Who cares about IGN?
Good point
I don't care about IGN either, it's just that it's quite strange they haven't posted a review, as that's something they always do.
Eh, they'd give it 6/10 with a shit reasoning like with every penultimate episode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ikr except this episdoe isn't shit like TWD
This will get 8.5 . Mark my words.
Lots of people! Or it wouldn't still exist as a site.
It'll get 6.9
Who even cares, we already know IGN would give it a 6.
After how they reviewed Kingdom Hearts and how that guy from IGN laughed at the death of one of the characters from another TTG game, I've become rather distasteful of IGN's Reviews to be honest.
I remember the good ol days when Greg Miller reviewed Season 1 of The Walking Dead
I remember it too.
There can never be too much Ben!!
Well the episode was released on the week of christmas. Maybe no one got around to playing the episode and reviewing it.
Also, people say they don't care about IGN and their reviews, yet still make threads like this.
Yeaaaah, loads of people say they don't care about IGN's reviews, but they must care, otherwise there wouldn't be a bunch of threads and posts about them across several message boards.
I think it's a matter of curiosity. I used to love IGN, and would read/watch their reviews for a lot of things... in recent times, however, it's been harder to trust them to give balanced reviews. My interest in IGN's opinion is mainly to see if they feel for anything that episode four has accomplished, considering their distaste for the previous episodes.
So, yes, I suppose we do care, but not enough so to allow their opinions of the game to affect ours.
IGN rating for episode 4: 6.9
Reviews in general are not suppose to affect your opinion of a game or product in any way. They are their to give you an idea of what the game is by going over its design, technical performance and other pros and cons, which would hopefully help you decide in whether or not you want to purchase the game. So whether or not IGN gives episode 4 a good or bad score shouldn't affect your or anyone's enjoyment of the game, especially if its been out for a month.
Hey.
Hey Ben! See ya.
Well game isn't really memorable in any way, can't blame them for not caring
The original 'Too much water'
They like water more than Ben though, S1E4 got a 7.5, while ORAS got a 7.8. Can't wait so what they give Fire Emblem Fates, since it also has a lot of water. Probably a 7.8.

Huh... It's still a game, you know...
Well hello there, haven't seen you in a while. Had a good new year?
True... just saying they aren't as helpful now (imo) as they used to be. :P

6.3.
A complete outrage... I read it, I do not agree. It is much better than what they say. Ugh. IGN...
It was bound to happen, so continues the tradition of every telltale series's 4th episode getting a lowish score by IGN (usually a 6/10 to a 7/10). (Sons of Winter is the only episode to avoid the curse getting a 8.2)
Around Every Corner - 7.5/10
Amid The Ruins - 6/10
In Sheep's Clothing - 6/10
Escape Plan Bravo - 6/10
Block In a Hard Place - 6.3/10
Sons of Winter - 8.2/10
Oh IGN...
It's has something to Do, with them being the Penultimate Episodes. GoT EP. 5 got a 6,5(wich i actually agree on).
GoT EP. 5 Review
And don't forgot LiS EP. 4, wich got a 6/10. LiS EP. 4 Review
But it has something to Do with the Overall Structure of the Episodic-Format. Penultimate Episodes Are mostly Build-ups for the Grand Finale. But some Are Great. Like TftBL EP. 4.
I really don't get it. Block in a Hard Place and Escape Plan Bravo were freaking fantastic. IGN... and Sons of Winter really doesn't deserve that high of a score.
I hate to say that they're right, but they're right. Let's go through these one by one:
Pretty decent ending, good choices but most of the new characters felt useless in the story and only existed to give Crawford more of a "it's really bad" than it already was instead of developing them as their own characters (400 Days alleviates this, somewhat, but we're talking about Around Every Corner here). This episode also had a lot of walking to do which made it a bit boring (for me at least).
Oh god where do I even begin with this one. Sarah's choice meaning absolutely nothing. How hostile Jane was towards Arvo. Nick's death in general. One of the choices was seriously "Hold the Baby?" Wow Telltale much drama 10/10
The episode was insanely short. Choice that only really mattered was what place you investigated first, and didn't even matter because you ended up going to both places anyway. Not to mention that this exact same thing happened in Episode 3 but it was done 10 times better. And finally getting to The Crooked Man's lair, only for the episode to stop there? Seriously?
This is the only one I don't get, it got a little boring at times but no where near a 6/10 boring. IMO should have been 7.5/10, some of the choices weren't that great but I felt like is was a good episode overall.
Only one I haven't played.
This isn't even the penultimate episode, but A Nest Of Vipers totally deserved the 5/10 (IIRC) that it got. Everything about it was just... meh
Lol. Called it.
I called this shit!
Gotcha.
So the IGN review for ep 4 is up I see. Now all i have to do is to sit back and enjoy the angry comments from fans. Better grab some popcorn.
It's not so much 4th episodes, but penultimate episodes that IGN hates.
Inb4 Michonne Ep 2 gets 6/10 too.
Another 6 rating, ........really IGN?
Agreed. The only reason I felt the twist coming was because someone else on the threads predicted it. IGN's other cons, I simply don't agree with.
The guys at IGN must REALLY not care for Penumilate episodes.
