions too
Not having a single GRID game on this list is criminal
Which one would you like to see on it? Personally the original and the sequel were quite nice, like around 8ish. Top 100 is maybe a bit much
Ah yes Grid 2
The first GRID was hated when it came out tho and the rest of them were terrible
I think for a finale to this series Dustin should make his own top 100 racing games of all time
My feeling has always been 'don't take review publications seriously'.
Its hard to trust sources when it comes from multiple members who share differing opinions, but still treat it as if its the website as a whole. Thus resulting in many.. *questionable* review scores.
*The only source you should trust is your own.*
Can't spell Ignorant without IGN after all
My favorite saying
Clever
I first saw this in the comments of their TDU2 review back when that game was new. I don't remember what they scored TDU2, but they didn't like it at all.
1:06:48 - I wholeheartedly agree with this. Yearly games just don't cut it anymore. Whether or not it'll make just as much money as yearly games, I don't really have a concrete answer. The gaming industry should at least try this again.
Charge $100 and update the game for two more seasons...
OutRun 2 (or 2006 Coast 2 Coast) seems like the biggest omission to me, unless we're splitting hairs about what constitutes a "racing" game since the main mode was just racing against the clock (however several games that were on the list including Crazy Taxi were also "race against the clock" kind of games).
OutRun 2 is a hugely slep on game. I loved it
The reason why there used to be so many rally games back in the day is because rally as a sport used to be immensely popular during the 80s and 90s thanks to Group B and Group A regulations respectively. The popularity of rally racing died out in the 2000s as a result of Sebastien Loeb's insane dominance during that time period. He won the championship 9 times. And people complain about Hamilton and Verstappen's dominance in Formula 1.
Not to give any demerit for Sebastien Loeb or anything. The guy is an absolute beast of a driver. Funny how the WRC from the 2000s and 2010s were dominated by two frenchman with name Sebastien.
But I honestly don't think this was the main cause of rally racing games stopped from being popular. the DiRT series was still around on the late 2000s.
@@b.1570 The FIA denied Loeb a Superlicence because he would have demolished most F1 drivers and he would have been a championship contender in F1 from the get-go. His most recent win was last year at the Monte Carlo rally near the age of 50.
His dominance was terrible but I have immense respect for the man and I think he's one of the best drivers period.
@@b.1570 Rally games continued to be made moreso due to the popularity of things like the Gymkhana videos and other extreme sports being popular on TH-cam.
@@CyanRooperthey denied him a super license because he had basically no single-seater experience whatsoever aside from a few test days he did with Red Bull. He probably would’ve done well, sure, but so would’ve Valentino Rossi, and he also had only done a few private tests with Ferrari and was still denied one.
We are missing :
- GT4
- GT1
- Racedriver Grid (best game ever)
- Grid 2
- NFS Carbon
- NFS Pro Street
- Mario Kart Wii
- Dirt 3
- Nascar Thunder 2004
- Nascar 14
- Driver San Francisco
and probably more that i forgot.
burnout paradise?
FH1
Excepting the GT franchise the rest of those games had mixed reviews when they came out. Grid 1 and 2 were seen as terrible, Carbon and ProStreet got a lot of hate, the NASCAR games were crappy compared to all the previous ones made by Papyrus, DiRT 3 wasn't close to any Colin McRae, Driver was nice tho, and MarioKart Wii wasn't even taken seriously.
That Rick and Morty joke almost went over my head until I looked at the author of the review lol
Not a single Trackmania games....
What a shame
Man this editing is just on point. You're the Real Deal. Keep it up champ
34:44 It's not a prototype, it's a pre-production video, a concept so to speak, which outlines the developer's plan and vision for the project. The prototype of the second Blur has already been leaked on the net, and it looks different. I once did a review of the whole Blur series, and focused on the sequel. You should watch it, it has English subtitles.
Beetle Adventure Racing is one of my faves. please stream it. tracks are very unique with lots of side paths. Please stream it!
0:03 it’s so surreal seeing the track mod I made for Trial Mountain on Dustin’s intro WTF?
