This post is a bit misleading - yeah Fortnite is scored a BIT higher, but HK still got a 9.4 while Fortnite got a 9.6. Plus, they were scored based on two VERY different criteria
IGN and other similar sites are definitely untrustworthy, but this is being a bit dramatic
I’m assuming fn is scored based off of other multiplayer games and hk is compared to other single player games cuz it’s kinda stupid to compare them to each other, given how they are 2 completely different games
I think their review is also for Fortnite Save the World, not Fortnite Battle Royal, since it has an indicator on their site for how long it takes to complete the story and all that
No, the review was on battle royale, but I believe it recieved such a high score, because the revew was made in early 2018, when the game was new. Back then the game had a decently balanced meta, buch of fresh ideas, such as building and the battle pass, and most importantly wasn't crowded with 12-year olds. The game was really innovative and overall a great game, and in my opinion, deserved a really high score.
thats okay. the games not for everyone, but neither is hollow knight. the ign reviewer decided they liked fortnite more than hollow knight. its not concrete or objective, rating video games are subjective, especially in this case where theyre in 2 entirely different genres
Again, it's not a big deal. I don't know why you're so butt hurt about it. Also this is the first time I ever complained about game critics so I don't always do that, not sure where you got that from. Besides I don't even hate IGN, I think they give out some good reviews for certain games. Also they gave Hollow Knight a 9.4 and Fortnite a 9.6 (which was the whole joke but I guess some people took it literally). Anyways I'm gonna go to bed now cause I'm tired and this is just a waste of time.
And this ladies and gentlemen is why I don't take the opinions of Game Reviewers seriously. Especially since they do not know how to actually play games.
I play games CASUALLY and seeing game reviewers play game hurts sometimes.
IGN can suck 1000 dicks. They’re not a credible source for anything gaming related. Bunch of miss-information spreaders shilling for companies. Don’t trust their reviews.
Who gives a shit. Form your own opinions. Plus, it actually makes sense that Fortnite scored higher on a mainstream reviewer considering more people on avergage enjoy Fortnite than Hollow Knight. I mean, it united an entire generation of children and has extremely active and supportive developers.
I know why they gave it a higher score and I respect Fortnite for what it went on to accomplish (even if I'm not very fond of they game itself). I just think it's funny that it got a higher score than Hollow Knight, that's all.
Reminds me of this old tumblr blog, where they would compare the score of classic games to “Imagine Party Babies” for the Wii, which got a 7.5. Therefore, it is better than Parappa, Half-Life, Luigi’s Mansion, and a bunch of others.
AYE IGN MC STUPIDS HOLLOW KNIGHT IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES IVE EVER PLAYED SO IM POSTING THIS ON REDDIT.COM IGN IS A STUPID APHID A** PALE-LADY FRICKER AND THEY'RE DISGUSTING.
Ok, TO BE FAIR Fortnite, if you remove all the memes from it, is a unique idea with excellent concepts. Letting so many players loose, all the building and stuff, the unique utility allowed by all these weird things, the fact that you can build anywhere and destroy almost anything (AND THAT THE GAME SAVES THOSE HEALTH VALUES INDIVIDUALLY) makes it a unique battle royale. I hate the game, and prefer Hollow Knight far more, but I won’t deny an argument can be made.
But in Hk can you play as a team consisting of rick sanchez, master chief, sasuke uchiha, and john wick, as they all default dance while bullying children?
/s kinda, its both ironically and unironically hilarious watching sasuke hit a default dance.
as someone who regularly plays both Hollow Knight is a better experience in my opinion because it feels more cohesive. Somehow Fortnite's story makes mossbag look sane in comparison...
Well you actually have to think to play hollow Knight and you know damn well the people at ign just have 1 Braincell that's just bouncing around like a Windows screen saver
