Since 2005 a perfect score from Famitsu means nothing, they have zero credibility. I guess the next "40" is Final Fantasy XIII.

Why does it means nothing?

I guess he's trying to say two things.

1. I hate FF12 and they gave it a 40.

2. They've been giving out 40s left and right this generation so they have less value.

wouldn't that mean the this gen has been the best. the games they have given a perfect score this gen have being games that we could expect famitsu to give high scores to, in other words, not surprising(except for 428) i remember when people were like "game of the century is here"when GTA4 started getting perfect scores from reviewers here in the west, bue screamed blasphemy when 428 or FFXII got a perfect score in famitsu, people still dont understand that japanese have their general state as well as westerns have their general tastes, and for the most part, taste can cause a big tilt in reviews.

Hey, I'm not trying to say that any game does or not deserve the score.

Although, I wouldn't go to hard on the GTA4 thing. It won "Biggest Disappointment of the Year" here in the 2008 awards.