Ayyy, great work on that track. The environment is stunning. Also, Autumn Ring and Midfield 👌
@@JamVarthat’s awesome thank youu I’m curious how you got the AI to sit still like that on the track?
@@PieZello That's actually a track day session with "walking_out" from Assetto Corsa's config folder enabled so I can jump from car to car in the pits and set them up myself.
What's important to realize is that games like Dirt Track Racing were rated years ago. So while an 8.7 seems high for a game such as that, when it was released in 99 it likely was quite a quality release.
Ferrari F355 has a console and a arcade cabinet the cabinet is actually crazy it’s designed with 3 screen setup in a first person pov
I've seen that cabinet running before, looks really cool.
Welcome back dustin eden. Your viewpoints on racing games as whole has more weight, authenticity and accuracy than i ever did listening to. Half of IGns Ratings/review
I'd like to see Edens personal top 100 list
YES
The first 15 places would be filled with Gran Turismo, Burnout, Midnight Club, Need for Speed and Forza games respectively. Beyond that would probably be stuff like Test Drive Unlimited, Grid, Blur, Split Second, Driveclub, Driver etc.
@CyanRooper everything in it's right place
IGN can never be trusted, also now you know we have to do what IGN consider to be great racing games
Fun fact on Project Cars 2, there was an overclocking bug on PC1 where if you were running your CPU OC'd, then you'd be faster than the genuine aliens of the game. This was eventually patched (as you'd expect) and that was the end of it (or so we thought). Then along comes PC2 and somehow of all bugs to carry over to PC2, the OC bug was back, but only for AMD processors. I found this out by accident half a year after PC2 had launched (that's just when I got it as a gift and wild that the bug still persisted) as I was just doing random online lobbies to get accustomed to more cars and was immediately framed as a hacker because a bug from PC1 that was patched, had somehow made its way back into PC2 and had to be patched a second time over.
Real racing 2 was my game in middle/highschool, I played that game for hours and for a mobile game, it felt fantastic
The 3rd one is also really great in handling, gameplay graphics and overall content, but i guess great cannot be written without EA...
The progression was just not good, maybe better than ehatever the fuck was NFS No Limits, but it was still essentially a free-to-*pay* mobile game with EA behind most of the monetizing decisions
20:31 The iPod you're most likely talking about is a 5th Gen Nano, that's the one with the most features. If you still have that iPod though, i would put it far away from any of your drawers... Because nowadays, ESPECIALLY on the 5th Gen, the batteries have a tendency to explode.
Mario Kart 64 being 110th is a crime. ALSO the Stuntman games are super fun!
Mario Kart 64's score shows something is definitely wrong with IGN.
Lol it's actually crazy
Never forget when TXR Zero got around an 8 but every subsequent Shutokou/Kaido game got around a 6 or less despite being generally decent (Kaido Battle 3/TXR Drift 2 notably was hit with a 4 despite probably holding up the best of any of Genki's racers imo).
What you need to understand is this is reviewed by different people.
Now, these people should have some gaming history notions, to better put into context the games.
Most probably that guy played FH5 as his first racing game and he said wow, this is awesome, for an below average game.
Where the fuck is Driver SF. Where is TDU. Where is the GrandPrix series, best F1 sim series ever.
I won t expect people knowing NFS 2, or Stunt.
Where is Driveclub, ffs.
missing games in my opinion:
-MotorStorm Pacific Rift (probably the best in the series although i prefer apocalypse personally but thinking that PR came out way back in 2008.. just wow)
-Driver San Francisco, a masterpiece of a game
-Test Drive Unlimited 1&2, need to explain?
-Split Second, not a fan of the game, but I still understand the importance of the game
-Driveclub, every time i play driveclub i can feel the love and the passion of all the developers dedicated into the game...sony i hate you
-Dirt 3, dirt 2 is still the goat, it doesn't have the same character as the previous one, but they have come very close, I really like the game
-Baja edge of control, a weird one yes, I never played such a unique game, it's not a 10/10 game, but I recommend to try it for anyone who wants a completely new experience!
-NFS MW2 BETA, I close the comment with this last game, few will understand what I mean...
"driver is suspected to be the Rockport Fugitive, driver Remains Most Wanted"
do i need to say anything else?
