To be honest, the IGN review may have angered me more than it should. I cant believe they just hated on the game from the get go. Nothing impressed them and it just sounded like they were paid to say hateful things bout it all. They just hated on all survival elements. Which makes me ask "then why are you playing it then?!" Anyone else feel the same??

I never ever take notice if IGN reviews, they're always biased, unnecessarily hating glops of shit, they hardly ever get it spot on, some of my favourite well done games got shit scores on ign and went on to be masterpieces, ACG on youtube always does really good completely non biased reviews, I mean he rated days gone as wait to go on sale but other than that he really does well with delivering a coherent all round review
I tend to stay away from big company reviews, gameranx before you buy is usually my go to
Playing it now. I haven't made too much progress but it's awesome so far.
If the main character had been a black disabled vegan this would of got a solid 10 from IGN.
I watched a lot of reviews for this game, Ive been in bed with tonsillitis so I could not wait for this to come out. Out of all the reviews I watched ign felt like the most nitpicky and generally lazy review, it felt like they chose the wrong person to review it, like i don't get along with jrpgs so I'd be a bad person to review one. However I do like zombie slaughter. I might not be objective but at least I wouldn't be dragging my heels. She sounded sour from the get go, then again maybe I'm just pissed off she didn't like it cause I'm having a great time playing every second of it.
Two words Lucy Obrien, considering she is always on the nuts of naughty dog aka Last of us, there was no way she was going to praise the other "zombie game" She had an agenda from the get go.
I do respect their opinion on a lot of games but I kinda have to agree with you. It actually made me kinda angry too TBH. Well I guess we will see how I feel after 13 hours (around the time I think he said he felt overwhelmed by the repetition) however my initial opinion is pretty good so far. I can see there being some repetition already maybe a few hours in but it's not like.. far cry bad. I just kinda wish people wouldn't be so hard on it right out the gate. This could end up becoming a pretty good series should they choose to make another game and take some of the honest criticism to heart. (Although if you pay close attention to some dialogue you can see they knew people were gonna be annoyed by some things)
Another redditor said something earlier I thought quite appropriate. You can't spell ignorant without IGN.
