Actually I don’t care.

Target Australia is a s*** store in the s**** corner of the world, in a country run by puritans pro censorship

This is only one of many ridiculous cases of censorship in Australia, not only gaming, it includes movies, books…..

Remember time ago they wanted to do a “firewall” China style to “protect” their puritan population from the evils of internet?

Actually game industry should forget about them, I would not like that gaming to be dumbed down just to please those puritans and reach it’s market,

As I understand it, Joe quoted IGN as giving Titanfall a 9. IGN gave it a what.....8.9? They have issue with Joe claiming it a 9?

.01 is a minuscule difference but that's a bit besides the point. The difference between a 8.9 and and a 9 is tiny, but the difference between a 8 and 9 is not, and that's what people will pay attention to when they watch Joe's review. Many don't pay heed to tenths of a point. The fact is, IGN didn't give it a 9 even though it was so close it mine as well have been. The best B in the world is still not an A, and Joe was wrong in calling it such. I can definitely agree that IGN is blowing this a bit out of proportion, but Joe shouldn't say it's a 9 when it lays in the realm of an 8. If I was the review editor and it was my review, I'd probably take issue with it as well.

There's a reason there's tenths of a point differences, and to disregard a .1 kind of invalidates the whole point of the system.

It is not an audio review is a VIDEO review, people WATCHING as you mention saw a very big image in the background with the right score (go to minute 8.39 ), and then a comment “God I hate decimals scores”.

And for you 8.9 is absolutely different than 9 and maybe right, you understand it in that way, but many people don’t even read the review, they just see the score and for them is “8.9 is almost 9” as it was for Angryjoe.

The best way would be or use letters, or not use decimals.

Is not Joe’s fault that IGN system is unclear with multiple of these subjective interpretations

@Jacanuk:

It’s internet man, few people when are picked stand to not fight, it’s easy to say “gar garr… immature, they act childish…”

Internet is full of troll fights, but in this case were 2 people with high profile but they are not different than you or me.

The thing is that Dan, started, he is meant to be a “professional”, working for a company called IGN and should maintain certain standard, while in theory Joe is an independent guy and he doesn’t call himself “journalist”, so he doesn’t need to act “professional”, in theory he is like you or me, the only difference is that he has over a million subscribers on YT.

For Dan as I have read is not the first time he acts like that, the difference again is that he usually doesn’t pick on people of high profile as Joe, he picks on unknown people in IGN.com no one cares, this time picked in some that made his jerkiness notorious.

And for IGNs prestige as reviewers just remember one thing: Mass Effect 3

Joe is totally right, he could have probably put it different. But Dan was being an ass. They have made up now though. But Dan was talking out of his ass on this. EA even used their quote on "Believe the hype!" So it's legit

I agree that Dan was the one starting it, but Joe is not right, he is as much in the fault as Dan is, after all both are grown men.

He had plenty of opportunity to close it and he could just have been the bigger man and put Dan on ignore.

If you read the tweet Joe told Dan more than once to stop but he was like a houndog over him.

Yes he could ignore him, but that might sound too like he was chicken out, censoring Dan, not giving the right of counter reply, or giving him the reason… it could be seen bad in many senses and for many reasons.

@Grieverr: Maybe is because today most hc gamers trust more in those video bloggers than in the big “professional”, that are infamous (falsely or not) for reviewing trying to please more their sponsors than readers. In part that’s Dan soreness, because the place where he works made a big campaign “follow the hype” for TF.

AngryJoe could be the “amateur”, but Dan started (as you already told) Joe called Dan to stop more than once and Dan continued picking the fight.

Now, technically I am with Joe because he wasn’t misquoting, is a VIDEO review not an audio review, and he placed big in his background the right score.

Curiously people in consoles are not complaining about this issue I might be the first one.

I am playing the 360 version and I can’t pass the stupid tutorial, I also think I will be stuck here I don’t want to keep trying this annoying fart thing.

A pity the game was fun until this point :(

You do realize the game is still being built, right? It's in Early Access. Meaning incomplete.

Yes, the early builds are clicktastic clickfests of clicking, that much is true. But in time they are supposed to add idols for the villages that will help collect BELIEF points and I'm sure the villager A.I. will be built up as well.

@The_Last_Ride said:

Yup, the game is still incomplete, i think it's in alpha stage atm

The game is not as terrible as they claim, actually I had some fun for some hours (even when I can see the game was developed for a “touch screen” in mind, not a PC).

However see Steam forums, we feel the game is in a state of “abandonment”

I got the game around October last year, I had received a lot of updates of many already “finished games”, while from Godus since I got it many months ago: zero, nothing, nada... Is the same version I have since months ago and nothing official about an incoming update.

Being an “early access” and in alpha I was waiting more updates and more communication, there is a lot of rumors none good, and no official position.

I am ok with my 360, but for the next gen I think Ill move to PS (am not a fanboi of any company), I dont want a media center I want just a good game console (and I doubt non gamers wanting a media center will look for an xbox either).

Besides Sony has lots of exclusives now, while what ms offered? Partnership with EA the most hated and ugly game company.

Add to it how they screwed the indy devs, and there are very cool indy games developed in the past years like minecraft, terraria, dont starve now all those will consider before going to xbox.

The fanbois defending this fiasco think twice before buy, there is a history of failed consoles, some were promising like Saturn, and this one is sinking before launch. In a couple of years you will have just a very expensive voice TV remote control.