The Most Wanted 2 beta doesn't really count as a "game" as it's just a beta and not the actual game that we got (still agree with you though that the beta is what we should've gotten).
DriveClub still has Better Visuals than GT7 or FM8, and the Gameplay and Control is Awesome
Even with "Hard Control" and A SimRacing Wheel, it still XTREME POTENTIAL for a Simulation game
@@FurryestX yea thats the point
At 21:26 you can see a thumbnail for Motorstorm PR. Not sure why Wipeout HD used that thumbnail.
1:03:26 As a rocket league player, even I don't understand why he's in the top 18 on this list.
That intro is so terrifying, amazing 🗿
My Real Racing 3 profile got glitched when I downloaded the app when they launched, I ended up getting infinite currency in that game and didn't need to spend on anything ever lmaoo
I expected this list to be bad, but holy shit. The fact that TDU 1 & 2 are not on this list is criminal. Also not a single GRID game.
Imagine listening to IGN when it comes to games, or anything.
LONG OPINION THREAD AS I WATCH THE VIDEO -
If you play fighting games you know just how useless mainstream ratings are when it comes to genres that aren't the typical action, adventure or RPG.
Noticing chat and a lot of comments not getting that a lot of these reviews were done on RELEASE DAY, so anyone complaining "HOW CAN OLD JANK GAME HAVE HIGHER SCORE THAN NEW GAME?" is stupid. They also take into account consoles, which is why games on stuff like GBA or shitty handhelds can get high scores just as much as something on modern systems. Literally the first game of this type and everyone in chat is already going "RATED HIGHER THAN MIDNIGHT CLUB LA?!!!!!" Yes, because it takes into account release date and platform.
YES, absolutely play Stuntman. That game was one of my childhood favourites. It is absolutely *brutally* difficult, though. It's legit one of the hardest driving games ever made in terms of completing it.
"THIS WAS 1989, THERE WAS NOTHING TO COMPARE IT TO" Racing games did exist before the fucking PS2, Eden, mate. Like there are classics from the mid 80s to early 90s that still stomp the majority of racing games being made today lmao.
"You can differentiate between racing and driving games" Agreed, this was pretty much coined by Yu Suzuki when making the original OutRun in 1986. He didn't want people to think of it as a racing game but a driving experience.
F355 Challenge is a really fun game, the reason it seems so "bare-bones" is that it's an arcade port. The arcade release actually had a "deluxe" cabinet with three screens that I have gotten to play a handful of times. It was very ambitious to release a sim racer, but as an arcade machine. I really don't care if a game only has one car and a few tracks, to be honest, because I'll play Daytona USA or F355 a thousand times each but not even touch some modern racing games more than once. It's all about the gameplay and how fun it is to replay.
Eden confirmed to seriously not know any racing game from before, like, 2005.
BLUR STANS RISE UP
"Micro Machines 1 and 2 for Game Boy Color" Hey, remember what I said about console being taken into account in the score?
"We haven't had a single Forza game yet, only DLCs. No Horizon or Motorsport." I haven't looked but I'm calling it now that all the mainline Forza games are just going to smother the top 20 and make the list entirely pointless.
Wave Race: Blue Storm is a FANTASTIC game. I highly recommend it. One of the only games I gave a damn about when I owned a GameCube.
"Where did the F-Zero franchise go?" I dunno, Nintendo just randomly decided they didn't want to make games that could convince me to buy their consoles anymore. Seriously my favourite Nintendo franchise and they just don't care because they've got 50 Mario, Zelda and Kirby games to make. And maybe a Metroid if you're a good boy this year.
I'm surprised Daytona USA 2001 is on here and not the original. Even though the original was initially released in 1993 it still handles a lot better than 2001. Doesn't matter to me how shiny you make the visuals or if you add new content, if one simply plays better, that's the better game.
Ridge Racer Type 4 is Gran Turismo 4's biggest competitor for "greatest PS exclusive racing game" for me. Super good to see it so high.
Hell yeah PGR2. I like PGR4 more but PGR2 was so unique and special.
FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA
Crazy Taxi is straight GOATed, I played it for hundreds of hours. I at one point had a top 10 score on the Xbox 360 leaderboards in it, before all the hacked $999,999.99 scores came in.
FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA
Checkered Flag for Atari Lynx, greatest game of all time. God, I'm surprised they didn't put the Atari Jaguar version too. It's just as great! (Mediocre)
POST LIST COMMENTS:
Somehow these lists keep fucking sleeping on Outrun 2/Outrun 2006, literally a top 10 racing game of all time. There's also no Sega Rally or Sega Rally 2, two other legendary hits. However, the biggest exclusion... is that GRAN TURISMO 4 is not on this list. But it got a 9.5! They literally just randomly chose games and ignored higher rated ones! So this top 100 list isn't even close to correct!
A lot of racing games from the 80s and 90s aren't appreciated as much these days because you need to have the proper hardware those games were designed for to enjoy them (arcade cabinet games or sim racing games like Grand Prix Legends, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series etc).
Edit: I'm the same age as Edna so I don't know that much about all of the racing games from that time period but I can acknowledge that they were better than they look and were extremely influential.
I agree that the 80's and the 90's were so underappreciated. Neither of both ToCA Touring Cars games are on the list. No Test Drive 1 or Newman/Haas IndyCar Racing, no OutRun games, Sega Rally, so many games are missing
TDU2 being rated 5.5 actually kind of shocked me
Nah, it makes sense, TDU2 at release was an unplayable, buggy mess with terrible physics, non-functioning online and awful, grindy progression. It took a decade of work, first by the devs, then by modders to fix the game, add missing content and get it to where it's at right now, and nothing can 100% fix the physics or the progression (IMO TDU1 is still a much better game, if only it wasn't so constrained by technology of the time)
All of the people that praise TDU 2 are the ones who played the game after installing a metric fuck ton of mods to make the game enjoyable.
@@crispybottom This is something I feel a lot of people have forgotten about. As someone who also played the game at launch, it was a disaster. The fixes from both the devs and later the modders, made it a much more enjoyable experience.. even if I think TDU1 aswell was also better.
because it isn't good no matter how much revionism is being done by TDU SC fanboys
Deserved score for being such a bad sequel.
I think the only place where you can really find a realistic score for games in general is steam, because there you'll find people who know the genre, played the game to its full potential and compare it to the other experiences with other games of the same type. obviously there you'll not be able to find playstation exclusives or older games that did not get released on steam, but for the games that you can find you'll have the most realistic rating.
Steam also has some of the funniest ratings
"The people who make Overwatch porn put in more effort than the people who made Overwatch 2" - Chad Steam reviewer
Stuntman is super fun! I havent played it since I was a little kid but I used to spend hours in the sandbox mode (or whatever its called) you can use whatever vehicle and make crazy setups like ramps and what not
I think Richard Burns Rally deserves a spot. It’s very unknown compared to most on the list but it’s to this day pretty much the best rally sim ever made and has a huge modding community. It’s difficult af for me and it’s a bitch to set up but I don’t think that you can get much better than RBR in terms of rally simulation.
With the RallySimFans installer it's extremely easy to set up. It's wild how much better the modern modded version is than the original though.
I'd love to see a playthrough of both Stuntman and Stuntman Ignition! Both are such unique games that deserve a look at.
A round of applause for our saviour - Checkered Flag!
👏
Micro Machine's review was for the Game Boy Color version of the game like you saw the gameplay of, but Mickey's Speedway's review was also for the Game Boy Color, not for the N64 version :P
Don't play pgr1 on xbox 360. It suffers from slow down compare to original xbox hardware
22:41 vehicular manslaughter
33:36 - didn't Blur kinda market itself like a "Mario Kart for big boys"? I mean, the TV spots kinda did that at least.
Playing Blur in a LAN party is crazy fun
Highly recommend if theres a chance to do it
It is mad fun, I used to do that a lot.
