Stop the video at 2:46. Is that an official Nintendo marketing video? Are those official placeholder icons for Zelda and Mario? Because they are HORRIFIC.
Maybe, but Gamemaster says the review was published later so they perhaps plagiarized a plagiarist
Another clear one. Damn. Serial plagiarism. He thinks writing is changing words around
A little :S
Well, now I will agree with the people who said that IGN should delete everything that has his name.
I wouldn't be surprised if we NEVER hear from the man ever again.
I told ya'll a few pages back- no one plagerizes "just once" theres usually many examples! It's a habit more than a singular temptation.
This guy has a serious problem regarding his "own experience". He always steal the sentence that includes the personal experience of the original author. What is wrong with him ?
Every time I see your avatar I think it is Pepsiman (but trust me, that's a good thing)
Wow. This really never ends!
For being his passion and career, he sure doesn't seem to enjoy writing about video games. Seems like just an excuse to be on camera and get his name out there for as little thought / effort as possible.
Manipulation like this combined with a complete lack of a conscience is unsettling. I feel bad for everyone impacted by his actions.

What does pepsiman (the character?) have to do with Batman?

Here's Filip's review of DOOM and Skyrim on Switch. Could someone else find any instances of plagiarism?

That Bayonetta 2 review sure looks lifted in context of the others. I think it is safe to assume anything he did has a very strong chance of containing lifted copy.
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.
vs.
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.
in order:
-compare to wii u counterpart
-playing on 60 inch tv
-improved framerate
-expected 1080p@60fps

I edited, check there.
And about Pepsiman: I have no ideia, i think my miopia is getting worse haha. If I look quickly, using my peripheral vision, I always interpret as Pepsiman :S
The first entries seem like a huge stretch, probably every review of Bayo 2 has sentences like that... the last sentence is definitely damning though.
Yeah, that is why at first (the final sentence was edited later)I tried to be cautious about it, while I read the rest.
Forbes:
Now we have evidence that he did more plagiarism while working for IGN. What they will do ?
Edit:
Can't say they aren't quickly we presented new evidence.
How to deal with fame since now that I am part of the Video Game Story ? /j

So Flip taunts the internet to find more examples knowing there are more examples of him doing this out there knowing that he was already found out and instead of apologizing and just fessing up he tries to spin it and now has irreparably damaged his reputation.
What a fucking dumb-ass. Just fucking apologize sincerely and move on with your life.

Damm, How could I not have seen it? ? hahahhaah(better translation)
Dude, it's so blatant
Everyone has the same TV
It doesn't even make sense. The game doesn't have more features than the original but trust me, it's a good thing? How the hell?
So here I am wondering "why the heck is this thread still going"? I should've figured after the Samus Returns review that there would be other instances, which is how is ALWAYS works with plagiarists.
I just cannot understand for the life of me why someone who plagiarizes would challenge an actual journalist to find instances of plagiarism. He was basically challenging Schreier's integrity with that shot at him and Kotaku. It'd be like Barry Bonds mocking investigative journalists and asking them to take a blood sample. You have to imagine that whatever sympathy he had at IGN has morphed into pure rage and disgust.

From now I would say that we just need to look for any piece where he talks about his "own experience" hahahhahaha
I think the last paragraph of the Forbes articles should be pinned in the OP and on top of each page, in case someone coincidentally comes here to post 'why are you guys still talking about this?':
No you don't understand, before the demo started the Nintendo rep emphatically showed us how the tv we were going to play the game on was a 60-inch one and constantly emphasized that we should put this detail on our previews.
If I was the developer I wouldn't mind this drama, it's practically free advertising.
