How this site has so many followers is beyond me and beyond everything. IGN published an article today that will make you wonder, are these guys nuts?And that article is this one: Top Ten Biggest Gaming Disappointments of 2010

I'm just going to focus on the #1 disappointment to not make my post too long, the number one was FFXIII. I know I hated FFXIII with a passion but that's not the point here, the point is that IGN can't make up their minds. Just read what they say about FFXIII and why it was a dissappointment:

IGN: "Okay. Final Fantasy XIII is, without question, the biggest gaming disappointment of 2010. Square Enix promised fans so much and under-delivered in every area, apart from utterly gorgeous raw presentation values. It's true – XIII is pure spectacle, but the gameplay is so vanilla, linear and unmoving that we really wonder how the design process made it as far as it did without anyone raising some warning flags. Being merely 'okay' isn't good enough for the Final Fantasy series. These games have a heritage and pedigree to maintain, and thirteen games in, this instalment indeed proved unlucky."


So yeah, according to them FFXIII sucked but it was 'okay'? Well I just don't know... Lets take a look at their review of the game; OMG an 8.9/10, Editor's Choice, nice. :roll:

Soooooo what do you guys think about this? How can a game they scored that high with an Editor's Choice award can be the disappointment of the year to them? If an 8.9 is a bad score wait until you see who was the #2 disappointment of the year... :lol:

:lol: Nice. I new you were going to bring that up. I've never been a fan of that site. There rating scale seems to be 7.5-10, instead of 1-10. So, FF13 sucks, yet it is okay, yet again it is better than Gran Turismo 5? Hmmm.

So it's okay to compare two reviews of games in different genres by different reviewers? Hmm, indeed.

I don't care how many people have mentioned that conspiracy theory onaboard filled with hoards of irrational fanboys. That doesn't make it any more legitimate. That conspiracy theory sounds like something out of some sort of cartoonish reality. It's WAY more likely that they simply thought those games were*gasp*8.5s. You explanation is so convoluted in comparison.

Been seeing quite a few of these conspiracy theories lately. Very odd, yet very delicious. :P
