one of the more embarrassing strangely common video game fandom behaviours is holding onto resentment over specific IGN reviews decades later. you are 29 years old bro you gotta led the sonic unleashed review go

I sorta disagree, its fun to see an older review that got it wrong, especially with hindsight, and having a giggle. IGN sees some over representation in that, sure, but there was a time where IGN were hitting some real duds, and it's fair to be critical of that/critique it even if it was in the past

I'll add to this however that anyone with real vitriol over a game review from decades ago and actually wishes harm or something like that is less hinged than a sliding glass door

i mean yeah i’m not talking about disagreeing with old reviews when you see them i’m talking about how they continue to hold real rhetorical and emotional weight in games spaces, despite not being relevant anymore and the games in question usually being pretty popular with strong legacies

I totally admit I misunderstood parts of your original post! My bad entirely, I pretty much argued the point of a totally different conversation (And probably clogged your notifications, sorry)
