-Claims IGN Hates Nintendo
-Brings up Non Nintendo games, while ignoring their praise of Skyward Sword, Paper Mario Sticker Star, etc, while forgetting their obvious derp moments with Xenoblade(IT'S A 9/10 BECAUSE IT'S NOT A 360 GAME VISUALLY), Wonderful 101(It gets a 7/10 because I thought the controls were bad even though gameplay footage showed I suck), etc.
-Forgets that every Review site EVER has had moments where they've been accused of hating on Nintendo and thinks this is some sort of big thing when a review is a person's opinion.
Face it, a reviewers opinion is subjective and not objective. While IGN has had some big moments that were full of DERP with Nintendo(Xenoblade/W101), they also have shown at times an example of UNDERSTANDING a game on a Nintendo system and giving a review that fits those interested in it(Etrian Odyssey IV, Pushmo,etc). Reviews are based on the reviewers opinion of the item in question. This is a truth in reviews of ALL MEDIUMS, be it film, music, literature, games, etc.
Labeling them as haters with ZombiU as "OMG THEY HATEZ NINTENDO" is completely overselling ZombiU's appeal. Yes, it may be a fun game, but it was a true survival horror game. That's a very, very small niche today, and from what I've heard the game itself is VERY hit or miss. This is like me complaining about the Game Informer review of Etrian Odyssey. They put a general gamer on a genre that is niche and they got a mixed review because SHOCKER, DIFFERENT GAMES APPEAL TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
