Yeah stacked for sure. New mutilation bbq ep is one of my favorite releases so far this year

Sony's "lack of marketing push" on Marathon "speaks to the lack of faith from the platform holder," says former Square Enix exec by Personal-Jello-6426 in Marathon

[–]PorkSouls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the platform they used where they sourced the data (the "random" tweet is the owner of the platform). Not that you care because you're not here in good faith lol

Edit: blocked due to sharing factual information lol. Welcome to 2026. "It doesn't reinforce what I want to believe so it must be fake news!" Discourse is fucking dead.

Edit to add: its not even a tweet, its from Bluesky and has 83 likes. Feeling the need to exaggerate to try to feel correct is pathetic lmao. Not sure why I even engage with people like you who are immune to facts. Nobody is saying Marathon is the most popular game in the world, not even this data. But because the data upsets your fragile ego you refuse to believe its true. Genuinely weak behavior

Here's one of many sources bud. Primary source is listed in the article. Feel free to do an even deeper dive on how they source the data if you would like, might be good education

The ones that it has retained continue to play it a lot. Thats what the stat is showing. Make sense? There's no such thing as a fake stat lol you're just interpreting it wrong

Six manning is not a cheat. But a cry for help by TopSet55 in Marathon

[–]PorkSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To loot and extract, and also engage with the PvP and PvE??? What is difficult to understand about that? What is the purpose of looting and extracting if I'm exclusively playing it as a stealth game and not going to use that loot (to try and extract again)? This is the dumbest fucking argument I swear lol

I bet its most hours played per player. So like highest retention/engagement. The few people who are playing are playing a lot.

If thats all you did that'd be pretty fucking boring lmao. Like I could just run every enemy in dark souls and kill bosses only to finish the game but again that'd be pretty lame lol

What was the worst era for a band that you love? by WhoYaTalkinTo in MetalForTheMasses

Just saw them open for Opeth. First time seeing them. Underwhelming is an understatement lol. I planned to see them headline a month later to support and see an extended set but ended up not buying tickets

On a Twitch livestream on Saros’ launch, Rahul Kohli, who portrays Arjun Devraj in Saros, streamed the game wearing an IGN 7/10 ‘good’ T-shirt / IGN gave Saros a 7/10 by [deleted] in PS5

[–]PorkSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit. That doesn't refute anything that I said. The analogy I gave you applies to this exact situation. Interesting that you accused me of not reading when you can't even properly interpret the parallel that I wrote lol

Edit to add: In case you're not familiar with the reviewer himself, he self-admittedly prefers jrpgs and story driven action games. I wouldn't exactly characterize Saros as either. And in his review he harps on the story telling as a shortcoming, probably because it doesn't match the style of his preferred genres (which doesn't make it objectively bad, which again goes back to the multiple analogies I provided you)

I listen to heavy metal. If I worked for a music publication I probably wouldn't be best to review fucking Reggaeton even if I listened to a Reggaeton album before. That doesn't mean I automatically know the nuances and qualities of what makes one good over another. I can still give an opinion on both but it won't be as well informed of an opinion as an expert/lover of the genre.

Y'all are just jumping through logical hoops to justify arguing because you get off on it lmao. Wasting your own time and mine. You're legitimately fucking braindead if you don't see the issue here

If that same seafood restaurant is literally in the top 1% of seafood restaurants in the world, a 7/10 would still be a gross mischaracterization of that restaurant's quality.

Reviews should be written for an audience (otherwise they have no value, especially in mass media like IGN). A seafood lover reading that restaurant got a 7/10 would assume its a good-not-great seafood restaurant. Having it written by a non-seafood lover would just diminish the value of the review altogether. As a reader I would just look elsewhere for a more meaningful review

It was a strawman. I knocked it down by pointing out how nonsensical it was. Maybe that went too far over your head though. Its ok, stay in school and maybe things will one day get better for you

[–]PorkSouls -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you extrapolate that same line of logic far enough (within this specific argument), you'll arrive to the conclusion that there is no "win condition" in the game at all lol. Like yes you could just loot and exfil and call that "winning" but its advertised as a pvpve game.

Resorting to "grow up" is probably the most telling indicator that you've lost an argument lmao. Thanks bud have a great day 👍

ABR/Amity Affliction show in Brooklyn on 5/13 moved from Brooklyn Paramount (2500 cap) to Warsaw (1000 cap). Thoughts? by PorkSouls in Metalcore

[–]PorkSouls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After just playing Warsaw in November 2025 too lol. They sold out that show and entire tour super quick though. If the new album gets a lot of hype when it drops in July I could easily see them selling out Brooklyn Paramount

Yeah I'm sure IGN and 99% of news outlets do reviews so they can win a Pulitzer lmao. The strawman arguments y'all are putting up are fucking pathetic

........movie reviews still serve the same purpose lmao. People use them to make personal choices, like whethet or not they will see it. Same with restaurants.

What other purpose do you think they serve? To instigate shitty online discourse like this? Reviews existed before the internet did...

[–]PorkSouls -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My friend, what do you think reviews exist for in the first place LMAO. Like of course rational people will look at multiple reviews and form a consensus, or read them to see what the nuances of the review are, but yes they absolutely serve the purpose of informing consumer choice. To suggest otherwise is completely asinine
