Exterminauts Wants You to Live a 9-to-5 Life That Bites Back | IGN Preview
Exterminauts is chaotic. Whether you’re blowing your friends up by accident or getting knocked off of a tall structure you’re trying to fix or just…
Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Ign
It ranks mainly on source trust: Ign is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 33% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 43% | Ign is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.47 | +0.094 23% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Whether you’re blowing your friends up by accident or getting knocked off of a tall structure you’re trying to fix or just reacting to stuff going wrong on the fly, you’re always making decisions and dealing with something beyond your control, and according to the developers, that’s intentional. I felt it during my demo, and it’s one of the aspects of Exterminauts I enjoyed most.
