I quite dislike IGN’s rating system, because a game’s final score is not an average. So a game’s review might average out to an 8.5 and they’ll give it, say, an 8.2. > [@](#): > > ive seen the artilcle. that is NOT constructive citiscism. Its people writting lies about te game, when it isnt even out. you know it, iknow it… we all know it. its dumb people being dumb and we being fans who have waited so long for a revival are expted not to defend ghostbusters? sorry, but we all agree with Kalonthar and ohers against these jerks. Seems to me like people are getting worked up because the IGN user comments and taking it out on the IGN article. ---

Chrono Trigger is praised for being the greatest RPG of all time and some argue the best game EVER (I’d have to agree with that myself).

Yeah, you REALLY need to play Chrono Trigger. It’s truly a great game and stands the test of time, no doubt. I guess it’s just my fascination with time travel that really pulls me into the game. ---

For me I’ve not paid attention to IGN’s reviews since they gave GTA IV a 10. Is it a great game? Absolutely. It it a 10? Not a chance. I try to use metacritic and read what they have to say on the low end and the high end. ---

No I knew it, I was just joking around hence the 😛 (which should have been capitalized to get the :P) After all those comments on the IGN site, I had to throw in a little joke somewhere to brighten my mood up after reading them. You know, this article makes me want to see the reviews even more, because as said earlier, it’d be great to have nice reviews to kinda stick it to the people that thought this game was going to be a complete failure. ---

You’re absolutely right! it’s already happening… I have yet to see a negative comment in regards to the new cinematic on gametrailers. I believe that really says something considering the gametrailers userbase is not JUST GB fans. I think this game is really going to do better than anyone anticipates. I can’t wait until this game comes out… I’m sure it’s going to be EPIC!! ---

He actually started getting annoyed with me talking about the game so much. The day the cinematic was released i sent it to him and he had a change of heart. I really think this game is going to bring in a lot of new GB fans, and I definitely think it’s shaping up to be GOTY for 09! ---

Ixnay on the GOTYay. I mean we’re all excited that this game has the potential to turn a lot of heads and raise some eybrows but let’s face it, whether it deserves the title or not GOTY will always elude this game because it’s a movie-based game. It will always be GOTY to us though and that’s good enough isn’t it? All this positive feedback on the opening cinematic makes me all the more happy I didn’t watch it! 🆒 ---

I actually saw 2 negative comments on Kotaku. One from a GB fan that thought it was disappointing (which isn’t necessarily too negative) and another one which just said “it looks bad” which doesn’t really go into detail at all so I don’t really take it seriously. Regardless, 2 non-positive comments out of the many all over different sites on the internet, that’s pretty darn good.
