Does anyone know why there have been no Dengeki scores popping up in a while?
Haven't seen one for Bayonetta, NSMB WII, etc.

Would like to know what they would give FFXIII as compared to Famitsu.

 

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

I know they reviewed Demon's Souls and gave it a much better score than Famitsu.

 

 

That's my issue with Famitsu these days.  The only games that get high scores are games from publishers Famitsu has big marketing deals with.  The rest are often underscored quite heavily.  Famitsu gave Demon's Souls a 29/40, while Dengeki gave it something like 95/85/85/80.  Lost Odyssey also scored pretty low, if I recall correctly, while the Last Remnant got a 38/40.  Yeah, it totally deserved that.

I think Final Fantasy XIII will be a great game (I already have it pre-ordered), but there's no way in hell I'm trusting a Famitsu score.  Five years ago they were actually somewhat reliable.

Wow, such a low score for Demon's Souls, I didn't even know that  

I guess they aren't fans of the entire system of Demon's Souls, even though we should compare it's score to what the King's Fields games got in the past *Starts looking around the interwebz*

OT - As I said, there's no problem with the score, I know most people was expecting a perfect score from them, but If you look at all scores for FF games, you'll see that the only one who had a perfect score was FFXII (and don't start saying it didn't deserve it, for the 10000000th time).

Everyone who was expecting the game will still enjoy it and have a blast, it's Final Friggin Fantasy people XD
