Are you all sure that IGN will give ME 3 a good score, because I think they don't know what the hell they are talking about.

ME 9.4
ME2 9.0
ME3 9.x
Or 8.x I don't get why they would rate Mass Effect higher than ME2 tbh unless they have some 'it's no rpg anymore' bias which doesn't really say much about whether the game as such is good or not.

Actually

ME - 9.4
ME2 - 9.6

Huh, where did I look. Probably on the german ign site.

In that case ME3 = 9.x

[Gatt9]

I'm not sure,  it could go either way.

If it's an ok game at least,  it'll get a 9.x

But,  if my fears turn out to be correct,  it'll get a 7.x

I wouldn't bet on either prediction though,  there's lots of ways this can go.

[AgitatedLemon]

I'll put away my facepalm'ing for the anti-IGN fanboys for a straight answer.

Lowest, I'd say a 7. Highest, probably around what ME2 got.

If you say so.  IGN scores are more often than not consistent with every other gaming site.  All of them must be wrong.

You cannot spell Ignorant without IGN

I hate sayin this but its true. I like IGN alil but not to much.

This. 

People must have missed my MW3 aggregate earlier.

Clearly, IGN is an evil corporation hell bent on giving misinformation, when every other company is doing the same thing. Burn them at the stake.

i don't pay much attention to reviews much anyway from any website

7 is highly unlikely. It would be worse than DA2.

I really think it may get a perfect 10!

It wouldn't matter if it does.

IGN is giving out perfect 10s like they were going out of style.   They gave one to Skyward Sword, Uncharted 3, and Infinity Blade 2 and none of those were really all that remarkable.

Honestly I think very little of IGN's ratings at this point.

That was true until they started throwing out all these perfect 10s.   The concensus on Skyward Sword, Uncharted 3, and Infinity Blade 2 was that they were all good; but ultimately unremarkable and IGN declared all three of them to be flawless masterpieces.

IGN doesn't seem to give a damn about innovation or creativity any more, just give them a game without any obvious flaws and they'll slap a perfect 10 on it.

My guess is that it will get a 9.6 because it will have some flaw that holds it back from perfection and that's fine by me.   I'd rather have an ambitious game that falls short of perfection like Skyrim then a predictable romp with no clear flaws like Skyward Sword.

Ign's and the rest the so called professional gaming sites are all paid off.EA throws them a little cash kick back and it will be somewhere in the 9.0 - 10.0 range.I'd rather trust community reviews or word by mouth.

[DRUNK_CANADIAN]

The real question is why should you care, you don't need a monkey at a desk to tell you if poop stinks or if gold shines.

[Unpleasant Implications]

If they gave Uncharted 3 a 10/10, ME3 will obviously get one as well.

It doesn't have to be remarkable to receive positive reviews. It has to be good. Skyward Sword, UC3 were both good. I haven't played IB2.

People throw around the words innovation and creativity like they know what it means. Not every other game in existence needs to be 100% original, or even 50% original.

One of the most influential games of all time - World of Warcraft, is an Everquest clone. CALL THE PO-LEESE!

The highest growing franchise of all time - CoD, takes note from the early MoH games (And takes some developers too). You'll notice that starting from CoD 4 they've moved away from this, significantly. CALL  THE PO-LEESE!

Nintendo's highest grossing franchise -- Mario, every main game (Platformers) has largely been the same (8 worlds, Bowser is final boss, play as Luigi after you beat the game, pickup mushrooms). the only difference between them all are the obligatory visual upgrades and new powerups. 

You know the funny thing? Every other game critic in existence and their mother rates these with consistent 8-10's on every game in the series. Clearly, IGN is to blame.

edit: The only franchise I know of that still consistently churns out rave reviews, despite changing their entire formula is Resident Evil. RE4 is almost universally regarded as one of the best games of the decade, RE5 ranges from "Very good" to "Near perfect". Revelations has been given a 9 from GameInformer (It isn't out yet).

I didn't say it needed to be remarkable to merit a good review.   But if you want to give it a perfect score it should be better then just good.   They've got a 10 point scale with decimal points,  that last decimal point should be pretty precious real estate or else they should just cut it back to a 5 star system like G4 uses.

I think it would be best if I told everyone here that ign doesn't give out 8.9s, 9.8s or anything that doesnt end with .0 or .5 since late 2010. They changed the way they rate games and are based if a 10 point system instead of 100. They did it because they feel as if that people shouldn't pay TOO much attention to reviews and that if you like the game then fine. It's your opinion so they did that especially when people were complaining that (if I'm right) that ign gave ME2 and 9.6 and Red Dead Redemption got a 9.7 which caused arguments among users what on what was better.

Any philosophy that permits a perfect raiting is flawed, doesn;t matter if it's 10 points or 5 stars. 9.9 or 4.9 should always be the highest, considering nothing is perfect.

Does anyone actually care what score they give it?

Usually i use those scores to determine if i would want to buy a hypothetical game. If it's 8-10 i then try the demo if they have it so i don't have to waste my time trying out all the demos that are out there. If i like the demo then i will go get the game once i have enough money saved up. Those scores are usefull to us players that don't have a lot of extra money to spend, which is why ME3 will be the only game i will buy for a couple of months.

Depends if they get paid off or not.