General rule of thumb for IGN is if it is a mainstream franchise release the game immediately gets 7 points and from then on any and all negatives don't count towards the tally
CRASH TEAM RACING WAS INSANELY REPLAYABLE, unironically my all-time favorite video game
Dustin Eden ur my fav gran turismo 4 TH-cam, I used to watch ur gt4 vids and saying that I want a ps2 with gt4 so badly, and thanks to u they gifted me a ps2 and gran turismo 4 [PAL] in my bday,
Eden if ur reading this remember that, ur thr best gran turismo 4 TH-camr in the world and have a good day
Edit: he hasnt Still readed comment :(
Missed an “8.8” score:
Not sure why NO ONE mentions a certain game that was given away with a few hundred thousand xbox consoles. Sega GT 2002 was not epically exciting but it introduced a TON of Xbox kids to simulation racing. It included over 100 cars and not all were standard: see the 1978 Dome Zero… I don’t need it to be included in these lists; I just want to know why it isn’t included while every single lesser game is. Is it too much of a GT knockoff? All I know is that without a free copy of Sega GT 2002 at an impressionable time in my friends’ and my childhood, we might not have become car enthusiasts.
I'm always a big Sega GT 2002 defender. I feel the only major gripe behind it is a small amount of tracks, but I still played it a ton as a kid.
IGN also gave Driver2 5/10, ridiculous.
The "Behind the Curtin" of this is simple.
"Talk bad about company. Company doesn't give you early access to review the game. And you lose out to competitors."
Bruh why did i think the intro was just an intro from one of the need for speeds i didnt play?
This list is already criminal but the fact that some games are not included in the list that should definitely be in the top 100 in the list (as of you making this video) is just unbelievable, here are some of them: (I checked them just now and it has been on the list and idk why it didn’t appeared in yours when you checked them out lol)
- Gran Turismo 4 (9.5)
- Gran Turismo 1 (9.5)
- Forza Motorsport (9.5)
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (9.3)
- Forza Horizon 2 (9.0)
- Forza Horizon (9.0)
- Need For Speed Most Wanted (2012) (9.0)
- Hot Wheels Unleashed (9.0)
- Inertial Drift (9.0)
- F1 2012 (9.0)
- Mario Kart 7 (9.0)
Also, The Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 in the Top 100 list was actually the mobile game version. They have the audacity to give the console version an 8/10 lol
so dirt 2 and racedriver grid just don't exist 💀
Playing Horizon 5 for me by this point is like CBT- constant pain, but every picosecond now and then I feel something. Shoutout to them recycling models from Horizon 3, removing car modifications from Horizon 3 (Lancia Delta S4 is supposed to be twin-charged, is only turbocharged in 4 and 5), using similar sound effects between cars from the same company (Lancia Integrale and S4 sound share sounds) AND keeping cars out from the game that were promised at launch (Lancia Stratos and its 'immersive soundscape').
If you could tell I'm a stickler to Lancia cars, and Horizon constantly butchers it.
My favorite super(/arguably hyper) car is the Saleen S7, so you could imagine how much of a turn off the new Motorsport game's trailer was, when they showed that car, and it STILL has the same model from Motorsport 2. A game from 2007...
I only played FH5 up to the part where you get to drive the parade float, because that was pretty much the only feature interesting enough to make me play it lol
Rocket League is a griefing and hate crime simulator
Some levels of stuntman don't work on emulator sadly :(
I vividly remember “stuntman” as being the first of two games ever that actually made me so mad that I broke a controller. The other was “Tourist Trophy” Lmao
47:50 if u want try some old classic rally games i recomend so much the wrc evolved and the others on the ps2 developed by Evolution Studios (the motorstorm and driveclub developer)
I think WRC 4 was the peak. They had some new features in evolved but mostly WRC 4 stages but shorter. Atleast that's how I remember them after all these years. WRC 4 stages felt really long
@@Tumppiasd i loved that game
Also Xpand Rally is a an ABSOLUTELY FORGOTTEN GEM
Son las 1:45 am donde vivo y Dustin cree que me veré un video de 1 hora y media? Por supuesto que si.
Hey I’ve got that Heat board game, that shit is actually super fun. They basically turned 1960s Formula 1 into a tabletop game.
CHECKERED FLAG WAS SOMETHING HUGE IN THE RACING GENERE
Colin McRea Rally 2.0 for the GBA might not look like much, but it had one of, if not the best physics engines in a GBA racing game!
