View Full Version : IS IGN worth the subscriptin?
|
cbsnow31 Mar 21, 2002, 08:04 AM I am a PC and PS2 gamer. I have seen members referencing www.IGN.com but to read reviews and such there is a $4.95 monthly subscription fee. They also promote that you can download pdf strategy guides. Can anyone comment if they deliver $4.95 a month worth or can the same info be gotten elsewhere. Any links would be great.... tsay2cx Mar 21, 2002, 08:26 AM I ued to love IGN.com , since they got really got reviews and uch, but after I start charging for the subscirption, I stopped going to the place.. I personally don't think it is worth it since the info they provide, you can also find at like 10 other video games review sites over the web, and they don't charge.. It is really up to you, if you are a die hard fan of the site, the monthly fee really isn't that much.. cbsnow31 Mar 21, 2002, 08:35 AM Thanks...never been there but hate having to pay for that which can be gotten for free khosw Mar 21, 2002, 03:58 PM just go to videogames.com or gamefaq.com those are two of my favorites right now and they are freakin free Leviathan Mar 21, 2002, 04:50 PM I hate ign now that you have to be an insider to view everything I cant even look at a guide for Final Fantasy X when there free on the other sites, I dont think its worth it. thegoatherder13 Mar 21, 2002, 05:18 PM NOPE kyle5077 Mar 21, 2002, 06:00 PM the only good thing they have are there guides. if u relly need help on a lot of games try it out ThoseOfTheUnlight Mar 21, 2002, 07:53 PM Well, you can get everything you need to know most other places for free, gamefaqs.com for strategy guides, so I definately wouldnt support them by paying the subsciption fee! nan Mar 21, 2002, 08:42 PM most strats are free at ign. only a few are locked mikecmh Mar 22, 2002, 12:06 AM I have free membership from IGN. You don't get to see some of the cool screen shots and movies, but you still get all the reviews and news. If you want walkthrough and cheats Gamefaqs is much better. bearauto Mar 22, 2002, 01:02 AM Well, a year's subscription to IGN Insider is $20.00, which is terrible, compared to free. However, you can get IGN Insider for free, like me... Just register with ign and when it gets to the payment screen, there's an option to get your membership sponsored by a number of different companies. I signed up for a credit card and they gave me a free year's subscription to IGN Insider...my card isn't even activated! |
