This is why nobody takes IGN seriously anymore.

I know its a meme but you should have compared the D4 review since it is the same reviewer, same score of 9, and the snippet of "near perfect endgame"
who cares about ign or any "game journalist" ? watch the trailer watch gameplay footage make up your mind end of story.
ign is just a 7/10 joke at this point
IGN been a joke for decades lmao

I mean... you're -expecting- PoE 2 to be great from what you've seen, but do you actually KNOW it yet?
No.
Don't get me wrong, I'm just as hyped as everyone else for PoE 2 and I'm spam-clicking the login button right now, but still...
We haven't played the game yet.
I mean, reviews are just opinion pieces. The only opinion that matters is your own.
IGN is a joke, but 8 is a good score for an early access game
2 different people have different opinions on video games.
Dude you haven't even played the game yet for yourself. calm down.
My guy you are acting like an 8/10 is a terrible score lol it's not that's a pretty good score actually every game that gets released I see this same exact post and someone upset because their favorite game didn't get a perfect 10/10 score.
also don't you guys straight up say all the time ratings don't matter? so why does it matter all of a sudden? simply put if you think the game is good that's all that matters.

This is so fkn petty lmao. You don't need IGN to validate your game preferences.
Giving a game that’s in early access a score just doesn’t seem right, regardless of the grade
Yeah, yeah, we get it. You're watching Asmongold.
Lol that's actually an amazing juxtaposition.
gamers when people have different opinions
it's absolutely WILD that two different humans have different opinions about two different things
(Also 8 is a good score for an EA product in its very first patch)
Different reviews from different people for games in different genres. Outrageous, video game opinions are subjective unless I disagree with a reviewer.
People should never take game reviewers like IGN serious because they HAVE to give decent pandered ratings otherwise game companies won't allow them early access to games anymore. IDK how people haven't figured this out yet. On top of that most of the reviewers making the articles only care about the pretty colors / graphics now. They fall short of exploring deep lore in games, completion runs, testing game bugs etc.
It's almost as if there are a variety of different games and genres for different people.

Genuine question, have you played either of those games? lol
This is why people don't take PoE players seriously.
(No I don't even own Dragon Age, you people are just ridiculous)
Do you think all reviews are done by one single person?
Please consider not getting bent out of shape about reviews for early access games you haven't even played yet.
So a 8 is bad now?
Because they have a different opinion than you? Please take a hard look in the mirror drone.
Two different people can have different opinions on things
-
Different reviewers.
-
Early access vs. full launch.
-
One is a hardcore ARPG for enthusiasts, the other is good for casuals and has a good story. Not surprising a mainstream outlet likes the latter more.

I don't understand. 8 and 9 are pretty good numbers.
After a few hours of playing, I'd say an 8 is about right.
How are you mad about a 8/10? The Authors aren't even the same.
why yall get so triggered when something is not done like you want LOL
These reviews are completely subjective and usually written by folks who only review games for a living. If you're somebody that just hops in-between games of vastly different genre and approach, you will break them down to their forefront presentation alone. Which is exactly what's happening here.
Also, sidenote. I've heard really good things from Dragon Age from everyone who actually enjoy Dragon Age. Its personally not my speed but there are like a plethora of crazy reviews you could have put here instead of it. Also both of these reviews are from different people.
Ah, the eternal battle of scores! Path of Exile 2 getting an 8/10 and Dragon Age: Veilguard nabbing a 9/10 on IGN. let’s unpack this mystery, shall we? Now, before you dive into an angry Reddit post, remember: reviews are opinions, not gospel. I mean, if reviews were objective, we’d all agree on pineapple pizza, and that’s just not the case.
Sure, some folks seem to confuse subjective with objective, like when they argue their favorite color is the “best” or that the sun should be a little more punctual. The truth is, reviews are written by people… real people, with preferences, biases, and (let’s be honest) an unhealthy amount of coffee in their systems. An 8/10 from IGN is fantastic. especially for an early access game like POE 2. They’re still refining things, tweaking that endgame balance, and figuring out how to make you want to punch your screen just a little less. But hey, an 8 is still great!
And let’s talk about Dragon Age: Veilguard for a second. A 9/10? Sure, it’s probably polished, with a few dragons to slay and some morally gray decisions to make. But remember, the 9 reflects the reviewer’s take on it, not a universal truth. Some people would give Dragon Age a 10/10, while others are busy sobbing over the POE skill tree.
In the end, don’t just latch onto one reviewer’s opinion. Seek multiple sources, digest those takes like a fine wine, and then decide for yourself whether to rage against the rating or happily play it. After all, your gaming experience isn’t going to be dictated by a number. Unless it’s the number of hours you spend in POE 2’s infinite grind, then, sure, let’s talk about that. Also keep in mind POE 2 will eventually be free :)
Also i subjectively like pineapple on my pizza
I haven’t play POE but I’m excited to, but the hate Veilguard is getting bc of “woke” is way too much. Also, we gotta stop using woke.

Based on launch, the joke is that it gets an 8.
Travis Northup and Leana Hafer are not the same person.
You guys need to grow the fuck up and realize that other people are gonna have different opinions than you. Also complaining about a whole point difference is fucking absurd.
I don't understand this view. Every review is the person reviewing its opinion . It's not the same people who reviewed both games? Just because She gave Dragon age a 9 doesn't mean Travis would have given it a 9 lol .
Different reviewer. Also with how many gamer say "ign dont matter" you have to wonder why we still see the same complain
there is no need to attack other games or people's opinions
Two different people reviewing two different games, with one being early access and still getting an 8. That is an excellent score for an incomplete game.
Asmongold has ruined so many brains.
I only look on steam reviews. Those gaming websites are so 2010. No need to visit them.