IGN is like the entire gta online IGN crew they cant agree on anything
If u think the crew 2 is better than horizon 5 ur on drugs the crew 2 is freaking garbage now thats a game nobody plays
Even The Crew 1 is LEAGUES better than Crew 2, yeah physics feel like running on Ice but still better
@@FurryestX The physics are only ice if you're in the actual ice area up north (the most fun part of the map).
45:40 listen man I know V-Rally 4 ain’t going anyone any favors but that’s a little harsh
I don't know if you are aware but people complain about sand because it kills all your speed if you go off track, I agree it's a pointless criticism but I just wanted to point it out
I’m glad Dustin likes Driver San Francisco, I played that a lot back in the day
Where is gt4?
58:11 I think the original Project Cars was really good about this, with you working your way up just like in real life motorsport. You start the campaign in go-karts and your goal is to end up in endurance prototypes
Nothing like coming home to an eden video lol!
I'm hella looking forward to seeing a video on Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions if that was the plan
So the man was born in Germany in Neinty Nein?
Not surprised Porsche Unleashed got a bit nuked on the review scores.
Back when it came out, it was... crash central and unplayable.
Both due to game bugs and bugs in the operating system, so I can totally get the low score for that, at the time.
A friend said he liked the new mw more cause he hates the music (I love the music)
the intro deserves an Oscar award.
23:10 I don't blame ign for that. Remember, they reviewed it before it was released. Ergo before the money grabbing things were patched in
Can't spell ignorant without IGN.
22:39 Is that a Jojo Reference!?!?
No TDU in top 100 is rigged 💀
U got a faceburn,Eden?
What's funnier is that IGN gave FH5 a game of the year award 😂
I really wish Stuntman was more popular, glad some mad lad is making Stuntman inspired scenarios in BeamNG
As a original GT5 player i like this
One thing that's important to remember is that different games are ranked on different scales.
For example, an 8.5 out of 10 GBA game isn't necessarily better than an 8 out of 10 PS3 game.
Its 8.5/10 as a GBA game and not just as a game in general.
I'd give Top Gear Rally on the GBA an 8 out of 10 and Gran Turismo 3 an 8 out of 10, but that doesn't mean I think they're equal. Its just that they often try to incorporate system limitations into it.
I love your longer videos!
Stuntman is a great fun game if you don't take it serious and don't mind replaying things to get them right and look cool 😄
midtown madness is crazyyyy that was my childhood
9/10 missed Big Mutha Truckers 2
Horizon 5 still has loads of players. But as someone with 800+h in it and owning every car, mostly doing online racing, I do not understand why Metacritic, IGN etc rate this game so high.
FH5 was a mess for 2-3 months after release. And there is barely anything to do in the open world. If you dont do PvP, its a super boring game imo. And even as someone who plays it PvP, I'd give it a 8/10 now. It was a 6/10 at release.
And the 8/10 is very generous, due to there being no competition in open world racing really at the moment.
18:13 how dare you skip that. that game is my entire childhood, man.
Splashdown and the sequel Rides Gone Wild slaps hard brother
28:50 Always thought that the 2D asphalts were more fun back then, the 3D ones didn't really hit a nice point until 5 or 6 I think, the first one on a smartphone.
48:03 should've gone to specsavers, thats a circle dude
IGN: the paid actors of reviews
it's hilarious seeing how badly written some of their reviews are and some of them are 100% paid false advertisements.
Also, they are so dumb that have (multiple times) stolen clips and whole videos from small yt creators without giving them any credit and some of those clips still had the original watermark of the creator (i'm referring to IGN Brazil stealing some Far Cry 5 stealth montage and a Mortal Kombat funny deepfake video which, unsurprisingly, got taken down by themselves and they still deny what happened 2/3 years from when it happened) and one of these creators tried to take them to court but got slapped in the face with a "deal with it" from their lawyers.
They weren't wrong to put Real Racing up so high. You gotta remember that they review for the time and the platform, not to compare against other games. Seems people are mad how these games compare to each other but they have never reviewed that way.
Shift mobile above console and every PGR except for 3 is on the list? Whoever IGN's reviewers are, they clearly can't be trusted.
