PS2 Gundam One Year War: 8, 8, 9, 7

hmm any info on what exactly they said about this?

 

[Amir0x]

PS2 Gundam One Year War: 8, 8, 9, 7
PS2 Saint Seiya: 8, 6, 7, 7
PS2 Yamato: 7, 7, 8, 6
PS2 Pro Baseball Spirits 2: 9, 8, 9, 9
PS2 WRC4: 8, 8, 8, 7
PS2 Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow: 9, 8, 8, 7
XB Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow: 9, 8, 8, 8
PSP Wipeout Pure: 7, 6, 7, 7 (GAFfers am cry)
NDS Electroplankton: 8, 7, 7, 7

So, the main point of discussion:
- racing along courses like a roller coaster is fun, but the game is too difficult: 7
- there are no surprising course layouts, and the game doesn't have much impact: 6
- really looks good, but way too difficult: 7
- feels like cutting through the wind, good to play with analog stick: 7

We've been past established Famitsu is fucking insane.

The things that SHOULD be discussed is: How did they approach Electroplankton (lol Drinky) and what crazy shit did they reveal.

NDS Electroplankton: 8, 7, 7, 7

Not big fans of "non-games" huh?

PS2 Gundam One Year War: 8, 8, 9, 7

This is actually pretty sad ;_; Considering the staff and budget going into this, deep down I was hoping this would score 35+ and would be the AAA Gundam game.

Though the trailer for the game has massive slowdown (like Sky Gunner style) when there is a ton of enemies on screen so that might've dropped the score a bit.

Much impact?! Seriously, WTF?

yeah no kidding, everything I saw of the game prior, looked pretty damn great.

Then again they did give ACE a 29 no? What was the general consensus on that one finally?

Famitsu is too weaksauce.

ACE is good stuff, but OYW lets you land on aircrafts!. Not too mention OYW has completely redrawn anime scenes from 0079 and 1st person time-crisis style gun missions!. Arghh, it better be awesome or I'll be sad ;_;

 

[cvxfreak]

Famitsu is too weaksauce.

As if RE4 didn't prove that already. :lol

 

[Alcibiades]

wtf?!

I thought electroplakton was like a fall or late '04 release?

I guess just for the US...

where the heck are Band Brothers and other stuff Japan's had since a long time...

-eating gyoza is fun! I played this game while eating gyoza. but it was too hard to play while I ate the gyoza. 6

Okay, so, like, everyone's paying attention and seeing that Famitsu reviews are stupid and mean dick, right?

 

[Of All Trades]

Huh? That's a good score.

Anything below a 30 from Famitsu means they think it's garbage. They may or may not be correct about that (because their reviews are terrible), but in general, anything below an 8 is a bad sign.

Here's my internal Famitsu-adjuster: take the score. Subtract 20 points. Now divide the new score by 20. The resulting percentage is closer to reality.

Doh, fished in. Mods, kill the thread, the scores are fake
