Is anyone surprised that IGN opinion can very easily influenced by without any real justification.

The were 360 fanboys for years, only now have they changed their tune towards equal regard towards the consoles.

Also awarded MW2 death perks as the most innovative gameplay feature of the year.

Well it is an American website and so is Microsoft an American company. Things like review copies, free consoles, gifts, special editions...etc this is a lot easier to get to American journalists when you speak their language.

(Yes, I am implying Microsoft bought their way into this gen and out of the RROD epidemic)

Stop trolling@ If only you could have no bubbles!

MattyG4044d ago

Did you even read the explanation? That isn't their opinion, they haven't even seen it yet. It was just some site designer that put it in as "wishful thinking".

N0S3LFESTEEM4043d ago (Edited 4043d ago )

Anyone even consider that BF4 might just be so awesome you don't even have to play it to know it's the best damn thing since you discovered you don't need a woman to have an orgasm.

venom064044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

if anything, they are the worst CoD fanboy site around.. whenever possible, they plastered something to do with CoD all over the freakin page.....

but from the forum, he kept the mood light with this comment, "We hugged it out, suggested they use loremipsum instead, they sent us a bunch of money, and we changed all our review scores for EA games to a 10 -- because that's how games media works.

Love always,
Peer
IGN "

so it's safe to say that any review score given toward BF4 will be fair.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot751d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250750d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface749d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop750d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno750d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel751d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps750d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888750d ago (Edited 750d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33750d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888750d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH750d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
