Bayonetta gets 40/40 from Famitsu (12th game in history)

[ZenfoldorVGI]

Gratz Bayonetta. You broke a landmark from a gaming review source that actually matters, and is internationally famous.

One of the last publications you can actually go to, to get news first, and one of the last unbiased sources of reviews, who aren't afraid to give an opinion.

I respect Famitsu, and I respect their scoring system. Spending the entire thread bashing the reviewer, instead of congratulating the game, because you would rather be touting an exclusive, is frusterating to me. You might just enjoy bashing. You have no real investment in the game or the source. But when in doubt, bash, right?

One thing I hate, is that no game this gen can get the respect it deserves unless it's an exclusive. Games like GTAIV get constantly flamed, while less than stellar exclusives like Resistance 2, just gets "never mentioned." Fallout 3, one of the most acclaimed and loved games ever, actually gets flamed on the forum on the regular, but I've never heard a bad word about Valkyria Chronicles, though(while great) it was much worse. Now we have people bashing MW2 because it isn't exclusive. I've even heard an argument that "a game can't be good unless it's exclusive." Some people on this site, actually believe that.

The problem is, sometimes, they don't say that's why they are bashing a game. They don't say "it's because it sucks on my system" or "it's because it's a multiplat, and its competing against my excluvises." They make up arbitrary reasons and disguise them as their opinion. They have an agenda.

I really hate anonymous internet opinion. You know why? Because they're fake. Most of these people haven't even played enough of the game to form an opinion, and they ALL have an agenda behind said opinion.

This thread is FULL of presumption. Full of assumption. "Surely Bayonetta can't be a good as XXX, who are we kidding." It must be at least decent. It is by the creator of the original DMC. Without him, you wouln't have God of War, yet people imply that this won't be better than, UGH DMC4!? If God of War III or Alan Wake got a 40 percent, this would be a celebration thread!

Another thing I've found about this thread I hate, is the presumption that a demo is indicative of the final quality of the game.

Sure, that's the premise of demos, but if you haven't figured out that they very rarely capture any essence of the actual game, then why am I listening to your opinions about gaming, if you can't figure out something so simple and obvious?

Am I wrong? Are demos usually indicative of a games final quality? Or instead, are they meant to prevent you from buying a game you absolutely hate? They are a small portion of a game. They aren't the whole game. How can anyone review or judge a game by playing 10 minutes of the beta?

Some people have no problem with it, apparently. Yet they FLAME Famitsu. You get it? They flame a real reviewer, while giving their "reviews" based off a 15 minute demo. It stuns me. No, you can't be held to the same standards as Famitsu for your opinions, obviously, but you should, because if you were held to those standards, most people would fail in every one.

That's just my opinion. I vented a little, but I'm not flaming anyone. I'm just saying that some of the stuff you people have said made me angry, plus the general direction of this thread.

 

forgive my grammar, I'm typing from my phone.
