Famitsu is literally garbage when it comes to consistent scoring.

I would argue that nearly any reviewer or reviewing agency for videogames are like this.  I started not caring much about scores (or at least not letting it dictate whether or not I should buy a game) when I started seeing great games get low scores (coming from pretty much anywhere) and horrible games getting great scores.  

But famitsu is really obvious with the bullshit. I mean Tekken Tag 2 on Wii U is literally the same game from PS360 + additional content, but gets a lower score. Monster Hunter 3G gets HD textures, 1080p, free Online Multiplayer and 3DS Crossplay and gets scored less. Also, their 4 reviewer system is great in theory but blatantly misused in this case. I mean, have you ever seen the individual scores to actually diverge by more than 1 or 2 points? It's like 4 clones of the same person review the games every single time. It would be way more believable if one of them would pull a Sterling once in a while.

 

I mean, really?

 

Resident Evil 6 (PS3/360) – 10/10/10/9

 

Really? REALLY? How big is the chance of getting 4 completely unbiased people to independently review the game and absolutely LOVE it?
