FFXIII-2 too is 40/40, what a joke. Don't get me wrong I liked FFXIII-2, but it isn't a perfect or an extraordinary JRPG.
I'm not familiar with this sentiment, what is the problem with famitsu? Are they getting paid for reviews, prod they just hand out perfect 10s to anything?
My favorite part about Famitsu score discussions is how nobody ever asks what they said about the game.
For real. I'm so on this hype train.this could be 0/0/0/0 and I'd still be just as hyped

Because brand loyalty.
I've never understood blind brand loyalty.
I'm very loyal to the Platinum brand because they consistently offer fantastic games. I have yet to buy a Platinum game which made me dislike them. Everything has been top notch quality and gameplay.
Capcom used to be like that for me, but they're not anymore because of their practices and more recent releases. (Anything Itsuno does is still day one for me, though)
I don't understand brand loyalty to the machines which PLAY the games I own, however. If everything I wanted to play was on just one console, I'd own that console regardless of whoever made it. However since I'm a fan of titles on all three major platforms, I make a point of eventually owning all three.
confirmed worse than nintendogs, oop.
Nintendo writing big checks for this one it seems.

Guessing the one in disguise is Jeanne?
Going by that white stomping shoe weave attack.

Why not? It's not like they hand out 40s like it's nothing. They're actually quite critical.

...I guess this is news. I know people are excited about this game. (Do we still care about Famitsu reviews?)
Because brand loyalty.
The reflections on the ground are so beautiful. And all that space to fight in... ;-; So perfect.this could be 0/0/0/0 and I'd still be just as hyped

Definitely not Jeanne.
I'll post where she is in spoilers, just in case you haven't seen the trailers. Highlight at your own risk:Jeanne's soul is in Hell, and it looks like Rodin's keeping her body alive somehow. She tanked a shot meant for Bayonetta and got dragged down to Hell for it, which kicks off the events of the game: Bayonetta invading Hell to get Jeanne's soul back.
Nope. That's a new character, a Lumen Sage, and he actually can summon the Angel Boss beasties that you fought last time.
Jeanne, meanwhile, is the character that you'll spend at least a third of the game trying to rescue.
Interesting, thanks![]()

Lots of people still remember the time before Famitsu went to shit, so everyone gets excited for the scores for a minute then calms down when they remembered that they suck now.Aren't Famitsu scores just a joke of the industry?
Does anyone actually put credence to them?
My favorite part about Famitsu score discussions is how nobody ever asks what they said about the game.
And what, pray tell, is the source/context of this solid gold gif?

"The game is very fun", "I like how it looks" and "Action fans will love it!" don't make very good points for discussion![]()
Buying a Wii U for this game.
And Famitsu score is nice, I guess. All those 40's though...
Did Famitsu get bought out, or change staff or something? I recall a time where their opinions carried great weight, and they were considered harsh critics, but in recent years everyone just seems to go "LOL FAMITSU" when their scores are posted. What happened?
Because the moment they gave Nintendogs a 40/40, they ceased to exist

Turns out I found this screencap of it floating about:
Wait, it wasn't? I'm pretty sure it was.Not like the game was 60fps on 360 anyway.
Wait, it wasn't? I'm pretty sure it was.
this is how to get to me to buy a wii u
Just wondering, but what are the popular outlets/websites/people that Japanese game players go to for reviews on games? Are there NicoNico equivalents of youtubers? Does 4Gamer do reviews? How serious do people generally take Famitsu reviews?
Why not? It's not like they hand out 40s like it's nothing. They're actually quite critical.
