I came to this thread late, and want to reply to a moderator with the classic Neogaf Nintendogs post...but I will resist.

IGN to scrub Filip Miucin from site almost completely after even more plagiarism surfaces (READ OP)
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
OH SHIT! We need someone to compare the two. That'd be fucking wild.Also, anyone else find it odd that Filip started a weekly Smash website roundup right after GameXplain did so...? It's not like other major gaming outlets did this.
I feel sorry for the Spawnwave crew. That's fucked up being used as nothing more than a stepping stone by a damn plagiarist sociopath.
And then the people at IGN working with this guy and not knowing he's stealing work left and right and undermining the reputation of the company. Jesus.

over/under on when this guy starts pandering to the alt-right/gamergate for subsistence through patreon
I just want to post this again on this page just in case anyone had missed it and was somehow still questioning whether he was plagiarizing or not...

I was shook because of how blatant it is.

Sounds like a job for the ol' analysis machine.
It's definitely not as direct as this other stuff; his videos are less than 10 minutes while the GX ones are over an hour. He also always had a guest so it wasn't scripted. But I wouldn't be surprised if the idea for the series was copped.
I hope you all follow me on social media where I know I can prove to you that I can do better in the future.
Gotcha. Thanks, I figured there'd still be some it's just been awhile since I've been to IGN so checking myself wasn't working.
posting again since we are back on track:

Polygon:
"Otherwise, the two games will remain largely identical to their older counterparts. But at a Los Angeles press event on Wednesday, I was treated to a bit of Bayonetta 2 on the Switch console, and was pleasantly surprised by how much it holds up and by how good it looks on a 60-inch TV. The increased frame rate allows for smoother gameplay, so you can dodge attacks with relative ease and finish off enemies with your chainsaw boots. I know a lot of people would've hoped for 1080p and 60fps, but even at 720p, it looks great."
Filip:
"In regards to the amount of content included, both games seem to have remained virtually identical to their previous counterpart consoles. Despite the game's lower resolution, they both looked absolutely stunning on the 60-inch TV I played on, and the increased frame rate provided a much smoother play experience which made my time with the game much more enjoyable as a whole. A lot of us were expecting 1080p/60 fps for this one, but even while running at 720p, it still manages to look fantastic."
Probably will just start plagiarising Alex Jones now.
It still makes no sense as to why you'd take what would be a dream job for so many people, getting paid to play and review video games, and then not do it? What's even the point.
Reviewing games is one of the easiest job you can do.
People are getting paid to actively play games and write 4 paragraphs about what they played.
Finishing a game isnt even required. You dont need to be good at it.
Yet you have people who want it even easier.
This will affect the Metacrtic rating for the reviews that IGN are pulling, right? The impact of this guy's plagiarism goes quite deep. Even his friends, family and loved ones will be questioning everything about him - all the love and support he would have been given as he started his career, all the praise and congratulations, all of it based on pure lies, theft and deceit. I couldn't live with myself if I'd have done that.
"I don't like the frogs being turned friggin' gay by them."
The internet is literally not all uploaded on a single database that check's each new addition. There is also no software that cross checks videos, google has not even attempted this on YouTube.
How many plagiarised articles have been found?
From my count it was
Dead Cells
Fifa 18
Samus Returns
Hd rumble
Bayonetta 2
Octopath traveller.
Any others?

I have discovered that I can no longer enjoy ERA threads. It's terrible that I am forced to always wonder when I see SweetNicole and think, "is she here because of plagiarism? Or is she here because of SJW pressure??"
I hate that. I hate that I can't just sit back and enjoy a good thread without having this intellectual itch, gnawing at me.

Filip is either an incredibly lazy writer and does the review last minute or as soon as he finds a review he likes. Or he suffers a rare case of photographic memory that interferes with his writing.
That is why I like Angry Joe's review. Ignoring some forced jokes, it is like talking to a friend about a game. He shares his views, what he liked, what he didn't. And that is it. It's not about agreeing, it's about hearing from another person what they thought about it
While he did steal a bunch of the Polygon article, I took the 60-inch TV thing to infer that he played the game at the LA event with other press. Though I suppose he stole the size of the TV from Polygon.
The Octopath incident is kind of two-in-one, since it took lines from both Polygon's review and the IGN review written by one of Filip's former peers.
We should clarify that in some cases he copied the TV size, the part where the original author said " I believe ". This is crazy
In his doom review he said the game gets ugly on big screen. I wonder if it was the 60' inch one
I mean, I could never write 4 paragraphs about a video game but i also would never try to make that my job either.
I wonder if he copied anything from Jason Schreier. That would be the perfect bow on this story.
Yeah, I've come to appreciate guys like Angry Joe more and more over the years for precisely this reason.

Someone asked in the other thread how long until someone get the movie rights
