You can see that IGN has no clue what they are talking about when they decided to make this. it is like they grabbed someone's homework then changed the order so it looks like they didn't cheat, but we all know IGN.
I figured out why Xenoblade is so low. They were accidentally playing the wrong game, Castlevania 2 Simons Quest, and that's why they thought enemies got stronger at night.
I don't think it's fair to compare TWEWY and FFVII's reviews because they had different writers and years apart (could even be that the website had different staff working on it back then).
I get what you mean. It just makes me question who is making these decisions, and how, when I see the lack of consistency or logic in igns opinions over the years. Twewy is below FFVII on their list but has a higher review score on their site. I'm sure whoever posted this list and reviewed the game are two different people, but how can I trust igns opinions when they tell me one thing one day and another thing the next? What is their criteria for the organization of this list? Was it just whatever the group who curated it was feeling that day? What about the review of ffvii? It all just feels like a disorganized mess. That's why it's ironic to me that not even the websites review scores seem to agree with this list. There is no consistency with IGN. I'd say it's a folly of modern journalism, imo. These larger publications tend to lack a public figure or face to their content that decentralizes their focus and detatches them from the reader. The constantly revolving doors of critics and writers leads to a melting pot of opinions and focus that doesn't have an identity. I think it's why people are turning toward youtubers and smaller entities now too, but that's a whole separate topic.
@@thegamingchronicler You’re complaining about a problem that just doesn’t exist. There are tens (or hundreds) of writers that have worked at IGN over the years, all writing independently from one another. Of course their articles don’t all stack up and form some kind of cohesive ranking system. And they absolutely don’t need to, because that’s not what they’re there for. It’s just to give you some information and flavour for a game, with some of that writers personality thrown in. Also, I wouldn’t get too hung up on their “top 100s”. They like to throw some games that are maybe less known and more interesting to talk about. It’s more entertaining.
I hate to be the one defending IGN, but... The enemies are, in fact, stronger at night in most Xenoblade areas (at least in terms of raw levels). They didn't word it very well, but the essence of what they said is true. Why that's one of the things they need to highlight in a paragraph of a game with so many other elements, is uh, very questionable.
I love Sun and Moon defo not one of the worst pokémon generations but Number 30?! You trippin. Also tbh I would put the world ends with you over final fantasy vii.
