Wow, kind of a harsh tag, even if it is a reference to that IGN marketing line.

#100 was way too low for Ice Hockey. And Life Force deserved to be much, much higher. I daresay it's Contra's equal.

I'm a little disappointed that Zelda II just missed the top 20, but considering the other awesome games that got the shaft (see: DQ/DW 3 and 4, Kirby's Adventure), it could have been worse. Having read Matt C.'s comments of lulz over his brother having trouble with the legitimately mega-difficult Ghosts 'n' Goblins and its controls, I can only hope he doesn't have any of those as his complaints against Zelda II, which he has considered flawed, even though he's lenient towards other games of the same era.

Yeah, I know you can get one by saying stupid stuff and I assume the opposite is also true, but I've seen tags that might as well be Facebook status updates. Do you get to a certain point where you can change it yourself or does a mod have to do it? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, I didn't see it in the faq)

I bet half of you bashing IGN are just going by word of mouth. They fuck up pretty bad here and there, but everyone does, I don't get why you guys blow it so out of proportion with them. "3.0? Outrageous, they just don't understand the game! I'm self-important and know more then a major gaming site, listen to me!" is what it seems to come down to.

lucablight · (10-16-2009, 06:47 AM)

IGN lost alot of respect when they gave Shadow hearts a mediocre 5.5

IGN has been on a steady decline for years. Ask the majority of the people who visit their forums. They only visit IGN for the message boards, never the main site.

And I dare you to listen to one of their podcasts. Go on! I dare ya!

Megadragon15 · (10-16-2009, 07:28 AM)

Well personally, I go there for reviews. They are not always spot on, but the summary at the end does a very good job at breaking the game down and I can normally find out what I need to know from the rest of the text. Also, I'm not a big podcast fan.

ZealousD · (10-16-2009, 08:56 AM)

Hobbun, you ignorant slut!

Yagharek · (10-16-2009, 09:04 AM)

Well, ign. What a shock. You would have more luck getting an issue of Edge with 10s for all reviews than you would getting anything worth reading on ign.

Rentahamster · (10-16-2009, 09:18 AM)

Am I in the right place? I just wanted to ridicule and backlash the OP with my fellow gaffers. Feels good to be an elitist poster.

Who wants a tag? Just start a thread with the title, "Ok, I respected the GameFAQs forum....".

I mean yes, there are lot of great games on this list. True classics. But...

No Final Fantasy?
No Dragon Warrior 1 or 2?
No Mega Man 2?
No Super Mario Bros. 3??

WTF

Come on IGN, get with it. Yes, it is subjective. But how the hell could you not have Super Mario Bros. 3 as part of the top 100 NES games??

http://http://www.ign.com/top-100-nes-games/index.html

If THIS caused you to lose respect for IGN then you probably haven't read the rest of their stuff.

I think they get grade schoolers to write their content. A strange business model but definitely not worthy of respect.

That was my 1st thought. I am not a NES expert as I was born at the same time as the NES but I remember and played Ice Hockey and no way there are 99 games above it.

And the complete list is up now.

You don't ask for a tag, that's a very bad idea.

Anyway, SMB 3 at No:1, OP not only completely destroyed but IGN struck the killer blow.

Also, SMB 3 is the best Mario game ever, also the best NES game, I will not argue with IGN here.

Joseph Merrick · (10-16-2009, 10:42 PM)

well he was right about one game wasn't he, dragon warrior 2 wasn't on the list ?

yeah, you're just not a nes expert. all the 99 games above are better than it. and there are even more not on that list. ice hockey is still a great game. nes (y)

McBacon · (10-16-2009, 10:48 PM)

I don't want to shit all over IGN, but they really do have some poor writers over there. I'm not just talking about the "clicking on pretty much anything in this game results in an epic LOL" crap, but every review is perfunctory, utilitarian pap. Sometimes up to five pages of dull description and listless criticism, all with a restrictive vocabulary.

I know IGN's core audience isn't exactly the same as Gamasutra or EDGE, but does that mean they should be subjected to this garbage? And I know they'll also just look at the score and then argue on forums, but whatever.

This is just the US guys. Some of the UK and Australian writers are pretty good.
