That's probably because they saw the game to be better than XIII. Having driven themselves into a corner with the 39/40 they gave to XIII, the score only has one direction to go and 40/40 it was
I think someone mentioned some time back that it's not really money but the success of the industry that drives Famitsu when it comes to giving review scores. They give highe scores to games that they really want people to buy or if they think the industry needs to be more positive. That's why their policy for 40/40 totally changed and they started giving out more 40/40 in a year than they did in the decade before.
"The game is very fun", "I like how it looks" and "Action fans will love it!" don't make very good points for discussion
For real. I'm so on this hype train.this could be 0/0/0/0 and I'd still be just as hyped
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.

They'll spend a total of 5$ marketing it.
And this is the correct answer.
Last generation, I was able to get away with only owning a Wii and PS3, due to the fact that the 360 just didn't have anything I needed exclusive to that platform. This generation already looks to be something different, due to the fact that at least Scalebound on XBone exists.
And I really don't have a problem with that, because in the end, it's the games that should warrant me plopping down more of my hard-earned cash on a platform.
Guessing the one in disguise is Jeanne?
Going by that white stomping shoe weave attack.
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.
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.

Correction, RE6 was a 39/40 but WHAT THE FUCK WHY SO HIGH?
No, but the picture of Kamiya alone is thread-worthy.

Got nothing to do with brand loyalty.
If you don't like Nintendo tentpole franchises there isn't enough to justify the purchase.
My WiiU has basically been a dust magnet for over a year. Its only my love for this franchise why I bought it.
Not everyone is that dedicated.
(and before you ask, Yes I did buy TW101. I don't like it.)
My console is a Bayonetta box. I may try splatoon if there is a demo, likewise Pokken, but Im not really all that bothered If I don't play them either.

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

Interesting, thanks
To add, if you look closely, that wicked weave type attack is actually the angel Fortitudo (or one of his clones at least)
Its not a shoe but one of his dragon heads biting down.
this could be 0/0/0/0 and I'd still be just as hyped
this is how to get to me to buy a wii u
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.

"The game is fun and there's a lot of stuff happening on the screen, reminds me of my chilhood when I watched Nagaoka fireworks with my parents. Bayonetta character is cool!" 10/10
"There's a lot of combos and moves, so you are always trying different stuff! Exciting!. Too bad is a bit too hard for my tastes" 9/10
"Bayonetta was such a good game, and Bayonetta 2 is even better!" 10/10
"The action on the screen is fast but the controls are very good, so is ok. But sometimes I get confused with so many effects on the screen" 9/10
not real

didn't they give Asura's Wrath a 40/40 as well?

Well, that was kind of my larger point about the reviews not being based on anything real.
That list isn't all 40's.
Well, look at that list. How many games came out before Ocarina of Time on that list? So far as I can see, Super Mario 64 and Link to the Past. That's it. (Three inarguable picks, too.)
Now look at how many of the games on that list came out in the last five years. It's a total joke.

Please name a pet simulator that is more charming than Nintendogs which came out in 2005. Nintendogs is the best pet simulator of all time and it deserves a 10.

Bayonetta 2 is a Day 1 game for me.
I need that Bayo 3 and I want nintendo to do more of this sort of thing.
Why must I like things which have one hell of a uphill battle to make.

I just snapped out of it and realized I was steering at that gif for well over two minutes straight, as if under a spell. That damn witch!
...But it truly is mesmerizing!

What a loser, who cares that much about a shit review from a shit reviewer?

Wait, it wasn't? I'm pretty sure it was.
It had a 60 fps target iirc, but it's not fixed. Like every Platinum game except MGR on PC.

Why is everyone hating on Nintendogs?
It was really good at what it did!

Just announcing Bayo 2 was enough for me.
Xenoblade 2 and all the first party stuff I absolutely love is just gravy.
Kind of like my PS4 being a Diablo 3 box, until something else I might happen to even remotely be interested in comes out on it, just so Bayo for my Wii U. Except for the whole temporality of the releases, thing.

Somebody please sell me their WiiU for $50. Thanks!
I wonder who at Platinum cut the check to Famitsu. Maybe Nintendo picked up the tab instead.
Famitsu is laughably corrupt. Anyone who complains about western game journalism should look at Famitsu who has been doing this pay for play shit for decades.

Same score as the original. Cool.
